Seattle Lodge was established in 1986 and was located in Pahiatua. In the beginning we stood thoroughbred stallions but in 1989 we purchased Jaguar from Australia. Jaguar- a Belgian Warmblood proved extremely popular with breeders all over New Zealand, and Seattle Lodge moved into Sporthorse Breeding. This was the start of A.I and transported semen. Jaguar was very successful and left a number of top competition horses.

In 1994 after a trip to Holland we purchased the Dutch Warmblood stallion Voltaire II along with selected shareholders. In 2002 Seattle Lodge relocated to Bulls and after 2 yrs of being situated there we moved to our present location, Cambridge.

Seattle Lodge is nestled amongst some of New Zealand's most prestigious thoroughbred studs, and the Waikato is certainly the hub of the horse world in New Zealand.

Seattle Lodge is well set up for horses with a sand track, a large sand arena, lunging yard, stables and yards. We also offer breaking in, pre- training and schooling of thoroughbreds, sporthorses and ponies.

Voltaire II has been relocated to the South Island, he is now standing at Astek Stud in Canterbury. He will be truely missed by us as Seattle Lodge, as we had him for 13 years.
