Koorootang Shetland Pony Stud

Call Directions

Koorootang Shetland Pony Stud Koorootang Shetland Stud has been breeding and showing successfully for over thirty-five years. The stud commenced with the purchase for one of our sons.

A chestnut c**t foal, Laguna Red Diamond, who later became a very versatile gelding. He was shown extensively in led, saddle and harness classes, competed at pony club, raced in steeple chases, and paraded at Warana processions. "Red" passed away a few years ago, after a number of years spent in peaceful, well earned retirement. For many years Koorootang was a predominantly grey stud with Loch Lomond bloodlines. Koorootang's grey show team of the 1980's - Nacona Juanita, Nacona Anita and Nacona Navy-Blue were well known in Shetland circles in Queensland. Their dam was Nacona Anette and their sire Loch Lomond Clyde. The Shetland Pony Owners and Breeders Society of Queensland's trophy for Most Successful Pony for the Year was won by Nacona Anita in 1982 and by Nacona Juanita in 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986. In 1987, with a c**t foal at foot, Juanita was judged Supreme Shetland Pony Exhibit at the Royal Queensland Show. She was a consistent Champion in the led classes and she and her sister Anita were also good harness and saddle ponies. Over the years they and their full brother, Navy-Blue, all won Supreme ribbons. We have shown Koorootang ponies almost exclusively for a very long time now and with the acquisition of a black stallion, Koolangatha Juniper (sire Wells Vintage Imp.) and later, Koolangatha Powit (same sire) the tide turned and our show team today is predominantly black.

A little Koorootang Rosebud appreciation 🌹

The girls have been having a lot of fun with her. Trot poles, tarps and leading her from their little 12V John Deere. There’s really not a whole lot she wont put up with 🤩
Plenty of little adventures and pony shenanigans happening here!

Standing at 8.2–8.3hh, there’s certainly no shortage of fun packed into this little pony.

Registered APSB and also eligible for AMPS registration.

We’re making the most of having this little girl while she’s here and Ive enjoyed watching the kids have so much fun with her 🖤

🌟 Seeking Koorootang Mares 🌟
We are looking to connect with owners of Koorootang-bred Shetland pony mares who may be considering parting with one of their girls.
If you have a Koorootang mare (or know of one) that may be available and you feel she would be a good fit for a dedicated, knowledgeable show or breeding home, we would love to hear from you.

Please kindly PM the page with details.

The very last of our much-loved Shetland ponies are looking new homes, only due to the upcoming sale of our property.

Most of these sweet ponies are from our long term show team and are very well handled (with some of the mares suited to and/or already proven toddler leadlines)

They are not free (so don’t ask).
We want to ensure they go to knowledgeable and committed homes where their ongoing care will be prioritised.
We will be very selective with where they go.
These ponies require:
• Twice-daily feeds of chaff and Old Timer/Equibix as a minimum
• Routine care — including regular worming, farrier, dental, and vet attention
• Loving, hands-on owners who understand the needs of senior ponies.

They have given us many years of joy and love, and we’re looking for homes that will offer the same in return.

If you can provide a safe, well-managed, and caring home, please reach out. Excellent longterm forever homes are our priority.

Stallion:
⭐️ Millbrae Victory (22yo) *SOLD*

Bonded Pair - Mare and Stallion
(mare doesn’t cycle) *SOLD*
⭐️ Koorootang Norita (26yo)

Mares:

STALLION SPOTLIGHT

✨Koorootang Brigadier ✨

By Glen-Dara Tristam (Wells Kismet IMP x Chatsworth Tilly IMP)

Out of Koorootang Amber Rose (Wells Remarkable IMP x Shady Glen Amber by Wells Rising Star IMP)

Brigadier boasts some of our absolute favourite bloodlines, beautiful expressive movement and has an impeccable nature.

We have only bred with this big, sweet boy a handful of times, but what he has produced have been prolific winners in the show ring, especially at Sydney Royal.

In 2021 his 3yo c**t, Argus Park Vintage, was awarded Supreme Champion. 2025 saw Argus Park Rumgally place first in a massive gelding class.

Brigadier has been shown with huge success across New South Wales and Queensland.

He is now happily retired from the show ring and will never leave us. He will run with a group of our mares soon for an exciting crop of 2026 babies!
