Xcellence at Sefton (imp AUS)
Sire: Rathowen XL (dec) Dam: Great Expectations of Sefton
14.2hh, Chestnut Riding Pony/TB cross
Registered New Zealand Riding Pony Breeders Society
Xcellence at Sefton was campaigned for us in Australia by Sefton Riding Ponies before being imported. She was shown at the prestigious Victorian Riding Pony Foal Show for 2nd in her filly class. She achieved very high scores for both confirmation and movement.
She has been purchased to add some height to our breeding program, and to be either a top 'A' ring prospect in the future. She is sister to Aspirations of Sefton, a young stallion who has been successfully shown in-hand to receive many royal accolades. These include Champion Ridden Part Welsh at Melbourne Summer Royal in 2007 and Supreme Led Part Welsh in 2008. He is a beautiful colt so we are thrilled to purchase his sister. Her sire Rathowen XL, has a very extensive and impressive show record winning counctless royal champions including Grand Champion exhibit at the 2006 Riding Pony Classics. However, he not only boasts the attributes required for a top show pony but his temperament and trainability are second to none. XL is highly educated capable of Advance dressage movements. We hope he passed these attributes onto his daughter.
Xcellence was broken in over the winter 2008, but sadly a paddock injury will see her retire to the broodmare paddock.
Confirmed in foal to Mirinda Hand Painted (imp AUS)

To mature 14hh, Bay Filly
Registered New Zealand Pony Breeders and Riding Pony Society
Bought for her impeccable breeding, she is a elegant filly that shows all the signs of being a future top saddle pony before joining the broodmare paddock.
'Lilly' is sired by Kolbeach Studs stallion Fernleigh Fine Print. Her dam Sufton Wild Rose (imp UK) is one of Australia's most beautiful and successful imports and needs no introduction. Sufton Wild Rose is also a successful broodmare. Her daughter Blaircourt Crystal Rose was imported from the UK by Falconhurst Stud in Australia and she too became a multi champion. Her other Australian daughters include LJS Twilight Rose and Kolbeach Garland (Supreme Youngstock at the Riding Pony Show SA) . More recently maternal brother Penmain Heir Apparent has had continued the families winning ways. We are very fortunate to own a filly from this superb family.
Lilly was shown very successfully inhand in her debut season in New Zealand. This culminated in her being sashed Reserve Champion In Hand Pony of the Year and Runner Up Registered Riding Pony of the Year (open to both registered adult and youngstock) at Horse of the Year in 2008.
Update: Confirmed in foal to Kilvington Scoundrel (UK) for a 2010/2011 foal.

13.2hh, Black Riding Pony Mare
Registered New Zealand Pony Breeders and Riding Pony Society
Her sire Highgrove Showstopper (imp AUS) is by super sire Kirreway Ambition and so far has only sired few offspring in New Zealand. Her half brother (Royal Park Show Off) was very successfully shown by us in 2006 to win the yearling class at Horse of the Year, so when the opportunity became available to purchase his sister we were thrilled. She is a beautiful mare with the most amazing disposition and the favourite at home.
She was campaigned lighlty undersaddle in 2007/2008 as a Novice and in the First Ridden ring with placings at both the Nationals and Horse of the Year. She was also shown once inhand to win the Supreme Led Award at the East Coast Pony Breeders Show in 2008. At her debut at Horse of the Year in 2008 she won her broodmare class and then went on to place 6th in the In Hand Pony of the Year title class, in doing so placing above some of New Zealands top young ponies.
Ellie continues to be a great abassador for the stud, being shown successfully inhand as a broodmare again in the 2008/2009 show season.

KS Za Za Gabour
Sire: Zapour Dam: Snazzipour
15.1hh, Chestnut Thoroughbred Mare
We had been looking for a nice TB to cross with our colt and stumbled across 'Maggie' on our search. Simply too nice to become a broodmare Kimberley dusted off our hack gear and decided to compete in the hack ring once more.
Za Za Gabour only competed at 2 shows in 2008 as novice due to commitments to our pony youngstock. At her debut at the New Zealand Nationals she won:
2nd Novice Show Hack (0-2 Wins)
2nd Horse over 148cm first year under saddle
2nd Newcomer Park Hack over 148 and not exceeding 158cm
2nd Led Dry Mare
Reserve Champion Novice Hack
She then competed at Horse of the Year and despite a floating accident on the way to the showgrounds placed 3rd in her Novice Park Hack Class.
Maggie has now joined the broodmare paddock. She will be put in foal this 2009/2010 stud season (stallion to be confirmed).

Waitake Belle
Sire: Lord Ballina Dam: Miss Kryptonite
15.2hh Thoroughbred Mare
Belle is a welcome addition to our broodmare band. She is a beautifully natured thoroughbred and I feel a perfect type to breed the taller Riding Pony or Park Hack.
