Pony Pastures
Welcome to Pony Pastures, located in the Margaret River Region of Western Australia. Here I work with my horses every day, caring for them, training them, and ensuring they are in top form to achieve great things. I like to ensure quality is preserved, and by selecting the best horses to breed I am guaranteeing that excellent genetics are passed down to the next generation. I count on these horses, not as just a form of income, but also as a living reminder of what my stable stands for, and the time and effort it has taken to get this far.

In regard to what services I offer, I have several training arenas and a riding school. I do not offer boarding due to the high number of horses I have in my care. Here at Pony Pastures, my main priorities are high stats, low NSS, and breeding horses with clean non-inbred lines (meaning no repeats in bloodlines, and no deleted horses). All my horses are treated accordingly to their specialty and are looked after with the utmost care, they are my top priority.

All my horses will have the brand ♔ this is so I can easily identify which horses are mine, when I buy a horse I will change it's brand to mine. However when buying a horse from me, I don't mind if the brand is changed or kept, it is completely optional to keep it. 

I started the majority of my breeds in 2019 and therefore have acquired a large selection of horses with detailed pedigrees, most of which are descended from my original set of horses. I have now been left with horses that have the ability to prove themselves in competitions. I am assured that every horse I own not only has the ability to succeed but also the capability to pass on the best genes and stats to the next generation.

Horses

My horses range in a variety of different disciplines and breeds, some of which go against the usual standard (I strive to be different). I love my horses and carefully pick their sires and dams in terms of trying to match the best horses to create first-class quality foals that will dominate the show ring.

I do not inbreed my horses, instead, I regularly breed horses with high-quality foundations in order to keep lines going. I refuse to overbreed either, instead, I breed only once at age 20. low NSS, stats and colour (in that order) are my main priority however recently I have started to look at conformation, but this is something that needs to be worked on. I will sometimes breed horses outside of my stable, to either introduce new genetics or because I don't have an unrelated horse to breed with.

My ultimate goals are to increase stats, lower NSS, and eventually have a higher conformation, and have now established a beautiful line of showing horses that do well in their disciplines.

My main goals include the following:

  • Decrease NSS to single-digit numbers
  • Increase conformation - no poor's in Conformation
  • Increase stats to the international level

Horses that do not meet my high expectations will be sold, and those that do not sell will be retired. This however does not apply to all breeds as some of my private breeds will never be available for the public, those of my private breeds (Australian Ponies and Racing Shetland Ponies) will be retired, no exceptions. I do this to continually improve my herds and continue to strive towards breeding the best horses. Therefore I have spent a lot of money, time, effort, and resources on breeding and acquiring the best horses. Therefore you can be assured that any horse you buy from my stable, you are purchasing quality.  

Studs and Sales

Studs

I have recently allowed studding for all stallions at our stable. The price will be between $25,000 and $50,000 depending on the individual stallion and the desirable genes such as NSS, coat colour, and conformation. A lot of horses have had credits spent on them and I will factor this into the price as well.

I do not accept breeding's on any mare with an NSS over 65, and I will be ensuring that both mare and stallion are a good match. Please do not get offended if your mare gets declined it just means she did not meet my strict criteria.

Stallions over the age of 18 will not be available for public stud, as they are nearing the age at which I breed my horses. My Mares will NOT be available for brood at any time, due to their cool down period. Please do not ask.

Sales

If a horse is not up for sale, it is not for sale please do not ask. Horses for sale will be advertised in the forum and available for public sale. I price my horses based on factors such as NSS, showing history, genes, and conformation. If the horse has had credits spent on them I will be factoring this into the price as well. Therefore it isn't uncommon for my horses to be upwards of 50k. 

It is very unlikely I will accept bids below the asking price, due to the time and effort I have spent on my horses. If you have bought a horse from me and no longer want it, I will buy it back for the same price no questions asked.

Please note my Racing Shetland Ponies will never be available for public breeding or for sales, this is due to me being the only continues breeder of these ponies. Some ponies have extensive pedigrees that have taken me years to prefect and therefore all offers to buy or asking for studs will be kindly refused. 

Breeds
I love collecting horses and have a large stable dedicated to as many breeds and disciplines as possible.

Shetland pony

These little ponies first started as a side project that has simply taken off as my most notable breed. I first started with a line of Racing Shetlands, with my first foundations still visible in some individual ponies' pedigrees. My stable is most notable for being recognized for our racing Shetlands, which have since expanded to include driving, show jumping, endurance, and dressage disciplines.

I breed every pony to become a capable competition prospect and every one of my ponies is shown every day and trained daily. Every Shetland Pony whether it be a stallion or mare will only be bred once, sometimes twice in its lifetime. Therefore making this breed exclusively private therefore meaning no outside breeding's or studding will take place. I will also never have any Shetlands available for public sale either.

At the moment my main goal for my Shetlands is to continue breeding quality stock, with high stats, and low NSS, and recently I have started putting a greater emphasis on increasing conformation scores. Doing so has and will continue to take a great amount of time, energy, money, and finally continued dedication to the overreaching goal of success and forever looking for the need to improve my ponies far into the future.

Brumby Horses

I am excited to announce the start of another breed here at Pony Pastures, the famous Brumby horses. The Brumby horse is a famous feral horse in Australia, known for the hardy nature and known to survive the harsh Australian outback, and extreme weather.

Brumbies come in a variety of colours and sizes, however the average height is between 13hh to 15hh, often called a Galloway in Australian terms, (a horse ranging in height between 14hh to 15hh). The average colour for Brumbies are chestnut and bay as this is the strongest genetic gene among horses, however genes such as palomino and buckskin can be found. Paint markings are particularly rare and often only found in the Oxley Wild River region of New South Wales.

Therefore I am trying to breed my Brumbies as close to the original standard as possible, meaning the majority of my horses will mostly be bay and chestnut with the only paint marking allowed will be roan. The Brumbies will be a mixture of Thoroughbred (as this is the most common ancestry in Brumbies), Arabian, Quarter Horse, Clydesdale and solid Paint Horses. 

Australian Pony

I have decided to include Australian Ponies as one of my breeds, partnering with Hermes Stud, to help us create these amazing ponies. Here I try to keep to the original breed standard as much as possible. These ponies are a mixture of Shetland, and Miniature blood with some Chincoteague, Welsh, and smaller Arabian horses within their pedigrees. These ponies are bred to a high standard to try to mimic the real-life breed as much as possible and all will be shown exclusively in dressage.

Others

The other breeds of horses I have here at Pony Pastures are bred to the same high standard as our main herds, their numbers are just slightly smaller to be more manageable. However I have still taken into consideration NSS, stats and colour and are given the same meticulous care that I give my other more notable breeds. There is just too many breeds to list them all individually.
