Her once in a lifetime horse trained up to FEI Prix St. George. More character and love than could ever be put into words. Entrusted to Dirk & I whilst we search for his PERFECT home. In fantastic show condition and absolutely ready to become some very lucky rider’s greatest partner.

23.01.2022 I’d really be greatful if Hairdressers could be permitted to go back to their Salons! Head Coach needs attention badly! #covidmoments #pigtails

20.01.2022 AEA METALLIC .....after a leisurely hack with Dirk around the grass track at Jolong Park this morning, a lovely black Thoroughbred mare was awaiting his ‘Services’.... Looking and feeling a million dollars and obliging as ever....such an amazing Stallion TEMPERAMENT, TRAINABILITY & TALENT... Breeding Enquiries welcome.

19.01.2022 AEA Metallic’s first nude day of the Season. A special rare treat...not too hot, not too cold, just right & not looking at all bad for an old boy just out of a long, freezing, wet winter! Says a lot for the ole scoop of combo chaff, & SA’s Cool Plus Lauke Mill Pellets!... So, so LOVED!

17.01.2022 Still our King 19 years young! AEA METALLIC ...he knows Spring has Sprung & is in the air! Beautiful new halter from ANKY AUSTRALIA

15.01.2022 Well for a good few years its been all about Dressage; not today! 15 yo Hudson Craig took our 6yo, 17.1hh+ Dressage gelding - AEA Marco Polo (by AEA Metallic) to Boneo Park for his first ever Show Jumping competition. I’m overflowing with praise & admiration for the way this young, talented lad, piloted our gentle & sensitive giant around Boneo Park from start to finish. They achieved everything they set out to achieve & some!... We are really excited to watch this partnership grow whilst Marco takes his mind off Dressage for a little spell & settles into life with the super chilled Show Jumping fraternity! Halle found him well & truly snoozing this afternoon which is a rare sight for Marco in the paddock! Thanks Hudson & Mia for all your expertise & care; it’s greatly appreciated & Boneo Park for always being on point in every way!! #earlydays

15.01.2022 From little things...BIG things grow! AEA MARCO POLO (6yo - 17.1hh - AEA Metallic x Voltaire) The bonus ‘time’ is nothing but a blessing for this lovely youngster.... Day by day, slowly, gently..exciting prospect.
