Spring is in the air! 

Our 3 Resident broodmares 'Illustrious Grace', 'Wynara Lollypop' and 'Ashadatan Park Chance' are due to foal in just a few short weeks to resident stallion Cooper 'Wynara Talk of the Town. We are very excited for his next batch of foals, as our first homebred foal 'Wadelee Cartier' is now a 2yo so it was about time for some more babies. All foals will be offered for sale. They will make superb Pony Dressage mounts, and will also be successful at breed shows and in open competiton. With Cooper's A1 Temperament and fantastic movement they will be sure to bring home some blue ribbons for their new owners. Stay tuned for photos of the foals which are all due in October.

The stud made an exciting purchase last month - it's first Warmblood Broodmare 'Cloud Valley Damzel'. She is a 10yo Arabian Warmblood, she has had a foal to the Horse Deals Stallions issue inside front cover 'Byalee Romance' a couple of years ago, to which she foaled a lovely colt, and we purchased her empty. She was originally sold through Auction of the Stars and this demonstrates her quality and movement. She was served to our 'pocket rocket' Wynara Talk of the Town this week, for a 2012 foal which will be offered for sale. This foal will be at the top of the Pony Dressage leaderboards in the future, and we hope will be successful in the Young Pony Classes. Expressions of interest are invited for this foal and a payment plan may be arranged by negotiation.

Wynara Talk of the Town has been pulled out of the paddock and put back into the Dressage Arena (while serving mares in between) and it's like he never had a day off! I had a break for the birth of my first baby, I foaled a little filly 'Eliza Claire' on Good Friday, April 22nd. She's a 'good doer' and loves her sleep luckily for us. So W. Talk of the Town is enjoying it back out and about doing competitions, we have had a couple of lessons too and he has really matured from having his almost 2 year break. He will be campaigned at this years SA & Vic Welsh Shows, as well as hopefully at the Victorian Dressage Festival. He is available for stud duties this season also, please contact me if you would like to book.

Watch this space for photos of our 2011 Foal crop to be posted as soon as they arrive!

Below is a photo of my daughter in my Saddle at 2wks old, who I think will possibly have a few ponies to ride when she grows up!
