Barwon View Stud

Producers of quality Shetland Ponies

I am a third-generation Shetland Pony breeder. My grandmother, Mrs Betty Myers, founded Pentland Shetland Pony Stud in Ballarat and my aunt, Annette Currie, produces Shetlands and Miniature Ponies through her Twin Acres Stud, also in Ballarat.

I began my stud under the El Jayem prefix in Ballarat, but halted my pony breeding program after getting married, whilst my ponies were cared for by my long-suffering parents, and I moved around the state with my husband for a few years. We have now settled on a property called "Barwon View" on the banks of the Barwon River at Winchelsea, so have re-commenced breeding under this new name.

We have now also purchased an Arabian filly, Fenwick Phaedra, to be the first future broodmare for our new Barwonview Arabian Stud.
