WARRAWEE FARM- about us

Warrawee farm is a small commercial breeder of quality Standardbreds. In the recent past, beginning with two foundation mares, we have produced O’Brien winners, Warrawee Kirra and Worthy Countessa and such notables as Warrawee Kes, King of Trot, Warrawee Caesar, Mystic Howard, Camystic, Annie's SJ, who won his 2000 Breeder's Crown elimination for 2 yr old trotting colts and in 2003, Warrawee F;are wjp wpm jer forst race, a gold elimination in a sparkling 1.55.1 and came 3rd in the final race timed in 1.54.2!!

 

We do not operate a horse feedlot, believing strongly that both mares and yearlings should have space and air. Consequently, they have access to open housing on acres where they can, and do, race each other, year round to develop muscles, bone and a competitive spirit.

Nutrition is obviously important in the development of champions.  We believe that yearlings should not be asked to grow too quickly as this may put stress on growth plates and lead to OCD.  All of our horses have free access to minerals and none receive more than 14% protein in their diet at any time.  All yearlings are vaccinated against rabies, West Nile virus, EVR and equine influenza.

Warrawee Farm has never, and will never, bid on our own yearlings. We took back Warrawee Kes, only because no one bid on her! On occasion, we do retain daughters from some of our mares, when we need to replace mares with particular pedigrees, and, because we do enjoy the anticipation and excitement of racehorse ownership.

 

“Warrawee” is an Australian aboriginal word  meaning "come and visit”.

We invite you to Warrawee to see our outstanding yearlings
