MOONBAH'S PRIOR STARS
From little things big things grow - some of the horses that started our journey and now enjoying retirement with us

2006 AQHA Gelding - Im Justa Beaver x Golden Aane
13-time AQHA National Titleholder in dressage, show hunter & hunter hack
AQHA Superior Horse (Youth Dressage)
Royal show winner
​
Jack was retired from competition in 2017 following a very successful 7 year under saddle campaign and has remained with us since. Jack enjoys a luxury retirement lifestyle on property in the picturesque Hunter Valley wine country. A view we would all like to retire to!
SLIDE ON BY ("SLIDE")
1999 PHAA Gelding - Navaho Eldorado x Faytal Attraction
PHAA Grand Champion Hack
Multi-National Champion Hack
PHAA Distinction Horse (Hack)
Multi-State Champion (dressage, hack and hunter hack)
In addition to these results, Slide was a successful all-round performance horse with many wins in the interschool, pony club and show jumping arenas.
​
Slide was retired from competition in 2014 following over 8 years of successful competition. Slide overcame a lot to achieve the results he did, with extensive rehabilitation occurring early on in our journey together following illness and then injury. Slide retired at home, falling straight into his role as the loyal leader and go-to babysitter of our paddocks and happy maintaining that role over 8 years later.
NAVAHO TWILIGHT TIME ("WILL")

Multi-State Titleholder (hacks and dressage)

Will was sadly retired following injury in 2010. Will made a come back in 2013 for places at the 2013 NSWPHA State Championships, before retiring at home. Will now enjoys his retirement with another MPH star "Jack" in the Hunter Valley Wine Country.
BEAUPARC CHARM ("SIAN")
1992 RPBS Mare - Fairlight Acres Windsine x Beauparc Showtime
Melbourne Royal Supreme Champion (pictured)
Horse of the Year champions
EA Nationals competitor
In addition to Sian's show ring results, she was also a schoolmaster interschools mount and a versatile hand throughout the PC rings.
Sian is often referred to as the matriarch of our paddocks, and in more ways than one. Not only has she been a thrill to compete, she has shaped my eye for elegance, sophistication and correct traits in a horse.
​
Following retirement from her performance and competition career in 2010, Sian gifted us several beautiful riding pony foals before promptly telling us she was not ready for retirement! It was a pleasure to see Sian continue teaching the ropes to several connections of ours up until her return home to us in mid 2022. Nowadays you can find Sian assisting fellow MPH star "Slide On By" in keeping order within our retirement/spelling paddocks.
