National Stud Farm
"
From its humble beginnings as an experimental farm, it has steadily attained recognition as a successful breeding centre in the region where quality thoroughbreds have been bred for more than two decades."
The National Stud Farm was the brainchild of Malaysia's first Prime Minister, the late Tunku Abdul Rahman. Dated back in 1969, the project was implemented upon the recommendation of a joint committee comprising representatives from Lembaga Totalistator Malaysia (LTM), the Agriculture Department and the Veterinary Services Department. Its aim was to conduct studies and the viability of setting up stud farms to breed local thoroughbred horses.
The National Stud Farm is set in 120 acres of rolling pastoral land with some of the best equine facilities for breeding thoroughbreds in the tropics. From its humble beginnings as an experimental farm, it has steadily attained recognition as a successful breeding centre in the region where quality thoroughbreds have been bred for more than two decades.
