Well....... It sure has been a long time between updates, slack me!  We have been to a few shows since the spring, and the horses are all going really well.  Tui has been very consistent in the saddle hunter ring, with Champion at Clyde mini show at Labour weekend, and champion at Wyndham early in December.  Milton was also great, winning the turnout and 2nd in the open paced and mannered, always a great class to do well in!  Grace had her first outing at Labour weekend, Clyde, and was fantastic, winning the paced and mannered, much thanks must go to Jade Fleming who did as always a super job riding her.  Pero jumped really well, winning the 1.05m gamblers stakes and placing 2nd in the 1.05m round the ring.  Grace then went to Wyndham as her first A&P, and was once again well behaved, winning some ribbons in the hack ring, again with Jade.  Jade then jumped Cougar in the 90cm SJ, for one rail at Wyndham, and a great double clear at Milton

We have had 2 lovely foals born, both by Lena's Playboy.  A chestnut (possibly to go grey) filly out of Blackfoot and a bay also possibly to go go grey filly out of Blackie.  Will be super exciting to watch these 2 grow up.

We sold Suzanna, the lovely filly by Lena's Playboy out of Blackfoot to Lesley Acutt, of Kaikopakopa, north of Auckland, and Posh, filly by Designer Di Bar out of Blackie to Mimi Atkinson from Ashley, Rangiora.  Hopefully great new partnerships about to start!

The aquisition of 2 lovely thoroughbreds off the track is very exciting - 'Reciprocal' a 6 year old chestnut gelding by His Royal Highness, and 'Cape Le Paul' an 8 year old gelding by Cape Cross.  Watch this space!!
