Welcome to Chester Farm

Situated in the beautiful Maratoto Valley, between Paeroa and Thames, Chester Farm is a professional horse breeding and training facility owned and operated by Greg Jamieson and Diana Fowler. The farm covers over 80 acres of fertile pastures featuring rolling hills, rivers and native bush. This land, combined with the mild year round climate, provides the ultimate setting for breeding, raising and training performance horses for all disciplines.

We can offer a great variety of training to horses that come to us for training - from starting young horses under saddle and giving them early ridden mileage out and about, through to general dressage flatwork, showjump training, cross-country schooling and hunter spars, all incorporating hill work, bush and river rides - this setting is ideal for producing forward, responsive, confident young horses, while also giving older horses more variety and interest from their regular work at home.

As well as cross grazing young dairy heifers on the farm, each season we also breed a small number of top quality Warmblood foals from our specially selected mares. We strive to produce athletic, attractive, scopey horses with kind, trainable minds, superior movement and talented jumping ability.
