After five years in
the role of Assistant Stud Manager at famed thoroughbred nursery, Segenhoe
Stud, Fergal Connolly established his own boutique broodmare farm Valiant Stud in
2018 and the first breeding season for the enterprise has been a huge success.
Set on 200 acres of pristine horse country, Valiant Stud is located in the
heart of the Hunter Valley - nestled between prominent stallion farms Newgate
and Darley - offering a great location for mares to walk on and visit the best
stallions in the country.
"We would like to thank the breeders who have supported
us, our staff and service providers including vets and farriers that have made
2018 such a successful year," said Fergal Connolly.
"It's an extremely busy time of year, so a special thankyou to the stallion
farms for being so accommodating with our bookings."
Valiant Stud moves into a new phase of the business in 2019 with the first
draft of Valiant Stud consigned yearlings now being prepared for the Magic
Millions Yearling Sale at the Gold Coast.
Valiant Stud will present a draft of 15 including youngsters by champion sires
Snitzel, Zoustar, Pierro and Lonhro, click here to see the draft.

Classic favourite Unite and Conquer.
