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.
