There is a strong sense of heritage at Hillview (Zambuana Lodge) Parkesbourne. The land and now its sense of history and belonging have been cultivated and cherished by the present owners,

Greg and Rowhin. 

Over the last 3 years because of changing family commitments and the move from Mittagong, in the Southern Highlands to Parkesbourne, in the Southern Tablelands, has allowed us to re define and redevelop the property, ideally suited to grazing privately owned horses. Currently over 7 horses, and room for more are cared for with their owners taking full advantage of the purpose built facilities.  

There is obviously a need within the area that Zambuana Lodge meet. Greg and Rowhin bring the right skills to this part of their business from full board or do it yourself agistment with individual yards or large shared paddocks. 

Greg has spent his whole life around horses, coming from a trotting family, he become involved in pony club from the age of 6 and from there moving onto dressage and three-day eventing and later performing at El Caballo Blanco, Spanish performance horses at Catherine Fields, Sydney.  

In year 2000, we opened Zambuana Lodge, Training and Agistment Centre at Luddenham where we agisted up to 65 horses from paddock, yard and full stable agistment. This is where Greg perused his passion and used his 42 years of experience with client training and educating with a few very successful clients, one been Jonathan Paget, who now rides in the New Zealand Equestrian Olympic team. 

Rowhin has the other essential role of the business management including accounts, invoicing and coordinating bookings of facilities and generally keeping things running smoothly. Both are approachable and helpful and want to see this business enhancing the horse owning experience for as many people as possible.  

Zambuana Lodge is supervised 24 hours, 7 days a week. Horses are checked daily and we have local vet services on call. Farrier services also come on a regular basis.
