You will enjoy a tour of the beautiful property where the paddocks continue to be awash with stakes performers or dams of such, including Group 1-winning mares and their foals. You will also meet the team of Cressfield, who care for these animals 24/7 and uphold high standards and contribute to maintaining a work culture of harmony, hard work, diligence, and learning.
What's On in the Hunter Valley during National Thoroughbred Week:
Cressfield’s history begins in the early 1900’s being initially established as a 10,000-acre wheat and sheep farm and owned by the Hall family until the late 1990’s. It was then subdivided, and in 2000 the 1917 Cressfield Homestead inclusive of approximately 3,500 adjoining acres was purchased by the current owner. Since then, 1,200 acres of this land has been specifically developed for Thoroughbred breeding, transforming the blank canvas of a sheep farm into the premier boutique broodmare farm that it is today. The 1917 Queen Anne Federation Homestead was also completely restored during this time. Taking four and a half years to complete, it retains all its period features while concealing the conveniences of a modern home.
