Well what a busy couple of weeks it has been!!!
Maneroo Megg foaled a HUGE bay filly 28/09/10. Littlestone Megga Cat is by NCHA money earner Whos Top Cat (imp) this filly is sure to follow her big sisters Littlestone Megga Foxy and Littlestone Matilda in being a successful show horse and then successful in the drafting arena.
After being home for a week, One Moore Smarty foaled a chestnut colt 6/10/10. Littlestone Tellimsmart is by Docs Spin N Tell. This little fellow had a bit of a rough start but is getting stronger by the day!
The latest edition made us wait. 3 weeks after her due date Prosperous Affair foaled a lovely BIG brown colt in the early hours of Sat morning (9/10/10). Littlestone Eclipse is sired by Flying Dollar Spin on Command (sire of Spin N Hectares, Scotch on Command and Spins Reignmaker).
Which just leaves us with Elgrando Lauren H to foal for this year. She is starting to bag up. From all accounts her 2007 foal by Sophisitcatted Cat is progressing well for the NCHA Futurity next year.
All foals are for sale please contact us at tyson-melissa@bigpond.com if you would like any more info on the foals. Photos will be uploaded once the sun comes out!!
After all this wet (200ml alone in Sept) Tys is still waiting to get to a draft! Bell, Dulacca, Dalby drafts have all been cancelled. We await to see if the Condamine Bell will go ahead this weekend with weather forecasters predicting 200ml this week.

is sure to follow in her daddy's footsteps and be a champion cutter!
Daytonas Blue Roan Boom foaled an awesome grey colt last Thursday to NCHA

Maneroo Megg is bagged up, so we eagerly await her foal to Whos Top Cat!
We have added to our broodmare band!! We would like to thank Todd Graham
for allowing us to purchase One Moore Smarty. Smarty is by Chuka So Smart

Tys has just returned from a week in the USA, where he spent time with one
of the states leading cutting horse trainers Sean Flynn. Whilst there he
rode some of this year's leading contenders for the NCHA Futurity being
held at Fort Worth, Texas in December. He also did some research
(browsing!!) on some sale horses, details soon...... |

Hallie has spent her first week
home enjoying her surroundings; she has even become accustomed to the
strange Australian wildlife (Emus and Roos). We would like to thank the
Glovers for allowing us to buy to Hallie and for their honesty; she is
everything and more than they said she was! She is due to foal end of
January 2011 to AQHA World Champion Lazy Loper.
Foaling season is nearly here, Daytonas Blu Roan Boom is due 11 Sept, and
EP Rey Chex is due 15 Sept. Avery exciting few months ahead!
Spin N Hectares has gone home (back to Todd's) after a well deserved
break. Todd is pleased with his progress, and he is still well on track
for next year's futurity. We are off to see him being worked on cattle
next week, photos will follow.
While everyone is still on holidays, Abbeys Smart Tassa and Spins
Reignmaker are back in work, with the busy drafting season to recommence
at Bell Aug 21. Abbey on her last outing scored an 88 and won the first
round of the maiden, so hopefully she can pick up where she left!
Foolish Acres is also back in work. After a good show at the NPHA she
enjoyed a well earned break, Sweetie's first show will be at Gatton 28-29
Aug. We are hoping to collect an embryo out of her this year to AQHA World
Champion sire Certain Potential (USA).
