Stables
Location, Location, Location
Karalee Lodge Stables were designed and purpose built by Alderson Racing on 5 acres adjacent to the Cranbourne Training Complex. It’s a short stroll for the horses to work at the Cranbourne Training Track before returning to the stable for breakfast, rest and relaxation. The complex itself is a state-of-the-art facility, widely acknowledged as the best in Victoria and possibly Australia. Offering a wide variety of surfaces to train on, with safety features such as horse entry/exit underpasses onto the track, which eliminates the need for crossings that often result in horse injuries.
The design of our complex means every horse receives individual attention and living conditions tailored to its specific needs. Having access to various accommodation and fitness training methods keeps our horses engaged and interested in their training program – happy horses produce their best.
