Acacia Ridge Stud STALLIONS AT STUD & YOUNGSTOCK Principal - DENISE DAWSON

HEATHMONT ROULETTE … standing at Acacia Ridge Stud available for live cover to selected mares.

A fantastic stallion with a super temperament, as well as being a stunner, he is a smaller, more compact WB, standing at just over 16hh. He is currently competing successfully in dressage with Verity Hayman. He is by the super sire Royal Hit (Imp) out of imported Danish WB mare, Geilgard Romance II. His oldest progeny are just hitting the competition arena with great success and the owners of his

youngsters all love them. Full breeding on website. He is throwing beautiful babies. Roulette carries some of the top European bloodlines. VALE ….ACACIA RIDGE BRAVO ROMULUS...RIP Beautiful Boy.

17hh warmblood stallion by Northern Romulus our FEI dressage stallion (by Falkland Victory out of an Arnhem, Flaneur mare) out of Lima Echo who is by Heath Ryans stallion, Salute and out of a TB Precipitation mare (a TB line much used by Heath and other breeders to infuse top TB jumping lines into their eventers). Metallic chestnut with lots of chrome, very uphill, three top paces, with very elevated canter, has done very well from limited outings always placed or won at dressage and showed much style SJ. Very bold jumper with excellent style. Oldest progeny are now rising five year olds and are starting to make their mark on the competition scene. Jane Cafella with AR Beaujolais, just starting their career and placing very well in dressage, Jane is also going to jump him as he has fantastic style. Fiona Heysen has a stunning chestnut filly which she is thrilled with. Rebecca Foster has a chestnut gelding who will be out this season, Caitlin Keith also has a rising five year old filly by Bravo who she is delighted with and will be eventing this season. AR Bianca is doing very well at Novice dressage, with lots of wins and is about to start jumping as well. Bravo's babies have fantastic temperaments and are all naturally "uphill". We look forward to seeing many more out there competing in coming years. Youngstock, from weanlings to 4yos under saddle usually available - check website www.acaciaridgestud.com.au

Our emphasis is on breeding correct comfirmation and movement, with temperament being of utmost importance. Our youngstock are foal indented and are all very people friendly.

AR Rio and Verity did very well on Sunday, despite having not much preparation due to Easter and work commitments. Won both their Novice AOR classes with 69.135 and 68.047 and a second in the open. Thanks to DCSA for running another super day and thanks to all the volunteers who make these days possible. Thanks to Alixandra Bell Designs for the lovely photos.

Verity and Rio did a super clinic with Peter Decosomo this week, some quite different coaching but Rio and all of the others I observed were working much more softly by the end of the 3 days. No action shots as I videod.

Verity Hayman and Acacia Ridge Rio had another very successful outing to Cromwell Park today for two wins in AOR Novice and second overall in the 2.3 with a 67.6% and 66% in 2.2.
It was super to have the added experience of interstage judges. They won both their Novice tests at SVDC last weekend with both tests scoring over 70%. They have had very limited outings todate but hopefully lots more to come 🦄🦄

Is so lovely to be back riding and having some fun after my 5 year hiatus, my back surgery has been very successful. I am also very happy that I didn't sell Bacardi, she is Bravo's last foal, I competed her half sister, Bianca, who was his first foal until my back gave way. Nothing like a 77yo on a big young redhead but she is a good girl🦄

AR Rio and Verity, were very busy at comps while I was in South Africa. Successful at the State Champs, being Res AOR Champ in the Prelim then moved up to Novice the following weekend for two very nice tests, winning both AOR classes and 2nd overall with over 69% in both, not quite cracking the 70%. although the interstate judge had her on 72.3 % and 71,25%. They are moving ahead in leaps and bounds at the moment, elementary coming up soon. Well done Verity, hard work is all paying off. Had a few hurdles with rider and horse accidents last year but fingers crossed it is full steam ahead now.
