White Star Stables is located in Cambridge New Zealand. Cambridge is renowned for its large racing community and provides an ideal location for a large racing stable like White Star Stables to flourish with access to first rate facilities and the services of internationally renowned veterinarian's, blacksmiths and chiropractors.

White Star Stables is based on the Cambridge raceway, a first class racing and training centre which consists of two tracks. An 800-metre beach sand based jog track and a 1000-metre racetrack used on race days and for fast work. The raceway care-taking staff are responsible for the maintenance of the two tracks, conditioning and resurfacing the track on a daily basis ensuring an excellent surface for the horses to work on.

White Star Stables comprises of 14 large walk-in/out stalls, 10 horse tie-up, tackroom, feed room, 13 well fenced and sheltered paddocks and large car and truck parking area. Located within 2 kilometres of the Cambridge Raceway is the Cambridge Jockey Club which provides access to an equine swimming pool and a 1600-metre deep sand track for those horses that enjoy the change of working under saddle. White Star Stables also offers an agistment service on Nicky Chilcott's spelling block - Le Meridian.

On a regular basis the team makes the short drive out to Raglan to work on a 2400-metre stretch of beach where the horses can work and then walk, in the sea. This provides a great change to the daily routine for the hoses, which they thoroughly enjoy. The beach surface is excellent for working and conditioning the horses as it tends not to jar up the legs while working them to peak fitness and gaining optimum results.
