"The work that Gary does with difficult horses is invaluable to us. There is no doubt that without his advice and expertise we would struggle with these horses both at home and at the races."
Michael Dods, Darlington
"I have learnt more from Gary than any other horseman in the industry. His techniques have given me a better understanding of the thoroughbred."
Richard Gibson, Chantilly
"We have used the services of Witheford Equine for several years now, for breaking yearlings and remedial work and have never been disappointed with the results.
Several horses would not have been able to race for their owners without the assistance of Gary and Craig and their first class team.
A visit to Westcourt Stables never fails to be met by a feeling of welcome and efficiency. Nothing is too much trouble for them, no matter how busy they are."
Jonathon Portman, Compton
"Without Gary’s expertise and the great support from his team, Equiano would have continued to have issues with the starting stalls and I have no doubt that this would have affected his performance.
I consider his services to be a valuable asset to us and would certainly recommend any trainer experiencing stalls problems to call on him for assistance."
Barry Hills, Lambourn
"Professional top class service. A huge help with all our work on starting stalls."
Jeremy Noseda, Newmarket
"I have used Gary Witheford for the last few years to break-in my yearlings and solve starting stall problems.
We have been very pleased with his work which has resulted in more horses who are quiet and well mannered."
John Oxx, The Curragh
I know that if I have got a problem horse, I can ask the Witheford team to sort it out and that they will make sure it loads at the races."
Rod Millman, Cullompton
"For a number of years the input from Gary has been an integral part of the Manton team. He will come at a moments notice and spend as much time as is needed. His help has been invaluable.
He gives horses the confidence they need when entering stalls both at home and at the races and I wish him continued success."
Brian Meehan, Manton
"Gary does an excellent job and has been a big help with horses that are claustrophobic."
Dermot Weld, The Curragh

Dermot Weld, The Curragh
"We use Witheford Equine for all our remedial work, from breaking the vast majority of our yearlings, to stalls work and any problem individuals we may have. Gary and the team are vital to our operation."
David Bowe, Littleton Stud
"There will always be a few difficult horses when it comes to the starting stalls and without Gary's help, a lot of them would be unable to run. Gary's work both here and at his yard is a tremendous help in dealing with difficult characters.
Also, being available to load difficult horses into the stalls at the races completes the work."
Roger Charlton, Beckhampton
"Gary has always provided a first class professional service with a 100% success rate"
Harry Dunlop, Lambourn
"Gary Witheford is a highly accomplished horseman who has great patience and knowledge in his approach to horses. He is recognised as a specialist in starting stalls work and dealing with problem horses."
John Gosden, Newmarket
"Having injured herself quite seriously in the starting stalls, we would probably have had to give up on Sabah, but for Gary. Now she has won for the first time. It is always fun and reassuring to meet Gary at the races."
Sir Roger Buckley, owner of Sabah (GB)
"Both Gary and Craig are exceptional horsemen who specialise in difficult horses with any sort of vices. They work quietly and individually with each horse and always get the best result.
For the last two seasons, they have introduced all our two year olds to the stalls and dealt with any problems that have arisen both during their training and on the racecourse.
Our horses are superbly cared for if they require a period of re-training at Westcourt Stables and I would thoroughly recommend Gary and Craig if you have a horse that has a behavioural problem of any kind or ideally to break them in initially to avoid any problems at a later stage."
Amanda Perrett, Pulborough
"Gary Witheford is a valuable asset to trainers in this fast moving modern racing world."
Tom Tate, Tadcaster
"Gary's confident and professional approach is an important asset to our team"
