Agistment
From its beginnings on that picturesque hill country property, Bowness earned a reputation for raising strong, durable, and high-performing thoroughbreds.
The Property
Spelling paddocks at Watershed are generally 25 acres in size, allowing horses the space and freedom to roam, develop strength, and maintain both physical and mental well-being during their time off. The size and structure of our paddocks are designed to support bone density, muscle development, and overall soundness particularly beneficial for young or recovering horses.
In addition to top-quality pasture, we utilise an on-farm feed mixer to create tailored, mineral-dense blends using feed primarily grown on the property. This level of control ensures that each horse receives the optimum nutrition required for recovery, growth and maintenance. Horses that spell here consistently return to racing in peak health and condition, and long-term spelling on the property has proven particularly successful.
Watershed is conveniently located just four hours from Sydney, making it an easy and efficient drive for transport companies. Our accessibility, combined with our high standard of care, makes Bowness Stud at Watershed an ideal choice for spelling and agistment throughout the season.
What We Have To Offer
Bowness Stud and Watershed Farm pride themselves on providing lush, nutrient rich pastures, along with regular blends and feed mixes of home-grown hay, legumes and grains.
On Watershed Farm we utilise a Keenan feed mixer as part of our program. With our Keenan, we scientifically mix high protein blends and nutrient supplements together with feed, placing an emphasis on keeping acidosis minimised.
Complete rations are mixed together and dispersed to horses on a regular basis so they consistently receive a high quality dietary intake. Our mixes and pastures are designed to promote intestinal health, heightened immunity and improved bone and muscle density. Along with an abundant paddock pasture, this assists horses to reach their full genetic potential.
