Onto Sydney Royal we went, attending with
the Super moving Rothwell Mysterious
Ways, winning the Novice Pony 13.2-14h in
strong competition. She certainly took
my breath away when she trotted across the
arena. There is no other pony like
her!
I would like to thank Sarah Adams for the
dedication and hard work in producing Missy
and she now heads to the Broodmare paddock. |

 All
the way from Victoria the beautiful Melody Park Kings
Command was ever so perfectly ridden by Bree Petrie and
produced by Romsey Park to be the winner of what we
believe the strongest height range in the pony ring.
Kings Command produced an effortless foot perfect
workout like a seasoned pony to be declared the winner.
RIGHT: Kings
Command
Kings Command is still a
baby at the age of 3 years old, it is truly remarkable,
the trainability and temperament of this young pony and
he is a credit to his owner Michelle Kelcey. Kings
Command also was 2nd in the Childs Ridden Riding Pony
with a young rider Edwina. Edwina had only 1 ride prior
to piloting Kings Command at Canberra. This is a true
to credit to this pony to be able to carry such a young
rider to produce such outstanding results in a child's
class. Kings Command certainly has had a sensational
start to his saddle career and as he matures and
develops we are sure he will be a pony that keeps on
winning.
The special little pony
Melody Park Dancing Queen, also a young pony at 3 years
old had a sensational Canberra Royal for her new owners
Holly, Andrew, Tilley and Tori Fair of Victoria.
Dancing Queen is just so cute with her little 7 year old
Rider Tiley who has formed such an amazing partnership
with this little pony since her arrival in November
2011.

Melody Park Dancing Queen
Dancing Queen and Tori
Fair who is 10 years old were 5th in the a very strong
12.0-12.2h Novice Pony Hack class, producing a grown up
workout and Queen coped ever so well at her first Royal
Show under saddle. This little mare certainly is worth
her weight in gold, with 10 mins work before such an
atmospheric event her trainability and temperament
certainly proved just how special this pony is..
Dancing Queen then went on to carry her little 7 year
old rider Tiley Fair in the Riding Pony Stud Book Childs
Pony - a huge class we must say to produce a sensational
2nd place. Dancing Queen and Tiley then went on to be
declared 2nd in the Open Childs Pony Hack class, also a
huge class and a stellar result for this young
combination. Dancing Queen is certainly creating a
profile for herself and we are very proud of this little
mare and can't wait to see what the next season holds
for her. |

Melody Park Kings Command wins VASA Open Pony Hack
Champion for 2012
Following on from Kings Commands Supreme Champion at
Adelaide Royal and Champion at Melbourne Royal in hand,
he recently started in October 2011 undersaddle and has
outdone his current list of outstanding
performances in hand to win the VASA Open
Pony Hack Championship in Victoria, beating
some very beautiful ponies. |
|

Owned by
Michelle Kelcey, produced by Romsey Park and expertly
shown by Bree Petrie, this combination has proven just
what this pony can do. To win such a prestigious event
at the age of 3 years old says a lot about the
temperament of our ponies and their trainability that
Maximus of Astral is famous for. We wish Team Kings
Command the very best for the upcoming show season, I
know they will do us and their dad proud....
Melody Park Dancing Queen after her successful debut in
the show ring, qualifying for Sydney and Canberra Royal
at the ripe age of 3 years old and only Seven outings
has been sold to the Fair Family of Victoria. Dancing
Queen and her lovely little riders Tiley and Tory will
definately be a combination to watch this season, as
Dancing Queen was virtually unbeatable whilst in NSW and
I think most of the small pony owners in NSW were glad
to see her head to Victoria....

October 2011
 September saw the start of Melody Park Dancing Queen's
Saddle Career and what a little superstar she is!
Piloted by Emma Adams, Dancing Queen has attended 5
shows for 4 broad sashes and 5 wins. She also attended
Horse of the Year and was Top 10 in the Newcomer
Section, won the Preliminary Pony under 13h and then
went on to the Open Pony Hack ne 12.2 to be scored 4th
behind some of NSW Top Small Ponies. The result of 4th
was outstanding for a pony that has been going for only
3 months and the line up of ponies she was ahead of her
have been going around for many years and have won many
Royal Show Titles, so this result for Dancing Queen
shows us a big future for this little girl. A huge
thank you to Sarah and Emma Adams for producing Dancing
Queen to perfection.

