Breeders in New South Wales will be shocked to hear that Pepper Tree Farm is downsizing and won’t be standing a stallion going forward.
They have joined in a partnership with Alabar for the stud future of their three world class young sires – Sportswriter, Rock N Roll Heaven and Roll With Joe.
After some 20 years of standing stallions the Vandyke’s have decided to down size.They recently sold one of its properties as part of the planned stud reduction but will continue to operate as a smaller, boutique Standardbred stud farm with permanent resident mares.
Alabar by gaining these three super stallions will bolster their roster this coming season.
