Rae-Louise Kelly of Fernrigg Farm showcases her dual passion for breeding and retraining thoroughbreds. While the Hunter Valley farm is known for producing quality young stock, it also serves as a second-chance haven for retired racehorses, who are successfully transitioning into show jumping and eventing. With strong support from her team, Rae-Louise fosters a culture where both people and horses thrive beyond the racetrack.
Fernrigg also offers agistment and retraining for owners looking to continue their horse’s journey after racing. From Caulfield Cup winner Descarado (NZ) (High Chaparral {Ire}) to up-and-coming sport horses, Fernrigg blends elite breeding with thoughtful rehoming, proving that thoroughbreds have plenty more to give after their racing days are done.
