We were very pleased to have the opportunity to showcase our little stud through the world wide publication of the Sabino Arabian Horse News in October, 2006. Razzle graced the front cover, and this was followed up by several more photos of him inside and a 3 page spread about our stud.
I have a few extra copies of this publication courtesy of the SAHR if anyone would like to know more about this special registry for Purebred Arabians - email me if you'd like one- first in best dressed!

The stud is very pleased to announce the safe arrival of a lovely chestnut colt from Lizwood Park Kamarli by Arinya Park Klass.
I was sitting out in the paddock after midnight just keeping an eye on Kami as she progressed with her labour, and to my surprise, she came right up to me and delivered him literally at my feet!
Far away on the peninsula there was a bright fire burning, so
we have named this little guy ESPLENDOUR'S FIREFOX.
'FOX' has all the attributes a breeder could hope to acheive in
producing a quality foal - and it looks like he will be a flaxen liver chestnut to boot!
'FOX' will be offered for sale at weaning. (See SALES PAGE)

We are delighted to announce that Razzle has qualified for the Aussie Champs, and has been in Melbourne with 'Aunty' Laureen Schmidt for training and conditioning.
Laureen is reknown for her expertise, especially in the area of conditioning, and regardless of whether or not his unusual colouring appeals to the judges, he will go out looking his absolute best.
I cannot thank Laureen enough for taking on Razzle, and wish them the very best at the Aussies!

When it comes to finding a quality sabino arabian mare, opportunity does not often knock loudly - and after several months of heavy searching, the 2007 January Horse Deals came out advertising a pinto purebred arabian mare! I was very quick to ring about this uncommon jewel, and knew that she was exactly what I'd been looking for. She will arrive from her long journey from Queensland on January 4th, 2007.

Esplendour was represented by two purebred Arabians at this year's exciting 25th Commemorative Australian Championships.
Razzle of course contended the 2-3 year colts, but unfortunately failed to impress the judges on the day. He nontheless looked the goods, and we have had considerable positive feedback in regards to his appearance, so it was all worth while.
Esplendour's Aprhrodite was this year shown by her owner in the saddle classes. In an excellent class of quality horses, she took TOP 10 Bridle Path Hack before taking on the prestigious Ridden Arabian Mare class where in very srong company was awarded RESERVE AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION !!! Not bad for a 4 year old filly who looks to have an ever increasing career ahead of her!

We are proud to announce that Esplendour's Firefox has a new home with Ms. Sharryn Goodman of Craigeburn, Victoria.
Sharryn is an excellent horse woman and will be a top home for 'Foxy' ...she plans to introduce him to many different disciplines, and we know that she and Foxy will make an excellent life-long team!
