About Lustre Lodge
Lustre Lodge Thoroughbreds is dedicated to breeding superior thoroughbreds with a focus on producing sound, athletic, and healthy racehorses. The business prioritises the selection, mating, and care of high-quality broodmares, rather than seeking to profit from horse agistment. The business is owned by three families who are all passionate about thoroughbred breeding.
Conveniently located just 45 minutes north of Hornsby, Lustre Lodge enjoys a strategic position between Sydney and Scone, inland from the Wyong racecourse. This prime location allows easy access for visitors from Sydney while also being in close proximity to Scone, renowned as the equine capital of Australia, where most commercial stallions stand. This strategic placement not only offers an ideal setting for horse breeding but provides a convenient hub for racing enthusiasts and industry professionals to engage with our facilities and witness the development of our exceptional thoroughbreds.
Its prime location in the heart of horse-raising country, resting on alluvial soil flats at the foothills of the Yengo National Park, provides an ideal setting for nurturing racehorses. Boasting a mix of level paddocks for young horses and rolling hills for older stock, the farm’s 28 separate paddocks, increasing in size towards the rear, cater to the needs of horses at every stage of their development. The property benefits from consistent coastal rainfall, and significant investments in drainage and irrigation over the past decade ensure an optimal environment for the horses’ year round.
The company’s logo embodies its mission, with the royal blue colour representing the significance that exceptional pedigrees play in producing superior racehorses, while the emerald green symbolises the crucial role that the environment and nutritious pastures has in this endeavour. The image of the mare and her young foal encapsulates the successful combination of these two key elements.
Lustre Lodge has convenient access to experienced local equine vets and is positioned within a short drive to specialist vets in Sydney and Scone as needed, ensuring the health and well-being of the horses are always prioritised.
At Lustre Lodge Thoroughbreds, we pride ourselves on not just being a breeding facility, but a partner in breeding success.
