Welcome to bowness stud

Bowness Stud is a family owned and operated thoroughbred property, long established as a proven nursery for racing stock of the very highest calibre.

Set in the hilltops area on the south-west slopes of NSW, Bowness Stud is strategically placed between the two major thoroughbred breeding centres of in both New Sale Wales and Victoria, where we offer full mare walk-on breeding services to all major studs in both regions.

The clean, undulating countryside of Young is the perfect environment for the development of future racehorses. Our generously sized paddocks and first-class pastures are a proven source of elite performers, including the likes of Trapeze Artist, Youngstar, Funstar and Media Award — all very noteworthy Group 1 winners.

About Us

The Bowness-Watershed enterprise, a family-owned and operated business, strives to keep fees and charges reasonable, recognising the importance of your success for our own.

D’Argento

D’Argento makes great appeal as one of the very finest sons So You Think, a hugely successful sire-son of High Chaparral from the peerless Sadler’s Wells sireline. Throw into the mix the prodigious influence of his maternal great grandsire Kenmare, and D’Argento provides breeders with a blend of bloodlines that have met with profound success over numerous decades.
