Riverslea Farm Thoroughbred Stud at Denman

Riverslea purchase new farm at Denman NSW

After many successful years at our property in Aberdeen, I began looking for a new property we could expand to.  In 2008, I found a dream property right in the middle of the Hunter Valley's horse breeding heartland.  Surrounded by such recognised properties as Coolmore, Woodlands, Widden, Barumal, Patinack and Baerami, I knew we were in the right place.  The farm less than ten kilometres from Denman. The 100 acre property has over a kilometre of river frontage and is on the junction of the Goulborn and Wybong Rivers. The paddocks are fenced from the beautiful river flats through to the gently sloping hills with irrigation over 90% of the property when needed. I really think it's just perfect for us to keep the standard that our clients and buyers have become accustomed.

In 2006 Riverslea won the Stablemate - Magic Millions Award for Yearling Preparation at the Gold Coast sales. That was a great thrill, winning the 'gold medal' of yearling preparation considering there was over 1000 yearlings at the sales and four individual judges.

Karen's love for mares and foals has her very hands-on during the breeding season, running the vet shed and keeping all records and mare bookings running smoothly. I am always on the lookout for new mares for both our clients and our own farm.
