Alma Vale is a premier horse
spelling and agistment property
based at Greenmount on the
Darling Downs region of South
East Queensland, hosting stallions
at stud, broodmares and foals and
horses from around the country.
Whether it is for short or long term,
we are even offering an overnight
stay for those people who are in
transit and may be looking for
somewhere to pull up for the night,
knowing their horse or horses are
safely tucked away in a nice safe
stable for the night.
Alma Vale Farms is now owned
by the Golchert family, Kevin
and Helen, daughters Katie and
Breanna and her family who have
taken on this exciting venture.
Breanna is invaluable in the
everyday running of the farm.
Originally from a large cattle
property near Mundubbera in
the North Burnett where we ran
approx. 1500 breeders + progeny,
all our mustering was done on
horseback. The horses were such
an important part of successfully
running a large property.
We have also been breeding
Paints and Quarter Horses for 10
years now under the stud name
of “Munbooree Paints” where we
have bred many National and
State Champion Halter Horses.
Our resident sire “Our Incredible
Story”, is a National and State
Grand Champion himself and
is standing to the public for the
first time this year now that we
are much more accessible due to
our location. Horses have always
been an important part of the
Golchert family livelihood, with
the entire family developing a
keen understanding of how valued
and significant horses are within
people’s lives.
Recently we have had a new
member join us here at the farm.
Chrissy Collins has years of
experience in the horse industry
best know as the founder of Taylor
Made Quarter Horses 15 years
earlier. Chrissy recently left her
job at Umavale, where she has been
working in conjunction with Dr
Jim Roger and his veterinary team
at Jerry’s Plains. It was here she
managed the day to day running of
the thoroughbred stud to come here
to be a valued member of the Alma
Vale team.
Alma Vale Farms, established
nearly 100 years ago, is a premier
equine property with first class
facilities, carefully constructed and
custom designed for your complete
equine care.
Alma Vale has a long history of
being involved in the thoroughbred
industry, breeding and owning
