“Goanna Downs” was purpose built in 2007 for the agistment of broodmares and to facilitate foaling down and weaning in the safest possible conditions.

Extensive pasture improvements have been undertaken and are continuing under the management of consulting agronomist Ross Watson of Ross Watson Agriculture. Many kilometres of new fencing have been installed creating large agistment paddocks, pre-foaling paddocks, foaling paddocks and separate quarantine paddocks all with wide laneways to provide separation. This ensures a safe environment for your broodmares and foals.

We have 20 spacious boxes all with automatic waterers to enable the mares and foals safe, comfortable accommodation should they need to be stabled for any reason. We have well lit foaling down paddocks, provision for mares under lights and we have the latest paddock cleaning technology to ensure clean quality pastures and excellent facilities for your mares and foals.

A new mare and foal crush has been built to ensure the safe handling of all broodmares and foals during all veterinary procedures.

The owners live on the property providing 24 hour attention. We are carrying limited numbers of horses, in the best possible modern facilities, designed for the safety and well being of your horses. The nutrition and condition of each horse is catered for individually.

Thanks for looking after our mares again this season. We appreciate the care provided and the individual attention given to each of our girls and their foals. We are especially happy with the progress of the foals and feel that we could not have done any better getting our future yearlings off to a positive start. We were impressed with the excellent facilities and setup of the farm on our last visit and also with the relaxed environment you have established for the horses – one of the main goals for our broodmares is a stress-free lifestyle. We would be happy to recommend your farm to any broodmare owner looking for individual and top level care for their investment
