With a growing client base and potential opportunities in what looms as an uncertain market, Lime Country will also be stepping into the weanling trading market for the first time since moving to Australia

“It’s generally something we’ve left to clients of the farm, while we have stuck to the growing out, preparing and consigning of horses since we have been at Lime Country Australia, however we feel we are now in a good position to invest,” said Jo Griffin.

“We believe there are opportunities in the market at this time and combined with the enthusiasm of our client base we intend to add to the two colts purchased at Inglis earlier in the month and divide them up as we have previously with various groups of owners for diversity while maintaining a percentage for the farm as well.”

Lime Country have leased out their under-utilised breaking and pre-training facility.

“Back in 2018 we elected to wind up that side of the business to concentrate on the broodmares and sale preparation of yearlings,” said Jo Griffin.

“From August 1 we have leased out this area of the farm which will now be put to good use. It is an outstanding facility including boxes, a 1200m turf track, all weather arena, turn out paddocks and treadmill that we are delighted to see will be in full use going forward.”
