Paddock-based spelling for racehorses and broodmares within a council-approved animal establishment.

Most racehorses benefit from at least 6–8 weeks off, but it depends on their workload, soundness and temperament. We’re happy to discuss what you and your trainer are aiming for. 

No, we don’t take stallions at Oak Tree View. 

Yes. We have options for individual turnout, small herds and bigger groups depending on what your horse needs and how social they are. 

Halter and lead, rugs/fly veil (if used), feed if on a specific diet, plus any supplements/medications and written instructions. 

Light handling, catching and basic care are included. If your horse needs a set rehab program (hand walking, bandage changes etc.), please talk to us — we can customise a plan or let you know if it’s outside our scope. 

Absolutely, we’re experienced with everything from wild, one-eyed colts to rodeo horses, racehorses, breeding stock, and even a whole herd of unhandled minis (and that's just our personal horses)
And honestly… if we can handle the minis, we can handle just about anything. 

Yes! We offer spelling for broodmares in low-density paddocks with quality pasture and daily care. 

 No. Broodmare agistment at Oak Tree View is spelling only. We do not offer breeding services, foaling down, assisted foaling or neonatal care, except for personal horses by prior arrangement. 

Yes. Yearlings and young horses may be accepted for spelling, subject to temperament, handling level, and suitability for a pasture-based environment. 

 Yes. Oak Tree View operates as a Council Approved Animal Establishment, approved by the Shire of Harvey for horse agistment. Our paddock layout, pasture management and manure systems have been formally reviewed and approved as part of this process. 

 Horses are managed in low-density paddocks with rotational grazing, daily visual checks and ongoing monitoring of pasture, water and fencing. Our systems are designed to support horse welfare while protecting long-term land and pasture health. 

 Yes. Our pasture, paddock configuration and manure management systems were reviewed and approved by the Shire of Harvey as part of our development approval, and are managed in line with approved stocking limits and environmental requirements. 

 Trainer access is available by arrangement. Trainers may attend to assess or work their own horses where required, while maintaining a safe, well-managed and compliant environment. 

 Yes. We regularly accept racehorses spelling between preparations, including horses coming out of work that require a calm, paddock-based environment to let down and recover. 

 Stocking is managed within council-approved limits, with a focus on low-density paddocks, seasonal adjustments and pasture condition to ensure both horse welfare and land sustainability.
