Ruby Crofts and Chagall MI doing a little bit of track excercise. Chagall can be a challenging young horse but Ruby works through his young horse antics like a true professional :-)

Chagalll MI started back at work today after an 8 week lay off. Loosing his gangly, junior look and developing into a stunning, mature horse.
TB punching out some walking on the treadmill.

The very sweet and beautiful Chagall MI, first time under saddle with the brilliant Alexandra Saint John and did not put a hoof wrong. The big old barn doing double duty as an undercover round yard on a scorchingly hot day! Kaptain Kangaroo observing with interest :-)
Introducing our new team horse, Chugall MI. A stunning grey package of beauty and athleticism. Chugall and the magnificent Anglo, AA Rainman (Angus) got up to plenty of hijinks in the back paddocks today. We can add 'trough jumping' to Angus' list of specialties :-)
Miss Tress
Beautiful, tall, long striding lady. So eager to please. :-)
Zemperial treadmill training.
The Zipper hit the hills at Tynong North again today. Eating up the trails with Caley Rees on board.
The man in my life. Zemperial getting in a little treadmill time during this week of very bad weather!
I think it is safe to say this mare is a 'mud runner'. Note the colour of her chest, tummy and flanks - worked through heavy, wet mud and sand today and loved every minute of it. Tough little lady this one!

Training must go on! Despite Antarctic temperatures and fierce hailstorms today we managed to get all the horses worked with the help of Natasha and Ange! Thank you girls for putting up with the most atrocious weather and heavy conditions to ensure our competing horses didn't miss out!
Angus thought he had wangled a day off. Sorry Angus, 18kms trotting up hill instead! Showing amazing heart rate recoveries despite limited fitness at the moment.
Welcome to the team Natasha Maria. Natasha is a Canadian studying Veterinary Medicine at Melbourne University. She will be assisting us with caring for our horses and working on their conditioning. She hit the ground running today with a good ridden session on a rather overweight Saskia. Good job Nash!
