Our new mare Stonemoor Silver Lady taken when she competed at Peterborough a couple of years ago. She still looks the same now. I am so pleased with her, she has a lovely personality and is a very gentle mare. She has settled in well and is a true example of a perfect Shire mare. She is very easy to work with and is willing to do what we ask of her.
Introducing our imported purebred shire filly, Ddrydwy Bombers Beauty. She was imported with her dam at 4 months of age, making her the youngest shire to be imported into Australia. Beauty has grown a lot since arriving at Luscombe. She will be a teriffic asset to our stud for many years to come.
Cedars Natasha was, during her show career our most awarded show mare. She is a purebred Shire mare with her sire and dam both being imported from England. She has great movement and is very elegant.
One of her foals, Luscombe Joy has done very well at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. In 2007 she won the mare class, beating two imported English Shire mares to take out that honour. We are very proud of her.

Cedars Annabella is a purebred Shire mare, her sire and dam both were imported from England. She is a very large and heavy mare. In her prime she stood 18 hands and weighed more than one tonne. Today she is retired and lives happily in the paddock with the other horses for company. She is the dam of Luscombe Nodram, the tallest horse in the world. Annabella has a wonderful temprement and enjoys our company. She is now the Grand Old Lady here at Luscombe.
Middlecott Victoria was imported in foal in 1996 from New Zealand. She was exported from England a few years prior, to form part of Shireland NZ, along with 16 other English imported Shires. While in NZ she had 3 fillies. When we purchased her, after long discussions with her previous owners, she was in foal the the English imported Shire Stallion, Ruskington Harvester. She produced a colt foal, who has become our stallion Luscombe Whats Wanted. When she was living in England she won many local shows competing in the led classes as well as decoreted harness classes.
We recently lost our beautiful Victoria, she was a wonderful mare who thoroughly enjoyed our company.
