About Melaleuca Stock Horses
Melaleuca Stock Horses are a new breed of horse originally bred in Australian country side covered in
the native bottlebrush trees, hence the name given to the magnificent animals. They are a medium
sized breed ranging from 14.3-16.2 hands in height and are now a recognised breed that derived from
a foundation of Australian Stock Horse, Thoroughbred, and Paint Horse with later introduction of
Knabstrupper and other warmblood lines to introduce enhanced ability in English disciplines. They are
by nature a very intelligent creature with willing and calm mindset, making them extremely trainable
and competitive in every discipline. All horses bred here are registered with the MSHS or more common-
ly known as the Melaleuca Stock Horse Society, this means horses can not have the same registered
name so it is up to you to make sure there are no two horses with the same name. Of course, horses
can have the same call/barn names. There are many colours accepted by the MSHS which include:
bay, chestnut, black, grey, dun on any base coat, roan on any base coat, buckskin, palomino, smokey
black, perlino, cremello, smokey cream, pearl on any base coat, an champagne on any base coat
just to name a few. All appaloosa and pinto patterns are also accepted, as well as all booster genes.
