You may have noticed its been a bit quiet on here for a while - that's because for the first time in 14 years I have decided to have a holiday!
Last week, however, saw a bustle of activity with SG Stud getting ready for the New Zealand Arabian Horse Society AGM and Stud Tour that was held for the first time in many years here in the Waikato.
SG Stud was proud to showcase our facilities for breeding and foaling as well as our resident stallions. We were blessed with incredible weather for this time of the year and this made the day very joyful.
We were very proud to present our Arabian stallions on the tour. All these lads are only groomed - no covers apart from Shell Fire who just has a waterproof sheet on.
Fed on Harvest Grains Feeds, all our horses are just glowing from the inside out 🥰
All photos were taken by Diane Gaskin and we are incredibly grateful for her photography skills on the day. Thank you so much for all you do for our incredible breed of horse.
SG Stud was proud to showcase and present:
Aspen Hills Shell Fire
24 year old purebred Arabian Stallion
Redwood Lodge Firewalker (AU) x Sunnybank Annashelle
Still going strong and still fertile.
Stud Fee for the 2026/2027 Season is $800+GST
AI only but we MAY allow some live cover for mares (conditions apply)
SG Firemaster
Anglo Arabian Stallion
Aspen Hills Shell Fire x Go To School (TB)
Superb temperament. Bred to cross over heavier Warmblood mares to refine. The progeny he currently has out there are moving machines. We are looking to get him classified with the Warmblood Association at the next classification.
Stud Fee for the 2026/2027 Season is $1,000+GST
AI only
and introducing our wee secret weapon that we have been keeping very quiet about...
SG Helios
3yo Purebred Arabian
Aspen Hills Shell Fire x Simeon Seana
Big thanks to Kelly Mason from Kelaray Stud for leasing us such a superb mare that gave me everything I was after as a future replacement for our old lad here.
Helios is a moving machine with an incredible presence. There were many 'wows' when we brought him out.
We have a lot of interest in people wanting to use him this season. If you are very keen, please get in touch and, if we have enough interest, we will look at training him for AI collection and analyse his swimmers before we make a commitment to nominating him and opening him up to stud.
Potential Stud Fee for the 2026/2027 season $1,200+GST with a discount for the first 5 mares (to be discussed with the mare owners)
If anyone missed the tour and would like to come and see our stallions and tour the stud, please do get in touch to make a booking. I am always more than happy to talk about my passion for breeding and foaling, as well as show you our very lovely resident stallions.
