Update on the boys club 🤣

Shadyoak Brampton (Joey)
Shadyoak McLaren (Oscar)
Shadyoak Maverick (Hughie)

All growing like mushrooms.

Joey is a monster! And insists you pat him. NOW!
Oscar still has a helicopter parent. He will be available for purchase upon weaning.
Hughies favourite thing to do is gallop around neighing just for the fun of it.

Shadyoak Maverick & Shadyoak McLaren. One's a bruiser and One's a dainty critter, just like their dams.

Shadyoak Stirling aka Lewis has had a busy summer.
He arrived at my place on Boxing day and today we went on his first outing to ARC grounds and had ride number 4!!! and our first canter!!!

Can't fault the temperament on this one. He did do a short show prep in a professional stable last year so he knew about rollers and lunging but he's been the cruisiest dude to work with. Thanks to Stewie Robinson for giving him such a solid foundation for me to work with.
I hadn't broken one in for 12ish years so he's put up with me muddling my way along 😆

Probably get another week or two then get turned out until he turns 4.

He was gelded late last year, not a decision we made lightly but he was a super temperamented c**t but we didnt want to campaign a c**t. We did however collect some semen for our own use. So we may one day see some of his babies too.

He was "Elite" assessed by ACE as a foal so once he is jumping in a year or two we'll get him assessed again and upgraded.

Today's ride...

On Sunday we said "See You" to Floyd who has found a new home with a young eventer.

He was just going to be toooooo big for me. He turned 3 on Saturday. He'd be 15.2 and a touch bum high still. And he was wide. And deep. And just a unit of a horse for a 3/4 NF pony!
Plus we now have 6 young ones 🤦‍♀️🤣

We look forward to following his progress and seeing him out hopping logs in a few years.

We've been to Werribee PC HT Grade 4. Dressage & SJ ok. Clear XC

"Go have a sit, I think you'll like him" said a friend.
And like him I did 😁

6 weeks in and we've done the grade 4 at a local CTD for 🥈 and had a fun time XC schooling.
He likes to jump. A lot 🤣

Yet again a looong time between posts. As we all know life gets busy. Very busy.

Vinnie has gone home to his human after I decided that 16.2 was just too big.
But...see next post 😉

Lily is due to foal in 60days.
Orange is due early December
Pattie is due between Xmas & NYE and is fatter than the other two 🤦‍♀️ Land Whale.

Floyd has completed his 2 year old handling, tying up and float loading.

Angus is weaned and learning that ropes aren't snakes. Being helped with his learning by 26 year old Uncle Ant 💜💚

17/05/2025

Been a while between updates.
Lots of training happening with Vinnie at home while life on the farm is very busy and getting to comps tricky.
Three foals by Bain Park Eldorado due later in the year.
Pretty Hill Adelaide due late September
Shadyoak Finesse due mid December
Shadyoak Picturesque due late December
Two year olds are growing growing.
Floyd would be close to 15.2 and he's 3/4 New Forest!
