Our beautiful Nah-Zara gifted us with a gorgeous little filly MarLou K’gari (meaning Paradise) on the 23rd Dec 2024. Perfect in every way she is out of Nah-Zara (purebred Arabian) by MarLou Legacy (purebred Waler). She is so friendly and an absolute cutie! 🥰 ❤️

We welcomed a new addition to MarLou Stud on what is universally noted as a horses birthday - 1st of August! Never did I think we’d have one born on that exact day but alas our beautiful Carinya has proven me wrong! By our gorgeous Arab JenaLea Azraf out of the lovely Waler MarLou Carinya welcome MarLou Solstice we are so thrilled to meet you ❤️

An afternoon with the dentist! Thank you Zoe of Murray Valley Equine Dental Vet for giving our boys their annual checkup and routine maintenance. Had a lovely afternoon. Such a fascinating process to watch. This time round we got our 4 year old Waler Stallion Legacy treated, he was so well behaved. I am so proud to have bred such a gorgeous soul. We also had Billy boy, Cas and Kash done. I forgot to get a picture of Billy (he was arguing too much with me 😆) but remembered the other 3. They were all really well behaved and I’m happy to report had no major issues (phew)! Love our boys! ❤️

A few weeks ago Mum and I enjoyed another brilliant clinic with Josh of Knights Equestrian. It was a Horsemanship clinic which was a bit different from the previous Liberty but still thoroughly enjoyable learning new skills and always improving. Of course Mum took her little man Cas and again had a wonderful time learning more with him. I love seeing the connection between these two! He has come such a long way in trusting and relaxing and Mum has done a fantastic job developing this. I took our homebred ArabXWaler man Kashmir across and in usually Kash form he behaved beautifully. He got a touch hot and bothered when he thought we were leaving his bosom buddy Cas but for his first outing in an enclosed arena with multiple other horses in close proximity handled things superbly. We are already looking forward to our next one!

Farrier day today! 26 horses trimmed, moved to fresh paddocks and settled for another few weeks. A great day spent with Mum and always fun catching up with Warren.

Finally got a chance to get some work done in the paddocks over the past few days. Always love having Mum down to help, makes the work a lot less dreary ❤️ The cattle must have had a tough day watching us… 😴

Saturday morning Mum and I headed out for another go at Cowboy Dressage. We had Cas and Billy Boy in tow for this one. Was such a wonderful day learning with the very knowledgeable Jen Hawkins. I cannot recommend her clinics highly enough! She is patient, kind and adept at explaining different techniques in a way us newbies can fully understand. We had a lot of fun but it wasn’t without some arguments from Billy 😆 before we got to where we needed to be. Love him like crazy but he does sometimes make me crazy 🤪 Mum and Cas throughly enjoyed building their skill set and connection. It is wonderful watching them learning together ❤️ Great catching up again with Vanessa McFarland, her and her boy are brilliant to watch together! Already looking forward to doing it all again at the next one!!

*If anyone is interested in learning about Cowboy Dressage or giving it a go send us a message and we’ll put you in contact. It is a really fun activity to do with horses of any type!

We are enjoying a lot of firsts this year at MarLou Stud… this time a weekend away learning the fundamentals of Liberty Training from the very talented team at Knights Equestrian. Mum and Casablanca did such a fantastic job together, connecting and learning whilst Fergus and I tried our best to continue to build on our relationship. Both horses behaved beautifully and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Looking forward to practicing what we learnt and hopefully building further with more clinics in future. Thanks Kookaburra Park Equestrian Centre for having us and also Meagan Harrison for organising such a fantastic weekend!

MarLou Stud experienced another first over the weekend, attending an Introduction to Cowboy Dressage Clinic run by the very experienced Jen Hawkins. I pulled big Kash man (MarLou Twiggy’s Kashmir) out of the paddock, dusted off a few cobwebs and off we went. After a sit down session going through the fundamentals of Cowboy Dressage we then went out and started learning different techniques and movements we would need to master the discipline. Kash having been spelled since last August handled everything so wonderfully, finishing with a session under saddle to bring our days learnings all together. It was such a fabulous day, spent with beautiful like minded people and horses and learning from one of the best in the industry! If you are looking for something challenging, fun and engaging to do with your horse we would highly recommend having a go at Cowboy Dressage. I think Kash and I have found our next passion for the year 😊🐎❤️

Piranha ATTACK!! Our cute little puppies have grown so quickly. They are absolutely gorgeous, so interactive and playful! Can't believe this is Benatar's last litter. She is such a phenomenal Mum and just adores her babes but alas she has now aged out of her childbearing days. She will be fixed up later this year to enjoy the rest of her days as our gorgeous and much loved Benatar.
