Evergreen Sporthorses
Evergreen
Sporthorses is a family owned warmblood stud located at Jerrara,
in the lush hinterland on the New South Wales South Coast, 5 minutes
from Kiama, 35 minutes from Wollongong.
Our goal is to produce a small number of high quality Warmblood
and Arabian Warmblood horses with superior temperament, conformation,
movement and bone, with the highest priority being a trainable temperament.
We believe in quality rather than quantity and confine our breeding
to a limited number of foals per year.
We are breeding horses of the highest quality and potential for
dressage, jumping and eventing and which are suitable for the serious
amateur rider as well as professional riders.
The majority of our sales stock are bred from our own stallion
- Snowview Jamieson and a small number of well
bred mares. This provides clients the opportunity to meet both the
parents and have a chance to assess the qualities of temperament
and trainability, which are clearly demonstrable in the stallion
and mares and are unmistakably inherited by the progeny. We also
use Australian based stallions with similar qualities that are accessible
if clients want to visit them. We have added the beautiful Welsh
Cob (C) stallion – Snowdon Vale Saloman for
clients interested in Pony Dressage.
We have chosen not to use imported semen as we believe that, although
there are certainly many wonderful stallions available, it is important
to many of us to be able to assess the parents of horses that are
to be our partners in our life and our sport for many years. The
time, effort, money and angst that are expended in our life with
horses means that the choice should be well considered. The presence
of the stallion and dam and the opportunity to spend some time with
them makes that choice a little easier. There are also so many imported
or well-bred stallions in Australia now that we have a terrific
base for Australian bred horses.
Snowview Jamieson and Snowdon Vale Saloman
are available to outside mares. For details and breeding contracts
please contact us.
Our horses are managed seriously. We pay attention
to diet – including vitamin, mineral and protein requirements;
foot care – ensuring correct trimming from birth to ensure
straight strong legs and good quality feet; correct dental care;
adequate feed, water, sun and shade; regular worming and vaccination;
and adequate, appropriate handling as foals followed by groundwork
training as they mature. You are invited to visit our stud and see
that all the horses have well trimmed and balanced feet, are well
grown with shiny coats and a bright eye and that they are all people
friendly. The qualities we are striving to produce are evident in
all the horses.
This year we are initiating a breeding programme of larger ponies
with the intention of breeding ponies suitable for dressage with
similar attributes to our warmblood horses.
Thank you for your interest in our beautiful horses.
Enjoy browsing through our site and please let us know if we can
help you find or breed that ideal horse.
