South Island All Welsh Show 2014

At the South Island Welsh Show held in Ashburton in February it was Skibbereen Serenity's turn to shine. "Nellie" is by Nawarrah Park Lady's Man out of Kylandee Chintz and was led at the show by Philip Peter. She had a cracker of a day, starting out with Champion Section B Youngstock and Best Section B Exhibit, followed by Grand Champion Purebred Welsh Junior, and then went on to take out the Supreme Purebred Welsh Exhibit of the Show. Cedar Park Regal Man was backing up again with Champion Section B Gelding and Champion Section B Ridden.


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.
