Ron Gilbert

Property developer Ron Gilbert’s passion for thoroughbreds led to the establishment of boutique Highgrove Stud on the Darling Downs in Queensland, a region widely revered as prime thoroughbred country.

In a short space of time, Highgrove has rapidly established itself among the nation’s leading yearling consignors, and Ron prides himself on a select band of elite broodmares, focusing on breeding to sell. Highgrove has been responsible for producing stakes winning horses such as Summer Passage, Wanted and Thronum.

Ron sits on both Thoroughbred Breeders Australia and Aushorse Marketing boards.
