Located at the foot of the Southern Alps near Methven, Mid Canterbury, Hollybank Stud specialises in breeding quality Welsh Section B ponies.
The stud started out breeding small children's ponies with the little Timor stallion "Hollybank Hot Chocolate". With the purchase of the Welsh Section B stallion "Malibu Park Desire" the stud had a change of direction and began breeding purebred and part-bred welsh ponies. However, with the further addition of another Welsh Section B stallion "Nawarrah Park Lady's Man" the decision was made to concentrate solely on breeding Welsh Section B ponies.
Hollybank Stud currently boasts a total of 8 imported Welsh Section B ponies carrying some of the best UK and Australian bloodlines, and all the ponies at Hollybank Stud have been selected for their excellent type, conformation, movement and temperament, along with some select up to height ponies to add height without compromising quality.
