Tarwyn Park Stud
VALE Mar 2007
Standing stud stallion
Crazy Moon (Max) passed away
| Whilst
they say a photo saves a million words, it still doesn't
portray the beauty of this upper Hunter River catchment
in Bylong Valley.
It is roughly 3 hours drive North
West from Sydney on the East Coast and is right in the
middle of both wine and thoroughbred horse stud country.
It
is testament to the Natural Farming Sequence system
that Peter Andrews put into place here.
He and his wife Anne, bought the original
Tarwyn Park Stud which is one of Australia's Historic
rural treasures. It was one of the first thoroughbred
horse studs in Australia and the beautiful farmhouse
which is made of stone,
is on the Australian Heritage listings.
|
| In
it's early days many of the nation's leading racehorses
were sired and trained here including 'Heroic',but as
the years went on it was sold and became a farm, cattle
station and eventually it was neglected by it's owners
until Peter and Anne took over.
They acquired many other farms in
the valley and today the Tarwyn Park Stud is nearly
3000 acres and consists of 8 or 9 homesteads, many out
buildings and at peak times is home to 800 thoroughbred
horses. Some of Australia's greatest race horses
were and are at stud there.. |
| Rain
Lover
was one of the very few horses to
win the 3200 metre Melbourne Cup twice and still holds
the record after many years. He had 17 wins between
one and two miles during his four year career.
Eleazar
was considered
to be one of the fastest horses from the stalls
ever in Australia. Many of his prtege are winners
and record holders and that is why he is considered
to have been one of the most prolific sires of winners.
Colourman(USA)
The fastest Bold Ruler horse to
come to Australia and was a good stakes winner in
Europe. Many of his protege are also winners and record
holders.
Ngawyni
Probably the
most versatile horse to race in Australia since
Comic Court or Bernborough. He won 19 races from
900m to 2600m against the very best of company.
Zooming
Zone(USA)
Another great
racer and sire to come to Tarwyn park from USA.
He is sire to many winners.
|
| The
recent major stallion CRAZY MOON
(USA), (passed away Mar 2007)
was a beautiful stallion who is already sire to many
potential major race winners. His progeny are just now
starting to be winners in Group One races.
One
of them, PRAISE INDEED won the coveted Brisbane Cup,
one of Australia's major races.
|
| Peter
and Anne became very attached to their horses and allowed
them to retire and grow old gracefully and have the
run of the place.
The horses are not only available
for racing but for dressage and eventing, and can be
exported anywhere in the world. |
