About Us
With over 14 years of experience as Assistant Trainer to Hugo Palmer, I have dedicated my career to developing, training, and caring for racehorses to the highest standards. I now manage Haafhd Stables in Santon Downham, where I continue to provide professional care, with a strong focus on quality, welfare, and the development of racehorses.
I offer a range of specialist services, including breaking, pre-training, rest and recuperation, sales preparation, and rehabilitation. Set in a peaceful forest location, our facilities provide horses with the opportunity to step away from the demands of training, offering the perfect environment to relax, recover, and return refreshed.
Whether preparing young horses for the next stage of their careers or supporting their return to full fitness, my commitment is to provide exceptional care, expertise, and dedication to every horse.

‘I have known Angie Shea many years and I have yet to come across a more consummate or professional horseperson. Her attention to detail, dedication, natural talent combined with her excellent communication skills make Angie the obvious choice for my own horses and those of my clients. I couldn’t recommend anyone higher!’
Duncan Moir BVetMed, MRCVS, Baker McVeigh International
'I have worked with Angie for over 10 years and can recommend her professionalism and attention to detail without any hesitation. I cannot think of a better person to care for your horse at whatever stage they are in their career.'
James and Tom Fanshawe, Pegasus Stables
'Angie has built up a reputation of being a top horse person over many years so when she relocated to Haafhd we were very keen to send her some pre trainers and horses in need of a spell. Each horse has benefitted from their break and has come back to us in great condition. We would always be keen to send our horses out to Angie.'
