Valiant StudSet on 200 acres of pristine horse country, Valiant Stud is located in the heart of the Hunter Valley - nestled between prominent stallion farms Newgate and Darley - offering a great location for mares to walk on and visit the best stallions in the country.

"We would like to thank the breeders who have supported us, our staff and service providers including vets and farriers that have made 2018 such a successful year," said Fergal Connolly.

"It's an extremely busy time of year, so a special thankyou to the stallion farms for being so accommodating with our bookings."
