Gave Stella a bit of TLC this arvo - she's always the hairiest of the crew in winter.

So grateful she's still with us. Even though we can't ride her, she is a fabulous mum.

Can not wait to see what she has this year.

Glamour better follow in her dads hoofsteps....

Granite...he's solid! A couple of months off and first draft back with Jason Birney, he wins, with two 90's no less!

Mungindi has proved to be quite the show for his owner John Wilson who also won the OPEN with BELLVUE DYNACON (by Hazelwood Conman).

Just looking at Granite's page, the stats since Jason grabbed the reins are quite incredible: 10 scores of 88 and above (including 3 90's), from 12 runs in 4 events. A Maiden cutout win on their 1st start, a Maiden win in their 2nd and a Novice win on his 4th!

❌ Granite's contract is now available, he will stand at Darlington Stud Greenmount. Don' forget his MULTIPLE BREEDING SPECIAL!
First 2 mares $2,200 inc GST each, all subsequent mares $1,100 inc GST each.

I wonder how many workers we would need to replace these guys!... A few that's for sure, and I bet they wouldn't be as obliging.

Our Story

G'day. We are Jamie and Mani Sturrock. We own and operate Craiglea Working Dogs and Stock Horses, a family business based near Drillham, on the Western Darling Downs of Queensland, Australia.

We breed and train quality Border Collie working dogs and performance horses for work and competition. We offer working dog pups, started working dogs and performance horses for sale. We also conduct working dog schools and lessons year round, at our place or yours.

We manage a corporate owned beef cattle operation, running 2,000 cattle across several grazing properties. We run Wagyu and Angus breeder cattle, growing our progeny out to heavy feeder weight. We also trade cattle according to the season, and run a small flock of Dorper cross sheep.

We use our working dogs and horses every day to make our living. We also enjoy competing on weekends in cattle dog trialling, sheep dog trialling, campdrafting, polocrosse, stockman's challenges and kid’s events to name a few. We have two young sons, Jack and Toby, who are very involved in our business, raising pups and riding their horses.
