Our Story.

Located in the picturesque Canungra valley on the edge of the Scenic Rim, just 40 minutes from the Gold Coast Turf Club and an hour from Eagle Farm and Doomben, Fenwick Farm provides bespoke thoroughbred breaking and pretraining programmes utilising state-of-the-art facilities tailored specifically to each horse’s individual needs.  Our breaking and pretraining programmes place great emphasis not only on the health and fitness of your horse, but also on their mind and attitude to ensure your horse embraces life in racing stables and flourishes throughout their career.

Fenwick Farm was established in 2019 and whilst some faces have changed in our short history, our ethos of ‘take the time it takes’ has remained true to the legacy of founding partner and master horseman Greg Bennett.  Our awesomely talented team of breakers and educators are fortunate to be beneficiaries of years of experience and wisdom imparted by Greg – the original ‘horse whisperer’ – who in turn continue to deliver an unrivalled quality of training in keeping with ‘The Greg Bennett Way’.  Fenwick Farm’s reputation to this day continues to be synonymous with the highest calibre of juvenile racing graduates that are ready to take on the rigours and pressures of life in a racing stable, in turn rewarding our valued clients the opportunity to enjoy the thrill that racehorse ownership offers.

 Founding owners Amanda and Peter Lowry continue to operate Fenwick Farm in partnership with Greg’s protégé and successor, Scott Brennan.  The son of racehorse trainer Peter Brennan, Scott has earned his stripes in the stables of John Hawkes, Peter Moody, Kelso Wood, Rick Hore-Lacy and John Size prior to becoming Greg Bennett’s understudy for more than 5 years.  Together, Amanda, Peter and Scott form a formidable team boasting decades of experience in their respective professional fields of proven horsemanship and savvy business management.  Temper this with a shared ‘family values’ culture that attracts to Fenwick Farm some of the best equine breakers, riders and handlers that are committed to providing our horses with the highest quality of care and attention and you have a winning combination of talent focused on creating the turf champions of the future.

Fenwick Farm pride ourselves on our engagement with our valued clients and training partners throughout the yearling education process.  A particular thrill for first time owners, Fenwick Farm’s full time photographer documents every milestone of each horse’s progress throughout their education, thereby also educating horse owners in the complexities of creating a racehorse.  Additionally, our trainers remain fully informed about the performance and achievements of each horse receiving written reports on a regular basis in order to plan for their new charges to eventually take their place in their respective racing stables.  To our knowledge, this customer experience is a unique offering within the industry and is a mark of respect for the people who make our great industry even possible – racehorse owners. 

Despite Fenwick Farm being boutique in terms of the number of young horses passing through our gates each season, our honour roll speaks for itself with year after year of exciting 2 year olds impressing at the track including

SHAQUERO – Trained by Chris Waller and winner of the 2020 Group 3 Breeder’s Plate and going on to take out the 2021 Magic Millions 2yo Classic

Each year the new sales season brings with it promise, anticipation and excitement for the potential emergence of a crop of new champions walking through the sales ring for breeders, bloodstock agents, trainers, owners and racing participants alike.  Nothing makes us prouder or gives us greater joy and satisfaction than to see our valued clients reap the benefits that the purchase of a yearling that becomes a winning racehorse brings. Give your next purchase the very best start to their racing career and every chance at success – give them a Fenwick Farm breaking in and racing education.
