The girls are having a ball on Stormy and Conair and had quite a successful show run out here this May. (the ponies weren't as fat as in the photos!!!!)

Got quite a surprise when Angus called you at Emerald show to talk to you - he gives your stud quite the wrap.!!  Sara and Kealy were TRYING to compete at the time, but preferred to listen to you and Angus!!!!  They thought it was very special.

Anthony Hurley and Allison Davieson are having a successful time with their galloway Marena Freedom (Sunny).  They purchased this horse at one of Marena Stud's auction sales when he was only a foal. He was used as a colt for a while before being gelded. 

At five shows recently on the Western run, Freedom won two Champions, two Reserve Champions and a Supreme Champion.  At NSW Arabian State Titles, Freedom won 1st in the Led and Ridden classes and Reserve Champion Galloway.  He also won Supreme Champion Led & Ridden ANSA at St Ives.

At left, Tony was captured by Narelle Wockner riding "Sunny" at Canberra Royal.

Dear Maureen,

I have attached some recent photos of Max (who is by Shifting), I will wean him in two weeks and start prepping him for sale. ...

I have a lady in Tasmania currently looking at Max as a hack prospect which would be great.

He is a true delight and I hope to produce many like him in the future. ....

Well hope all is well.

Kind Regards

more recently with his new owner

Thank you Jane Hinchley from up north, who sent this note about Marena Brave Dance:

Dear Maureen,

Photo of Brave first show appearance ridden by his new 73 year old owner Jill Kellock near Shepparton Victoria.  He's obviously gone to a loving home and caring owner.

Sincerely  -  Jane Hinchley - - April 2006

The photo on the left is Brave Dance as a 3 yo when he won Champion Gelding at Sydney Royal.  The Jakins family of Armidale purchased him as a yearling from us and he was very successful for them, winning many Champions and Supremes over the years for the Jakins girls.

It is great to hear news of our horses and how they give pleasure to their owners over many years.

Congratulations to Jill Kellock (at right) for riding so actively at her age - lucky Brave Dance - Dam:  Marena Sundance

Hi Maureen,

Well I've been sitting up here in Kingaroy, wishing we could have attended your sale, really thought Sun Folly was lovely, good luck to the people who bought her.

The little mare Marena Amber Breeze that we brought from you almost 10 years ago  is such a great little mare who has produced  lovely foals.  All Amber Breezes foals have won at royal level either ridden or led and now she has her first colt Y.P. Standing Ovation who I'm Sure Will  do well too.

Breezes foal she had not long after her Y.P. Sunrise was kept as a brood mare as she was injured and her foal Y.P. Miss Nova will be out this season, looks so much like Marena Starflower, Ill send you a photo , and is so quiet.

Thank you Maureen for selling us Amber Breeze, she is a great little mare and we would never part with her, and have a great retirement.

Thank you

Hi Lindy and Maureen,

Just a quick note to give you an update on Marena Gala Sky and Marena Breeze.

I have recently sold Breeze to a lovely family with two daughters aged 8 and  10 who adore Breeze.  She is also staying with me as they decided to agist her with me which was great as it was going to be hard to say goodbye to her, she is just so easy to have around.

Gala Sky has just started competing, attending a hack show and pony dressage comps.  I have never had a horse with so much character and he is always up to something.  I am having so much fun with him and the plan is to work towards elementary and medium for the pony dressage.

Attached is a couple of pictures of them both.

Hope all your family is well,
Melinda Burgess.- July 2005

Dear Mrs Walker,

I thought you might like these two photos for your website. Silver Sky Gum is the son of Marena Sky Chief and our Welsh Pony Mare Bolly Gum Hoya, who lived with you for some months when she was in foal.

Silver Sky Gum known as 'Nutty' is registered Australian Saddle Pony, APSB & as Part Welsh Gelding, as well as with the EFA and the Australian Endurance Association.

He is an excellent all-round pony and competes successfully in Pony Dressage, 1 & 2 day eventing, Endurance rides, Saddle Pony events and Part-Welsh Events, both led and ridden. He was part of the APSB Pony Team yarding challenge at Sydney Royal in 2003.

The photo's show him completing his first endurance ride, at the far south coast and jumping to fifth place at Kellyville Riding Club 2 day Event. He and my other pony, who placed sixth were the only two ponies to place in entire two-day event, which of course had nearly all horses competing. He has exceptional jumping ability, especially across country.

I hope you like the photos.

Yours faithfully,  Emily Smith - 15 years - November, 2003

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to wish Lindy all the best for the upcoming birth of her child and hope all goes well. Please do let us know what she has!

I have finally got the picture of Accolade winning at EFA HOY last year from Lorelle Mercer so I thought I would forward you a copy if you wanted to use it etc. If it doesn't come through it is also on my site as well.

Hope to see you all at Brisbane,

Kindest regards

Dear Maureen
Hope you like the pic of Tas (Marena Tasman).  He's a real puppy dog, we love him dearly.  Unfortunately we have to find a new owner for him as my daughter ... can no longer ride competitively....  Hope to see Tas in the winners circle soon, he is a bundle of talent just waiting to be unleashed!  Have had a huge response from Horse Deals Magazine so I will endeavour to place him with the best home.

Hope little Luke is doing fine, Kindest Regards, Viola Briedis - December 2003

Hi Lindy,
Further about our conversation about Tasman today, I thought I'd send you some pics of him at our place here. .... My 13yo daughter has never had a problem with him either on the ground or in the saddle.

Well Lindy, what can I say, there really aren't words in the English language to describe this gorgeous, talented boy.  I've had horses all my life and never had one quite like him.  We have just started doing natural horsemanship with him and he picks everything up in about a minute.  Is there anything he can't do???

Many thanks, Viola. - April 2003

Dear Marena Stud,

I own the wonderful Marena Night Sky (Ponee).  He is the best pony I have ever had. When we go to competitions he always wins.

In 2003 Ponee got classified by the ACE group  from Germany for the Australian Sports Pony Registry.   Ponee was the first pony in Australia that the registered.

Also Ponee won the APSB Performance Pony Award 2004 and he got a really pretty Garland.

Thank you for breeding such a great pony...

From Juliette, Monica & Ponee

P.S.  Do you have any foals by Marena Sky Chief and Marena Kahlua? - (Night Sky's sire and dam)
