Ahern Horses

AHERN HORSES and is owned and operated by Liam and Alison Ahern and is situated on the Ahern's family cattle property "Greystone". Liam is the 3rd generation cattle grazier to live on his family property with wife Alison and young son Kirby. Originally settled by Liam's Grandfather in the early 1930's, "Greystone" is approx 11,500 acres of beef cattle breeding and fattening country, approx 65 km west of Monto / Eidsvold on (old) Rawbelle Rd in the North Burnett region. All our cattle work is done with horses and dogs, therefore we place a very strong emphasis on breeding and training our horses for genuine cattle work and a wide variety of performance disciplines.

Using superior A.S.H and Q.H genetics from both Australia and the U.S A, we aspire to breed horses with natural cattle working ability, correct conformation with a good natured trainable mind. All of our horses must be safe & comfortable to ride for work, play and at a high level of competition. Our main focus for the future is to bred and train horses suitable to compete in the discipline of Stockman's Challenges, which gives our horses a good solid foundation in both dry work and cattle work producing good versatile horses that will go on to excel in a wide variety of horse sports for their new owners when offered for sale at 4 - 5 yrs old - fully trained, ready to go.
