WORANORA STUD WINS THE DINAH CRESWICK NATIONAL BREEDERS AWARD FOR THE WPCS  2006.
We were delighted to win the NSW Section of this award for 2005 and are thrilled to have won the National Award for 2006. This award is calculated from points gained in Welsh classes at each state All Welsh Show by ponies bred but not necessarily owned by a stud. As many of our points were gained by ponies we had sold I wish to publicly thank each of their owners for continuing to exhibit them.



May 2011 - Congratulations to  Jade & Jo O'Brien with W Nina for qualifying for Grand National 2012 as a Show Hunter at the WA Classic.

When I judged in New Zealand in 2009 my Supreme Exhibit was the lovely Three-B Best Girl (imp UK). I am thrilled to have now been able to buy her 7yo daughter, Three-B Super Girl, who is by the Royal Welsh winning Three-B Mandy's Boy (imp UK), a full brother to Best Girl.
