Davidson Veterinary
Shane and Mattea are leaders in the field of elite sport horse breeding. Their well-established experience in competing, training and instructing means they have a clear vision on how to produce a quality horse for the discipline it is best suited for – from a young foal through to an international-level competition horse. This is achieved by focusing on producing a manageable number of horses, placing quality over quantity and by correctly training horses from the very outset.
Working at renowned German studs such as Zuchthof Klatte and Hof Sosath allowed Shane to tap into the large wealth of knowledge that only European sport horse breeders possess. His involvement in the day to day proceedings of these studs provided him with invaluable insight into the reasoning and planning behind elite sport horse breeding.
