Multiple generations of O'Bree breeding and racing — distilled into one 2,000-acre farm in Geraldton. Six drafts in. A G1 winner, a stallion now at stud, and stakes horses every year.
In 2020, siblings Dan and Jaime O'Bree began breeding-to-sell thoroughbreds in Western Australia. The foundation was already there — multiple generations of family, heavily involved in the breeding and racing of thoroughbreds.
Dan elevates the quality of our bloodstock through breeding on paper and every detail of our racing operations. From statistics to form guide, he lifts the quality of the horses we produce — overseeing pedigree decisions, sale strategy and graduate placement.
Jaime understands that horses require 24/7 care. With a background in reproduction, massage therapy, handling, and a deep focus on the health, mobility, and long-term performance of every horse on the property — her travels to Belgium, Dubai, Italy, Hunter Valley and England have extended her capabilities within all aspects of horse health.
Six drafts in. A Group 1 winner. A stallion at Newgate. Stakes horses every year. This is not a fluke. Not coincidental. It's proof.
Dan elevates the quality of the operation's bloodstock through breeding on paper and the statistical detail that drives smarter racing decisions. From form analysis to pedigree matching, sale strategy to graduate placement — he manages the full picture of what Ruby Racing and Breeding produces on the track and at the sales. His work is why the results aren't accidental.
Jaime lives on Yanget Farm full-time, dedicated to 24/7 care for every horse on the property. With a background in massage therapy and a deep focus on health, ICU care, mobility, handling, and the long-term performance of foals, spellers and broodmares — she is the daily constant that makes the operation possible. When a horse is under Ruby Racing and Breeding's care, it is under Jaime's care.

Our horses are raised in large, open paddocks across undulating, firm ground — building muscle and conditioning naturally from birth. Every aspect of their early life is chosen specifically to enhance the horse's capabilities and soundness long term. Born here, shaped here.
Treated and shaped as athletes from the day they are born. With the system we have in place, we see a measurable difference in their maturity and capabilities — mentally and physically — by the time they move to the next stage of their careers. The feeding regime, pastures, hill work and herd dynamics are all part of our program before a horse sees a sale ring, training track or performance ring.
We choose to remain a boutique operation. Limited yearling preparation positions each year, 24/7 on-farm care from Jaime, and an experienced equine vet partnership through Coastal Equine.
A family at the centre, with passionate and experienced staff ensuring every detail of the farm is covered. From agistment and reproduction through to rehabilitation and intensive care — Ruby Racing and Breeding is staffed by horsewomen and horsemen who understand what horses need and take pride in every part of it.

A Group 1 Railway Stakes winner in Bustler. A stallion at Newgate in Tiger of Malay — leading the Australian first-season sire table by earnings. A best-2YO-filly-in-the-state in Earthstorm. Listed Goldfields Cups winner Starry Heights. Plus a continuing run of black-type performers across every draft. What this farm produces is not coincidental. It is the direct result of how horses are raised here.
Yanget Farm sits on 2,000 acres approximately 20 km east of Geraldton, with a federation homestead built in 1908. Originally part of the Glengarry Estate — held by the Grant family — the property was purchased by the O'Bree family in 2008. The farm carries more than a century of history: an early horse and pony stud in the 1900s, dairy, beef, lamb and cropping operations, and a wartime landing strip used by over 12,000 soldiers preparing for deployment during World War II. The officers of HMAS Sydney spent their last night on dry land within these walls. It is a place with deep roots that we are proud of and continue to build.
The horse precinct is fully separated from the homestead, with yearling and veterinary capabilities matched to the breeding seasons and consistent year-round vet requirements. A wide variety of soil and landscape — undulating country, soft sand, firm and rocky ground — lets horses be managed in a natural way as they would have throughout their evolutionary history.
Full details on the landscape and history of the homestead and region are at yanget.com.au.
The farm welcomes inspections by appointment. For yearlings on offer, agistment availability or breeding services — speak directly with Dan or Jaime.
