Over the past nineteen years Westbury Stud has developed a proud tradition of producing superior thoroughbreds that have proven capable of performing at the highest level of competition.
Since our inception in 1990 there have been a number of high quality horses associated with the Westbury name, these include the Champions Buzz Lightyear, Grout, Il Quello Veloce, and Ruby Clipper; while a host of Group One performers have come through the Westbury experience including Able Master, Centisle, Fire Arch, Khaptingly, Our Unicorn, Ruby Clipper, Sedecrem, Shindig, Sight Winner, Gwen's Rules, Manten, Mount Street, Rosina Lad, Skoozi (Please), Soap Opera, and St Rosco.
Westbury Stud now boasts two outstanding properties and totals 512 acres of prime New Zealand farmland between the two operations.
Westbury-Karaka is based just 30 minutes from the CBD of Auckland City and is less than ten minutes from New Zealand Bloodstock's world class selling facility at Karaka. Based on 212 acres, the property is one of New Zealand's most modern facilities with post and rail fencing throughout and home to the stud's five stallions as well as the annual yearling crop which numbers 50.
The newly acquired Westbury-Waikato, formerly Bloomsbury Stud, is a magnificent property located on the "Golden Mile" of Matamata's leading stud farms and stables and providing the perfect partner for the Karaka base and our long term business. The beautifully appointed operation consists of 300 acres of prime Waikato farmland and was developed in the finest style by the Duchess of Bedford and her late husband Robin with fastidious attention to detail in every respect. Like the Karaka facility, Westbury-Waikato offers post and rail fencing throughout the property and will operate as a quality broodmare and spelling farm, offering our clients the ultimate in thoroughbred care for their bloodstock.
It is our aim to continually 'raise the bar' with the level of expertise and quality of management employed at the property, while we take great pride in the achievements of the horses we are entrusted with during their formative years.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our website and should wish to visit either farm in the future we would like to extend an open invitation to inspect the facilities and meet our friendly staff whenever it may be convenient
