Blackwood Lodge is an excellent thoroughbred property providing agistment for Racehorses and broodmares and their offspring. We offer a complete range of services covering all aspects of spelling, breeding and horse management as well as yearling preparation for all major sales.

We believe that we have developed a great service at very competitive rates.

Spellers - Racehorse Agistment

On arrival each horse is let down before going to the paddock by overnighting in a box and then moving to a small paddock for several days before being allowed the run of a large paddock. This also serves as a quarantine period and for observation. Safety and health are paramount. All horses are fed twice a day rugged and inspected at feed time. Nothing is more frustrating for a trainer than to receive a horseback from the spelling paddock in great condition, only to find the horses feed are in no condition to be shod and worked at the level needed. We have a farrier attend the property weekly.

We understand the needs of owners who are keen to know how their horses is progressing so monthly condition report is provided.
