About Us

The Hodges family has been serving the thoroughbred industry for almost 25 years.

Nick and Ben Hodges reside at the main property, Riversdale Farm, located 3 kms North of Scone on the New England Highway. The property consists of 113 hectares of irrigation flats, where breeding operations such as foaling mares, walking mares on to stallions, weaning, yearling and sales preparation, plus routine veterinary examinations, take place.

Peter and Alison Hodges reside at a secondary property, Glenoak, consisting of 100 hectares of hills and creek flats located about 15 minutes north of Riversdale. They presently look after stock that does not require routine veterinary examination, such as pregnant and dry mares, and have development plans that include the care of youunger horses.

Riversdale attends each year’s Magic Millions, Inglis’ Classic Yealing Sale and Inglis’ Easter Sales – as well as other sales - under the Southern Cross Breeders draft.
