"Quality, Temperament, Trainability & Beauty!!!

There is no good reason to accept less"

We are a small stud located at Bunbartha (near Shepparton Victoria). Owned and operated by me (Julie Conti) and my very tolerant family.

It all started when we bred a mare to Gumbanero when he was owned by my good friend Jenny Brittain. The resulting foal was Daydream who went on to be Melb Royal champion warmblood female as a 2yo under the judgement of Mary Hanna.

The opportunity then came along for us to purchase Gumbanero and we jumped at the chance, the rest they say is history!

While Gumby wasn't shown himself, his progeny are speaking for him in the dressage, showjumping and showing worlds.

Gumbanero has since sired dozens of Breed, Agricultural & Royal Champions and Supremes. Not too bad for a 'boy from the bush!' In fact the ratio of progeny:success has him right up there with the best stallions in Australia.

Gumby's best attribute was probably his potent genetic contribution to his progeny. He certainly stamped them!

Amongst his progeny - Dreamtime Oprah & Dreamtime Xzibit are the most recent Champions, winning at the highest levels! We show Oprah & Xzibit in partnership with David Warde of Kinloch Show Horse Stables of Bendigo. They are amassing many Champions and Supremes, with VAS Ltd Hack of the Year over 16hh in 2010, Champion Led Hack SHC Vic and top level awards on their list of success.

Gumbanero's huge moving son Dreamtime Valentino has many Champions and Supremes also to his name and he is only rising 3. He started his success at his first show which was the Magic Breed Foal Show in 2005 when he was sashed Supreme Yearling Derivative Exhibit by the well respected judge Adam King of NSW. Valentino is now owned by Callie James of Coachwood Stud in NSW and has taken all before him on the NSW show scene. Valentino has won Supremes both led and ridden at State & Royal level, with one of his recent memorable wins being Supreme Champion ANSA Exhibit at Sydney Royal Show.

Dreamtime Xzibit is a son of Gumbanero who is just the image of his dad! Owned soley by Dreamtime Park. Xzibit is available to approved mares.

If you happen to see us at a show, feel free to come and say hi !

The kettle is usually on, and the esky is always stocked!

Cheers,

Julie Conti
