Ammerdown - NEWS & EVENTS
A very busy few months with highs and sadly lows.
A move to a new property in the area, the lovely Leicester Park - home of Ali and Rob Soster. Stable companions who moved with me are Kate Burgh and Wendy Allen.
Excitement in July with the purchase of the filly Warrawee Partee Time (Royal Hit/W Azzuree) a stunning saddle prospect who through a freak incident is no longer with us. Thanks to Pat Ryan for her care of the filly and Logans Insurance for their professional and prompt attention.
Rothwell Dazzling Dreamer has foaled a very correct and feminine part-bred filly by W. Bandanna I am delighted with her.

Have also been fortunate to have been given by a client, a lovely balanced style of stud book mare approx. 15.2hh. A race winner and proven broodmare with a sweet disposition. She is being sent to the fabulous Heir of Marwan for a 2012 Anglo foal.

Warrawee Mardee Gras had solid performances at the Arabian National Show in November. A win and second in dressage even with few little "Mardee moments!" 2nd in a strong big Anglo class and a placing in the Baskhan Memorial Sash, we were very pleased with how he coped with his first time under lights. Rothwell Dazzling Dreamer has been sent to Warrawee Bandanna to introduce more Arabian blood, for a 2010 foal. |
