Our Story
Owned by Steve and Chelsea Dickson, Melfield Estate was established from a shared passion for harness racing and a vision to breed horses capable of competing at the highest level across Australia and New Zealand.
Every mare, every mating and every young horse is selected and raised with one goal in mind — to give owners, trainers and buyers the best possible opportunity for success.
From conception through to the sales ring and racetrack, every horse raised at Melfield Estate benefits from experienced horsemanship, quality nutrition, outstanding pasture and individual attention.
Captain Ahab
The future of Melfield Estate is only just beginning.
With an expanding breeding program, talented young racehorses, and the exciting addition of Captain Ahab to the stallion roster, Steve and Chelsea are building a breeding operation focused on producing the next generation of champions for Australian harness racing.
