Where New Lives Begin

The future potential of any animal starts from the day they are born. At Cannon Hayes we understand the importance of those early minutes, hours, day for a newborn foal and the challenges that may arise. We therefore provide:

Secure foaling yards and dedicated mare stables, centrally located by the main homestead
24-hour supervision for peace of mind
Staff attendance and intervention (where required) for every birth
On-site veterinarian care to handle emergencies or any complications. We work closely with Scone Equine Veterinary Hospital for ambulatory and emergency cases.

Our goal is to ensure every foal's safe arrival and smooth transition to the world.
