Is your girl branded? If she is, let me know what the brands are and I will be able to confirm her age for you. My girl is still alive (21 years now) and had her last foal last season - I gave her to a friend who breed her to one of my stallions. The foal is just lovely. Silent Hunter sired a...

TVNZ came to the party today and we had live streaming XC action - Yay! So I could watch the whole thing on my poota. Bit disappointing for us but still wonderful to watch and some really classy rounds.

by Silent Hunter? I had a lovely Mamaku bred Silent Hunter mare - bred an absolutely stunning filly out of her. Tragically we lost her this year (April), she was a rising 6yo. I still think she was the best I have bred and can't believe she is gone - We're not far from Mamaku and know the...

Thanks for the welcome guys! Going to try and work out how to get photos in my signature now!!!

When we wean, we have a variety of methods depending on how many foals we have to wean but generally it involves removing the mare from the foal rather than vice versa. In years where we only have one to wean, we introduce a nanny mare or gelding to the mare and foal's paddock a week or two...

Hi everyone, I am new here and as I will most likely be spending the bulk of my posting time in the breeding section, I wanted to say a big g'day to everyone! We run a small sport horse stud in Masterton, New Zealand and stand three stallions. We are a bit of a boutique establishment as take...
