The Bromac Story - Bromac Lodge

Although the late Bob McArdle and his wife Denese McArdle have used the Bromac name since 1973, it was not until 2002, when they decided to relinquish their foundation shareholding in Nevele R Stud, that they considered the possibility of escalating the Bromac Brand into a commercial broodmare operation.

Montini Bromac, a Bromac star of the 70’s was a son of Timely Knight and one of the horses whose success promoted Nevele R's rise to fame.

Since then several  Bromacs have gone on to shine such as Cruz Bromac winner of 2019 New  Zealand Cup and 2018 New Zealand Free For All,  Attorney General  (1.48.4), Ulrica Bromac 1.49.6, the  fastest male and females bred in New Zealand at that point; Howard  Bromac, Auckland Cup  and NZ Free For All Winner,  Tanabi Bromac,  Victorian Derby Winner; Swapzee Bromac, Australian Pacing Championship winner,  Selby Bromac, South Australian Cup Winner and Yvette Bromac won one of the first  finals of the DB Fillies.

In 2004 daughter Lisa Fabri joined the family business taking over the administration role of Bromac Lodge. Daughter in law Marianne set up the initial website and designed the logo.

 Bob's desire to set up Bromac Lodge was based on a long held dream and his enduring passion for Bloodstock that he held for the vast majority of his life. A life, that truly was lived to the fullest.
