Ballantyne Stud, Cleveland Bay & Australian Sporthorses

Ballantyne Stud, Cleveland Bay & Australian Sporthorses Horse breeders , hack ring & show jumper enthusiast. The Ballantyne horses are a family affair, being home bred, handled & educated by us.

We have a small number of mares that we breed to outside stallions, as well as using frozen semen stored from our own stallion, Ballantyne Godsend, who is now gelded. We prefer Thoroughbred x Cleveland Bays which produces an attractive, better b***d Sporthorse suitable for all disciplines, however the occasional carefully selected dash of Arab or Warmblood is used. Ballantyne Stud is nestled in th

e Armagh Valley on the edge of Clare, SA. It consists of 45 acres of tree covered hills, a creek, huge dam and picturesque views over the vineyards. With plenty of room to move, the young stock grow fit & healthy in the undulating paddocks, which are regularly seeded to grasses. Stock sometimes available for sale.

Ballantyne Queen's Gambit ('Thistle') brown filly pictured here is currently being broken in by Bronya Kennedy , she is nearly ready to come home soon. We are planning a Show Hunter career for her, she is by Whistlejackets Warfinch RP. who is by Weswood King Joshua.

Ballantyne Just a Fling ('Jasper') owned by Kerry Roberts is also coming along well under saddle, Kerry is super pleased with him, he is by the palomino QH sire BGW Secret Affair, hence the beautiful colour & the name. 😊

These are both out of our good Cleveland Bay Sport horse mare Ballantyne Auburn, Jasper is 4 years old & Thistle is 3.

It was farrier day today for our two youngsters, 5 mth old Ballantyne Keepsake (Louis) & 2 year old Ballantyne Queen's Gambit (Thistle)
They both behaved themselves so well it was a pleasure to see.

Louis has been weaned using the stress free 'side by side' method of yarding him and Russia in neighbouring yards over a couple of weeks. Slowly extending the time apart until she has dried up her milk comfortably.
He is our first foal on the ground by Ballantyne Godsend, he has a superb sweet personality like 'William' ... to say we are thrilled to bits with him is an understatement.
In a few year's time keep an eye out for a very tall, blingy chestnut horse, he is a clone of his father !

Thistle is now 2 and 1/2 , is maturing enough to be given a light start under saddle soon. She took to wearing rugs like she had done it forever, a credit to both her parent's good natures, Ballantyne Auburn & Whistlejackets Warfinch.

The lady in waiting, Russia, enjoying a warm spring morning in the orchard. Russia is due in 3 weeks time with our first foal by Ballantyne Godsend (William) via AI. She conceived with one dose first try.
We had the foresight to collect & freeze semen from B. Godsend before gelding him, therefore we do have some limited straws available for this season, feel free to inquire.

Estudios recientes realizados por el “Institute of Heart-Math” proporcionan una pista para explicar la" curación "bidireccional que ocurre cuando estamos cerca de los caballos. Según los investigadores, el corazón tiene un campo electromagnético más grande que el cerebro: un magnetómetro puede medir el campo de energía del corazón que irradia desde 2.4 metros hasta 3 metros alrededor del cuerpo humano. Si bien esto es ciertamente significativo, quizás sea más impresionante que el campo electromagnético proyectado por el corazón de un caballo sea cinco veces más grande que el de un ser humano (imagina una esfera en forma de campo electromagnético alrededor del caballo) y este pueda influir directamente en nuestro propio ritmo cardíaco.

También es probable que los caballos tengan lo que la ciencia ha identificado como un ritmo cardíaco "coherente" (patrón de frecuencia cardíaca) que explica por qué podemos "sentirnos mejor" cuando estamos cerca de ellos. Los estudios han encontrado que un patrón cardíaco coherente o HRV (siglas en inglés) es una medida sólida de bienestar y consistente con estados emocionales de calma y alegría, es decir, exhibimos tales patrones cuando sentimos emociones positivas.

Un patrón cardíaco coherente es indicativo de un sistema que puede recuperarse y adaptarse a situaciones estresantes de manera muy eficiente. Muchas veces, solo necesitamos estar en presencia de caballos para sentir una sensación de bienestar y paz. De hecho, la investigación muestra que las personas experimentan muchos beneficios fisiológicos al interactuar con los caballos, incluida la disminución de la presión arterial y la frecuencia cardíaca, mayores niveles de beta-endorfinas (neurotransmisores que actúan como supresores del dolor), disminución de los niveles de estrés, disminución de los sentimientos de ira, hostilidad, tensión y ansiedad, mejor funcionamiento social; y mayores sentimientos de empoderamiento, confianza, paciencia y autoeficacia ".