Horse
of the Year was also Rothwell Mysterious Way's first
show back since Sydney Royal and what a pleasing show
this was. Mysterious Way was produced by Sarah Adams
and I might say this combination is going to be very
hard to beat, they look great together and Sarah has
done a magnificent job with the preparing of Mysterious
Ways. Mysterious Ways was also scored 4th behind NSW's
most successful ponies, so this result for a pony that
has only done one season is something we are very proud
of. |
|
Mysterious Ways also attended St Ives Show where she
worked the house down and showed everyone what a massive
trot she has to be awarded Supreme Hack of the Show, it
is not often a Pony Hack can go out there and give the
bigger horses a run for the money, but her quality and
outstanding paces proved her the winner.
I
would like to personally thank Sarah and Emma Adams for
their dedication to these beautiful ponies, their hard
work is greatly appreciated. |

Maximus of Astral
sires
a Grand National Winner!
We are still on cloud nine
after the recent Grand Nationals. Melody Park Heavenly
Pearl who was Maximus's first foal ever born has done us
proud and Won the 2011 Grand National Show Hunter Pony
of the Year. Heavenly Pearl was expertly ridden by Jess
Stalling, the workout they produced was polished and
ultra unique to be declared the winner.
It was an amazing
achievement with over 30 of Australia's Best Show
Hunters in the line up. Heavenly Pearl has certainly
had an outstanding season and I am so proud of her. A
huge congratulations to the Parker Family who are ever
so attached of little Pearly!
Another
Sydney Royal has been and gone!
This year we showed the
ever so dainty Melody Park Dancing Queen. This little
filly has her dad's laid back way of going, she took the
whole Royal thing in her stride like a well seasoned
pony! Considering she had only been out to 2 shows 10
months ago, she was so well behaved and produced a
"Grown Up Workout" to be declared 4th in the Riding Pony
Filly class under 12.2h. This class was a strong class
with some very beautiful ponies, so we were delighted
that Queen received a bow.
Rothwell Mysterious Ways attended her second ever Royal
Show and produced some of the most outstanding work
yet. Her paces are improving every show and I was very
proud to say this pony was mine, comparing in the class
to the other ponies, she definitely out moved every
horse in the class! Mysterious Ways was also 4th in a
very strong 13.2-14.0h Novice Pony hack Class with over
30 ponies in the class. I feel this pony is only going
to go from strength to strength and we are very excited
what the next season will bring.
Melody Park Heavenly Pearl after her massive Grand
National win in the Large Pony Hunter class, Pearl had a
super Sydney Royal and has been named the Superstar
Pony! She is very versatile at that. I don't know many
ponies around that can go in 3 different breed classes
and be in the Top 3 placing's of each class. Her
success says a lot about her versatility. Heavenly
Pearl was 1st in the Led Arabian Derivative, 3rd Led
Riding Pony Mare and 1st in the Led Part Bred Welsh
Class. She then went on to win the Champion Ridden Part
Bred Welsh Broad Sash against a strong line of up of
well performed beautiful ponies. I would like to
congratulate the Parker Family for her outstanding
results, they would be on cloud nine at the moment I am
sure! |

Kings Command does it
again!
|
 Melody Park Kings Command
really is on a roll. This time he adds a Reserve
Champion Riding Pony Gelding and a Champion Saddle Pony
Gelding at Melbourne Summer Royal to his name! Kings
Command has recently been gelded and is growing into a
beautiful cut of a horse and is proving this with the
consistent Broad Sashes at each Royal he has attended.
Congratulations to
Michelle, Greg and Terry, as always he was produced to
perfection and we await his saddle career with high
hopes! |
