welcome

Libby Haworth has been a thoroughbred race horse trainer for over 20 years. An excellent horsewoman, Libby runs a very professional stable, with special attention to the individual animal and trying to place her gallopers to their best advantage.

Libby commenced training privately in the Western District for Moonee Valley Committee member Noel Calvert in the early 1980's. Upon returning to the Mornington Peninsula, Libby took out a Permit to Train. A 20 acre property was purchased in Boneo (on the Mornington Peninsula) in 1998 and has been established to cater specifically for gallopers. The facilities include 16 walk in/walk out stables and yards, 15 larger paddocks for spelling, a private sand track, a round yard and close access to the beach and lovely sand trails through the national park. All fast work is carried out at Mornington.

The Boneo property "Tideways Park" achieved immediate success with multiple city winning, Group 2 placed, Rustic Mist. Other city winners included Mr Narcissus (Sandown Country Cup winner in track record time), Bundy Bear and Lady of Perfection. Many other winners have continued to follow including the unusual feat of race day doubles by the same two horses Raging Hazard and Tubbarubba Lady at different venues! Recent winner Rustic Moon carries the hope of better things to come.

Libby loves the constant challenge of training thoroughbreds, believing strongly in a hands-on approach and still enjoys riding a lot of her own trackwork.
An understanding of what it takes to compete at the top level combined with the ability to feed and condition horses, enables her to produce mentally happy, as well as physically fit horses. Libby enjoys setting horses for particular races, no matter whether it is a maiden at Stoney Creek or a Group 1 at Flemington!

New Clients are always welcome and hopefully we can help you to win races and have lots of fun doing so.
