About Milburn Creek

Milburn Creek is the life long creation of John Muir, built on a foundation of integrity, guided by ethical principles, and driven by a deep passion for the racing industry.

Through decades of dedication, careful stewardship and an unwavering commitment to excellence, John and his team have shaped Milburn Creek into the respected boutique thoroughbred Stud it is today.

At Milburn Creek we are dedicated to breeding quality racehorses in a environment defined by natural beauty, care and horsemanship. Set amongst the rolling pastures of the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, our farm combines rich grazing pasture with a calm considered approach to rearing young thoroughbreds.

From the earliest stages, every mare and foal is managed with attention to detail, ensuring optimal nutrition, handling, and development. The result is a line of horses prepared not only for the sales ring, but for long and successful racing careers.

Milburn Creek offers a boutique breeding experience. Our scale allows us to prioritise quality over quantity, ensuring that each horse receives the attention it deserves.
