There is not a day goes by where I don’t feel the history, energy and utter beauty that the Widden Valley provides.

Almost 150 years of perfecting what we do is on show every day, with every horse born, with every yearling raised we never stop looking to improve and innovate - a tradition that has been handed down from 6 generations before me.

The 2015/2016 racing season has brought more outstanding results for Widden and our clients with Sebring and Stratum enjoying the Group I success we have come to expect and Vanbrugh the latest Group I star to carry our famous brand to victory.

Waiting in the wings to carry our success forward is Fastent Rock’s most dominant Group 1 winner Your Song, whose first runners appear this spring and Champion 3yo’s Zoustar and Shamus Award, who will have their first yearlings sell in 2017 - Both exciting young stallions represent enormous opportunity in their third season this year.

Star Witness and Nicconi are poised to build on their burgeoning early success, while our newcomer Outreach is an affordably priced blueblood that will appeal to the budget conscious breeder looking for potential upside.

We believe our 2016 roster gives breeders their best opportunity to achieve the ultimate goal of producing Black Type performers and yearlings suitable for the very best Australasian yearling sales in 2019.

We welcome your enquiry and believe we can help you make the best choices for your bloodstock portfolio, whether that involves mating plans, sales advice, sourcing of new stock or just making sure your mares and foals receive the considerable advantages of a Widden start to life.

Wishing you all the best for a successful season,

Antony & Katie Thompson

Welcome to Widden Valley

They say ‘a picture paints a thousand words’ … how true it is!

Few thoroughbreds in the world are raised in such idyllic, pristine horse country as the Widden Valley and racetrack results reflect the benefit of an upbringing as nature intended.

What better start in life could one wish for when breeding their next champion.

A Thoroughbred Nursery like no other...

In 1867, 23 year old John Thompson the 2nd, grand-son of John Thompson Snr who had brought his family to Australia 35 years earlier, had moved the family interests away from sheep to horses. With such huge demands for saddle breeds, Widden very quickly became known for the quality of stock horses they produced in the Valley. These carried the brand JT2 and it is this brand that has become recognised the world over since 1872 when the family first began breeding thoroughbreds.

Our brand has been carried by champions past and present, with current and future stars all adding their chapter to the unfolding story of success written by Widden Stud and the early Thompson pioneers almost 150 years ago.

The ‘Brand’

Last season - an amazing 10% of Group I races run in Australia were won by horses born and raised at Widden.

We pride our self on ensuring every foal born on the farm is given the grounding and foundation to compete at the highest level - you never know when you are raising the next champion!

In the last 18 months we’ve seen the likes of Australian Horse of the Year DISSIDENT, Group I winners BONARIA, THUNDER FANTASY, SHAMAL WIND, STRATUM STAR, HUCKLEBUCK, VANBRUGH, Group winning 3YO’s HATTORI HANZO & CATCH A FIRE, Group I performers LIZARD ISLAND and FAST N ROCKING, Group performing 2yo’s this autumn SEABURGE, STAR TURN and CONCEALER - they’re all not simply a coincidence, they’ve been brought up in the Widden system.

We’ve worked hard on establishing a reputation of excel-lence, a brand that is respected across the globe.
