About Us
Situated in the heart of horse country, Matavia Performance Horses overlooks the Hunter River at Lochinvar in the beautiful Hunter Valley of NSW only 2 hours drive from Sydney. We are a small family run stud that have been refining our breeding for the last 10 years. Breeding and horses run in both of our families with our stud name ‘Matavia’ originating from the Thomas family farm in the 1920s. Both Adrian and Rachel are competitors as well as breeders; this enables them to understand rider’s needs when purchasing a horse.

Matavia has five Hanoverian warmblood mares and one Hanoverian Classified TB mare breeding this season to fully licensed and performance tested Hanoverian Stallions. All of our broodmares are classified with the Hanoverian Horse Society and have been bred or selected for their ability to produce progeny that are elegant, yet have outstanding temperaments and athletic movement.
Stallions used in
previous seasons or being bred this season are Rotspon, De Niro, Worldly, Ferrero Rocher,
Champion FP, Lauries As, Gymnastik Star, Fishermans Friend and River Dance.
Matavia Performance Horse's foals are extensively handled with their mothers and after weaning are conditioned to living within the herd so as to learn to be 'horses' first. They are taught to lead, float, tie up and have their feet trimmed before they are yearlings ensuring a happy relationships with new owners.
Matavia Performance Horses breed for the Olympic disciplines of Dressage, Jumping and Eventing. Our young mares are Classified and Performance Tested with the Hanoverian Horse Society of Australia, ensuring they are put to a similar testing schedule as their mates.
Adrian, Rachel and the boys, are on an adventure in WA at the moment. Until they return, all Matavia horses are being managed by a stud in Qld. Otherwise, all breeding and performance of horses will continue as normal with Adrian and Rachel still making all stud decisions and breeding plans. Contact Rachel for more information (se contact us page). All horses are available for viewing in Qld.
