Jilly Henderson and Tony Henry with their team at Noogee Park are the true gems of the Hunter Valley, they have a beautiful Thoroughbred property within 5 minutes of Scone NSW - "The Horse Capital of Australia".
"Proud and successful horse people, that are passionate about horse welfare"
Their agistment property provides quality care for broodmares and the raising of their foals to the formative weanling and yearling years on their nutrient filled grazing paddocks.
You can click on this logo to the left and see their facility in full detail.
Let me take you on a journey in my experience with them in recent months, as I would like to share more about their emotional attachment to the horses, the Hunter Valley and their professionalism, dedication, success and commitment to the industry.
I declare that Jilly has looked after my broodmare and yearlings for many years and it is without hesitation that I actively promote Noogee Park Thoroughbreds.
"The ethos of the farm is partnering with broodmare owners through frank and honest feedback"
They have raised and bred champion horses with international success.
It is no surprise that many leading Asian buyers have multiple inspections of the Noogee Park roster of yearlings each year.
The progeny that graced Noogee Park have succeeded on the racetrack and auction ring with amazing sales results having yearlings selling up to $400,000, whilst the following outstanding horses were raised or bred under the care of Jilly.
She Will Reign Golden Slipper - Silver Slipper - Inglis Sprint
Beat The Clock [HK] HKJC G1 Sprint - HKJC G1 Centenary Sprint [twice] - HKJC G1 Chairmans Sprint

Jilly was proud to have cared for blue hen broodmare Courgette, where her foals She Will Reign [Golden Slipper] and Time to Reign [Silver Slipper], were both raised under the care of Jilly.
"Anyone that buys from Noogee are satisfied clients, knowing the horses are in great condition"
The first thing that strikes you is the lush green pasture and rolling hills, it's obvious why the horses thrive on this property. When you take an inspection with Jilly, you will be amazed that the property never seems to end, Jilly says they have over 300+ acres and you can clearly see the tremendous facilities in Scone being the township, racetrack, equine centre and veterinary hospital, not to mention some of the world's leading studs.
I had the pleasure of seeing in detail their large barn where they have 10-12 oversized boxes, part of their extended service to trainers and studs with agistment and spelling yards.
"Noogee Park raised horses are well educated, sound and are proven race winners"
Noogee Park Thoroughbreds are currently standing new stallion KOSTER on their property where he will serve your broodmare.
Koster is an unraced magnificent son of Snitzel, having been raised and sold by Arrowfield Stud for $700,000 in 2019 at the Inglis Yearling Sales.
