Philosophy

The Hinterland philosophy is that no one horse is the same so when a horse comes to Hinterland Thoroughbreds, no one horse will be treated the same, they all have an individualised program depending on their needs at that particular time.

Our graduates

We use Hinterland Thoroughbreds for all aspects of breaking, pre-training and spelling. The yearlings are always superbly educated with Hinterland, and adapt to the busier environment of trackwork very well with impeccable manners. We have also used Hinterland to spell our older horses, including Zaaki and Mo’unga who spent the winter in Queensland. The warmer weather, spacious paddocks and overall care that the team provide, creates an environment for healthy and happy horses.

Annabel Neasham, Trainer

Sarah, I am truly impressed with the impact your feeding and pre training program has had on the  appearance, attitude and fitness of all our thoroughbreds we have put in your care over the last few months. I can’t remember them looking so healthy and race prep ready. As a Veterinarian and horse breeder,  quality care and attention to detail is high on my list. I highly recommend Sarah and her team. Thanks again!
