Welcome to Silverthorn
Australian Stock Horse Stud

Gloucester, NSW, Australia

We are situated in the Gloucester Tops on the Gloucester River, in a beautiful valley that runs from river to mountain tops.

A beef cattle property with country so steep that cattle-work is a difficult task but is efficiently achieved from the backs of our reliable Australian Stock Horses (ASH), enabling us to produce sure-footed, easy going mounts that earn us our living every day. These same horses, without missing a beat, are shown in high level ASH competitions most weekends, after the week’s work is done.

We pride ourselves on the excellent bloodlines that our horses carry, and enjoy breeding, raising, showing and breaking-in our youngsters and seeing them excel in whatever discipline their ultimate owners choose.

Our own show team has its share of success in the led, hack, working and campdraft arena which we feel reflects on the choices we have made in the selection of our breeding stock. Our aim is always to produce a line of horses that are sound, easy going, good minded, and of consistently uniform type.

We feel our long-term breeding programme is on track with the pleasing outcomes of matings by Jugaby, Smoke and Coolabah to daughters and sisters of our foundation sire Montcalm Luke. Silverthorn Shotgun, one of the last sons of Montcalm Luke, produced some quality foals in 2009 and we are looking forward to many more for the 2010 season.
