***************************************************** Surprise Success at 2007 Aussies
With our team turned out for the winter we made the trip to the Aussies this year as spectators. While we missed having horses it was also great to have the time to sit back and enjoy the company of friends and have to opportunity to watch a heap of classes.
Chris was delighted when he was given the unexpected opportunity to show Trincada Spirit in the Derivative Gelding Shown by a Youth where they were awarded a Top 10 placing.
He also took both Trincada Spirit & Trincada Sprite in the Parade of Past Champions, where he did a fabulous job showing them off.
A huge thank you to all who made these experiences possible for Chris, he had a wonderful time, as evidenced by the enormous grin!

VALE
D'Amors Maaritza Khan
Maaritza passed away suddenly on Thursday morning, 21st of December 2006. Our only comfort is that her passing was instantaneous and she did not suffer. We are absolutely devastated by this loss, of not only a truly superb Arabian, but more so of a treasured friend and companion.
The Arabian horse world has lost a true ambassador and she will be terribly missed.
To read about Maaritza's life please visit her page. We will have her story complete in the not too distant future.
