## Summary Airlie Stud is a family-owned stud farm run by the Rogers Family. The website describes a setup focused on mare boarding and young-horse sales preparation, supported by on-site veterinary and pasture management and a laboratory facility. Recent review signals are mixed and, in some cases, not actually about the stud: one reviewer states their rating relates only to a nearby obelisk/monument rather than Airlie Stud, while another review claims the place is closed and “left to decay.” ## Services - **Boarding mares** (website) - **Sales and yearling preparation** (website) - **Veterinary and pasture management** (website) - **Laboratory** facility listed on-site (website) ## People - **Rogers Family** (owners) (website) - **Sonia Rogers** (manager) (website) - **Anthony** (Sonia Rogers’ son; involved in management) (website) - Founded by the late **Captain A.D.D.
