More great show results from Chelsea Batchelor. Woodview Kalipso (pictured right) was awarded Reserve Champion Led Gelding at the recent APSB National Stud Pony Show in Sydney. Congratulations!

We have also welcomed a new small Shetland broodmare this month. Sankur Seraphina is an 88cm piebald mare and she is currently running with Kanimbla Blackwatch for a 2009 foal.

August 2008

The filly fairy paid an early visit to Woodview Stud this season with the arrival of a tiny chestnut filly on the 7th of August. Woodview Caramia is the first foal for our stud by Kanimbla Blackwatch and is out of The Golden Meadow Chloe. She is a gorgeous foal and already shows a very cheeky personality. Look out for this one at the foal shows next winter! Sadly it is not all good news with Woodview Summertime losing a lovely big chestnut and white filly. Thankfully Summer is safe and well. We are still expecting a few more foals this season and they will be added to the Foal page as they arrive.

Some great show news from Chelsea Batchelor, owner of Woodview Kalipso (Redacres Simon x Woodview Kahlua), a 3yo gelding just commencing his ridden show career. Kalipso attended the recent Sydney APSB Show and was awarded Reserve Led Shetland Gelding, Champion Led Non Black Shetland Junior, and Reserve Champion Ridden Shetland, ridden by Mikayla Towers. Congratulations to them all and we wish them continued successes this season. (pictured right)

April 2008

Woodview Stud had a fantastic show at the recent NE Border Group Foal Show at Tatura. We entered 3 of our foals and it was the first outing for all of them. All three were very well behaved and achieved great results. Our lovely taffy skewbald colt, Woodview Harlequin, won the colt over 8.2hh class before taking out the Champion Shetland Foal over 8.2hh award. Our black filly, Woodview Lilyana, won the big filly class, with Woodview Tequila being third in the same class. Lilyana stood Reserve Champion to Harlequin. We ended the day on a high note with Woodview Harlequin being awarded Grand Champion Shetland Exhibit.

January 2008

The 2007 foaling season was a busy one with all of the Woodview foals arriving between August and September. It started off on a sad note with Glengoram Park Gypsy losing a black colt foal by Thorpeville Dallas-Joe at only one day old. However, we were fortunate to then have 2 lovely fillies by Dallas-Joe out of the always reliable Otway View Liana and a maiden mare, Lerwick Tia. Both fillies will be retained at stud. Millwood Blackberry produced a lovely chestnut taffy pinto colt by Bollingbroke Hamish and he will be offered for sale on weaning.

Our young piebald stallion, Streamville Park Mosaic had his first foals arrive this season also. First up was a piebald filly from Millbrae Starlette. Both Starlette and her filly, Woodview Sparkle have since been purchased by Teddywaddy Stud. Next was a first foal for Woodview Spring - a piebald colt to be named Woodview Shadow. Unfortunately, Burrabong Brooke (right) had an extremely difficult foaling and lost a piebald colt also by Mosaic. Tragically we also lost Brooke a few days later as a result of complications from the foaling. Brooke was a gorgeous mare who was shown successfully in her younger days and produced some lovely foals for us here. Her daughter Woodview Belle has been retained at stud. Brooke will be sadly missed. RIP

Due to our need to reduce numbers, we currently have on offer a great selection of quality ponies - all of which can be viewed on the sales pages. There is a wide selection on offer, from an 8hh APSB/AMPS filly, to  our beautiful imported-bred Quarter Horse mare. Also included in our sale are several breeding stallions, and some quality Shetland and Riding Pony saddle ponies. Feel free to contact us by phone or email for more information on any of the ponies, or to arrange a time to inspect them. Visitors are always welcome.

Among our recent sales are two quality piebald mares:- Woodview Kahlua, who has been sold to NSW as a child's saddle pony, and Woodview Summer Storm, who will also make her way to NSW to join Tania Salkovic's Ravensview Stud.
