Canterbury Welsh Show 2013
January 20, 2013
Skibbereen Serenity (Nawarrah Park Lady's Man x Kylandee Chintz) had a successful day at the Canterbury All Welsh Show on Saturday, winning Champion Section B Youngstock and Supreme Section B Exhibit under judge Michael Gates from Australia. This is the third year in a row that Hollybank Stud has claimed the Supreme Section B Exhibit at the Canterbury All Welsh and with a different pony each time, in 2011 with Bendigo Royal Charm, in 2012 with Nawarrah Park Lady's Man and in 2013 with Skibbereen Serenity.

In a joint effort to help with the improvement and numbers of the Section B welsh ponies in the North Island, one of Hollybank Stud’s imported stallions, Imperial Messiah, has made the long trip up to Auckland where he will be on lease to Fleur Kern for the next three years. He will also be available to outside mares during this time.

For the 10th year in succession Hollybank Stud’s resident stallion Nawarrah Park Lady’s Man has won the Gunthwaite Trophy for the NZWPCS Section B Sire Ratings. Lady’s Man has held this award continuously since 2012, with there being two years of no competitions during covid in 2020/2021. This year he was represented by 4 progeny, Hollybank Crusader, Hollybank Wee Whisper, Hollybank Justin Time and Cedar Park Regal Man. Homebred stallion Hollybank Antonio also finished 3rd in this competition, his first year of being represented by progeny at ratings shows.
