23.01.2022 Saltriver Impulse with her first natural foal Saltriver Illusion and her last natural foal Zen by Bonlac Gigalo

22.01.2022 We are sharing something that we wrote a few years ago, and it is still relevant! While winter may be a down time for breeding there is still plenty to do in pr...eparation for next season! For many clients there is the dilemma of choosing the stallion that will make the best match with his or her mare. Here are a few points to consider: If you have an older mare or one that has been difficult to breed in the past, try a nice young stallion that offers fresh or cool shipped semen. This should increase your chances as younger stallions generally have more active and more potent semen samples. Frozen semen can be risky for problem mares as the semen is generally not as active as it has been through the freezing/thawing process. It may end up taking several cycles for your older mare to conceive, therefore becoming expensive. And why AI rather than live cover? With AI we can control the amount of semen that we put in, we can also control where we place the semen in the mare's tract, and we can use semen extender that has a bit of antibiotic. We can also look at the semen sample under a microscope to make sure it looks motile. AI also reduces risk of injury to the mare during live cover. Live cover can be the best option for select mares and stallions, please ring to discuss if you have a query. If you have a young or very fertile mare, and you choose to use frozen semen, it is best to organise in advance. Frozen semen can be shipped to our clinic and stored BEFORE your mare arrives, in case you bring her to us and she is ready to breed! If you were wanting to breed your mare early in the season, it is ideal to start rugging and feeding your mare in late July or August and take note of her cycles if she begins cycling. We generally do not start accepting mares until September, and our recipient herd is not usually ready for embryo transfers until October. If you have any questions please contact us on 0407 564 623, or message us. Have fun choosing a stallion - after all, nobody knows the perfect combination of mare and stallion or that's what we would all be breeding, right? See more

21.01.2022 Breeding season is fast approaching and again I will be using Adios Cherokee owned by Tim Hollis and Amanda Branson-Hollis. I sent three mares but only one ended up in foal ( due to aged mares) this is one of the nicest horses I’ve seen for a long time with impeccable breeding , it’s hard to get a sire with Nabinabah Breezette, Barona Select , Barona Amy plus the sires Warrenbri Romeo and Abdul all within the first three generations.A novice horse with limited opportunities , a wonderful temperament and led star looks he is well worth breeding to. Now in his mid teens he needs utilising.

20.01.2022 Thanks Debbie Sadler very generous of you guys to donate a service fee to Eagle Hustler. Stewart won on Melody out of Lilt

18.01.2022 It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Phillip Kirkby. I met Phillip 28 yrs ago and bought my first two registered ASH’s from him a colt by Omega and a filly by by Remedy. Phillip was one of two of the most influential people in my life in regards to horse breeding and genetics. Phillip bred horses that he believed in not what fashion dictated and that showed in every animal he bred. I have no doubt that his legacy will be felt for many many years to come. So here’s to you Mr Kirkby fly high with great horses you have bred of a past time.

01.01.2022 Lot 86 Nutrien Online Sale Acres Destiny mare - Darma Acres Super Honey

01.01.2022 TDCC rang a terrific draft last weekend, great facilities. Thanks so much. Stu and Play ran a 90 in the open but nothing in the final and Rhyme ran an 87 for third in the ladies. Back to Medlow, all horses trimmed and remainder of teeth done today, drenching to go. Lilt is keeping me waiting... it’s going to be a strapping big colt is my prediction.
