Clydesdale Horses
Welcome to Shiralee Clydesdales

Early in morning, all is calm - you can hear a distant whinny, or gentle blow of the nostrils - but come feed time, it's the thundering of hooves and neighing of 'good morning' when the feed buckets are being collected!!

Every day we experience our dream life - of watching, playing with and teaching our clydesdale horses (until we have to go to work).  This is truely our hearts desire - except maybe a little rain wouldn't go astray every now and then either.

From humble beginnings in 1993, our passion for the heavy horses was starting to become a reality.

Today, amongst the bull dust and heat we, Nick and Lynda Matschoss along with our four children Alex, Bethany, Paul & John, spend as much time as we can with our beloved clydesdales. Finally, over the past three years, with a lot of blood sweat and tears, we have started to pull together our dream clydesdale heard.

 

Our Field of Dreams

Our horses are kept in a very horse-friendly way, always in suitably sized groups. The paddocks are well arranged and have ample tree shade to provide shelter from the elements in winter and summer. The stallions each have their own paddocks adjacent to their stables.  

Sounds nice hey?  Well that is exactly how we want it - our dream pasture. Presently the stables have taken near 4 years to get to the their current stage of development, the front paddocks are turning to bull dust and even though we have a good standing of grass in the back paddocks - it is all starting to dry off. 

We are determined to make our dreams our reality.!

Our Bloodlines
We have specificately tried to source brood mares that are descended from the old lines, and introduce the more recently introduced imported lines with our stallions.

Our Vision
It's all about CHOICE.  
 
When we started, we believe we were the first to bring the clydesdale to Central Queensland.  We found it very expensive to import stallions and mares from not only the SE corner of Qld but also NSW and Vic. 
Our aim to provide fellow enthusiasts, a choice of quality horses to purchase or stallions to join their mares to, and without all the hassle and expense we constantly found ourselves with.
We currently offer a choice of 2 Stallions to bring mares too.  Our sires are not only chosen or bred for their conformation and temperament, but also their bloodlines.  This ensures new genetics are constantly being introduced to our line.

We have been providing quality pure bred and cross bred clydesdales to Enthusiasts, Clydesdale Breeders, Cattle Stations and Warmblood Studs since 1993.
