Glyndebourne Morticia
Sarnau Victory (imp) x Glyndebourne Minnelli (SOD Keston Royal Occassion imp)
2007 Runner-up Broodmare of the Year

Morticia is our beautiful Keston Royal Occasion Grand-daughter. We were very fortunate to be able to obtain this mare from John & Janet Petty of the Glyndebourne Stud.

Tish is a 14.1 1/2hh Liver Chestnut Riding Pony mare.  She is out of the Champion Large Pony Melbourne Royal winner Glyndebourne Minelli and she is a half sister to Janevelyn Hearts of Fire who is making a huge name for himself on the East Coast show circuit. After a short ridden career Tish was retired and has produced four beautiful fillies for us Thorne Parks Capri and Thorne Parks Romany Rose both being Royal show Champions.  Tish then produced an absolutely divine filly to Oakvale Serenade called Thorne Parks Heavens Above.  Tish was AI'ed to Rotherwood Peter Pan (UK) and has produced us in 2007 a spectacular bay filly who will be retained by the to secure this rare and sought after bloodline. Her name is Thorne Parks Little Darling

Kinlieth Prima Donna
(Cennen Pioneer imp x Starlight Kingdom TB)

Prim was purchased for Stacey Nash by her Mum Sharon and Helen. She was purchased from Ann Smiley and Veronica Manifold of Victoria.

Prim is a 14.2 1/2hh rich mahogany bay mare with the most amazing movement and the most divine face. Before traveling to Western Australia she had won Runner up National Newcomer at the National Riding Pony. Prim carries all the bloodlines we wished as a future broodmare that we had lost with the infertility of Pendragon. Prim had two successful seasons with us until injury forced us to retire her. Prim has produced us a lovely bay colt Thorne Parks Poetry by Rathowen True Blue (Courtland Boy Blue x Rathowen Russet) who has consistently proven himself by winning a broad sash at every show he has attended and recently come with Supreme of Supreme's at a recent breed show as a two year old colt.

Primadonna foaled a superb dark brown colt with a balze and two front white socks on the 8th of November. This super colt will be available for sale upon weaning to the best of show homes.

Primand will be put back in foal the Penmain Heir Apparent for a 2010 foal
