and other parameters, such as customised care, food and health needs that you may require. We then develop a plan with you, selecting from various options from stabling, rugging, exercising, vet, farrier visits as well as specifically designed feed combinations. If you are unable to care for your horse for an extended period of time or require your horses to be on agistment for a designated period, Alma Vale Farms takes pride in being a premium choice for you.
Sale and Show Prep
Here at Alma Vale we also offer Sale and Show prep for all the major sales and shows. This can be a time consuming task and if not planned and carried out adequately before sale or show time, it may mean your horses are not in the best condition or ready for the big day. We can create the optimum diet for your horse in the weeks leading up to the show / sale, ensuring the optimum health of your horse, which in turn always shows on the outside and features a beautifully presented healthy glowing horse. As show day approaches we can assist with all the particulars such as clipping, shampooing and grooming, ensuring the mane and tail and all other important features of the horse are beautifully presented. Please contact the team here at Alma Vale Farms as we are happy to devise the best show / sale preparation plans for your horses.

Vet Care
We have access to one of the best Equine vets in the country here at Alma Vale( Equivet Aust) is only a 15 min drive from here and our resident vet Leanna Polsen is on call 24 hours a day. Leanne is an amazing vet in all aspects when it comes to horses and we are so very lucky to have her on board. It is only a short drive to and from the clinic for the collection of semen or any other veterinary needs. We have all the facilities here in our vet shed to make the breeding season run smoothly without too much fuss.
Future Development
Colts play in safe paddocks
We have some big plans underway for the very near future, the major one will be the construction of a 40 m X 20 m covered sand arena where we can hold clinics or clients can just enjoy a good ride. We also plan to build an amenities block for those wishing to stay with their horses in transit. The grounds of Alma Vale are just beautiful with large grassy areas and lots of trees to just sit and enjoy the horses.
We are centrally located just off the New England Highway between Toowoomba and Warwick and not far from Gatton. Toowoomba hosts a large variety of horse events including the NCHA Futurity and Warwick with The Gold Cup Campdraft not to mention all the AQHA and PHAA shows held in Gatton. We will also be holding cattle working day’ s with highly experience instructors and adult riding clinics will be available. The possibilities are endless here at Alma Vale and we hope to cover all equine disciplines.
