- About Us -
Australia's best performance horses and derivatives
Elk & Sparrow is located in Portland on the South West coast of VIC, only a few hours from Melbourne and Geelongs’s CBD. The 70 acre property is bound by national park as well as a neighboring competition venue. There are some magnificent areas of our property including Illawarra Creek that runs directly through the centre. Each side of the creek has been preserved to encourage a natural pathway for vegetation and wildlife.
The stud is blessed to have very high rainfall which provides year-round green pastures. These pastures are supplemented with a balanced diet of Prydes feed, grain and hay.

Our Property
Victoria, Australia
Over a number of years Elk & Sparrow has selected the best possible bloodlines for its breeding program. All mares have been chosen to produce offspring to excel in as Grand Prix horses. Their bloodlines, temperament and trainability is always tested before entering the breeding program. Mares are either imported directly from Europe or bred in Australia from imported parents and come from very strong family lines. Many offspring are produced from our top competition mares via embryo transfer.
