winter update

I haven't written a lot of updates lately. Well, it is winter, and like a lot of other horse people, we are sort of in hibernation :-). It's just too wet and cold out there. I feed the horses and promise to spend more time with them soon. Sadly, it also means there aren't a lot of occasions to go riding. But... the days are getting longer and before long, spring will be here!


Meanwhile, we have said goodbye to Armando NS and Narrawin's Romantic Courage, they have gone to their new homes in the Hunter Valley and Western Victoria respectively.

Thanks to Yvonne Lehey, Samba has joined our broodmare and riding horse herd. And in a couple of weeks, I'm picking up three Paso Creole geldings. They will all be started under saddle (after winter!!) and given some work. I'm really looking forward to working with a few new horses again. I'll post details and pictures when I have them.

Despite the horrible weather, we managed to plant some trees for windbreaks. The acquisition of a shiny new tractor resulted in some slashing gettung done around the place, but there are quite a few jobs which will have to wait until better weather, such as spraying and fencing upgrades.

The planned upgrade of narrawin.com has been put on hold until the end of my last semester at Uni, but I have been updating the existing website to keep the sales listing and other horse info current.

The following stallions will be standing at stud for the 2012/2013 season:

• Wildmoor Pilgrim Son - American Saddlebred
• Sovran's Midnight Express (Imp.USA) - American Saddlebred
• Ramirez (aka Shepherd Hill Bruce) - Andalusian
• AuSome Compay - Paso Creole
• Chango NS - Peruvian Paso

For more info, please go to their respective pages, accessible via Narrawin's stallion page.
