Laguna Flame Wins In Style!

Laguna Flame was on great form at the Dalry Farmers' Assoc. Show at Rowallan today. He led from the start in a large Discovery Class and won by 3 seconds. For his efforts, he won a perpetual trophy, has qualified for the Scope finals and notched up his third double clear in the Tri-zone Discovery competition. Leanne is very pleased that she beat Greg Taylor into 2nd and 3rd spots. Greg is a lovely rider and really went for it with the John Jamieson owned stallions, JJs Surefly and JJs Impressive, but wasn't fast enough to catch our little Arabian.

Yet Another Discovery Win For Ruby Shy.

Ruby Shy had another impressive win in the Discovery class at Rowallan today. It was the first outdoor class of the season and the sun was shining, after weeks of rain. This win will probably put Ruby out of Discovery now because of her winnings. Onwards and upwards!

It's a Colt for TP Starbuck!

Congratulations to Stacy McGookin on the birth of a bay tobiano colt by TP Starbuck in the early hours of this morning. TeePee has already sired two full siblings to this colt, out of Rustums Artists Dream (Bunty), the very successful duo, Rustums Scotch Pie and Rustums Rembrant.You can certainly see his daddy in him in the top photo.

Updated pics of Picasso's first filly, Cassi.

Here are some of the latest pics of Cassi, sent by Shirley and Nicky Gray. She looks so cute in her little foal rug.

Picasso's First Colt.

Another foal born last night was Picasso Kossack's first colt. I am delighted to hear from Shirley and Nicky Gray that their second Picasso foal this year, a pure-bred this time, arrived safely last night. It's a chestnut colt and is out of SG Petra. Shirley says he is big, very pretty with a nice white stripe and one white sock.  Hoping to get up to see him and the filly born a few weeks ago as soon as possible. Can't wait!

Baby Boy for Champagne

We are very pleased to announce the safe arrival, in the early hours of this morning, of a minimally marked, buckskin tobiano colt for Janine Wade in Lambourn. The sire is our own AKA Starbuck's Champagne Star and the dam is Blame It On The Boogie, her bay tobiano mare. Janine says he is very leggy and she is absolutely delighted.

Picasso Kossack's Second Filly Finally Arrives.

Our own foal by Picasso Kossack, a pure bred Arab, out of Rodania Karisma (Kerrie) finally arrived last night at 9.45pm. Kerrie kept us waiting, and guessing, as she was 4 weeks overdue. We have a scrumptious chestnut filly who is very friendly and inquisitive. The actual birth was very slick and the filly was up and at the milk bar very quickly. Pics to follow when she unfolds. Currently snoozing in the sun!
