Michael has worked within the bloodstock industry his entire life, much of which was spent at the Wallace family’s property Ardsley Stud in Masterton, New Zealand. 

Developed in 1971, by renowned veterinary practitioner Jim Wallace Snr, Ardsley has produced many topline gallopers including Balmuse, Cent Home, Kip, Bureaucracy, Royal Magic, Lord Tridan, Ballet Society, Studebaker, Acushla Marie, and stallions including Roi Lear and Lord Ballina. It was in Michael’s early days, working with his Grandfather and Father, that his understanding of horses was developed.

After a four year period gaining a Bachelor of Commerce Degree, majoring in Finance and Management from the University of Otago, Michael made the choice to follow his desire and develop a full time profession within the industry.

After recieving an International Thoroughbred Management Scholarship, Michael was employed by three of the world's best farms, in Coolmore Ireland, Darley Newmarket and Vinery Kentucky.

Upon returning to NZ, Michael Wallace Bloodstock was set up as an Independant Bloodstock Agency. We are proud of our successful record so far having brought and sold many top horses including Perfectly Ready, Italia, Towkay, Joy and Fun, Danger Looms and the next star in Kildonan.

Michael now resides in Cambridge, he breeds one or two foals per year, and enjoys a small percentage ownership in racehorses. He is a member of the NZ Bloodstock Agents Federation, and on the council of the Waikato Thoroughbred Breeders Association.

Michael Wallace Bloodstock aims to bring honesty, energy, enjoyment and success to both its clients, and the company. We look forward to meeting with you.
