Set on 120 acres of picturesque and peaceful farmland, Abderry is the perfect location for a well-deserved spell for your racehorse.

During their stay, your racehorse will be cared for by our dedicated team who are available to check on them at least twice daily to ensure they’re comfortable, and have easy access to feed and water. 

Should any problems arise, our farm is served by all of the local veterinary practices, allowing you to choose your preferred equine veterinarian. Our team also live on-site, so you can rest assured that your racehorse will receive immediate attention in an emergency.

Depending on your racehorse’s individual requirements, we can offer three choices of housing, including individual paddock, shared paddock or stabling at night.

Our fees include feeding, grooming and washing. All farrier, dental and health professional charges are separate.

The Hanley Formula

At Abderry, we stock and feed The Hanley Formula, which is a highly nutritious, palatable powder isolated from fresh New Zealand skim milk with the lactose removed for low glycaemic muscle building and muscle fibre repair.

Essential Amino Acids

Young and growing horses, pregnant and lactating mares, stallions at stud, juvenile and mature racehorses, show horses, performance horses, spelling and injured horses, and the senior horse all require a high quality protein source, rich in essential amino acids.

The Hanley Formula retains both casein and whey proteins to ensure the full range of essential amino acids at levels never previously available in an equine supplement.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, which is a vital component in a horse’s skin, hair, muscle, connective tissue, hooves, nervous tissue and skeleton, as well as blood, enzymes, hormones and milk production.
