Segenhoe was settled in 1816 – just 28 years after the first fleet arrived in Sydney. The original 20,000 acre property included the land on which the stud is now located. Thoroughbreds have been reared on Segenhoe since the mid 19th century.

Michael Sissian assumed control of Segenhoe in 1989. The Stud has produced 16 individual Group One winners under Michael’s direction, including the winners of most feature races on the Australian calendar. See honour roll.

IN 1998, Michael moved the stud to its present location on the Hunter River at Scone. The “new” Segenhoe Stud is a specialised broodmare farm, which was purpose built from the ground up on virgin horse land. The stud enjoys 5kms of Hunter River frontage. It’s topography, soil, pastures and improvements are ideally suited to breeding and rearing thoroughbred horses. Indeed, from small numbers, the “new” Segenhoe has already produced horses of the calibre of Grand Armee, Virage De Fortune, Bradbury’s Luck, Murtajill, Maybe Better, El Pauji, Absolutelyfabulous, Ready As, Sunset Run, Russian Caravan, Regrowth, Dubai Ice, Unzipped and Red Robert.

Segenhoe is also making significant contributions to the thoroughbred gene pool. For example we bred the dams of the 1st, 2nd and 4th placegetters in the 2007 Golden Slipper.
