For many of us, the horse is a symbol of what is right with the world. In spite of generations of careful breeding, the horse still seems to be a step or two out of the wild. In spite of training and confinement, the horse at a gallop seems to be a step or two from freedom.
—Sharon B. Smith

Here at McArthur-Icewood, we take great care in selecting breeding combinations that will ensure our foals continue to best represent the characteristics of their breed. We strive to breed horses with correct conformation, trainability and an even temperament.

2010 [15.2+HH] GREY ASH FILLY YAHOO IGLOO CADABRA's first Canadian-born, and only purebred ASH foal arrived early in the wee hours of the morning, Tuesday April 20th. We can all but guarantee that this black filly (CONDAMINE GLEN IDOL's first) will have a fantastic, quiet nature, and with her dam at 15.2hh and sire standing 15.1hh, it is likely she will have good size along with good bone. With her sire a proven cow horse, and her dam having excelled in Dressage training, we believe that this filly will be truly versatile, and consequently live up to the Australian Stock Horse motto of 'The Breed For Every Need'. We will be retaining this filly for our future breeding program.

FOR SALE 2010 [15.2HH] FIRST-CROSS ASH BLACK-BAY COLT MUGGLE Our A grade Polocrosse mare, Crafty Kate (known as KD), had a bouncing baby boy on May 4th. Our first colt for 2010, and a bay (maintaining CADABRA's 'no sorrel babies' record), this little guy is very masculine with good bone and muscling.

McARTHUR-ICEWOOD | 2009 FOAL

FOR SALE 2009 [15.1HH] CHESTNUT ASH FILLY YAHOO JILLAROO The first ASH foaled in Canada, born March 15th, 2009 — out of our foundation mare WENONA AMY — YAHOO JILLAROO arrived unexpectedly and more than a week early. "Roo" quickly proved she wouldn't wait to be introduced to the world, wreaking havoc when she escaped her paddock to make the rounds and say hello to the rest of the herd, many of whom did not know what to make of this tiny interloper. This feminine filly is an independent and curious spirit. Friendly, smart and mischievous, she is a bright chestnut with a blaze and high back sock. More photos here | Video.
