Our gangly yearlings were bought in for a quick picture of either side and front on……yes that’s right late registrations again 😂 B. Manaia (Arawa Commodore X Arawa Marama) and B. En Vogue (Arawa Commodore X Ballytruckle Ophelia)

Arawa Marama (Tireinon Cadet imp X Sunny Brae Marigold) has done it again!

Another stunning palomino filly by Arawa Commodore; a huge congratulations to Lori on the safe arrival of this special filly.

3 yo B. Patience (Arawa Commodore X Ballytruckle Grace S.O.D Millcreek Valiant) played baby sitter to B. Royal Jubilation (Arawa Commodore X Cwmkaren Duchess imp AU) as she was ridden out for the first time in the indoor.

I took the opportunity to give ‘Patsy’ a lunge and playtime with the ball while Steph rode Jubilation around. Both were super and seem to enjoy their stint out of the rain today!

Last mare served for us for this season. Next year we will hopefully have two Brackenleigh mares foaling, those being Brackenleigh’s Royal Sovereign (Arawa Commodore X Cwmkaren Duchess imp Dec) and Brackenleigh Applause (Bolgoed (s) Merry Madog imp UK dec X First Salvo TB dec).

Pictured here is Applause AKA Bazil, after we inseminated her with WB semen by FloreNZio. Bazil is one of two horses I would ride anywhere, any day, whatever the weather.

Excitingly we can announce that B. Royal Sovereign has had a positive scan to Eryri Barcud Coch (Gwynfaes Culhwch AI X Ardachy Mary SOD Llanina Morning Blaze imp UK).

With a blessing of fillies to keep, by Frodo, means that sadly Frodo has done his job and now we must outsource stallions, and what a fantastic stallion Barcud Coch is with true welsh character and movement that we are able to outcross to. Thankyou Emily for your diligent breeding programme.

Bazil is hopefully carrying a replacement for the Theatrical family, however if it’s a c**t I am sure it will be just as super as the siblings B. Frank Sinatra, B. Lumiere, and BSH Theatrixs. I think however I have probably jinxed it with already having a filly name picked out, BSH Encore.

Never fair for Frodo as he has had a full book of outside mares this season. So far he has been his usual one hit wonder for his positive scans. While his duties for us are over, he is and will always be here with us……which reminds me there are actually three horses I would ride anywhere, any day, any weather.

On the grounds today there were 6 Brackenleigh/BSH Horses, 5 by Arawa Commodore and 1 by Black Minstral, and bred between ourselves and stud partner Mandy Harrington.

They represented 5 of our female lines at the stud with those being the ‘Royal’ family, the ‘fashion’ family, the ‘virtues’ family, the ‘Welsh’ family, and the Theatrical family. It was certainly great to get a family snap today.

Definitely one of the best crops of yearlings, growth and development wise, since we started leaving them on mum for 12 to 18 months. This is B Manaia, our barbie horse

14/11/2024

Despite a very wet start to the day, to the point I really didn’t care that we had green poo stains on all three mares after floating them to Christchurch A&P Show, we had a great day training wise.

We took B. Royal Sovereign, B. Patience, and B. Couture. Royal Sovereign won the adult C or D adult, in a strong class, while Patience won the youngstock and champion purebred youngstock. Couture behaved very well and stood second in the youngstock class.

I must admit as I get older I take so much enjoyment out of seeing them progress in their training, which showing is super for.

Patience will now have a break from showing while we finish backing her, which means B. En Vogue and B. Manaia will have their turn in the ring.

I have to give a big shout out to Steph for dragging me out to all these competitions, as it’s nice to be taking out the youngstock for education.

It’s been so long since we properly campaigned anything that a) we still haven’t unpacked/located the show gear since moving from Hanmer, and b) Steph has shown us that since then there are way better products 😂.

Today it was Patsy (Arawa Commodore X Ballytruckle Grace S.O.D Millcreek Valiant) turn to take the wide at Wi******er spring show, with Couture taking reserve.

We were all too busy nattering to remember to take many photos but here she is the day before and then today.

25/09/2024

We took Ms Long and Lanky, B.Patience along with B. Couture to Brecland Show. Both came home with some red’s and blue’s, however not their day, however the lessons learned have been tremendous.

B. Patience is really not at her best for showing, she has a huge frame that needs time to mature, like all Commodore babies.

She has begun her journey to saddle and we both agree ‘she is a chip off the old block’ and can’t wait to produce her under saddle.

We were very pleased to see the old man showing off today. Over winter he dropped a huge amount of condition for him, despite ample feed, and just generally looked flat.

Aging is a bu**er isn’t it, Frodo since a baby has always flushed on good grass, even when he was in competition work he had to have grass as no amount of feed would condition him like grass.

Now that the spring grass is shooting, so too has his condition, and the spring is back in his step. This winter has certainly been a hard one with constant days of dull overcast days, rain and varying cold temperatures.

In 6 days time he will be 18 years old, and I wonder where the time has gone! However days like today are magic to watch, as all the years of training under saddle have certainly made him one super moving dad…..with a dad bod, and a lot more grey hairs 😂

Great day out at Pegasus Riding Club show for B. Couture (Arawa Commodore X Ballytruckle Ophelia S.O.D Cwmkaren Beaufort Express imp). Second outing for her second champion ribbon, and Steph did a great job of showing her.

Other Brackenleigh and BSH horses there were Brackenleigh’s Royal Popstar (Black Minstral X Brackenleigh’s Royal Gala S.O.D Brackenleigh’s Dawnsio Gwyllt) who also came home for a championship for stud partner Mandy. And BSH Rataxus (Black Minstral X TB) who for his second outing was a bit tense but did some lovely work despite that.

2yo Filly B.Couture (Arawa Commodore X Ballytruckle Ophelia S.O.D Cwmkaren Beaufort Express imp).

Coco pops came in for some pre-season love today.

10/08/2024

It was with great sadness that we set Kia Kaha Fairytale free on Friday; free from pain and free from a life that no longer caused her joy.

A profound mare that touched many people, however this picture encapsulates her pure joy and love in life, her children.

A huge Thankyou to our one and only vet Dawne for leading her safely to the arrival of her last filly foal, and for helping her end her pain so sympathetically.

However I more-so wanted to thank Daf for ensuring a dignified end for this little mare, as I was away, while he also said goodbye to one of the original riding school mares at the same time, at the grand age of 25.

With that I leave you with a song fairy, like I do all our Brackenleigh family. Fly high, may your tail no longer swish in confusion. Our thought are with the Taylor family, and Rochelle and family.

Riz

We did some float training with Riz AKA (Brackenleigh’s Happily Ever After) last week. This was in preparation for her big trip to the North Island. This training session was about stepping up and backing off the ramp. Yesterday she loaded like a pro, and then early this morning loaded like a dream on the transporter….I always worry about the babies on long haul. See you later, our little ginger ninja. Certainly won’t be the same without your larger than life personality around
