We have all had a very difficult winter.  Here in the Central Highlands(1210 meters above sea level) the rain & freezing weather has taken its toll on our cattle & horses alike. Despite spending a fortune on feed & doing our best with shelter, we are all the worse for wear.

We lost our extremely special top ten Australian Champion stallion River Oak Impose at the ripe age of 13, despite being rugged, stabled, well fed & loved he still succumbed to the freezing conditions. He is irreplaceable. Alison Knihnicki purchased (before Impose died otherwise I would not have sold him) a very special colt Newbury Super Impose, he will do well for Alison.  She is keeping him entire and perhaps down the track we can use him. We do have a filly & a colt here to continue & of course we have River Oak Issima who is his 3/4 sister.

On a brighter note our new pony stallion has settled in well .we will try to get him out to some shows after Christmas, in the meantime we will be be breeding him to a couple of our very special broodmares. will be looking forward to the results next spring.

Newbury Zalima (- Arabian Park Egyptian Queen x Cherox Zalam) a sister the the 2009 shazada / heavyweight tom quilty winner has foaled a stunning colt x Simeon Segel (Anaza Bey shah)  with extreme presence & beauty, showing every bit of the quality of his pedigree.

He will be for sale on weaning.

Newbury Bandina (Banretta Cascade xRiver Oak Impact) has foaled a very special filly by Cherox Najiib. We will be retaining this filly.
