The prefix 'Arradoul' originated as the prefix for the Arradoul dairy herd of British Friesian cows that dominated the North East of Scotland.
The Arradoul Dairy Herd finally halted business in November 2002. Emphasis has since shifted to the horses that remain in the family, particularly of our Clydesdales, and with our Thoroughbred Stallion.
In recent memory an Arradoul cow won the supreme Dairy Championship at the Royal Highland Show for two years running.

To many people Arradoul Equal's Netty IV was the definitive Friesian cow.

Past to Present
Although we also breed thoroughbred horses, ponies and cross breeds, the Arradoul prefix is now most commonly associated with our line of Clydesdale Horses.
Clydesdale horses have been present in our family for many generations. Originally used as working horses to deliver milk around the district, our horses are now produced for the show rings locally and nationally throughout Scotland. They can be see competing throughout Scotland both in hand and under saddle.
The entire family is involved in some way with out successes in breeding, both in front the public eye, and more importantly behind the scenes.
