'It's not been enjoyable. I want better for my staff, my horses' - Adam West opens French yard with view to permanent move

The 35-year-old has kept five horses in Epsom but they have been moved down the road from Loretta Lodge Stables to Gasston Stables, from which West sent out his first runners in October 2016.
