24.01.2022 Tara Park Phoenix We await a few more foals by him this coming spring. He is enjoying a winter of rest with no Royals to prepare for. Phoenix will be available to outside mares this coming season, or may be offered on negotiation to interested parties. PM for details.

23.01.2022 Monarra Park Nightrider aka Kit 4yo gelding 10.1 3/4 hh Awaiting a performance career amongst COVID

22.01.2022 Spring is approximately 10 weeks away, which means foals start arriving shortly! Our first foals are due from Mid September onwards and many will be available. For some mares, this will be their last foal prior to retirement. They have served us well, and will be cared for as long as they live. Our oldest mare is rising 37 years old and is the best nanny to our weanlings! Sires of upcoming 2020 foals include: Wandarra Pippen ... Colvadale Reflection Marbet Bothwell Tara Park Justa Larrikin Tara Park Phoenix Koolangatha Tumbleweed A Stud Assistant has been appointed recently, so please send messages and they will be answered in due course. Our 2019 foals are all weaned, and some have left to be with their new owners and we look forward to seeing them out and about! With COVID-19 there were no foal shows to take them out, however we are sure many will have successful careers with their new homes. We still have some available to approved homes, including one black filly who will have a great saddle or harness career with her fantastic movement. We removed her from open market to keep, but circumstances have changed significantly. Priority given to those who have owned and successfully shown our ponies previously, as we love to support those who support us! PM for details. Many ponies have left us over the past few months (more than I have fingers and toes to count on!), heading to WA, QLD, NSW, and Vic. Whilst it was very sad to see some of them go, we tried to ensure they got homes best suited to them. Hoping everyone is wintering well!

20.01.2022 Congratulations to Jess Doyle and Balnagown Bonnie Madison on her recent wins being Champion Shetland at both ENSW HOTY and SHC Pacific Coast Championships. She is pictured with her rider Winter Schultz. Congrats on your golden ticket.

19.01.2022 Congratulations to Lee Purchase with Glen Ardan Tulloch, Ridden Shetland Pony of the Year at the recent NPOTY. He has had a great first show season.

18.01.2022 We were delighted with the arrival of a filly on Saturday to Gemma & Harley. Big girl who is going to be chunky and a good height. Pretty sure will be black, but she might surprise us! Those few white hairs on her forehead are just visible.

18.01.2022 Glen Ardan Covergirl Welsh B filly to mature 13.1hh https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/glen+ardan+covergirl

17.01.2022 Balnagown Gandalf The Grey 2yo Colt to mature approx. 10.1 1/2hh Sired by Gleneagles Phantom (Imp) (SOS Harviestoun Pharoah) imported and owned by Mr David Ross (Australia) We thank David for allowing us to send his dam and hope to repeat the mating in the future.... We are happy with how this young colt is progressing. He has a half sibling (grey yearling) that is also going to make a lovely colt.

17.01.2022 Glen Ardan Nadia Koolangatha Tumbleweed x Lockhaven Lola The Showgirl Approximately 9.3 hh Young mare offered by stud.... Recently lost foal due to Placentitis. Due to having enough broodmares we have decided to not re breed with her. No reason she can't have foals, but for pregnancy would benefit from antibiotics close to foaling in case of repeat Placentitis. Vet details can be provided if potential purchaser wished to discuss. Lovely pony who could be broken in, shown, etc. Lovely bloodlines. Ready to go. Not rejoined. Eight Hundred PM for more details.

15.01.2022 Balnagown Gi Gi (pending) So quiet and engaging. Going to be a big filly close to height. She thought she might give Norni a reminder she is also there for pats!

