It's only taken seven years, but with the completion of our front fence, the Halado Park sign is up once more!!!

I may have posted this before, but it is such a comprehensive and well-researched piece on the development of the Lipizzaner breed that I am sharing again. It is free to download.

It has begun...
We got enough spring rain to eventually give us quite a good crop! The rain continues though which isn't going to be great for the hay, but are not complaining from the water perspective either.

After going straight into a hard dry summer last year, the longer we can stay green this year, the nicer it feels.

Last day out in the big paddock for Ischia and Bonadea before relocating to the foaling paddock. Ischia is still holding off... that forecast 10mm of rain keeps getting moved back and she is adjusting accordingly.

Don't forget that we hire out foaling alarms - $30pw plus refundable deposit.

We also have a foaling kit and equipment for high risk foalers available for hire pending availability.

These are long overdue (after a false start a couple of years ago), but we have finally put the next bank of day yards in, giving us a total of five!

They are part of a much bigger ongoing project but will be a welcome addition for training, clinics, farrier visits and as a local evacuation point.

Quick and easy access from the road for floats and trucks.

Hopefully the trees will survive this time! 🤞🌧

Our hay paddock... looking much more promising this year. Not perfect, and still another season or two of TLC needed to get it back to what it was, but it's looking okay.

After an unexpected and hard hitting setback with the flu followed by pneumonia, lessons will finally recommence from next weekend.

Breeding season is upon us and we are keenly awaiting the arrival of our two foals due in the second half of October.

After that, we have some exciting matings planned and, after the prolonged drought, lots of very overdue new fencing projects to give us more much-needed paddocks!

Siglavy Bekescsaba (Valour) is again available at stud both fresh and chilled.

We continue to offer our breeding services like foaling alarm and kit hire, Faecal Egg Counts, freeze branding, local mobile nursing (certified veterinary technician) and of course our historical dressage and rossfechten lessons.
