It is Aushorse’s role to promote the Australian thoroughbred industry to a global audience and we do so via extensive marketing campaigns throughout Europe, Great Britain & Ireland, North America, Asia, the Middle East and South Africa.
Aside from promotions in print, TV, radio and social media, Aushorse also produces publications such as the Investor’s Guide and an annual magazine. Its staff travel around the world building relationships and encouraging investors to get involved Down Under and Aushorse also runs an internship program with the staff of leading Chinese buyers that has cemented Australia’s position as the leading exporter to China.
Domestically, Aushorse promotes the many attributes of breeding and racing through extensive advertising in ANZ Bloodstock News and TDN Australia/NZ, while Aushorse has also developed an educational website for those interested in becoming involved in the industry. Aushorse also conducts ‘Masterclasses’, trackwork breakfasts, sales tours (including marquees at major sales) and the popular ‘Stablemates’ program which seeks to match up potential owners with trainers.
Aushorse also works closely with other industry stakeholders on a number of joint marketing initiatives. Recent examples include the production of a brochure to showcase the 2020 Tasmanian Yearling sale and Thoroughbred Racing South Australia’s ‘Dare To Dream’ promotion, which gave 25 lucky winners that chance to become racehorse owners.
The Investors’ Guide
This campaign was used to highlight the strengths of the Australian thoroughbred industry internationally.

Read Bio
Mill Park Stud is located in the upper south east of South Australia, close to the world renowned Coorong National Park.

Their low stocking rate of 1 horse per 8-10 acres enables a natural free range upbringing which they believe is part of the successful raising of competitive racehorses.
Apart from their breeding operation the Watson’s also spell racehorses for some of the leading South Australian trainers. The family also owns a 300 acre irrigated lucerne property in Meningie which allows the supply of consistently high quality fodder to the farm.
