BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Over 10 years ago renowned equine trainer Phoebe Murray established the “Stallions of Substance” in Grayshott, Surrey. From a long line of celebrated equine trainers Phoebe has concentrated on perfecting the outstanding performance of her Andalusian Stallions who have gained a reputation for their grace and unique style.

Sisters Siobhan, Anne Marie, Charlette and Sarah Jane have inherited the innate training and horsemanship skills from their mother, now making the show a third generation display, and with Charlette’s son Kian nearly three, the fourth generation will be joining in a year or so, not forgetting the girl's younger brother Jack who is the motorbike stunt rider (horsepower NOT horse power).

Their obvious talent has attracted significant media interest. The Murray sisters represent the future of the Stallions of Substance display team and have already been handpicked by the BBC to star in an international documentary on talented animal trainers.
