Well it's safe to say TEG ODE was not our weekend. Ending with Pippa slipping on some gravel on the flat one fence from home and me on the floor. Luckily great friends made sure I had ice boots, peroxide and drugs back at the float. Thanks team. On to the next one!

Attention breeders. Our season will begin on the 1st of October and run through until the 31st January. If you require frozen semen we can send that to you anytime and we recommend you order it nice and early so it is at your vets ready for when your mare is in season. If you have any questions please give Sarah a call 0439436476

Sunday at Figtree Pocket Eventing State Championships was a great day because the horses went so well and because there were so many wonderful friends and Irish draught supporters who came to enjoy the day with us. Cushavon Fergus and Cushavon Pippa in the 95cm.

The outpouring of love for my dear old friend Conqueror King has been overwhelming. Thank you to the The Irish Draught and Sport Horse Society Australia Inc. for recognising his amazing and enduring contribution to the Irish horse in Australia. We miss him.

Dear IDSHS Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing of Conqueror King RID. King has left an indelible mark on the equestrian community in Australia, and more importantly, on the IDSHS community. Our sincerest condolences have already been sent privately to the Corr family, and now we would like to share this public statement to honour his legacy.

Born in 1995, Conqueror King RID was imported from Ireland by the Corr Family in 1998. Bred by Kenneth and Fulton Buchanan at Coole Stud Farm in Donegal, on Ireland’s west coast, King was sired by The Conqueror RID and out of Coole Atlantic Lady RID.

For the past 26 years, King was the premier stallion at Cushavon Park. His impressive lineage includes fully approved Registered Irish Draught progeny such as Cushavon Kalin Ri RID, Jamison Royal RID, Cushavon Enya RID, Cushavon Keeva RID, and his grandson Cushavon Tiernan Ri RID.

King was renowned for his unbeatable Irish temperament and effortless jumping style. His powerful extended trot and balanced canter were attributes he consistently passed onto his offspring, making him a favourite among breeders and riders alike.

King had an illustrious career in eventing, showjumping, and dressage, along with numerous champion titles in the show ring. His progeny have achieved remarkable success, including Cushavon Crackerjack ISH, who won the Adelaide Two-Star in 2014 with Kirsty Douglas, and three-star horses Conqueror Mick ISH, Cushavon Dolly SID and Cushavon Babeen ISH.

Conqueror King’s influence on the Irish Draught and Irish Sport Horse breeds in Australia cannot be overstated. His progeny, ridden by both professionals and amateurs, continue to excel across various disciplines, cementing his legacy that he was an ideal choice for performance horse breeders.

Considering Conqueror King's significant contributions and the countless years of dedication from Cushavon Park, we believe it is only fitting to recognise the Corr family’s extraordinary commitment to our community. Therefore, we are honoured to announce that Sarah and Sean will be upgraded to life members of the Irish Draught and Sport Horse Society of Australia Inc.

With over 100 registered Irish Sport Horses by King and an unwavering passion for the breed, the Corr family's legacy is woven into the fabric of our society. We extend our deepest gratitude for their tireless efforts and look forward to their continued contributions to our community.

A very big thank you to everyone who took the time to message, call or drop in to see us over the last few days to offer your condolences at the passing of Conqueror King. I always knew how much King meant to me, but seeing the outpouring of love for this horse from Australia and all over the World has been overwhelming. My house is full of flowers and cards. Thank you again. It means the World to all of us here at Cushavon.

First showjumping outing for young Registered Irish Draught stallion Cushavon Tiernan Ri. He was so well behaved and we were so proud of him. Thank you for capturing the moment Blue Ribbon Photography.

Very nice two year old, bay Irish Sport horse filly by Cushavon Kalin Ri out of a thoroughbred mare. Will mature 16hh plus. She will make an excellent performance horse but particularly bred to event. Unfortunately, Fia has developed QLD itch this summer so needs to go to a southern home. Message for price and videos.

We had a great day this week saddle-fitting the horses for the season with Ezra from Shire Saddleworld. If you need an experienced saddle fitter who goes above and beyond to make your horse comfortable give Shire Saddleworld a call.

What a great day with beautiful friends. Finally a nice day out after a rocky start to the year❤️

Conqueror King checking out the damage to his Kingdom this morning. We have had an overwhelming amount of offers for help and we are so grateful for the messages and phone calls. We are still expecting more rain today but everyone is safe.

Arena gone. Paddocks gone. All horses dogs and humans safe.

31/12/2023

Goodbye 2023. Got to spend it with the main man Conquer King and some wonderful friends and family. Thank you to everyone who has supported the Cushavon family and looking forward to a successful and fun 2024.

29/12/2023

Just a little update after what they are now calling a tornado on Christmas night. We have a lot of clean up to do but we are so much luckier than some. Still no power and phone service is in and out but Starlink has been good for the internet. All horses and humans are good. The heat is awful so just trying to keep everyone happy. Sean is amazing on the bobcat and the chainsaw and the rest of the family have been helping out. I still can't believe all the horses survived. The scariest thing I have ever lived through.

Wonderful morning with this great group of ladies at the Cushavon Christmas Party. Thank you for all your support and friendship in 2023. Merry Christmas 🎄
