horses bought update

Due to the retirement of our friend Jorge, all his horses are up for sale.

This hase given us a one off opportunity to purchase some Paso Fino and Paso Creole horses and expand the bloodlines of our stud.

Last year saw the addition of Capricho (grey Paso Fino stallion) and Chewie (grey Paso Fino gelding). Since then, we have added the mares Zara (aka Zarzuela, pure Paso Fino), Gitana (Andy x Paso Fino), Guardaraya (Andy x Paso Fino) and Esperanza (Paso Fino).

Two more recent trips added a Paso Creole gelding, Tequila and several mares. They are She Raz (Paso Fino), Triguena (Paso Peruano x Paso Fino), Bailarina (Paso Peruano x Paso Fino) and Chica (Paso Fino).

As a result of these additions to the stud, we have decided not to join any mares this season. We still have a number of Saddlebred horses and some Paso Creole geldings to sell, before we will consider breeding again. However, our Paso stallions are available at stud.

horses sold update

This is a long overdue update!

The main webpage is still in need of updating, please check back there in a couple of weeks or so. Once I have finished exams, I am going to post the new prices for the horses still on the sales listing.

We have sold Don Carlos NS. He went to a family in Canberra, where he is being spoiled rotten. He's been to the recent David Lichmann clinic, and Claudia and Jaqueline seem to generally have a fun time with him.

Just sold is Narrawin's Midnight Escapade (aka Laura). She is heading to Western Australia, where she will be part of Old World Horses. She is joining another Narrawin bred mare at that stud, Narrawin's First Lady.

Laura

We still have a half sister to Laura for sale as well as some other very nice Saddlebred horses. As we are winding down that side of our stud, some of these horses are offered for very good prices. Among them a mare and two really nice stallions by the imported Romantic Contract (dec'd). He didn't sire very many foals while in Australia, so here is a one off chance to secure that bloodline for your stud. Romantic Contract (aka Leo) wasn't just a beautiful horse in his own right. He was also one of the best bred Saddlebreds to come to Australia.
