THOROUGHBRED STUD
Only son of Volksraad AT stud in the world; Gr3 Winner - Little Wonder
STUDMASTER ROB LEWIS
Born and bred in the Wanganui- South Taranaki Region.
My parents, more so my father, bred Appaloosa horses, I grew up riding them on hills of back country sheep & beef blocks. He always dreamed of starting a stud with the stallion he had. Sadly before he could fulfil this dream he passed away.
In his memory I went back to horses, the first horse I came across was a retired thoroughbred mare with attitude to boot, but always took care of me.
Along came another thoroughbred and this led me to become interested in the racing industry. I got the bug for wanting to breed a racehorse.
I researched, learnt from, and networked with knowledgeable people in the industry. I have purchased my own property and It is my dream to breed my very own Melbourne Cup winner here.
Located on the outskirts of Wanganui on SH3 at Kaitoke, Regal Fern Lodge has 10 acres of prime, flat land, with a picturesque willow lined stream. The land will be developed into a purpose equine fenced property, complete with loading bay, round pen and yards.
– Little Wonder –
Little Wonder is an impressive bay stallion. Compact in size standing at 15.2hh. He has a temperament that makes handling a stallion look like an easy task. He is throwing this in his offspring. He has good conformation. With a pedigree that’s even better.
He had 22 starts for 6 wins. He won the gr3 Windsor Park Stud Breeders Stakes at 3 years old. He also won the Gr3 Darley Plate and ran 3rd in the Gr1 Sistema Railway Stakes at 4 years old. Due to injury, he retired early to stud.
He is the only entire at stud by Volksraad, out of Shortblackmini. This made him a three-quarter brother to the people’s champion- the mighty Sir Slick. A close relative to Puccini who is still racing in Australia. Also related to Verdi who made an impressive start to his racing career.
Little wonder is a half-brother to the Peter McKay owned and trained Amarula. He has a promising half-brother by Helmet to come through also.
He stands locally at stud, on the outskirts of Wanganui regal fern lodge Ltd with a service fee of $1000 + Gst. This includes a live foal guarantee and multiple booking discounts.
He has made a great start to his stud career, with 100% positive feedback with his impressive sized foals that have hit the ground this year. Secure your booking for the 2017/18 season today and ask if we have a deal for you. We also offer foaling down, and day to day agistment.
