Reavill Farm
Description
The Farm is located about an hour from Sydney at Freemans Reach in New South Wales, Australia. The property consists of around 200 acres – partly on fertile, irrigated flood plane adjacent to the Hawkesbury River and partly in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. The varied landscape provides conditions to cater for all stages of thoroughbred development.
The Farm was developed by founders (and owners) John and Sheenah Rippon, who have been breeding thoroughbreds for around 18 years, gradually increasing the quality of their broodmare band. John, who is Managing Director of the operation, is also a civil engineer and CEO of RHIC, a major infrastructure provider.
At any one time, the Farm runs between forty to fifty broodmares, producing yearlings to sell at the top Australian yearling auctions (in January at Magic Millions and in April at the Inglis Easter Sale). The mares are kept in a "closed herd" and are walked onto studs in the Hunter Valley and elsewhere.
