Ramirez has gone on a holiday and won't be standing at stud this season. He is out on lease for the spring and summer to Carlyle Stud near Hamilton.
He will return to Narrawin Stud in 2011 and stand at stud for the 2011/12 breeding season.

On Sunday, we did the long trip over to OliVaylle again, to pick up more horses.
We brought home three mares:
Esperanza had been with us for starting in late 2007, but the last time I saw and handled the other two mares was when they were weanlings, some time in early 2006. They have been running in a large mob since then and only been brought in for routine health care.
The question on how to load three mares, two of which hadn't been handled much, I anwered as usual: it's simple, you open float, put in horses and close float :-) And that's how it went. Ten minutes had all three loaded and from then they stood like angels all the way home. Oh yes, the float was a mess, and needed washing out. But we got home in good time, well before dark and had time to unload quietly and settle them in for the night.
The photo is by Yvonne. She took several more photos of the mares in the yards and being loaded.
