We are getting a huge number of enquiries about foals this season.

As a result, we are sharing the small number we still have available.

These foals are particularly exciting, with many being the first progeny from our recent imports—bringing completely new genetics into Australia.

If something catches your eye, don’t hesitate to reach out.

We are absolutely thrilled to receive this stunning pencil drawing of our beautiful Pippi Longstockings.

This incredibly special piece was generously donated and brought to life by the very talented Sharon Dawson.

This portrait was awarded as the prize for winning Supreme Champion Donkey at the DABSA National, making it all the more meaningful to us.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most special prizes we have ever received. Not only is Sharon an exceptionally gifted artist, but she is also a dear friend of over 25 years — which makes this even more special.

To have Pippi captured so perfectly in this way is something we will treasure forever. This portrait will hang proudly in our lounge room as a daily reminder of a very special girl and an even more special friendship

If you would love one of your own animals captured forever, we cannot recommend Sharon highly enough — you can reach out to her via the link below.

There’s a kind of love you can’t explain… only feel.

When a foal chooses you — not for feed, not for habit — but simply to come and lay beside you in the paddock… that’s something different. That’s trust in its purest form.

Our foals are handled daily from the very beginning, building that quiet confidence and connection — so these moments aren’t forced, they’re natural.

No fences, no pressure, just quiet moments on the grass, breathing the same air. A gentle head resting close, soft eyes watching you, completely at ease. It’s a reminder of why we do this — not just for breeding, not just for showing — but for these connections that run deeper than words.

Moments like this don’t ask for anything… but they give you everything

The newest little man to be born at Malakai is something else

Out of our recently imported Feather Ridge–bred jenny and sired by Heikens Arc Clint Mar, this tiny package is something else .

With the straightest of legs and that natural presence, he’s showing all the signs of serious quality from day one.

Very excited to watch this little man grow
