Wishing everybody a fabulous 2025. I particularly wish to congratulate our many clients who have loved and adored our youngsters. It’s been a (nearly) 50 year journey for our stud. This show season, our horses achieved some tremendous results. To have bred /sired three SHC horse of the years champions in three states and in three different height categories has been pretty special and this really comes down to many, many years of refined breeding and special horses along the way. We congratulate Luke Dawes (and riders Britt Holmberg and Stella Gilmour Monica Croston) for their amazing success with Cheraton Queen Bee (Cheraton True Blue X Cheraton Work of Art) - champion small pony Geelong royal, Champion SHCV HOTY small childs pony and Champion small pony SHCV. We congratulate Luke Docker Kelly Mules with his outstanding success with newcomer Keanbree Austentacious (Cheraton Blue Label X Fairleigh Juliet Bravo) - EWA show hunter large Galloway of the year, runner up Childs Galloway of the year, Perth royal best novice. SHC WA show hunter Galloway. Last but not least, we congratulate the Shaw family Maria Shaw Laura Lee Sophie-Kate Shaw with their very special Cheraton Black Label (Cheraton Blue Label X Melindras Spirit) in his newcomer year with Margot Haynes and Mercedes Mathews -champion large hack at SHC SA Horse of the Year, qualifying for the EA Nationals and then claiming National runner up Childs Large Hack of the Year and then 3rd in the National open Large Hack of the year. This was all in his first season! We are so proud of all owners of our horses.
The messages and photos received every week throughout the year has made it truly special - from the yearlings in winter to the 34 year olds enjoying their best life. We are truly grateful.
Please note we have a small number of stock available.
Happy new year for 2025. May it be filled with memories, adventures, good health and happiness.
