Happy New Year to all.  
We were delighted to be contacted in November by
Jenny Exton and her daughter Jess. They are the new
owners of 7y.o gelding Loraley Pike whom we had sold
as a weanling. Jess apparently loves Pike and has been
doing lots with him including pony club, jumping and
dressage. They sent us these recent photos. We loved
hearing from them, will keep in contact and wish them
well . We hope the partnership of Jess and Pike
continues to grow.

Here are some foals born
September. 2 beautiful fillies out of
the full sisters Loraley Radish and
Noel's Blue.
We were monitored for Equine Influenza by local and DPI vets during September and October and then
vaccinated in December and early January. It was a huge compliment to us that every team that came
commented on the wonderful temperament and good manners of our horses.
Graham is the president of
Gloucester Branch of The
Australian Stock Horse Society and
Kim is once again treasurer.