14.01.2022 Balnagown & Glen Ardan have two additions to the stud stallion roster this season. Balnagown Gandalf The Grey & Glen Ardan Varsity. Two youngsters who have good bone and depth, with lovely pedigrees. Gandalf is by the imported stallion Gleneagles Phantom (x Harviestoun Pharoah) owned by Mr David Ross, and we hope he goes on to produce some lovely greys for the stud, with good bone and type. Gandalf presents a combination of fantastic UK bloodlines which includes Wells and Ha...Continue reading

14.01.2022 Balnagown Escada 2yo piebald filly

12.01.2022 Whilst much of the country swelters, there have been showers last night and this morning. It's nice visiting the stud and walking out in the paddocks and talking to the ponies. Escada is starting to fill out and is the quietest, friendliest pony that follows you every step. Sibling to B Enchanted who was Fiona's harness mare, Escada is now 2yo and has a yearling full sister Ethereal. This year Emerald gave the stud another full sibling to Enchanted, Elegance and Essence.

12.01.2022 Balnagown Gandalf The Grey Gleneagles Phantom x Kinross Justa Lil Silver Spray Grey colt to mature 10.1hh Not at Public Stud... https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/balnagown+gandalf+the+grey

12.01.2022 Winter is halfway over, and foaling season begins in a few weeks for most studs, but not for ours. We do however have a rising 2yo black gelding available that will suit saddle or harness. Full sibling is GN qualifier (2020) and many paternal half siblings major royal/hoty/breed champions. Will mature approx. 10.1 3/4hh He is available to go anytime. In woolly winter condition. Photos can be arranged but due to COVID-19 owners of property reluctant to allow visitors. If ...after viewing photos you would like to view in person, discussions can occur with property owners. This pony had been removed from market to be kept and campaigned in harness, however circumstances have changed and decisions need to be made regarding ponies, hence he is now available. We believe he is a royal quality harness pony. PM for details See more

11.01.2022 Spring 2020 will see the following stallions for joining at stud. Not all at public stud. Private arrangement only. Approved mares only. Book early as we only take a couple of mares each season.

10.01.2022 The fantastic 'ROBERT' (Glen Ardan Rob Roy) jumping though isolation with his jockey Matilda. How fabulous do they look.

09.01.2022 Another new addition last week was this lovely chestnut filly to be named Glen Ardan Covergirl. Photo at 4 days Welsh B expected to mature 13.2hh

09.01.2022 Another well boned colt coming through. Glen Ardan Varsity is a 3yo colt about to be stallion assessed for upgrade. He stands just under 10.1hh and should make 10.1hh on maturity. He presents bone and body much like his sire Koolangatha Tumbleweed, only in a taller package. He has good depth, straight limbs, good mouth and moves along really well. ... We have given Varsity plenty of time to mature and we are happy where he is at. Varsity will get his first mares this season, along with Balnagown Gandalf The Grey (also pictured) once both have been upgraded. Both have bone to add to the mares and we look forward to seeing what they produce.

08.01.2022 Glen Ardan Varsity 4yo 10.05hh Young sire for the the future.

06.01.2022 Black with star and snip Approx. 10hh or over Suit saddle or harness PM for more details or contact Sue McIvor

04.01.2022 Balnagown Ethereal (Pending) Black filly to grow to height. Another precious filly from Balnagown Emerald, sired by TP Phoenix. This filly is a little powerhouse of a mover, is very "up" and a typical Emmy baby with that gorgeous nature of all her progeny.

01.01.2022 As winter gets closer the ponies are coating up in preparation of the cold and wet down here on the south coast. We reassess the colts and stallions each autumn/winter prior to spring making decisions on joinings, gelding, sales etc. Glen Ardan Varsity is a 3yo colt who will undergo his stallion assessment prior to spring, and has a few separate studs to share his showing and breeding future. Varsity shows good depth, nice bone, strength in forearm and gaskin, short cannon...s, natural topline, and width of chest. Like many ponies here, his sires' line goes back to Fairway Pipette who as a broodmare has produced successful and beautiful lines that are present in many top ponies today.

01.01.2022 Glen Ardan Rimfire 3yo gelding 10.2hh Rimi (Norni's bottle baby) has started his breaking process and he has the best temperament! What an absolute sweetheart.
