Custom-built for thoroughbreds, on undulating country east of Geraldton.
Yanget Farm — situated on 2,000 acres east of Geraldton — has been custom-built around how we believe horses should be raised.
The farm itself has a wide variety of soil and landscape: undulating country, soft sand, firm and rocky ground, and everything in between. Horses are managed in a natural way, just as they would have been throughout their evolutionary history. The pasture is an all-natural mix, balanced with managed feed to keep the horses well and growing smoothly through their lives.
Without the cold, dark winters seen further south, the winter months in Geraldton are a huge benefit. Winter — typically when horses grow hair and divert energy into fat stores to maintain body temperature — instead becomes an opportunity to grow. Horses recuperate much faster.
Paddocks are designed to manage rainfall with ease — slopes create creeks, never stagnant water. A huge benefit to horses with feet troubles, and the climbs to water and feed promote muscle use, blood flow, and general good health.
Larger paddocks mean larger areas to roam, more horses to interact with, and a more natural experience. Horses are grouped by age, with educated, calm older nannies where required to balance a young one's spell.
With the assistance of Coastal Equine, the farm offers year-round vet care and medical assistance. The barn has been built to a medical-level standard with the ability to deal with most non-surgical conditions — from colic cases to common injuries. Horses are afforded 24/7 surveillance including any-time medication, CCTV monitoring, and specialised boxes for easy management.
We also offer foaling and breeding assistance. Foaling is the highest-risk period of a mare's career — it's said that 1 in 10 foalings present with abnormalities — and it's critical these are managed by an experienced person on site, rather than waiting for issues to arise. Mares and foals receive 24/7 care including monitoring and regular vet visits and scans.
