Kat (Kyabra One Smart Cat) a great video - thanks Nat, that shows the movement of Kat's impending foal by Peptos Stylish Oak. We are about 11 weeks today from actual due date. Fingers crossed for a healthy bub. As we are breeding to PSO again this year, will be taking EOI for this foal.

Over the past approx. 10 ten years and my re-involvement with horses, I have felt disheartened by trainers, stallion owners, vets etc, to the point in 2023/4 I sold my property and all horses (except the first foal we bred - ColorFX Smart Little Dude) who is with my son and granddaughters.

I must admit, I missed the horses and in November 2024 I looked at a Nutrien auction as one of the mares I sold (but didn't want to) was up for sale. I also looked at other mares on the same dispersal sale and actually bought Kat (Kyabra One Smart cat) from Ricky Glen (Velvet QH Ranch) and what an amazing mare. 2 days after the sale she foaled to Sorta Smooth and we had a c**t (Diesel) - ColorFX Cat Sorta Special. Before Kat and Diesel came home, she was put in foal to their stallion Peptos Stylish Oak and will be again when she foals this year.

Kat is at Nat's (a great person who helps me look after her) and really does look after her.

Diesel who is now with our amazing trainer Nathan Morgan and Sandi Kemp for some handling/training and then growing out before he is trained with a focus on competing. They took on ColorFX Smart Highbrow and fixed the f of the past trainer, and I can only say how great they are.

Then last month I bought a mare Boo (Boobook Royal Spin) from Robert F Ferguson, what a GREAT breeder and a person who truly cares for his horses and I'm blessed with this mare who will come to us in January 2026 (when she has foals to and been put back in foal to Bookbook Tuff Spin - Palomino stallion)

Then there is Leanne Haywood - owner of the well performed stallions Ima Smooth Blue Cat (had a previous foal to him) and Aristo Tuff (also had a mare in foal to him that I sold), but Boo's foal this year will be a grandbaby of Tuff's and how helpful she has been and I know she has also been "stiffed" by others.

These people have re-instilled my faith in horse people, and to each of these people - THANKS HEAPS. I also really need to thank my son who helps me and while he raises the eyebrows at times supports what I do and actually encouraged me to get involved again.

The next step in Diesel's (ColorFX Cat Sorta Special) journey has started. This morning, he left with & to undertake more handling training. He wasn't impressed with me (I held him while he was branded on Thursday) but within 10 minutes he was haltered and standing with Nathan. He was walked out of the stable and down to the gooseneck - Nathan stood on the ramp and then Diesel put one foot on then the next and he was in (video attached) and he stood next to his travel buddy - a mare they bought down with them.

After past experiences, I have absolute trust in Nathan and you could see how gentle he was and how quickly Diesel trusted him

The journey begins

Just thought I would post a couple of images of the stallions we have foals due by this year and will repeat for 2026 foals as well.

Peptos Stylish Oak (IMP/EXP) speaks for himself - a true champion with in-excess of $4.0m in progeny earnings - Bay Roan who has produced Champions. BY Peptoboonsmal from Moms Stylish Kat Owned by Ricky Glenn (NSW).

Boobook Tuff Spin (By Aristo Tuff from Spins Lady Moore (Docs Spinifex breeding)) a young stallion who starts his competition this coming year, and this is his first foal crop.

The foals will be EOI, with Kyabra One Smart Cat in foal to PSO and Boobook Royal Spin in foal to Boobook Tuff Spin (Boo). If Boo has a pally filly will retain.

Big couple of days for Diesel (ColorFX Cat Sorta Special) with his weaning starting, feet trimmed yesterday (4th time) worming and today branding. This special young horse was a champ for all of it. Have to thank for talking about how special she thinks he is, which that and watching him over the past month/s and handling - he is being kept and at this time as a c**t. He leaves Saturday to go with and for training and when ready Nathan will break him in and campaign him for cutting - and I know what a brilliant job he will do, what he did with Smarty was brilliant. Also measured yesterday and 13 1/2 hands at 8 months of age. I'm thrilled I have decided to keep him and when his dam (Kat - Kyabra One Smart Cat) in foal to Peptos Stylish Oak and Boo (Boobook Royal Spin) in foal to Boobook Tuff Spin (by Aristo Tuff) have foaled will look at expressions of interest on Kat's foal and Boo's (unless she has a pally filly, as that will be retained). Diesel what a champ and looking forward to our journey together .

