Farm
 |
Kia-Ora Stud is something of a far cry from the facilities that made the farm's original reputation. The irrigation system has been totally upgraded so that now more than 500 acres can be irrigated to ensure top-class pastures year round.
The Segenhoe Valley is renowned for producing thoroughbreds and the Kia-Ora acres have, for over 80 years, produced some of the best.
With frontage to the Pages River and its supply of fresh, limestone-sourced water plus the abundant wells on the property, it is now possible to produce excellent paddock feed whatever the season. |

Lush Pastures
The deep alluvial soils contain most of the essential nutrients for optimum growth and condition in young thoroughbreds and the nutrition levels essential for healthy broodmares.
A program of pasture development implemented under the new ownership has optimised the potential of this outstanding horse property.
Situated at an altitude that provides cooler temperatures than the coast and yet mild winters, in an area proven for horse breeding for well over a century, Kia-Ora provides the ideal situation for breeding and rearing thoroughbred horses. |

Fertile river flats
In Kia-Ora's first promotion by the new owners of yearlings reared at the stud and sold through the 2003 Inglis Easter Sales, it made the list of the top 10 vendors with a total clearance of the 16 youngsters offered. This has continued through the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 Inglis Easter Sales with Kia-Ora making the top 10 vendors list each year.
