Nowhere else in the world is such a dazzling line-up of elite stallions available for inspection in one geographical region, the Hunter Valley and international centre of Thoroughbred Breeding Excellence.

Virtual parades and small group appointments will again replace the popular Hunter Valley Stallion large open days weekend.

Breeders are encouraged to contact the individual studs directly, to make appropriate arrangements for private appointments if necessary, to view stallions and bloodstock.
