Introducing Our Feature Horse or Stud

Anyssa Park started 12 years ago, with the purchase of a miniature pony as company for a thoroughbred mare, who wouldnt stop pacing the fence line. As the story goes, more minis moved in, and more and more time was spent playing with the minis, than was spent riding the Thoroughbreds, and so, it wasnt too long before the Thoroughbreds moved out. Funnily, after 13 years of riding, i didnt miss it like I thought i would. The minis had me besotted, and before long I had accumulated a small herd.

Many of those horses have since passed, or have moved on to new homes, as I developed my eye for the type of horse I wanted to concentrate on breeding. When Anyssa Park's first ever filly was born I knew I had something special. Anyssa Park Egyptian Fantasy became a very successful (and very naughty) show horse, and during her 4 year show career, she won 7 National Champion titles, including halter, futurity and harness. Her foals have all been National Champions, and she is one of my best producing mares at Anyssa Park.

In 2008 during the Equine Influenza, I purchased a stallion that I had always admired from afar; La Vista Rowdy Remark. This beautiful stallion was well known in the industry, and had made a real mark across the country, with his progeny. After many months of waiting for bio-security restrictions to lift and my being able to bring Rowdy home to NSW, I finally got to bring my beautiful new stallion home to Anyssa Park. He was an absolute teddy bear, with the sweetest of natures and he loved both his humans and mares and enjoyed any attention he could get. Sadly, Rowdy was just not meant to be at Anyssa Park, and in June 2008, we lost him to a tragic paddock accident.

On Valentines Day, in 2009, I imported my dream stallion. The stunning RFM Boogermans Ultimate Warrior (Pictured left in 10yo paddock condition) joined our stud all the way from Allure Ranch in Texas USA. It was a long awaited arrival, and he far exceeded my expectations. He was so refined, and arabian in type, movement and presence, that he took my breath away, and he still does every time I see him in my paddock. Ultimate Warrior has produced Champion after Champion, year after year, including National Supremes & State Supremes, and Supreme of Supremes. His trademark that he passes on to his foals is his long hooky neck, strong hip, and beautiful head, and his foals never fail to impress.

In the 5 years he has resided at Anyssa Park, Ultimate Warrior has made my dreams come true in producing refined, arabian type miniature horses time and time again. I have retained many of his daughters including Anyssa Park Ultimate Majesty (pictured below), and one beautiful gelding, Anyssa Park Ultimate Gladiator (pictured right), who is out of Egyptian Fantasy, and has been retained to be my daughters show horse.

We have retained an exciting young colt, Anyssa Park High Roller (Pictured on magazine front cover) to cross over Ultimate Warrior's daughters. He will solidify the great breeding, refinement, type, temperament and colour in our herd. We are excited about the future with adding this exceptional young stallion to our program.

Anyssa Park remains a small stud, breeding 5-7 foals a year, and each horse getting hands on attention every day. We breed in the hope of retaining, but of course they cant all stay, and if the right home arises, then we do sell to homes where our babies will be loved and handled like they are here.

I show just a few horses each season, as I am a one person team! Its a bonus when my we come home with a sash or garland, as I show for the love of it; the love of the horses, and the love of the company of horse minded people. I have made many life long friends in the miniature horse industry. My 2yo daughter has inherited her mothers passion of all animals, and this year, she has experienced her first show ring experience (which she discovered was just a little more daunting, than the practice she does at home lol) but quite possibly, Anyssa Park will become a two person show team in the not too distant future!

Until then, see you around the shows! Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2015!
