Back Where it Began

Tara Madgwick - Monday December 9

Boutique South Coast based thoroughbred operation Bell View Park has a new manager with accomplished horse woman Mikayla Jeffcoat taking up the role

Mikayla started her career in the thoroughbred industry at Bell View Park in 2012.

After three years on the farm she left to gain more experience and has spent time as yearling manager at both Newhaven Park and Lime Country Thoroughbreds.

"It's exciting to have Mikayla back at Bell View Park,” said Bell view Park’s Adam Mackrell.

“She is an excellent horse woman who is hard working, passionate and has an attention for detail. Mikayla is a perfect fit for Bell View Park and I know our mare are in great hands."

Bell View Park has downsized their operation aiming more towards quality rather than quantity and saw a business opportunity for both Bell View Park and Mikayla's Glenn Lee Thoroughbreds.

Bell View Park is a picturesque farm less than two hours south of Sydney Mikayla will manage Bell View Park's stock and she will also run her own spelling and sale's preparation business on the farm along with her fiancé and business partner Rodney Day.

Mikayla and Rodney will look after a select group of horses to spell and prepare for sales.

If you have an enquiry regarding this, Mikayla can be contacted on 0478153914 or mikayla@gltb.net
