Warmbloods

The Warmblood Stud at Bellingara first started in 1999 with the purchase of "Centennial Dais", a Thoroughbred mare with a Jazz foal at foot. The use of frozen semen from European Warmbloods was still fairly new in Australia, and we were excited to see the stallions on offer.

Soon after we purchased a couple of mares from Val D'Argent stud, one of the largest Warmblood studs in NSW at the time. These mares were Argentille Ivanka, and Trimba Honour with her outstanding filly foal Argentille Barbarella.

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 performance bloodlines.

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 Dutch and German frozen semen and the best of Australia's imported sires to achieve our goals.
