them together. Then, he totally ignored her… and she was so puzzled. Every now and then he would rush up to her, all vocal and tease for about a minute then just walk away. The next morning, I saw him serve her and she didn’t move a foot. If they are runners, he just runs about five metres away from them and keeps up, not once putting pressure on, until once again she says it’s okay. He does like to control his mares though, he does drive them to where he wants them to be and they stay there until he says they can move away, usually that’s when another stallion and his mares are close by! One mare had to learn to be in a herd, she kept having to be driven back to the other mares, but he was always the gentleman. Now, all the mares absolutely adore him and want to be with him well and truly over any other stallion. And SP Viktoria? She was tested not in foal but in February 2014 she presented an incredible chestnut filly, so unbelievably beautiful! SP Tiara hopefully will be shown this season. Dreamy’s first foal crop was incredible. So many Champions and Supremes from foal shows and as yearlings. The star of the first crop was SP Cuddlepot from Sanlirra Snugglepot (Vale Park Spotlight x Malibu Park Ramblin Rose), a registered Arabian Riding Pony. Most of all they won hearts from the crowds as they were just so adorable looking! The beautiful Straight Egyptian purebred mare, Kuhaylan Nakala (Simeon Samal x Kuhaylan Egyptian Nakeeda) chose Dreamy over the young toy boy SP Ibn Sataara (Abraxas Amir x Sataara) so who was I to say no? This past season the most extraordinary palomino filly was born, and sold, in two days! She promises to be quite tall, possibly her dam’s height at 14.3hh. I love buckskins, and when I saw Marconi Gold Maker for sale I just had to enquire. He is by the same sire as Dreamy but out of totally different lines on the dam side. His dam is Bungalally Cappuccino, a perlino broodmare that was very well thought of in the pony fraternity. So of course I bought him. Buzz as he was known, who had already a few seasons under his belt, had incredible progeny already. When I announced I had purchased him, and people started tagging me in his successful show progeny, I was blown away! I don’t think he’s had one ordinary foal! Both of my boys have produced pinto marked foals too. I tested Buzz to see

if he could produce palomino and he can’t, but he has produced every shade of buckskin
Most of all they won hearts from the crowds as they were just so adorable looking! there is! His most challenging mare was a 15.2hh Anglo mare, so he had to learn to be collected. She had a stunning golden buckskin colt this season, and I think will also be the size of his dam. Both my stallions’ foals have incredible temperaments, and that is passed onto all their foals. Marconi Gold Maker has yet to cover a purebred mare but next season I plan to use a few Straight Egyptian females with him. He’s not confident serving the bigger mares though so I end up hand serving. Dreamy’s funny though, if there’s a couple of mares to serve and one’s bigger, he won’t serve her unless there’s no other option (lol). Dreamy has served the stunning Straight Egyptian Asfour daughter, Simeon Sie, from Rafaalaa imp USA this season. This foal I am expecting to be pretty incredible.
This was her first time being paddock served and I don’t think she’s convinced about being bossed around yet! I intend using my best Straight Egyptian mares with my pony boys. Dreamy has a few progeny that are destined for the Pony section of dressage with the stars so that is very exciting! His colt foal out of the multi Australian champion Arabian Pony mare Chelleason Kisses of Gold recently was awarded 2016 Main Event Supreme Junior Derivative at four months old! So the future is looking really colourful for Sheridan Park!
