Thanks to my friend Jorge de Moya, we now have two purebred Paso Finos at Narrawin. On Sunday, we brought home the grey stallion AuSome Capricho (Don Cristobal Mako (Imp.USA) x La Tentacion Mako (Imp.USA)) and the grey gelding Bachue Bravo (Imp.USA). Jorge is retiring and selling his entire breeding herd, which is made up of Paso Fino, Paso Peruano, Paso Creole and Andalusian horses, as well as some Australian Stockhorses. It is the end of an era. Details here.
Capricho is 5 years old and we plan to start him this coming summer. He will also be standing at stud.

Chewie is an older gentleman with a well developed sense of humour and a liking for wind in his forelock when ridden. I used to ride Chewie a bit when I worked at OliVaylle, so we know each other well :-).

A couple of Paso Creole mares with the AuSome prefix will also make their way to Narrawin in the near future, I will post details later.
Back here on the home front, Flamenca and Samba are starting to look very big indeed, especially Flamenca!
It has been cold, windy and very wet. A bit too wet, but I think we'll have a glorious spring. Even now the grass is growing. Once the weather warms up, it will be fantastic.
