I
would like to congratulate the Bufton Family in Victoria
on the purchase of this outstanding mare that is in foal
to Maximus of Astral. I am sure Rose will become a
valuable member of their stud and will produce some
amazing foals.
Melody Park Ruby Rose who I believe will be a force to
be reckoned with in the Large Galloway Ring has been
sold to Skye Curtain. This filly is so beautiful going,
she just sits up and floats. I wish Skye and her lovely
daughters the best of luck with Ruby and I am so excited
for their saddle debut.

This
year’s showing has been quiet with the retirement of
Rathowen Summerhayes and Rothwell Mysterious Ways to the
broodmare paddock. Melody Park Precious Jewel has given
us great enjoyment and shown only a handful of times as
a yearling for Champion Riding Pony Filly / Mare at the
Riding Pony State Show and 2nd in a very strong Riding
Pony Under 2 y/o Class at Sydney Royal 2014. She is a
super going filly and very elegant, making her a
fantastic saddle prospect. Other Showing News, Melody
Park Heavenly Pearl has had an astounding year! Pearl
was Maximus’s first foal and is a superstar with 4
National titles (EA and SHC) in the last 4 years! Some
of this year’s major wins claimed: Working Hunter
Adelaide Royal, EA Nationals Champion large hunter pony,
Childs Show Hunter Grand National, 2014 Grand Nationals
Champion Large Hunter pony, EA awards night 2013 Pony of
the year (open ponies inc). Thank you to Jess Stalling
and the Parker family for giving Pearl every possible
opportunity to excel since her purchase in 2005. Melody
Park Dancing Queen was sold to the Bufton Family and
continued her winning ways. This combination has
excelled in the Children’s Classes and was Top 10 Large
Pony at 2014 Barastoc with placing's at Sydney Royal.
Kaesbrook Gladiator (Maximus of Astral), owned by the
Lord Family, recently joined the hunter ring. His debut
as a hunter has certainly been with a bang! Kaesbrook
Gladiator (Maximus of Astral), owned by the Lord Family,
made his debut as a hunter claiming R/up Large Hunter
Galloway at ENSW HOTY and the Open Heavyweight Galloway
at Canberra Royal.
