Located in picturesque North Shropshire, Mickley Stud is home to the exciting first-season stallion UBETTABELIEVEIT, winner of the Group 2 Flying Childers, plus MASSAAT, the sire of Group 1 winner Docklands, and the dual-purpose stallion YORGUNNABELUCKY, who continues to produce quality winners under both codes.
These stallions continue in the tradition that has served customers of the stud very well since we were established in 2005. We have built our reputation by standing stallions with excellent cross bloodlines, offering breeders cost-effective breeding options, with the possibility of solid commercial returns, and whose progeny offer realistic prospects of being successful on the racecourse.
The first crop of Ubettabelieveit started with a bang, achieving enough success to put him among the top first-season sires in 2025. This son of Kodiac offers a real source of speed for breeders, and we are delighted to be standing him at Mickley Stud. Commercially, he has captured the eye of the market, with yearlings selling for up to 90,000gns in 2025.
Former stallions such as Captain Gerrard (Leading First Season Sire) , Overbury (leading NH sire), and Karinga Bay (champion sire of chasers), all helped to establish Mickley Stud as a reliable centre for breeding competitive and commercial foals and yearlings.
We have earned a reputation for professionalism and high standards of care, and continue to demonstrate the effectiveness of our top-class feeding regime and our philosophy of rearing in herds, to encourage the development of their ability to act within a group. Our results back up our commitment to breeding strong, tough, individuals with great temperaments.
