Here at Monarra Park our mares have all been carefully selected based on type, conformation, and their bloodlines. Most of our mares are highly decorated and are producing foals with the same winning edge that they have.
We believe the mare is just as important as the stallion when breeding for success!

BALNAGOWN BONNIE LASSSire: Colvadale Reflection
Dam: Balnagown Lullaby 2010 Black Mare | 9.2hh This stunning mare is truly a force to be reckoned with, not only in the ne 9.2hh classes but up against all heights as well. From the moment we acquired Bonnie, we knew we had something special. She was completely unbeaten in her first year of showing, beating well seasoned, successful ponies. She quickly made a name for herself there on in & has now amassed an amazing show record any owner or breeder would be proud of. She was given time off to have her first foal, Monarra Park Arya, and although she has nothing left to prove in the show ring, this little mare still continues to astound us with her results. One of the most successful ne 9.2hh mares of recent years. Progeny To Date Include:

Dam: Balnagown Bonnie Lass 2014 Black Mare | 9.2hh Arya was the first foal born under the Monarra Park prefix and she has certainly done us proud since then. Her first show was at the NSW APSB Stud Show where at only 3 months of age, Arya was awarded Best Shetland Foal. She now has several champions & supremes to her name, competed interstate successfully & has placed highly at Royal level. Her pedigree is a combination of some of the best imported lines & some of Australia's most successful too. She is a grand daughter of the infamous Wells Rising Star (IMP) and for this, along with the fact she has such a sweet nature, means she will become a valuable broodmare in years to come. |

MONARRA PARK PARISSire: Lentara Legend
Dam: Glen Ardan Poppet 2015 Black Filly | 10.2hh A first foal for both her parents, Paris exceeded all expectations when she was born. A truly stunning filly in all aspects- abundance of hair, beautiful length of rein and a powerful trot underneath her. Paris was left in the paddock to mature originally & in 2018 she commenced not only her led career but was sent down to Victoria to be campaigned under saddle by Bec & Jane Gerber. With such a short amount of time under saddle, this has not seemed to affect her placings against the older, more experienced ponies. Some of her recent results include- Reserve Champion- Open Small Pony (Lang Lang Show) Reserve Champion- Open Small Pony (Yarra Glen Show) Finalist- Newcomer Saddle Shetland (Barastoc) Top 10 & Smartest on Parade- Open Saddle Shetland (SHC Battle of the Borders) Top 5- Preliminary Saddle Shetland (SHC Battle of the Borders) 1st- Ridden Shetland Mare (Canberra Royal) 1st- Ridden Shetland Mare (Sydney Royal) Runner Up Ridden Shetland of the Year- SHC HOTY Qualified for SHC Grand Nationals 2020 |

FAIRLIGHT ACRES LINDYSire: Fairfield Park Jerry
Dam: Elken Lucille 2007 Chestnut Tobiano (Homozygous) Mare | 10hh We are very fortunate to have Lindy here at the stud.

I had long admired her and what she was producing for her previous owners and after a few years they eventually decided to part with her. The decision was made to leave her empty for her first year here to join her to a specific stallion down in Victoria and after a long wait, her first foal for us (and first filly) was born.
