We are strategically placed midway between the two major thoroughbred breeding centres of the Hunter Valley and Victoria, and offer full mare walk on breeding services to all major studs in both regions.

The clean undulating countryside is a perfect environment for the breeding, rearing and growth of thoroughbred horses. The generously sized paddocks and first class pastures allow horses to exercise, rest and develop.

Bowness Stud is a quiet, peaceful and sheltered property, situated a comfortable four hours drive from Sydney and one and a half hours from the National Capital, Canberra.

This convenient location allows for easy access for inspections of clients' horses.


At Bowness Stud we offer a range of services, specialising in:

• breeding of commercial thoroughbred horses;
• agistment for thoroughbred broodmares and foals;
• rearing, feeding and sale preparation of weanlings and yearlings;
• agisting, breaking in and spelling of young horses;
• standing stallion Bon Hoffa in southern NSW;
• clients with bloodstock agisted at Bowness Stud are able to receive free consultation and advice from renowned stud master and successful breeder, John North.

Our range of thoroughbred spelling and agistment services and facilities are top quality providing utmost care and attention to your horses needs.
