Our first foal of the season has arrived! 🐴✨

There’s something special about the first little arrival…and the long wait is over! I love watching the wobbly first steps and the little personalities that soon emerge, it’s the part of breeding I never tire of.

Our first foal isn’t the filly I was after and somehow without the bling I was hoping for too! But not chestnut, so I’ll take the win! 🤣 He’s by the open stallion Darma Acres of Vegas and from KS Catnap, Elvis’s maternal sister.

Now I’ll have to patiently wait for Catnap’s daughter, who’s up next. She’s in foal to WP Smooth Talker.

Then we move onto the ET foals.

We have a gorgeously quiet TB mare carrying a foal by Mobile Pricetag and from Kaspers Versace. Both parents are open horses, so this should be a very competitive horse.

Then there’s a lovely SB mare carrying one by Boonara Mentor and out of Coolum Ovation. If this foal isn’t versatile, I’ll have to rethink my program! 🤔

Lastly, we have the one I might just be the most excited about. Our first Kirkbys Stud Elvis foal and from McNamara Conbrace, the record priced mare we purchased at Dalby ASH Sale last year. After two embryos not sticking in their recip, we put her in foal…so will have to wait until March for this one! That’ll test my patience. 🤣

We’re excited to be offering this very cool gelding at the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲 in February.

Kirkbys Stud Uno is a rising two-year-old by 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗛 𝗣𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗢 and out of 𝗞𝗜𝗥𝗞𝗕𝗬𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗡𝗔𝗣 - 𝗛𝗦𝗛 (Cattle Ray x Warrenbri Omega). He has recently been professionally started by Murphy Performance Horses and has impressed us with just how willing, cool and quick to learn he is.

Uno is a lovely type with a quiet outlook and a naturally athletic way of going. He has been easy to educate, loves to be with you, and gives the feeling of a horse that will suit a wide range of disciplines, whether your focus is campdrafting, challenge, working cattle, pony club or simply a quality all-round performance horse.

His pedigree combines the proven cow-horse influence of One Stylish Pepto with the depth of one of our most versatile maternal families. Uno’s dam is a maternal sister to Kirkbys Stud Elvis, our resident open campdraft and KOTR winning stallion. Their dam, Kirkbys Stud Madonna, is the dam or granddam of multiple open campdrafters, challenge winners, a World Cup Polocrosse mare, and a World Cup Showjumping gelding.

This video was taken before Uno enjoyed the last month or so off and he will start his sale preparation in a few weeks. We look forward to following his progress in the lead-up to February. Keep an eye on our socials and website for updates on Uno. He’s one cool horse!

A lovely day out for Kirkbys Stud Shimmer at the Coonalpyn Challenge!🌟

Shimmer and I placed 2nd in the whip crack and scored a very respectable 80% in the dry pattern, which I was stoked with. She completed every obstacle, including carrying the Aussie flag, and put in an awesome keyhole in the time trial.

I’m so pleased with her efforts as this was only her second outing! She received loads of comments on how cool and willing she is! 🤩

Shimmer is by Eagle Hustler and from one of our Adios Reflect mares, a cross that’s proving highly versatile.

Thank you to the Coonalpyn Show for a well run and very enjoyable day.

I’m a bit late in posting this…but a huge congrats to Zoey and Kirkbys Stud Icon for their win in the 2026 Congress Ladies Campdraft. They’re clearly on fire, as they placed 2nd in the Cooyar Stallion Campdraft this weekend. Super well done!

Icon is standing for Youngmere Performance Horses at Equivets in Qld.
