ADULT PICTURE COMING SHORTLY:- "JET" (as he is affectionately known as he is black) has never
been shown due to lack of time, but he is a miniature thoroughbred type and has movement to burn with a
superb front. He has a lovely temperament and with two other 'boys' around him serving mares, that is
testimont in itself.
I have only covered 1 mare with him as we bought him as a yearling ,but he is now 4 and that was this season with BADEN LODGE PETITE FLEUR who is black and has herself produced some outstanding progeny including Helden Park Petite, who herself was a prolific Royal Show winner,Helden Park Boy Cupid, Helden Park Imprint etc., and is in foal,so I await her foal with great anticipation.........

The dam of Grandeur Applause: Glyndebourne Minelli
I am a HUGE believer in a good thoroughbred mix with the pony as I contribute Explorers success of siring champion ponies,galloways and hacks,is due to the fact that his dam was by Oh Hello who himself sired some champion hacks,and Explorers sire The Laird (Imp) was an outstanding pony not only in looks and movement but also he had a beautiful temperament.

This page just describes a
little bit about the founders of HPS and the history of the studs
success in and around the show ring and the successful breeding lines.
The History of HPS
Helden park stud was foundered
by Helen and Deny Lawrence. The stud was first started about 20 years
ago, owning Woodlands Park previously, Helen had always been around
horses from the time she could walk and her first ride was led around
on a Clydesdale by her father when she was 3 and she still has the
harness with the brass rings that she had hung onto today.Helen and her
twin brother Adrian,weren't allowed initially to have a horse so they
"saddled up" their fathers prize Gurnsey cows and went for rides which
finally pressured him into letting them "save up their pocket money"
and buy a pony.When Helen competed at shows on their Welsh Mountain
pony,Sparkle, she often had to ride miles to the shows before she could
even compete, then ride home again,as she was reared on a dairy farm at
Fitzroy Falls near Bowral on the Southern Highlands miles from any show
ground. When Helen met Deny, she had been breeding horses for quite a
few years and competing at shows, and being a Veterinary nurse with her
own father being a Veterinary Surgeon she had gained a lot of knowledge
from a young age, as well as working for some wonderful clever equine
Vets over the years.Deny was reared at Blackville near Quirindi and was
riding horses about the same age and had competed very successfully at
shows,pony club and camp drafting. Both over the years have had
winning horses in most categories including the racing world.
The stables were up and the
fences were in, now all they needed to do was transport the 60 horses
up from the old property, this included the use of a lot of both
organisation and petrol!. Half the horses were transported and the
others were floated by Helen and Deny.
Once all the horses were up and
in the paddocks, it was time to relax right? wrong! The horses settled
in to their new home quickly, and it was not long before our first foal
was born, these first seasons produced some wonderful foals, including
, Helden Park Cat Walk, Helden Park Model, Helden Park Miss Elite,
Helden park Cover Boy, Uringa Peter Pan, and so on.
