20/04/10 - Cass gets Gold Medal

Cass, my daughter, is in Adelaide with the NSW Contingent at the Australian Special Olympics, representing NSW in the Australian Championships.  Today was the first day of Competition for Cass, who is on the NSW Ten Pin Bowling Team.  She proudly came thru the doubles with a Gold Medal.  Special Olympics is a WorldWide Organisation Fostering Sports for the Intellectually Disabled.  Special Olympics is every bit as important to the ID's as the Paralympics are to the Physically Disabled.  Cass has represented NSW and Australia in Equestrian, Dressage, with the Para's, and was a member of the Australian Paralympic ID Talent Squad, for a number of years, until the ID's and PD's were separated.  Unfortuneately there was no Equestrian Team in Special Olympics, so that is how Cass fell into the SO Ten Pin Bowling, as she was Bowling recreationally with friends from work, and the Local Group, Macarthur Special Olympics, encouraged and supported them all emotionally, financially, and physically, and gave them the Opportunity to be Everything They Can Be.

 

 

 

 

 

18/04/10 - Ninny, Zahara & Zippa come to visit

Our lovely welshie cob, Ninny, and her children (by Wizzie), Zahara & Zippa, came home for a visit.  Thier owners, Allison, Dean, Lauren & Sarah, have just moved into thier new home, that has been a long time building, and now they are doing major earth works, fencing and building new facilities for the Black Beauties, so they have come back to CN for a holiday over winter, until thier new home is ready for them. 

 

It looks like Miss Zahara may even go off to the trainers, so she will be ready to go home as a grown up riding horse.  We will keep you posted on her progress, as Zahara has already been hugely succesful in hand, taking home Champions and Reserves in strong company, and looks set to become a star under saddle. 

 

Zippa is enjoying meeting other little people like him, in the weaning paddock, and Ninny is just glad to join the CN 1st Wives Club, who are all enjoying a much needed Child Free Break from the babies.

What a big weekend.  Joey & Lew brought Jelco down from Moonbi for the weekend so CavalloNero could show off both our boys together.  I was so proud of Jelco, he has grown up from the gangly colt that left to go to Moonbi to start work.  We had lots of our CN Friends come out to show us fabulous support and cheer us on. The boys came home with a swag of ribbons and trophies.  Full results will be posted asap. We also got to catch up with Wendy & Ron, with Hotse again, and to see the three boys together was great.  Big plans by us all to make it happen as much as possible, as we all had a ball together. Wendy & Ron are going to try and come to Sydney for more dressage comps, and I am going to try to get up thier way too.

Ambar foaled a stunning filly this morning.  Number 5 girl for CN this season. 

 

We were hoping for colour, so next time I will request lots of bling, as we got colour in the form of a big white star and snip, not even a belly splash! 

 

It is now up to Ruby to produce all the bling. 

 

As yet unnamed, this filly will have to have a mystical name with mum being Ambars Black Magic and dad being The Wizzard. 

 

She is big and strong, with the trademark Wizzie curls on her coat.

Minke surprised me on monday morning, I had returned from the weekend at Shoalhaven Dressage Champs, and thought Minke was still days away from foaling.  

 

When I fed the girls brekky, a bit late, I looked into the stable as Minke wasnt calling impatiently for her brekky, and found yet another filly for CN. 

 

Zamphire Rose is a 75% Friesian Warmblood by Orlando Maurits (Ster Stallion). 

 

She has lovely long legs, so friendly and is destined to follow in her mum and siblings footsteps as a future star.

Allison and her family spent the weekend with us, and it was great catching up, with lots of new friends made. 

 

Wizzie lapped up all the attention!

 

Looking forward to next year, Allison will be riding next year, so we might even make it down to Nowra more often for a regular family get together.

28/09/09 - Very Sad Day at CN

In the midst of all the joyful news of new babies arriving, we at CN have had a very sad week, with the sudden loss of our very special boy, Zai. 

 

He has in his short 20 months of life, touched so many, none so much as Bethanie and her family, he meant as much to them as he did to us. 

 

We are dedicating a page just for him, as his story is a special one. 

 

My family believe that when one is taken, his soul lives on in a new life born at that same time, and he will look over the new life.  Zai is one of these very special souls.

 

  

28/09/09 - Millie has a filly

Millie is another of Wizzies girls, she came for a short visit from Batemans Bay last season.  Millie is a little late to motherhood, and has amazed us all with her textbook visit, pregnancy and birth.  She is very proud of her girl, insisting the whole family got lots of cuddles and bonding. 

 

Congrats to Rosemary, Millie, and the rest of the Bunn Family.

 

Millie's girl is a special little soul to the CavalloNero Family, she came into the world as our special boy was leaving this world.

3-5/04/09 - 2009 QLD State Andalusian Championships

Wizzie, Cass & Shirl made the huge trip to Qld for the Andy Championships.  Leesa and I had made plans when she bought Zucchero, now Matador, that we would get together one day, and this show was it.  Wizz and Matador had a ball, it was so great to see both my boys out competing together, and to see Matador has blossomed into the performer I always knew he was, with Leesa.  It is so great to see when you sell one as precious as Zucc was to me, that they go on to become even more precious to thier new owner, as Matador now is to Leesa.  Wizz even won the Exhibition Class Trophy.  We met the new Hotse, and it was fabulous to have such a line up of boys at the one show.  Newcomers to the friesian breed got to see three distinctly different but equally awesome friesian types all in one place, and made new friends with Ron & Wendy, who campaign Hotse for Miriam, and have been won over by our beautiful black pearls.
