Fernances Creek Haflinger Stud

Sophisticated Spy (Spyder) has been spelling since his last outing at Maitland show. It's been a hard road but we are determined to help Spyder get back to his old self.

FC Mystral had an exciting start to her first sporting outing in Perth but settled in well. Tess has been competing with Missy in dressage and showjumping for the past few months.

FC Wildfire is enjoying his home and a new hairstyle in Tasmania.

This week our lovely TB Sirocco's Quest went to a new home in the ACT. Rocco has been a part of the family for the last four years and we will all miss him very much. He has taken Steph from a young junior rider to an accomplished showjumper. Rocco is going to another young girl that is the same age as Steph when he came into our family. From what I am hearing, he has settled in well with the other horses on the new property and has already endeared himself to the new owners. We will put up photos as soon as we receive them.

It was a big course with brushes, water, ditches and lots of challenges and Scarlet was a champion. A little 12.2 haflinger cross pony was making it look easy against all of the large TB's. Out of all the fences, Scarlet had one refusal at a stone wall but then took it easily on the second attempt. She also had one run out on a small fence that we are still scratching our heads over but jumped it on the second attempt. The showjumping went really well. The dressage is still something we are working on. She managed a 52% which was good considering we have had very little flatwork in the lead up. Hopefully Steph will have her working over the holidays. We are giving Scarlet some time off before Lyndel takes her to Hidden Valley. Stay tuned for a new video of x country. We will now turn...
