Duncan Taylor, who founded Taylor Made Farm in 1976 and developed it into an industry-leading consigning, boarding, and stallion operation, stepped back as the farm's president and CEO in January, BloodHorse reports.
Under the company's new structure, Mark Taylor, previously Taylor Made's vice president of marketing and public sales operations and the youngest of the four brothers in the operation, has taken Duncan's spot as president and CEO. Frank Taylor, previously vice president of boarding operations, is now vice president of sales. Ben Taylor, previously vice president of stallions, is now president of Taylor Made Stallions.
Duncan Taylor will remain with the company as senior Thoroughbred consultant.
The next generation of the Taylor family will also be taking new positions within the organization.
Katie Taylor, daughter of Frank, is now vice president of operations. Logan Payne, the son of Taylor Made partner and Thoroughbred advisor Pat Payne, will take over as vice president of boarding and general manager of the farm.
Duncan Taylor founded Taylor Made with business partner Mike Shannon in 1976, starting as a boarding operation, and moving into sales consignment two years later, developing into a perennial leading seller at North America's biggest sales by volume, gross, and racetrack success. The operation began standing stallions in 1997, highlighted by leading commercial and racetrack sire Unbridled's Song.
