Easter Update

We had a very mild, pleasant summer with not too much hot weather. The worst part were the hordes of large, biting March flies, which generallly turn up some time in January and hang around until late March. The autumn came with a bit of a bang, a sudden onset of cold and wet weather. All horses grew winter coats in a hurry!

The new arrivals from Olivaylle have settled in pretty well, and have had some handling in the meantime. We are planning breedings for several mares in spring/summer of 2012. I'll post an update later on in the year. I think that foaling season in 2013 will be very exciting!

The summer months have seen some horse movements at Narrawin Stud. Ron (Narrawin's Spice Rum) went to his new home on the far side of Melbourne. Speedy (Narrawin's Speed of Light) and Macarena (Narrawin's Dance All Night) now live near Bendigo. Raffles (Macario NS) is headed for Queensland and will be leaving us just after Easter. Rolly (Narrawin's Romantic Courage) will be going to the Western Districts after Easter as well.

The sales listing has been updated. However, I still have not had time to add all the new mares' pictures and information to the stud webpages.

We started some youngsters under saddle over the summer months, and will continue to be working and starting youngsters as time permits during the cooler time of the year.
