Warmbloods

The Warmblood Stud at Bellingara first started in 1999 with the purchase of "Centennial Dais", a Thoroughbred mare with a Jazz foal (Bellingara Jazzman) at foot. This mare was originally purchased as a competition horse, having competed successfully at Elementary dressage, and would later return once again to the "broodmare arena". Thus it was decided to also purchase some young mares who could be used for breeding in the short-term and later used for competition. We believe the mares in our breeding programme should be capable of competing successfully under saddle.

Our mares have been selected for temperament and trainability, essential traits for the breeding of performance horses. In addition to this, they have excellent conformation and movement together with good breeding.

The stallions are selected for the breeding programme on the basis of individual type, movement and conformation, bloodlines, performance and the quality and performance of the offspring they have produced. To date, we have used imported frozen semen to achieve our goals.
