Walkenny
Park is a Riding Pony Stud which is situated in the Western District
Of Victoria.
Owned and run by EFA NCAS Level 1 Coach Denise Farrugia. Walkenny
Park Riding Pony Stud became part of Denise and her husband David's
beef property which was established in the early 1980's.
Denise
has had a life time involvement with horses and in 1998 decided to
establish Walkenny Park Riding Pony Stud, a life long dream that
finally became reality. The first mare to be retained as a broodmare
to the stud was Denise's well known show mare, Ebony Rose, who
displayed Arabian blood as well as Riding Pony blood. This mare is
still a part of the stud today having produced four foals.
The stud has a small number of quality mares that have already
proven themselves prior to breedig. They are sent off to well knowm
stallions such as Egyptian King, a Thoroughbred owned by Mrs Helen
Clark of Shaundale Park; or to a Beckworth Stallion which are Riding
Ponies standing at Prue Harvey's Beckworth Riding Pony Stud.
Walkenny Park aims to produce a small number of saddle Galloways
each year which are of Royal Quality but are quite enough for an
adult to ride as well as a child.
