Skyview Stud is absolutely delighted to announce our two foals due in Spring 2017.  


Foal #1

Goldmine Latte-HSH (our National and State Champion Heritage Australian Stock Horse, ANSA and Dilute) to Gwaihir Aubusson (Anglo Arabian (25% Arabian), and Special Merit full Stud Book Australian Stock Horse)

Gwaihir Aubusson (b.1992) is a standout stallion in all respects.  Known for his beautiful temperament, athleticism and correct conformation.  He throws well conformed and talented offspring that excel in many disciplines. He stands at 16.2hh and throws height, as his dam was 17hh.

From a showing career perspective, Aubusson was the:

  • East Coast Champion Anglo Colt Led and Ridden
  • Australian National Champion Anglo Stallion Led and Ridden
  • Australian Champion Led and Ridden Derivative Stallion
  • Sydney Royal Champion Ridden Arabian Derivative

He also placed many times in dressage, eventing and show jumping.

Aubusson is also a proven performance sire, with progeny excelling in a wide variety of disciplines, including:

  • Showing- Aurigan de Gwaihir (Syd Royal Champ) Gazelle de Gwaihir (Darwin Royal Res Champ)
  • Eventing- Ari de Gwaihir (4*), Tarrenlea Eloise (3*), Aurelia de Gwaihir (2*)

We have been waiting many years with frozen semen "on ice" for this mating, are very much looking forward to seeing this foal in December 2017.

 

 



Foal #2
Due mid-late October 2017

A full sibling to Skyview Sovereign - 100% guarantee palomino

Belcam Allure (our Elite ACE graded Warmblood young mare) and Goldmine Mirage-HSH, produced Skyview Sovereign, a beautiful palomino warmblood x Australian Stock Horse colt, to mature around 16.3h. 

This has been a long awaited foal, and is the exact mating Allure was purchased to produce as a 7 month old filly, back in 2010.


We're aiming for beautiful temperament,  correct conformation and classy enough to be able to show successfully, and well suited to dressage or showjumping with it's dam's beautiful lift and suspension in movement (double x Argentinus / Souvenir xx).

The foal will be registered with Dilutes Australia as palomino and ancillary, able to be registered with ACE in their performance stud book, and as a 1st cross Australian Stock Horse (if a filly or gelded).


 

 


We're very much looking forward to our 2017 babies.
