Fittocks Stud

General information

Having worked the world over, Matt has decided to draw upon this cumulative experience and launch his own independent operation from his top-class facility in Australia.

Taking his cue from an increasing trend shift to rural training, Matt has established this enterprise at one of Australia’s premier training destinations - Ballarat, Victoria.

Just over an hour from the Melbourne CBD and proximate to an array of country race-tracks, the facilities on offer at this booming training centre/racecourse gives Matt the opportunity to employ a broader repertoire of training techniques and exercises that make full use of, for example, the 1400m uphill all-weather gallop.

The rural context also means a training environment free of the stresses and disruptions that tend to afflict horses based out of metro stables. By keeping horses in a more natural habitat, Matt safeguards the total wellbeing of the horses thus enabling a more focused and effective training regime.
