OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Icewood, we focus on two qualities when we breed: proven performance and correct conformation. We believe that these are the key components in any exceptional horse and that 'form' absolutely 'follows function'. We endeavour to produce top quality horses that are just as competitive in a Campdraft final as they are in a Royal show class. We believe that our current band of mares and progeny show we are headed in the right direction.

Icewood is also dedicated to preserving the bloodlines of the heritage Australian Stock Horse. Whilst we have a small injection of Quarter Horse blood in some of our stock, you will find the majority of our home-bred foals are of 'Foundation' Australian Stock Horse blood. This makes our horses attractive export prospects, whilst still allowing purchasers to cross our proven lines with Quarter Horses of their choice. Our current stallions offer both traditional and modern bloodlines to discerning breeders. mares progeny

"The Australian Stock Horse is intelligent, with courage, toughness and stamina, and has a good temperament. The Australian Stock Horse is considered possibly the world's most versatile horse, having evolved through selective breeding in response to the demands of the environment."
