About Anthony Webber
Anthony Webber has always enjoyed a natural affinity with horses.
Born and raised at Cropredy Lawn in North Oxfordshire, on the farm and racehorse training base of his late father John and now his brother Paul, it was natural that horses soon became a way of life for Anthony.
Encouraged in 1970 by equine practitioner Ronnie Longford MBE, on leaving school Anthony trained in human manipulation with the legendary John McTimoney DC.

More TestimonialsHistory of Anthony Webber
Anthony Webber has a wealth of experience in the Equine world.
While learning the equine technique from Ronnie Longford for a number of years before setting up his own practice, Anthony was a top jump jockey in the first half of the '80s, winning a number of high profile races.
Retained by Roddy Armytage, father of Marcus and Gee, he rode many winners in particular for Peter Bailey, Captain Tim Forster, Andrew Wates, Kim Bailey, Gay Kindersley and especially John Webber. A favourite was The Snipe who won the Massey Ferguson Gold Cup at Cheltenham for his father in 1979. A neck injury in 1986 brought his race riding career to an end.
Anthony, with his then wife Jayne, a suprema in the showing world, had taken over the running of Hillside Stud near Lambourn as a remedial yard during this time. They also brought on some top quality yearlings, including the phenomenal Dancing Brave. This led them to starting off horses for His Highness the Aga Khan, the most notable being Doyoun, the winner of the 2000 Guineas in 1988. After selling Hillside, and while assistant trainer to Captain Tim Forster, Anthony realised that his vocation now lay in restorative work for horses and people.
Anthony continues to mix in the equine world and often stewards at Ascot, Newbury, Stratford, Wolverhampton and Worcester. He also gets the chance to ride some of Jayne’s horses at Carol Bardo’s Moor Farm, judges Show Hunter classes and rides work at Cropredy Lawn.
