Stephen Irwin Bloodstck buying/selecting Weanlings, Yearlings and Broodmares

Stephen Irwin Bloodstock

Regarded as one of Australia's top pinhookers over the last 10 years, I have decided to offer my expertise to the thoroughbred industry.

I have been bought up in this industry and have done my time and one thing that is very different about myself to a lot of other bloodstock agents is I have spent my own money buying and selling horses. I know what it is like to have a big win and also how much it hurts to lose money selling horses.

Karen and myself will be offering people our expertise in all areas of the thoroughbred industry.

Weanling selection and pinhooking: This is the area we will target the most, as we have a fantastic record and results. Being a horseman first I know what a weanling looks like today and how it will devolpe over the next 12 months, this is where I belive my 26 years of hands on experience gives me a great advantage over most other agents. I will be attending all weanling sales and also contacting  farms that may have weanlings for sale.

We wil also offer a service after purchase of the weanling, of rasing and preparing it for sale or to race, remember I will be looking after your horse like it is my own as I know personaly what it is like to invest money into weanlings.

Broodmare selection: We will offer all services with broodmare selection and mating advice and as well you can agist your mare with us as we can do all walkouts to local stallions. Karen and myself know what it is like to not get your mare in foal, we wont leave a stone unturned on helping get that pregnancy for your mare.

Yearling selection: For the past 26 years I have raised and prepared Champions, Group 1 winners etc. Yearlings have been my forte as most people in the industry know. I can now put that to good use and help people select and do short list for the upcoming sales.
