FACILITIES

Joe and Jen Sommerfield have designed and constructed the Blue Hills thoroughbred breeding, education and agistment facility, on their 300 acre property, in the Maclagan-Quinalow area, approximately 70kms north of Toowoomba .

Set on improved, fertile pastures, Blue Hills Thoroughbreds is the ideal environment to stand your stallion or agist your horses. Clients can rest assured that their horses will receive the care and attention that they deserve, being fed premium quality feed twice a day and all paddocks containing natural shade provided by well established trees.

Blue Hills Thoroughbreds has been operational since September 2008 and is only taking a limited number of horses at very reasonable agistment rates. The property has the capacity to take weanling's, yearling's, dry mares, mares and foals, and stallions.

A lot of thought has gone into the design and layout of Blue Hills Thoroughbreds as safety of each clients’ horse/s is their number one priority. By consulting other stud owners, vets and fencers in areas like the Hunter Valley & South East Queensland, they have been able to combine a number of ideas and designs to use to their advantage and deliver the best experience to their resident horses.

All mare paddocks consist of wooden and capped steel posts, with four strand electric wire, the top wire being Gallagher equi fence for clearer visibility and added safety.

The Stallion paddocks are a very spacious, 30 by 70 meters, made from rolled top and bottom steal railing, 3 electric Gallagher equi fence wires and an individual lock up stable with day yard attached.

Our large mare and foal stables are designed for space comfort and safety. Foaling down paddocks are made from 3 rolled top and bottom steal railing for added safety for the new born.
