Call Off The Search

Received these pics today from Paul Nicholson, the new owner of Call Off The Search (TP Starbuck x TA Caalicja). She is 93.75% Arabian and is by Performance Arabians' senior stallion, TP Starbuck. She was bred by David Whincup and has certainly inherited the jumping gene, just like TP Starbuck's other stock. Paul informs me that she is now out competing and always in the ribbons. With jumping style like that, it is not surprising! She has just been put in foal to Bey Sadik by Ganemede.

Blame It On The Bubbles (Magnum) Update

Janine Wade has just sent an updated pic of Magnum (AKA Starbuck's Champagne Star x Blame It On The Boogie). He is almost the image of his sire and is going to be equally spectacular once his baby winter fluff is shed.

Belle at 9 months.

Belle is growing fast and is now 9 months. Here are some pics of her enjoying the winter sunshine today.

Back to Normal

Performance Arabians' 2012 filly, La Belleza de Picasso (Picasso Kossack x Rodania Karisma), has made a great recovery, following colic surgery two months ago. She wasn't given a good prognosis when Clyde Veterinary Group operated. They had to remove 19' of small intestine and so many things could have gone wrong. They didn't reckon on a tough little Arabian though and she bounced back without any setbacks. Here she is on her first day of freedom, following six weeks box rest. She has been an absolute superstar throughout and won many new admirers when she was in intensive care. She has been so sensible and accepting of all that has happened. Many thanks to Andrew and Will for saving her and to all the team for their dedication, fantastic levels of care and personal interest in her (and her mum).

Qualified for National Finals

Both Ruby Shy and Laguna Flame had previously qualified for the 2nd Round of the National Amateur Series, sponsored by Dodson & Horrell. The 2nd Round was held today at Kingsbarn. Both of them have now qualified for the finals to be held at Aintree later in the year. They were two of only six clear rounds qualifying today. Ruby is now through in two sections, having secured her other qualification place at Rowallan a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, we won't be able to make the trip as we can't leave the other horses and it would be a tad too expensive, not to mention we are both working and it's a 4 day event. Shame really but that's just life.

Riley's Olympic Flame (Alfie)

Linda Riley has just sent some updated pics of Riley's Olympic Flame, Alfie to his friends, (Incandescent Flame x Piece of the Puzzle). He certainly has grown well and is a lovely sportshorse type. I am sure he will have a great future and we look forward to hearing of his progress.

Strenaby Showpiece (Pixie) Update

Strenaby Showpiece, by It's Showtyme and bred by Alma Darville, is growing into a stunning young filly. Wow!
