Standing room only down the main street of Horse Capital of Australia, Scone for the 2026 Horse Festival Parade.

The theme of this year 2026 Upper Hunter Horse Festival is “Breeding Brillance”. Scone as Horse Capital of Australia, has in the past, and is still breeding some of Australia’s finest horses, many who have excelled on the international stage.
This is a philosophy Haydon Horse Stud has throughly endorsed and has been put into practiced continuously from right back at the start, in the early days from 1832.
The policy has always been to breed from the best mares then from her best daughter, then her best daughter to best daughter right through to today’s horses. This practiced has been ingrained into each generation of the Haydon family and enforced by strict culling.
It is based on the theory that the female lines are 80% of breeding. These strong mare lines are illustrated by Hall of Fame International mare Haydon Angel Jewel. Her female Jewel Family started with the top mare Countess who was renowned for chasing brumbies back in then early colonial times. Her daughter by Midnight’s sire Tester, Bangle was Bernard Haydon’s mare best. Then followed the top mares Locket, Necklace, Bracelet, Jewel, Trinket, to Emerald who played Test matches for Australia to Angel Jewel who is the only horse in history to win every major tournament in the world. Angel Jewel’s daughter’s bred in Argentina are now following in her international footsteps. Her full sister Tourmaline is the dam of Victoriana who played the Argentine Open, stallion Oracle who stands in the UK and to top mare Sky Jewel by Ellerston Solar whose daughter Chanel played in the recent Ellerston high goal. She now represents the 11th generation of this family.
Haydon Illusion ridden in this year’s parade also stems from Countess and Bangle through another branch of the Jewel Family through Trinket to Topaz, a stand out mare of her generation, drafting at the Sydney RAS in 1937, to Sapphire, then Ruby, to Dark Jewel who played Test matches, Dream Jewel by Drawn, Mirage by Nat Buchanan winner Haydon Dancer to Illusion today as the 10th generation.

We are very fortunate to have the genetics in Australia of the legendary Argentine mare La Luna…..thanks to Kerry Packer importing her sire son Solar to Ellerston. One of Solar’s best daughters was Cruiser, who Adolfo Cambiaso played in the Argentine Open. She is the dam of sire Ellerston R***i. The stud is still breeding from the Solar mares Haydon Sky Jewel and Haydon Paloma.
Another La Luna son Open Espacial, a prolific sire, daughter Open Silaba was winner of a BPP in the recent US Open final. She was also in the 2026 Best String, an honour Haydon Angel Jewel also achieved back in 2013.

This is Victory’s lovely half sister Tory (Victoria x Norman Pentaquad) rated by Charlie Hanbury as one of his best. She was such a classic, athlete type. He played her in three chukkas in a hard fought final to win the UK Gold Cup at Cowdray Park.
Her mother Victoria won prizes in both NZ and Australia, playing up to Test level.
Victory was one of those rare sires that all his progeny “played”. Click on this link to see his full profile

Haydon Vintage (Ready for Life x Victory) joins his BPP full sister’s Haydon Vital and Haydon Esprit, by winning his first BPP on the weekend. He is used as stallion by Tim Boyd as he bred Victory, who was out of the champion mare Victoria whom Tim played and brought across from NZ. Her daughter Tory won the UK Gold Cup for Charlie Hanbury from Lovelocks, who rated her as one of his best ever.
It was a good weekend for Victory as he also sired Haydon Acorn who was in the Best String and his son Haydon Cascade sired Capri who won the BPP in A grade.

Seven years ago Haydon Oracle took his first step on his journey from Haydon Horse Stud at Blandford in NSW, Australia to fly the ASHS flag in the UK. Previously, back in 1991 ASHS Australian mare Serene won Champion Polo Horse at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in an all Australian affair being ridden by an Australian rider.
The success of the Haydon Oracle venture for Jason and Penny Webb has been overwhelmingly as expressed below. Haydon Oracle’s trademark trainability has shone through. Jason has termed him almost human. He was following a polo ball with no reins in his first month of riding here as a two year old. His mother is a full sister to Adolfo Cambiaso’s Haydon Angel Jewel whom he famously won every major high goal tournament on in the world.
