HVWS is situated 2 hours north of Sydney in the Hunter Valley near the township of Dungog. Our property has 400 acres of highly fertile pastures which are irrigated by a 2 kilometer frontage to the Williams River.

HVWS has created new fencing to cater for the separate agistment of mares, fillies, colts and geldings in a safe environment.

Our stud has full size arena, round yard, stables, night paddocks and fresh river water outlets in each paddock. Our paddocks are fertilised and mowed regularly to ensure the productivity and quality of grasses.  Our general turn out paddock ($45 per week), consists of approximately 50 acres of flat to hilly, well timbered land with creek, dam and water trough.
