Michelle Abela, originating from Ireland, founded Faraway Stud in Australia's Victorian mountains in 2014. Our prized Stallions, Red Rocky and Tir Na nOg, were carefully chosen from a selection of over 60 horses in Ireland. Specializing in breeding Gypsy Cobs and derivatives, our farm prioritizes quality and versatility. Each mare is selected for her gentle nature, reliability, and excellence in various disciplines, ensuring the continuation of Faraway Stud's esteemed reputation.
