Lionel & Georgia Ferreira

Monnington Farm is a premier Saddlebred training facility located in the heart of Horse country in Simpsonville Kentucky, owned by Lionel & Georgia Ferreira. Their goal is to bring people, horses and perfection together, with an emphasis on quality in every aspect of their facility.

Lionel Ferreira originally from South Africa has been around saddlebreds from an early age, after leaving school he went to Kentucky to work for some of the leading trainers in the industry to hone his craft. John & Angela Bulmer of the famous Bulmer’s Cider Dynasty in Hereford, England spotted his talent and offered him a private job and over the last 10 years he has brought out Champion after Champion whilst also dealing with the long distances involved in flying horses over from abroad to compete on the Kentucky Circuit.

Lionel is well-known for his selection and training of top young horses and amateur horses alike, having selected and sold such stars as –CH SJ Like a Champ, WC Gothic Revival, RWGC Carlsward Princes Domino, WC Calif First Night Out, SJ The Smart Lady, Jonazell Mighty Spirit and WC Marc of Charm.

Georgia Bulmer Ferreira grew up in England around show horses and is a lifelong enthusiast and exhibitor. Georgia is a trained Interior Designer and has featured in the leading 40 designer’s directory of London. More recently has propelled the move over to Kentucky, she says of Lionel. “It’s extraordinary watching his dedication and love for what he does; he sets a goal and works tirelessly to achieve it”. The future looks set to be an exciting one.

Lionel Ferreira now for the first time after many years of competing at the highest level of the Saddlebred Industry is opening his doors and Monnington Farm looks forward to welcoming you.
