ALAN AND LUCY
Come on lets Go Racing, why dont you join the LBN Racing Club and have some great days AT THE RACES. Lucy & Alan have some nice horses for sale. It would be great to see you at the Yard so come along, you will be made welcome. The coffee is always available.

Alan and Lucy Normile have been training racehorses from the tranquil surroundings of Duncrievie, Glenfarg for about seven years and have gradually built up a smart, efficient and friendly racing yard.

They were both born and brought up in the racing community. As an Irishman, Alan has it in his blood and has spent many years working in both Flat and National Hunt yards in England and Ireland. Lucy has been involved with horses for many years, starting in the Pony Club and later point to pointing. This led to a job with Kim Bailey in Lambourn, which is where she met Alan.

After moving to Scotland, Alan and Lucy started training point to pointers. This expanded into a full training establishment in 1999, the same year in which they were married.

They have a five furlong all-weather gallop with a good hill to ensure a proper work out for the horses. This facility makes a great difference to the horses, especially in winter when their preparation should not be undertaken on muddy or frosty ground and they need a sound and reliable surface on which to work.

They have a really great team of loyal staff, who all work very hard all year round through rain and shine - they are all invaluable for their efforts. It is a real team effort at Duncrievie.

They have stabling for 40 horses, with potential for more if required. They have the use of 60 acres of grazing. There is an outdoor school, a covered horse-walker and a variety of schooling logs, tyres, hurdles and fences. The surrounding area has some great places to hack and horses are often taken to the loch for a paddle or a swim at St Andrews beach.

As the seasons have progressed so have our facilities and we are constantly improving the quality of the horses that we have in the yard, this also includes some horses to run on the Flat and with only a few to run on the level they have been in the winners enclosure on many occasions.

Our owners come from near (in the village) and far (Dubai) and in between and we think that we have a good range of ownership opportunities to suit everyone, please ask if you don't find what you are looking for on this website. We are delighted to discuss things and we welcome visitors to the yard at all times.
