MarLou Stud We are a horse breeding enterprise, specialising in the producing of Arabian, Waler & ArabianXWalers

MarLou Stud is a boutique horse breeding enterprise, specialising in the producing of Arabian, Waler and ArabianXWaler Horses. Located in Greta, North East Victoria, Australia the Stud is owned and managed by husband and wife team Ryan and Louise Mackey and assisted by Louise’s parents Maree and Greg Pearce. We compete predominantly in Endurance Horse Riding but do not limit our breeding expectati

ons to this discipline only. Our breeding focuses on producing strong horses of excellent quality with great temperaments. With each breed we try to achieve a horse that has good hooves, exceptional conformation, stamina, a highly trainable demeanour and who will mature 15.2hh+. We currently breed two Stallions to our own broodmares only, but are looking to offer services to outside mares starting 2024. We stand a Purebred High Percentage Crabbet Arabian, Jena-Lea Azraf who is 15.2hh, as well as a Purebred Historic Waler, MarLou Legacy who is 16hh. Breeding sporadically for the past 11 years we have now refined and distinguished our breed type and will over the coming years continue to focus on elevating this to produce World Class equine athletes. MarLou Stud places a high priority on breeding for quality over quantity and produces just 2-4 foals each year. Although, we are still very much establishing our stud our horses are starting to speak for themselves with successes in New Zealand, Tasmania and of course the Mainland. We look forward to continuing to grow and invite you to ask us any further questions, organise a farm visit or discuss potential partnership or sponsorship opportunities.

Introducing the newest addition to our beauties… MarLou Kismet. This gorgeous filly was born just after midnight Friday morning (10/10/25). She was a bit of an anxious wait for us as Mum had started dripping milk on the Monday, losing that precious colostrum. The birth went without problems and she ticked all of the necessary boxes, standing, drinking and being a little cutie. To be sure however we decided to get an IgG done, alas a fail which was not of course unexpected. A plasma transfer was decided which she received today, another IgG will be done tomorrow to confirm all good 🤞 and then hopefully she can get back to being a normal cutie pie. I can’t thank my beautiful friends and family enough for helping us out throughout this situation. Sally O'Shea for her knowledgeable guidance, Fiona for stepping in to help when we couldn’t be there and Ryan’s wonderful parents for also helping whilst we are away. We really appreciate this help and support, you are all such amazing, beautiful humans and we are so lucky to have you in our lives. Ooxx Kismet is by our Purebred historic Waler Stallion - Legacy out of our gorgeous Purebred Arab mare Lolly. Lolly is also doing an amazing job, she’s such a beautiful mare ❤️

Another busy weekend - planting trees, cutting down dead trees, lighting fires, stocking up the wood pile and plenty of horse and dog smooches in between. Poor little Florence was plum tuckered out and put herself in the car! Plenty done but plenty more to do… very lucky to have such problems ❤️
