A Month Off But Carousel Is Still On Form.

We went off to Rowallan today and Carousel Dreaming rose to all of the challenges thrown at her. She had double clear in the 80cm Open, taking 2nd place. She was double clear again in the 90cm British Amateur Qualifier, again taking second place and qualifying for the second round. In the British Novice, she was clear in the first round. In an eleven horse jump-off, she had the fastest time but dropped a pole. It was still good enough for third place. Laguna Flame also took 2nd spot in the 1m Open.

Magnum Update

Janine Wade has sent more pics of 'Magnum' by AKA Starbuck's Champagne Star. Another handsome chap here and looks like he will be very athletic. Janine tells me he is very playful but has a great temperament.  He will also be a head-turner when he grows up. It's very exciting to see how the babies are all developing.

Pixie Update

The quite lovely, Strenaby Showpiece (Pixie), has really grown too. Her sire is It's Showtyme and her dam is the Sheikh Mohammed bred mare,  White Khes. What a pretty head and lovely, kind eye! She's going to be a head-turner, as if she isn't already!

Another Boy Growing Up.

Recent pics from Rhoni Macdonald show that Crystal Phantom (Casper) by Roundhills Crystal King is growing into a very handsome young colt indeed. You can certainly see his daddy's influence.

Hasn't he grown?

Had a nice email update re LJ Champagne Supernova (Oz), by Champagne Star. How time flies! He is 2 now and so like Laguna Flame. Emma tells me he has shown he is quite a jumper too, having gone through a phase of jumping out of the field.

Alfie's Growing Up!

Here's a pic of Alfie (Incandescent Flame x Piece of the Puzzle). He's growing into a handsome young chap with a bright future ahead of him.

Another Successful Day.

We took Carousel Dreaming and Laguna Flame to Rowallan today and they both jumped really well. Carousel jumped a double clear in the 80cm Open and took 5th spot. She followed this with another double clear in the 90cm Open where she took 2nd spot, a mere 7/100ths of a second behind the winner. Not to be outdone, Laguna Flame jumped a lovely double clear in the British Novice in which he took top spot with 2 seconds to spare. He jumped another lovely round in the 1m Amateur Qualifier but dropped a pole. Nevertheless, he still took 2nd place as there was only one double clear.
