Carluke Arab News 2008

 

 

 

10 June 2008 - Well the last month or so has been very sad around Carluke - We said Good bye to our lovely Nihal Renata ( a resident since 1993) aka Termite  -the mother of Caspa (Carluke Eva-After) and Smokey (Carluke Renato) Termite has gone to reside with the fabulous Debbie Yeo of Cheveaux Park Arabians. We said goodbye to the lovely Taloumbi Lodge Caress - Essy has travelled to Nagambie to live with a very good friend Kat Lock - I believe Kat's looking at showing essy after she has been broken in so looking forward to catching up with both of them real soon. In light of the above we have decided to take Caspa off the market and look at bringing her out undersaddle this year. 

 

4 April 2008 - We took a couple of the old girls out to a Gymkana down the road on 30th of March - Tia was being shown by my very good friend Kat Lock - Kat had never shown a horse in halter before so tia was the perfect school master for her to learn with. Essy also came out for a jaunt. Essy showed like a trouper and was Reserve Champ Led Galloway and Tia was fourth in the same class. After that we came home to kick back. Haven't had enough time of late to do much saddle work with the kids but reakon will have to knuckle down real soon. 

26 March 2008 - Finally we saw the start of a show season again yay!! Well done to all the competitors, organisers and Judges at this years Diamond Show Case. We took Baylee to his first ever show and wow what an eye opener it was for the boy and for us. We could hardly believe how well behave this lad was at his fist ever show. The lovely Debbie Yeo kindly handled Baylee (AKA Bugger) for his first two classes Best headed which he won and then Classic Trot which he was Top Five. Then later I showed him in his colt class for Top Five - It was a very strong field of colts and was very impressed in the way in which he performed. Just needs a little more experience (and conditioning) under his belt to really shine. The next day he capped it off with Champ Egyptian related 2-3 Colt so was a brilliant show for  the young fella who almost didn't make it due to a paddock injury only weeks before hand. It was lovely to catch up with so many people and we are looking forward to showing him further nest season.   

20 January 2008 - As of the 18th of January we would like to introduce to you the newest member of the Carluke family - Sabre 

Sabre comes to us via the lovely people at South Gippsland Animal Aid. 

2 January 2008 - Welcome everyone to the new look website. Not a lot happens around here especially at the moment with no shows but at least were pretty easy to keep track of!!

If you look in on us every now and then, we update pictures when we get a chance.

We have had no babies due this season and are not planning on any for next season, this means we can finish of the saddle work on a couple of the girls and look at getting Carluke Bay-Ali (Baylee) broken in over winter.

Baylee has covered his first girlfriend and we are crossing fingers that she is in foal. Missy is a Arab Riding Pony mare with the most incredible movement, and she has a double cross to AK Sir Halima.  We would like to thank Debbie Yeo in showing so much faith in our young chap and look forward to seeing the results all going well. Stay tuned and we will keep you all updated.
