Windsor Park Stud is a New Zealand thoroughbred stud farm that was established in 1998. The facility is located on Kampala Road on the south side of Waikato River on the west side of Cambridge, in the Waikato region of the North Island.
Windsor Park was established by Ian and Jesse Duncan. In 1971, it passed ownership to Nelson and Sue Schick and their son Rodney. The operation now occupies around 1,300 acres across three sites.
Windsor Park Stud has sponsored the Windsor Park Plate one of the Hawkes Bay triple crown races held in September.
