Hall's Stock Horses: Campdrafting Royalty!

Hall's Stock Horses, situated at "Lightview" 12 km east of Goondiwindi, Queensland, is the home of Terry and Christine Hall and their three campdrafting stallions, Hazelwood Conman, Hazelwood Showman and Hazelwood Taylor Made.

Hazelwood Stud was also the home of the legendary mare Hazelwood Romance who was considered one of the best campdrafting mares Australia has ever seen. Read Romance's story here.

Both Terry and Christine are not only great horsemen and campdrafting competitors but are passionate teachers of the sport. Over the past 30 years they have also developed a proud tradition of producing top class campdrafting horses, capable of performing at the highest level of competition.

The Halls are regarded as the "first family of campdrafting" right across Australia and along with their children, Jane and Ben, have won every major event in the sport. Terry is the only horseman to have won the Triple Crown: the Warwick Gold Cup, the Chinchilla Grandfather Clock and the Canning Downs Draft. He has also won the World Championship Draft at Sydney Royal no fewer than three times. While Christine has won the prestigious Canning Downs Draft as well as the World  Championship draft at Dorrigo in 1991. Like Terry, Chris has many titles to her name. Ben Hall is a chip off the old block and amongst many other achievements, has now won the Warwick Gold Cup three times.

This breeding season is your chance to share in the Halls magic and success, by breeding your mares to their elite stallions, who are undoubtedly campdrafting royalty!

Hazelwood Conman

Specifics

11 year old, 15.1hh, bay, Australian Stock Horse stallion (Dogwood Comet x Hazelwood Romance)

Why he's on the A-list:

A truly great sire needs three things: a great pedigree; a successful performance record of his own and proven progeny. Hazelwood Conman has all of this and more!

Conman’s achievements are endless, with 33 wins and 64 placings, including:

• Warwick Stallion Draft Champion, 2008

Hazelwood Showman

Specifics

10 year old, 15.3hh, bay, Australian Stock Horse stallion (Semipalantainsk x Hazelwood Romance)

Why he's on the A-list:

Bring together a Champion Thoroughbred Stallion, Semipalatinsk, with a Legendary Stockhorse mare, Hazelwood Romance, and the result is the outstanding individual - Hazelwood Showman. A quick learner with an easy temperament, Showman learned to watch cattle early. Showman brings back to the Australian Stock Horse the influence of a Champion Thoroughbred.

Born with a famous half brother in Hazelwood Conman, Showman continues to have a very successful drafting campaign, with one win and 11 placings in Campdrafts – this includes a runoff for Novice at Boggabri (second Place), and eighth in the Open also at Boggabri. His progeny have also been showing outstanding potential on the Campdrafting scene.

Hazelwood Showman was also bred early with Polocrosse enthusiasts and his progeny have only just started coming out to play.

Showman’s progeny have also hit the mark at Landmark sales and have averaged $14,000.

A very talented youngster, Taylor Made was quick to learn whatever was asked of him. With loads of natural speed, Chris and Taylor Made won a total of 21 drafts along with securing 49 placings.
