Kooringal Stud is owned and managed by Stuart and Penny Lamont and their children — Angus, James, Richard and Georgie. The fourth generation of Lamonts is now involved in Kooringal and having a very positive impact, with Angus and Richard now assisting in the day-to-day running of the farm..

Stuart continues his ‘hands-on’ management, overseeing and working closely with all facets of the breeding and rearing of horses at Kooringal Stud. He also enjoys a high-profile in the enthusiastic racing region of the Riverina, being the long serving President of Murrumbidgee Turf Club.

Dedication and communication is vital and we believe we have a unique working relationship at Kooringal. We welcome you to visit by arrangement.
