Seattle Lodge is a multi-faceted equestrian facility in the heart of ‘Horse Country’ in the beautiful town of Cambridge, New Zealand. 

Seattle Lodge was established in 1985 standing thoroughbred stallions. Both Fred and Lindsay had been involved with horses for many years and competed to a high level in show jumping and to a lesser level in Eventing. In 1988 they branched out into sport horse breeding with firstly Jaguar, a Belgian warmblood stallion and then Voltaire II a Dutch warmblood stallion. They bred a number of top performing horses by both these stallions. Christine rode when she was younger and then started taking it more seriously when competing in Pony Grand Prix’s. 

After moving to Cambridge in 2004 Fred and Lindsay changed direction and got out of breeding, with Voltaire 11 being sold to the South Island. Both stallions have had a huge impact on the industry through their progeny and as broodmare sires. They still breed some Thoroughbreds and sport horses but are more focused on thoroughbred racing. They’ve had a number of very promising horses who have been sold to Hong Kong. Christine has continued to show jump and has been very successful on their home bred Varekai SL plus many others who have been sold around NZ and overseas. They are now also moving on to the next generation with the grand children riding. 

Equilibrium supplements feature heavily in Seattle Lodge’s daily routine. Being broad spectrum and universal, Equilibrium covers all the horses, the proof is in the pudding, they deliver results. Both our racehorses and show jumpers have had a tremendous couple of years, winning multiple races and Show Jumping classes throughout the country. Even the younger members of the team have been successful at ribbon days on much loved ponies who benefit greatly from Equilibrium. 

Another aspect of the business is the rehab of thoroughbreds, all of whom are supplemented with Equilibrium B1 Cool Mix or Mineral Mix, the comments made when they return to their owners are always very positive. We are consistently asked what we use, as our horses always look outstanding. We love Equilibrium because it’s safe, effective and easy to use. The horse’s coats are darker, healthier and shinier, we know what is going in and we can see the results.
