No Horse Stud for the Sheik ... sickened by the ravaged landscape of the coalfields.

 British thoroughbred breeder David Redvers is looking to establish a new stud in the Southern Hemisphere for Qatari Sheik Fahad Al-Thani.  The Hunter Valley was on the definite short list.

He flew over the Hunter region last week and after witnessing the shocking site of the Hunter Vally coalfields, Mr Redvers changed his plans with a complete about face ,he said he'll now be looking to establish the stud in either New Zealand or Victoria.

Redver's doesn't believe  mining and agriculture is an example of co-existence, he was horrified to see the close proximity of these industries to each other.

David Redvers said:
"Firstly, I was surprised by just how green it was and that turned to shock and sadness at seeing just how huge the scale of destruction is there of what is prime country."
