Pepper Tree Farm has been dedicated to the horse industry since its inception in 1996, established by Rob and Julie Vandyke, the farm is conveniently located in Cowra in the Central Slopes region of New South Wales. In the 90’s and 2000’s Pepper Tree Farm was developed by Rob & Julie into one of the leading Standardbred studs in Australasia, including shuttling world class sires from USA and breeding a number of Australian 2YO and 3YO of the Year champions and multi Group 1 winners. In 2015, the stud evolved further when their daughter, Dr. Brianna Vandyke BVBio/BVSc (Hons) returned home to establish the Pepper Tree Farm Equine Clinic on the stud site and expand the breeding program to include Thoroughbred clients. Currently under the guardianship of their daughter Dr. Brianna Vandyke, the farm is embarking on a very exciting development as it evolves further into becoming a bespoke Thoroughbred breeding enterprise, offering services such as agistment, breeding & reproductive services for mares, foaling, weaning & yearling prep.
