MarLou Stud We are a horse breeding enterprise, specialising in the producing of Arabian, Waler & ArabianXWalers

MarLou Stud is a boutique horse breeding enterprise, specialising in the producing of Arabian, Waler and ArabianXWaler Horses. Located in Greta, North East Victoria, Australia the Stud is owned and managed by husband and wife team Ryan and Louise Mackey and assisted by Louise’s parents Maree and Greg Pearce. We compete predominantly in Endurance Horse Riding but do not limit our breeding expectati

ons to this discipline only. Our breeding focuses on producing strong horses of excellent quality with great temperaments. With each breed we try to achieve a horse that has good hooves, exceptional conformation, stamina, a highly trainable demeanour and who will mature 15.2hh+. We currently breed two Stallions to our own broodmares only, but are looking to offer services to outside mares starting 2024. We stand a Purebred High Percentage Crabbet Arabian, Jena-Lea Azraf who is 15.2hh, as well as a Purebred Historic Waler, MarLou Legacy who is 16hh. Breeding sporadically for the past 11 years we have now refined and distinguished our breed type and will over the coming years continue to focus on elevating this to produce World Class equine athletes. MarLou Stud places a high priority on breeding for quality over quantity and produces just 2-4 foals each year. Although, we are still very much establishing our stud our horses are starting to speak for themselves with successes in New Zealand, Tasmania and of course the Mainland. We look forward to continuing to grow and invite you to ask us any further questions, organise a farm visit or discuss potential partnership or sponsorship opportunities.

Another busy weekend - planting trees, cutting down dead trees, lighting fires, stocking up the wood pile and plenty of horse and dog smooches in between. Poor little Florence was plum tuckered out and put herself in the car! Plenty done but plenty more to do… very lucky to have such problems ❤️

Around the farm at MarLou Stud. Billy, a new baby, a visit from Mum and Dad, a sleeping puppy, the next generation learning from the current on farrier day and tree panting.

It’s been a busy but productive few days 😊

She’s finally here!! Our beautiful Sahreen foaled a gorgeous chestnut filly at 12:30am yesterday (18/08/2025). In honour of her mum we have decided to call her MarLou Serene. She is Sahreens first foal and our first foal by the gorgeous Prince Nabeel. I’m looking forward to getting to know this little beauty as the years progress ❤️
