About Us

We are a small, progressive stable and farm in Scone with a focus on quality over quantity. With 10–15 horses currently in race work and another 5–6 in pretraining for other trainers, we operate a hands-on, team-focused business with modern facilities and a practical, innovative approach.

We also rear and prepare our own weanlings and offer pre-training services for outside clients. Our team is passionate about developing each horse to its full potential and doing things differently from the traditional model.

Trainer Jeremy Gask has trained horses internationally, including Group and Listed winners in the UK, Dubai, and Australia. His focus is on longevity, soundness, and the individual development of every horse.
