About Us

Evan was born on Aberogwrn Farm, and showed from an early age that he was a keen stockman on the family's dairy farm.

Evan's grandfather and his parents trained and rode winners under rules and point to points. He left school age 16, and combined riding point-to-point winners with working at home on the farm. In 1998 he started training a handful of point-to-pointers and met with meteoric success.

In 2002 he won the National Point-to-Point Championship and later became the leading point-to-point trainer in Britain. In all Evan has trained and ridden over 200 point-to-point winners. In 2003/2004 Evan took out his trainer’s license and his successes in racing continued. He trained a Grade 1 winner (Sunray) within 6 months of receiving his license.

To date over 530 winners have been trained from Aberogwrn Farm including big race successes:

State of Play - Aintree, Hennessy Gold Cup and Charlie Hall Chase Winner, also placed in three consecutive Grand Nationals.

Deep Purple - Winner of 6 Grade 2's including the Charlie Hall and Peterborough Chase, London National and listed hurdle winner.

Many of our winners have been purchased by Evan who has a keen eye for bloodstock and is always on the look out for the next big winner.

Evan is married to Cath who continued to train point-point winners after Evan took out his professional license, training over 50 winners in 2 seasons including winning Champion Horse with Canon Bridge, who chalked up 9 wins in one season. She now works along side Bev in the office. Cath and Evan have 3 children William, Isabel and Ellie.
