Roll on the Horses!

Can't believe it's so long since I posted on this site. We're all a little bit older. Lost one of our mares just last week. Have sold a few most probably since the last post notably Kholonial Frontier to Kathryn Priol.

I treasure my Q buckle from 2008. This year it's a different journey. One for Marty - he qualified Pazzy (Cameo Apassionataa) as a yellow book endurance horse last year and this year is aiming for a Quilty completion/buckle. Pazzy powered through her qualification last year.

Noah (Abrock Noah) now has two 80kms under his belt and one more to reach endurance status. We had a mixed year last year - trying this year to really get into a better rhythm of training with him.

This year has been consistently wetter than I can remember any other year since we have lived at Kholo (about 15 years). The rainwater tanks are full, the dams pretty close to it. The streams in the forestry nearby are all flowing. Paddocks are overflowing with grass and we've slashed/mowed quite a bit. So nice.

Need to get a horse started and going for Tom asap too, he's asking to go riding in the bush (big smile happening here)..... Actually will ring our horse starter right this minute and see if I can get two of the youngsters, now rising four over there this week!
