This includes different breeds from riding ponies at competition fitness to underweight draught horses. When a horse comes onto our property, we will provide full care and maintain all aspects of feeding. With regular Equine Nutrition Workshops hosted annually at Avoca Park, Leanne Williams is an excellent judge of the best feed for your horse.

The average horse at Avoca Park costs $49 to feed each week on our standard feed. The price is variable depending on feed prices and your horse’s individual needs. You are welcome to view a copy of our feed analysis document at any time while your horse is at Avoca Park to explain our “Feed Fee”.

*All prices listed above do not include our “Feed Fee”. Avoca Park uses our Feed Analysis Calculator to calculate the exact cost of feeding each horse on site. We do not charge any more than our cost price.

This facility has exceeded all my expectations. My horse is always well-fed, with 2 meals and haybags daily, and the paddocks are rotated regularly to ensure the grass is fresh. The range of training facilities, including the round yard, indoor arena, and cross-country course, is incredible. The staff are attentive, and the 24-hour supervision makes me feel confident that my horse is safe and well cared for at all times. The constant upkeep of the property, from fence repairs to waterer cleaning, shows the level of dedication to providing the best possible environment for horses.

This facility has it all! From the huge indoor arena to the well-kept outdoor arenas and the riding track, the facilities here are perfect for any horse owner. The paddocks are rotated regularly to ensure healthy grazing, and the care my horse receives is fantastic. The horses are fed twice a day, plus hay, which has kept mine looking in great condition. I also appreciate the fact that the fences are always repaired, the waterers cleaned, and the paddocks are maintained meticulously. The 24-hour supervision is also a huge plus!

We’ve been using this agistment service for a while now, and I’ve been extremely happy with the facilities and care provided. My horse is thriving in the spacious paddocks and loves the large, well-maintained arenas. The outdoor arena and round yard offer great training opportunities, and I’m especially grateful for the access to the obstacle course and cross-country course—it’s perfect for building my horse’s confidence. The horses are well-fed, with 2 meals a day and haybags, and the paddocks are consistently rotated, sprayed, and kept in excellent condition. I also really appreciate the supervision and the presence of Equestrian Australia teachers.
