1996, TB Gelding, 17hh
Qualified 2* Eventer, Medium Level Dressage
We purchased Zoom off the track in August 2003, following a full and successful racing career. The years of training have been both rewarding and challenging. To date his career has been very successful, with many wins and placings to his name. In 2006 we leased him to friend Tessa Merson, she had a wonderful season competing him down south. This gave me a chance to bring on some of the other horses, sell them, and take Zoom back a more established horse. Thankyou Tessa!!
Zoom is a stunning big horse, with eyecatching paces, and a big, bold, scopey jump. There have been times when we have contemplated selling him, but have not been able to go through with it. So, for now Zoom is here to stay, to continue his training at higher level, and to be enjoyed!!!
He is a very special horse!!!

1998, 12.3hh, Welsh Pony
Mochy joined us in May 2010, he is a fabulous little pony that just loves to jump. Jayde's confidence over the fences has increased out of sight since she started on him.
We have taken him XC schooling and he went fantastic, they plan to have their first eventing start at an unoffical event in August 2010 Jayde and Mochy will also be attending pony club and local shows, and I am sure they will be a very successful partnership.
Thank you to Rachel Whiting of Matavia Performance Horses for selling us this super little pony.

Sire: Simonstad xx Dam: Many Kisses xx Foaled 9/12/05
Lucky was born pre-mature, and then got joint ill, after months of nursing, big vet bills, and many tears we did save him against all odds. Most people including the vets advised me to put him down, but I just couldn’t do it. After a rocky and stunted beginning Lucky has matured into a lovely type, with the most amazing temperament.
In 2010 he has formed a great partnership with our daughter Jayde, they will be attending pony club and competing in dressage and jumping and have years of fun together ahead. He has a special place in my heart, and it makes me so happy to see them progressing so well together.

2004, Gelding, 15.2hh
We purchased Gunny as a yearling from Graham & Doris Baumann from Beaudesert, we had previously purchased his full sister “Many Kisses” from them to use as a broodmare. I did all the preparation and pre-training of Gunny, we then sold some shares in him to some friends, and off he went to the track, he is being trained by Garry Wells in Toowoomba.
Gunny won his barrier trial in Mar 08, and in his first prep he had a second, and 2 third placings. We will be chasing a win out of him in his next prep-all going well, he should be back on the race track in Oct 08, following a good spell.
After several placings, Gunny got his win at Ipswich on 14/11/08.
February 2010 - Gunny is still going strong and gained another win in style by 4 ½ lengths at Dalby on 13/02/2010.
What About Brownie

Sire: Admiralty Dam: Lissner Park (Starway)
2001, Gelding, 15.3hh
We purchased Brownie off the track, when he was rising 3, along with his Dam Lissner Park. He spent the first year in the paddock growing up, in 2006 I competed him in dressage with several wins, and also successfully evented him, we called him “Pocket Rocket”. At his first ODE, Warwick World Cup Qualifier he placed 4th, I decided to return him to a racing career towards the end of 2006. I contacted his previous owner /trainer Garry Wells from Toowoomba and proposed that we give him another try. So off he went, back to the track, and he has never looked back.
Brownie had 3 wins, 5 seconds, 2 thirds and 2 fourths, he is home now for a spell, and at 6yo we are unsure if we will return him to a racing career or continue with his eventing career, time will tell. Brownie is a very special little horse with a big heart!!
Congratulations to Garry Wells for doing such a good job training him.
Due to our relocation, we regretfully need to find a new home for Brownie.

Billy is half brother to our successful race horse “What About Brownie”, he is a superb type, with a cheeky and confident personality. We will keep this guy and try our luck on the race track in a few years.
