Our Brands

Winter can be a challenge and this winter is proving to be a cold, wet and miserable one!

Bathurst located in the Central Tablelands in NSW Australia, is generally dry in winter, has crisp sunny days and clear skies – one of the reason the season don’t tend to bother us too much.

However, the wet and cold this year is limiting our ability to do much with our horses other than feed, maintain and fence. We were going to wean foals soon but that has proven to be difficult simply because it is so wet and miserable it limits our paddock choices. At this stage foals will not be weaned until the weather fines up.

We have had three new mares arrive;

Penny a WB who is in foal to Picaro (Diosa’s sire) – a PRE due October 2021.

Kismet, PB Friesian in foal to Dirk (IMP) . Due January 2022 I have high expectations for this foal and am hoping for colt and a potential future sire.
