Honouring the Past, Embracing the Future

Far End Pre-Training has long been a trusted name in pre-training racehorses and nurturing young talent for success on the track. Founded by the late Jane Thomas, whose vast expertise and true dedication set the highest standards, the stables remain committed to the same principles under new leadership.

Having been mentored and meticulously trained by Jane, Philile Zuma now takes the reins, ensuring every horse receives the care, preparation, and foundation needed for a bright racing future. Supporting Philile is a long-standing and talented team of permanent staff, some with up to 30 years of thoroughbred experience.

With the same passion and dedication, Far End Pre-Training carries forward Jane's legacy while embracing the next chapter with commitment and excellence.

We have had horses from Farend Pretraining for many years. We have found Farend to be of a high standard of professionalism. Philile Zuma has been trained under the guidance of Jane Thomas and in our opinion has risen to all expectations. We think she could only have learnt a lot from dear Jane. Our horses always come in well schooled and ready for their training.
