After several decades living his passion for being outdoors, farming and working in the thoroughbred industry, Neale has achieved his goal of owning his own farm. Neale, who was originally from Victoria, his wife, Jennifer and their children Liam, Alana and Talia, have now come to call Berkeley Park Stud home. Gaining experience on farms such as Widden, Heytestbury and Kia Ora has allowed Neale to not only achieve his goal but provide Berkeley Park Stud and its clients with the necessary knowledge that is required to efficiently run an agistment farm.
With his dry sense of humour and stress-free attitude, the ‘silent achiever' gets the job done in a relaxed fashion and is admired by all who work with him.
