What a beautiful day at Kyabram Show 2026

Congratulations to Nikki Shegog and Ren Kenna Arabian Show Support & Promotions for running a hugely successful first event of the Arabian Tri Series 2026. What you have achieved is incredible.

We were excited to join this year’s competition with cremello, partbred filly, Sovereign Acres Enchantress by Sovereign Acres Lancelot.

Still a baby at not even 12 months old, she held her own against derivatives of all ages and genders. We could not be more proud of her behaviour or performance today with plenty of positive feedback.

Ryan Baker, you must be thrilled with the next generation you have produced.

Thank you and congratulations to Casey Purcell for taking the lead today in her main classes with great results.

Special thank you to Touens Park and IRT for the Junior Derivative sponsorship.

Thank you to the amazing list of generous sponsors that support these shows with so many great, useful products, samples and offers in our prizes, competitor bags and goodies buckets.

It was so good to be back out showing and seeing so many familiar, friendly faces. Congratulations to you all and your beautiful horses today. Looking forward to round two at ABSS next month.

*** FINALLY ****
At 377 days we welcome our second and final foal for the season, a super sweet, palomino Sports Pony c**t.

By Sovereign Shakespeare out of Welsh Cob mare, Sovereign Belladonna.

Both foals this season, particularly this one, were bred with a view to producing something special for myself and I just may have hit the jackpot. With a 12.5% chance of a palomino c**t, I didn't dare wish for anything more than a healthy foal, but so delighted he is here with just the right amount of bling as an added bonus.

Belle has been my ever reliable riding horse for the past few years and with Billy reaching a special milestone birthday this year, the pairing just made sense. 💛

Thank you to Belinda O'Connor for enduring the tedious wait and ensuring his safe arrival.

*** SKYHI XCITE (IMP) ***
It is with great enthusiasm we welcome this exceptional Warmblood mare by renowned Danish Knabstrupper stallion Xhogun Middelsom.

Ticking every box for temperament, movement, type and spots, she brings some exciting opportunities for Sovereign Acres. Already a crowd favourite at the farm, she exudes presence while maintaining the kindest aura.

Thank you to Donna for trumping me in the enabling game and brokering this special acquisition. ❤️

*** INTRODUCING SABRINA ***
When all we wish for from any breeding is a healthy foal, we are pleased to announce the safe arrival of our first foal for the season.

Sabrina is a chestnut, Sports Pony filly of Quarter Pony x Welsh x Arabian breeding by Sovereign Shakespeare.

With a rainbow of colour possibilities by a palomino out of a dilute? black pinto, there was only a 6.25% chance of a solid chestnut from this pairing and not even a sock in sight. Breeding for type and temperament, a good horse is never a bad colour.

Sabrina is strong, confident, friendly and everything we expected from this cross, not to mention cute as a button. 🧡

The last couple of weeks of pregnancy were not as smooth as they could have been with way too many sleepless nights on foal watch. Huge thank you to everyone for all the support that got us here. Special thanks to Alison - Romsey Equine Services, Ryan Baker and Jay Graham, it really does take a village.

Happy Birthday Billy! 🧡
*** Sovereign Shakespeare ***
20 years ago, the first foal for Sovereign Acres was born in Biddaddaba, Qld. A perfect, golden palomino c**t. It has been the most amazing journey. Still my number one. Supervising now with me, on foal watch as we eagerly and anxiously await your first special foal for the season. 🧡

Happy Birthday beautiful "Bobby" 😍
*** Sovereign Acres Lancelot ***
10 years tracking down your dam, 3 years researching to select the most suitable sire. My designer baby! Perfect on paper, perfect in existence (just not the perfect partner for me). At four weeks of age, you chose your person, a bond you can't manufacture and with a declaration of "I want to keep him", you became Ryan's shining star. Beyond proud of the amazingly successful young stallion you have become. So proud of Ryan's dedication resulting in so many outstanding achievements including an impressive first crop of fillies for his own breeding program. Now full of excitement for the next chapter of superstardom! 🤩

*** BROODMARE LEASE ***

We are pleased to offer the opportunity to lease Sovereign Belle as an exceptional broodmare with more to offer than being a paddock ornament.

Belle has proven to be an easy, fuss free broodmare. Following her spotted buckskin filly with her previous owners, she has blessed us with two quality, coloured Sports Pony geldings by Sovereign Shakespeare.

Both boys exhibit correct conformation, powerful movement and quiet, unflappable temperaments. They are a perfect balance of their parentage, with Belle's genetic contribution complementing the stallion's.

Sovereign Acres Solitaire was sold (unadvertised) as a 2yo to an amateur owner as their first horse. Not usually condoned, this has been a perfect partnership and testament to his quiet, willing nature.

Sovereign Acres Scribe is an equally quiet, eye catching pony with potential in any discipline. Still young, they have been shown successfully for multiple championships and supremes across their breed and colour registries.

Belle herself, is a buckskin palouse standing approximately 13.1hh (her sons are expected to mature up to height but under 14.2). She is registered ASPA and Dilute as well as being eligible for Quarter Pony and additional colour registries.

Belle is an excellent mother, not foal proud, thrives throughout pregnancy, is an easy keeper and has been a textbook broodmare for us. Foaling unassisted, she has not had any complications nor health concerns. She has been easy to breed and gone in foal first time both paddock and hand serve. She has been regularly wormed, had her feet trimmed, been rugged very occasionally in the coldest of winters and is easy to float. While generally easy to do anything with, she's not a huge fan of handling her back feet and she's not looking to be your cuddly best friend. Happy to do her own thing, she's no trouble in a herd environment or in a private paddock.

She would be an asset to breed Sports Ponies, Quarter Ponies or add something different to your breeding program with the some exciting colour possibilities.

Only offered for lease as she is always welcome home. Single season or long term lease option available to the right home.

Currently located Beveridge, Victoria.
