Big Park Standardbred Stud is available to supply Artificial Insemination services for standardbred mares. Big Park has two qualified AI technicians, with Gail and daughter Sheryn Fenton both having passed the AI and Stallion Handling Course at Glenormiston in December, 2007. In July 2009 Gail successfully completed an Advanced Equine Reproductive Management Short Course conducted by the vets at Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital.

We have bred and raced for our own pleasure many horses over the past 20 years. Since June 2006 we have purchased 8 mares; Superior Stature, Highview Goldie NZ, Minerva Reef NZ, Windeena, Hawkette, Milady Veronica, Annbolyn and Seduce to increase our breeding barn to 10 mares, with El Jays Angel and El Jays Belle. Our aim is to breed quality yearlings to sell at the annual Tasmanian Sale. We purchased from the 2008 APG Melbourne Yearling Sale a well bred filly by Western Terror out of Poetry, with the intention of adding her to our breeding barn. We named her It's Only Words and she had a few starts as a three year old but after having a heavy knock in a race was diagnosed with a large bone chip in her knee. We have retired her to the breeding barn.