Just thought I would share a video link and image of the handsome stallion Boobook Tuff Spin who is the sire of the foal to Bookbook Royal Spin and who I will use as a sire for a foal again next year from same mare. This stallion is rising 4 year-old and will be starting his competitions soon. This will be his first foal crop. Anyone Interested in breeding to him should contact Robert F Ferguson (0435752251) (Goombungee (QLD about 40 mins from Toowoomba, he has been AMAZING to deal with.

Link to video - what a stunner and so thrilled to be having one of his first progeny https://youtube.com/shorts/-WY9DP0IHQg?si=3neOufxBDqGfH9eM

Well, I thought one mare was enough, but I couldn't pass up this beautiful mare - Boobook Royal Spin (Boobook Royal Catt (Sophisticated Catt by High Brow Cat from Sirrocco Spin by Docs Spinifex) and she is in foal to Boobook Tuff Spin - picture (by - I'm thrilled as I had a mare in foal to Tuff but sold her out of a Docs Spinifex mare). Foal due 12/12/25, fingers crossed for healthy pally filly.

So, this year we will have two foals, this one and one out of Kat (Kyabra One Smart Cat) by Peptos Stylish Oak.

I would appreciate some help in gaining a paddock name for Royal Spin - just comment please

Well, we have made the decision to sell Diesel, as I have the opportunity of purchasing a mare in foal, and keeping Diesel as a c**t (which I wanted to do), isn't that easy currently. His details :

COLORFX CAT SORTA SPECIAL (Diesel) - c**t
AQHA: Q-104086 BORN: 18/11/2024
SIRE: SORTA SMOOTH
DAM: KYABRA ONE SMART CAT

This weanling c**t has a double cross of High Brow Cat (both sides), Smart Little Lena both sides) and Peptoboonsmal (sire) and Docs Freckles Oak (dam). His sire made the Equistat Junior Sire statistics in 2024 and is producing some great progeny. Diesel has great moves and a brilliant stop for a young c**t and his breeding shows the quality. He is getting ready to be weaned (now and branded 23/7, although can do earlier) but already has been floated, (at least 4 times) wormed regularly and has already had two trims (farrier was impressed with how well he behaved).
Diesel was going to be retained, but with limited space, being a c**t and having two mares to foal this year, more important to find a great home that will compete him. This c**t should mature 14.3 – 15.0. $12K (slightly negotiable) and will be competitive in any cow events. Three of the photos are with his winter woolies. Located Gold Coast but was going to trainer for more handling 26/7 near Oakie (QLD). Picture of dam and sire also included. Please call 0408-207-698.

Well after 5 weeks stabled, due to abscessed foot and small bout of laminitis, can finally let Kat and Diesel into a paddock for the day and stabled at night - hopefully only for the next 5 days. Has allowed me to bond with Diesel and yesterday when I went out it was pouring and I was able to walk out into the paddock and walk up and catch him and walk he and Kat back to stable. Both really starting to look good now. Look at the rump on him. He is a week of 5 months.

02/04/2025

Well, its official Diesel is AQHA registered COLORFX Cat Sorta Special Q-104086. He is now 4 1/2 months old and the 2 photos were taken when he was 4 months old. This c**t will be like mum and be Rabicano as evident with all the white hairs arounds his hips and tail.

Well a lot can happen in 2 1/2 weeks. On the 5th March we took Kat and Diesel into the Gold Coast Turf club stables due to the arrival of Cyclone Alfred in Surfers Paradise. While there she pulled up sore, so had a vet check and two abscesses, 1 in the toe and 1 in the heel bulb. Well 2 1/2 weeks late she is thankfully on the improve thanks to Vet Imy and Gary (Master farrier) and today was the final fitting of her "squishy boot" on the impacted foot. See how well she is walking, a week ago it was really painful and hard to walk. The OTHER NEWS is that while she is in foal to Peptos Stylish Oak and due in 3rd week of November, and was then if all went well to be put to Legendarey their other stallion, we have found Kat is a GBRED carrier and so is Legendarey, so thanks to Ricky and Sue she will be re-bred to Peptos Stylish Oak, so there are no issues with the foals.

What is GBED - Glycogen branching enzyme deficiency (GBED) is a fatal disorder caused by a gene mutation found in the Quarter Horse and Paint Horse bloodlines.

GBED causes abortion in late-term pregnancies, stillbirth or severe muscle weakness and eventually death in newborn foals.

GBED prevents foals from properly storing sugars in the body. As a result, there is not enough energy to fuel the important organs and muscles of the body. This causes severe weakness and other clinical signs.

Genetic testing for diseases is required for most QH and APH horses in breeding programs to ensure healthy offspring and prevent financial loss associated with losing a foal.
