We welcome the huge Bronson to our family, to spend his days out on my parents property being spoilt and loved. Purebred Clydesdale Gelding, at "18.1hh" he is huge, the biggest Clydie I have ever seen. A true gentle giant and the most beautiful relaxed laid back temperament.

NSW State Andalusian Championships at SIEC- Congratulations to my sister Rachel Dermer on her wonderful achievements with her two beautiful geldings on their first time out.

We rescued a beautiful roan Welsh B filly. Knee high white socks and a blaze she stands out, beautiful mover & a very pretty girl.

Sat 30th April- We did a P.R.E / Andalusian breed display at the local Stroud Agriculture show with our stallion Dominguez. He hasn't been out since his past injury & subsequent operations and he was beautifully behaved and the day was a great success with a lot of people enquiring about the breed.

We are looking forward to Pony Club Camp in April and Logan will have his own pony arrive soon. January 2011- We are looking forward to a busy year with Pony club, Trail riding club and the RDA. I have a long term goal to work with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Asperger's Syndrome (AS) and Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), providing Equine therapy in the future in the Hunter Valley. I am dedicating 2011 to working with some of my horses for this purpose and gaining experience myself, through some training courses, study and life experience working with & understanding children on the Autism spectrum, to provide a future safe service to some of the most wonderful and often misunderstood children who will gain from Equine therapy, which i find highly rewarding and for this i couldn't think of better more suited partners with wonderful, calm, wise temperaments than some of my spanish horses. Having a child with Autism has changed my life forever and I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to work with some very special kids. Equine Therapy works in so many ways from communication, balance, physical muscle strength, a sense of body awareness, improved motor skills, concentration, socialisation, self control & increased self confidence. The benefits experienced by kids with mental, emotional & sensory disabilities like Autism are also due to the special relationship they develop with the horse. The unconditional, non-judgmental aspect of the bond between the horse & the child encourages the child to form an attachment and interaction with another living being, which is especially difficult for Autistic kids to achieve. One of the greatest benefits of this type of therapy is the pure enjoyment the kids get out of it. On another note- Our new Hay shed/ tack/ feed shed are finally finished & in use, we have put some of our spanish mares in foal and we have been making good progress on property improvements and more fences painted. December 2010- We welcome Misha Zeman into our home,stud and family. Misha has come to live with us for a while. Misha is a Qualified Equine Myofunctional Therapist, NCAS Level 1 Instructor, EA Gymnastic Vaulting & Lunging, Horsemanship & Horse & Rider training Instructor. You can find Misha on her web site www.equconnect.com November 2010- Annabella passed the ANNCE revision on the 5th Nov and is now Volarated APTO. We are very proud of our El Caballo Blanco bred mare. This puts another of Falconero 1's progeny in the Spanish Stud book. Also makes our young Saphukai / Annabella filly -Saphana eligible for inscription which will then be the first of Saphukai's foals registered PRE ANNCE. We had the PRE Mundial Revision 17th Nov and had 3 mares Sonata, Mimosi & Contezza pass APTO with great scores. Our 3 weanlings/yearlings also Inscribed PRE Mundial being Saphana, Athena and Maestro. September 2010- We are very happy to have Spanish purebred Mare- Bon Esperence Mimosi join our broodmare herd. Sire- Felido 1, Dam- Gloriana . Mimosi is Reg AHAA. She is broken to saddle and harness.
