Ok. On a lighter note.
My dry mares with Equilumes masks usually live near the house. They do get them off occasionally, and it’s easy to find them in smaller paddocks. However this year is so wet, a couple of them got bushed across the road into a 70 acre hill paddock, with grass to their knees. Finger crossed they didn’t lose the Equilumes.
Fat chance. Ellie lost hers last night. I said ‘Ellie, what have you done with it?’ She just looked around, and sort of suggested she didn’t know. Ok let’s get looking.
Just on dusk so I could see the the blue light glowing, Milly (the fox terrier) and I went looking. Very slowly on the four wheeler, we crept around. We found the neighbours naughty heifer, marooned on our side of the fence, dodged the rocks and timber, and slipped down to some trees, and there it was, shining in the dusk.
Just about as good as finding the needle in the haystack.
Only some people will understand the magnitude of what I did.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Two foals in two days.
Teach foaled a big strong Cool Aza Beel filly yesterday, a bit scrunched but very strong.

This morning the queen, St Edwards Crown foaled a beautiful big Frosted filly. A wonderful maiden mother, she is loving her baby.

🤍❤️🤍❤️ HI STRANGER - 2022 Country Racing Victoria HORSE OF THE YEAR 🤍❤️🤍❤️

To say we are over the moon, is an understatement. Our little pocket rocket 🚀 has been crowned CRV Horse Of the Year!

A huge thank you to Shane Fliedner and from Fliedner's Racing and of course their wonderful team! For always caring for and loving this little horse as much as we do. They are a team that always puts their equines health and happiness first.

The adventure this horse has taken us on from the beginning, has been amazing.

When Breeders Mario and Jenni Cesnik set off for Magic Millions Adelaide 2018, there was divided opinions - Mario was adament he wanted to keep the (then) C**t, and Jenni, with full conviction was set to sell him….. it’s a long way from Tarcutta to Adelaide.
By Balranald, Jenni capitulated and suggested Mario keep a 10% share…. It’s a long week at the sale, and by the time the hammer had fallen Fleidners racing had purchased 75% of the C**t!

Fortunately Mario’s 6th Sense was completely justified, with Hi Stranger living up to every expectation and then exceeding it!

Jen & Lexi Cesnik were at track work earlier in the year, watching the RD Horses go around, and it was just a wonderful morning to be able to watch stranger do his work. He’s just such a doll.

His Name Sake, another little chestnut pocket rocket, was an exceptional horse who’s career was unfortunately cut short, his owner George Day was a gentleman.

Cannot wait to see what is next for Zoff, and the whole crew at Fleidners racing!

This is Happy Chance with her first baby, a Harry Angel filly.
She is utterly besotted with this foal. She is standing over her, blowing on her ears, nuzzling the top of her face, she finds this baby and motherhood just enchanting.
So lovely to watch.
