MEET SAKURA STAR aka Cruise

SAKURA STAR

After a few wasted trips around the place looking for a suitable new gg, i found Cruise a couple of weeks ago. Brown TB mare, just turned 5. We are taking it slowly, as she hasn't done much at all since finishing racing a year ago, but she has got all the goods i wanted in a horse to be my next show hack. Below is a pic taken today at Taurnaga Inhand, where she got Champion in the Adult ring. Was really stoked with her, she didn't put a foot wrong (bar not wanting to get on the float)

She got a first for mare 15.3hh and over, first in most suitable show hack, 2nd in the turnout, and another second for most suitable dressage horse. She is a bit light in condition, and she still hasn't settled in properly. As soon as something changes at the farm, she stresses, hence the weight prob at present.

PICS OF SANDY quite nice photos i thought. She definately prefers jumping over straight dressage, thats for sure. And she is the sort of horse that needs alot of regular work. Far more than i can give her at the moment. Hence have sold her on to an eventor. A lovely lady that saw her advertised when i bought her. She will have a great time hooning around a x-country course, i;m sure. A real shame, because type wise, she was the kind of horse i really like. But as they say, horses for courses.

SANDY - day 2 at home

Day 2 at home in the arena. Photos aren't the best cause my mum doesn't know how to use the zoom. lol. Anyway, back to Sandy. She starts off a bit behind the leg, but once she lowers her head, and stretches over her back, it feels really good. We now have some bend to right, alot better than yesterday, and today we cantered!! exciting stuff. She was very good, picked up the right lead, but quite speedy (obviously a balance issue) Have the farrier coming to shoe her, as she still has racing plates on, and her feet are quite long. So far, all good.

SANDY - By Sandtrap

First pics of Sandy, a lovely mare i just bought today. (hope you don't mind me pinching your photos Gina), obviously don't have any of my own yet. She is such a sweetie. Happily at home, head down eating flat out. lol. Can't wait to go for a ride tomorrow.

Well, Muffie has sold. Has gone to the best home, where she will get lots of love and attention. Really sad to see her go, but Shelly is lovely, and i'm sure she will get the very best out of her.

JAIME - ooops, Motorcross bike injuries OUCH !!

This is what happens when you freak out and use
your front brakes only. DOWN goes the bike and over you go.

JORDYN - the real Fred Dagg of the family.

Jordyn ( 2 1/2 ) found this hat in her drawer that she WOULDN'T wear last summer. Now she's decided its the coolest piece of clothing she owns, lol. AND fast asleep, on the top of the couch.
