latest update 6 January 2012
Hi Everyone HAPPY
NEW YEAR! Wishing every one the best of luck for the next
12 months. New years bring new challenges and joys For
the first time in a few years we have decided to join some
purebred mares to Chronicle DV, WH Zmanor E and Walidayt.
That will be interesting when foaling season arrives. It
was very nice not having to be up all night with mares foaling!
We have also been busy breeding the Shetland mares. We
have put 4 Wells Rising Star daughters to Gar-won Tristian.
We eagerly await these foals.
In
between trying to pack and organise the sale of the property and
purchase of the next property we have this years foals to wean.
Starting soon will be CP Trigger (Manildra Rob Roy x CP Topp
Secrett) and Amaranda Soapbox (Trentlyn Platinum x Amaranda
Snuffbox). Then depending on when we are able to get to
the new farm there are the 2 black Arabian Pony Colts sired by
Owendale Jordan from the Chronicle DV Daughters CP Texas Tilly
and CP Esmeralda. CP Texas Ranger and CP Jackson (pictured
left). Also with the last couple will be Trelawny Al
Capone, a Shetland colt. Emily's Shetland mares are
pictured below. All photo credits to Belinda Richardson of
Khaliffa Arabians.
We are having a sale of machinery and household items. 13, 14th & 15th January. Lots of stuff. Give us a call. Cheers Carole
Past Updates We had a great show at the National Capital in Canberra. Emily and Toppgunn cam home with lots of prizes including Highpoint Youth. We are busily packing and getting organised for our big move. We are selling mares with lots of interest and already they are off to their new homes. We have now bred CP Eva to WH Zmanor E imp USA and she is offered for sale in foal to him. Get in quick! Payment plans are available to approved purchasers. Past Updates Well......The farm at Cowra is under offer and Coolinda Park is moving south so we are needing to sell some mares, fillies and geldings. Expressions of interest of invited on all horses listed on the sales page. This will be the last chance to purchase Coolinda Park pure polish horses from the Central West of NSW. Take this chance to save on transport if you are in the vicinity or in the Northern parts of Australia. We cant take them all with us so now is the time to act! The horses are all in excellent condition with all paperwork up to date. Mares are ready to breed and all ready to break in. Dont waste any time as we will be moving in the new year. Emilys' shetlands went to the Shetland Supershow at Bathurst in October. What a fantastic event! Only held every 5 years it was very exciting to be able to part of such an encouraging show. Lerwick Abby won her under 8.2hd filly class and 4th in the coloured filly under 10.2hd class. Gar-won Tristan was fourth in his strong stallion class and Thorpeville Amos was 2nd in the costume, 2nd handler and 3rd in the rider class. A successful show for our first large Shetland show. We learnt heaps and met many wonderful people. All of them willing to lend a hand and to discuss breeding. Earlier in October Emily compete in her first endurance ride. 20kms at Woodstock on CP Aflame N Sin (Blondy). Blondy took some time out to do his first endurance ride too. Emily had never ridden Blondy before then and they did an excellent job. Emily took Blondy thru the vet checks before and after the ride with no fuss. She did the ride in 2hrs and 30mins. Many thanks for Deanna and Roy from Dumaresq Arabians at Dunedoo. They took Em under their wings and helped her all the way through including Deanna riding with her the whole 20kms. Im sure Deanna has never had so much entertainment on a ride before! On return Em wanted to do the 80km the next day. She was even eyeing off her shetlands to do another 20km! Next year we are sure to compete in some more endurance. End of the month and Emily will be competing at the National Capital Horse Show in Canberra with Toppy. Lots of classes over the 3 days so sure to be a very busy time. Catch up with us at the show for sales lists or a chat about the horses. Carole Past Updates Hi Off to Grenfell show with Emily and her shetlands! Garwon Tristian came home with Champion Stallion, Lerwick Abby Resv Champion Coloured Shetland and Thorpeville Amos Resv Champion Gelding. Emily won her handler class with Buddy. Toppgunn also accompanied the Shetlands and Emily won her rider class and her western pleasure class. The next day was Woodstock show and Emily came home Supreme Shetland won by Lerwick Abby and resv Champion Showhunter pony with Toppgunn. Then we went to Cowra show firstly with Toppgunn and CP Aflame N Sin (Blondy). Emily showed Blondy for Resv Champion Arabian Derivative led. Megan Bryant rode him in the showhunter pony classes winning the Novice and adults class. Megan then stepped off Blondy and onto her own horse to win the jump off in the D grade showjump! A very versatile and competant rider! Blondy and Megan also won the Prep 3 and Prelim 1C with scores over 73%. Emily won her Pony Club rider and Pony Club mount. They also placed 3rd in the Prep 3. The 2 in the Shetland team came home with Abby placing second in the mare class and Buddy winning the gelding class and then resv champion Shetland. Em and Buddy also won the ridden Shetland class. We have put some extra mares onto the sales page. Please have a look and see if there is one that suits your needs. We have our first foal on the ground. A Palomino colt sired by Manildra Rob Roy from the Toppgunn daughter CP Topp Secrett. And he is such a cutey! Already has the friendly attitude of his father. He is running with his Mum and Dad and loves to spend time with Dad! He shares his oats and plays in the paddock with him. Mum doesnt play like Dad!! We still have one more Roy foal due and 3 other Arabian Ponys. Thank you for all your kind thoughts, cards and messages for our loss. Please accept our thanks as it was so greatly appreciated. Carole
It is with much sadness that I inform you of the passing of my father Lionel, much loved husband of Carole and father to Shelley, Stella and Shannon, grandfather of Emily and Kasey and father in law of Greg and Charlie. Thankyou for all your condolences and thoughts at this time. He will be sadly missed. Shannon
Hi All Well as promised I have the details of the new black stallion at Coolinda Park. He is Gar-Won Tristan. A Shetland stallion that is the foundation sire of another branch at Coolinda Park. The Shetland part of Coolinda Park is being founded by Emily Peck. Emily has been showing her Shetland gelding Thorpeville Amos since she got him as a birthday present for her 4th birthday. This year she took him to Canberra Royal and placed a very good 4th in an extremely strong class of geldings. Emily was the only child handler in the ring and did herself proud when she stood him up (like an Arab) and worked him out amongst all the noise and distractions. She was very much on her own from when you enter the arena no one can accompany you. Standing on the outside of the arena it was quite nerve wracking as Em was only 8yo and it doesn't take much for anything to go wrong. "No Mum I will be fine. I don't need you to take him!" I am told by Emily as off she goes with all the adults, past the showjumpers and the other working horses. On the way out Em followed the red coats and does a little bypass and leads Buddy over some poles on the ground! Smiling all the way and so proud of her 4th place. Then to top off the day Em rode Buddy in the grand Parade. Out amongst the big horses not in the shetland area! So when the opportunity came up to get Tristan we jumped at it. We now have two mares to join him. Shady Glen Farrah and Lerwick Abby. And so off to the Shetland shows we go! Farrah will foal to and then be joined to Tristian. Abby is only two so will be shown by Emily and then broken in. She will be later bred to Tristian. Emily's aim is to breed tall Shetlands that can be fun family horses and that kids can enjoy as much as she has with Buddy and friends. For the next addition to Coolinda Park is our change in breeding program. Probably not so much a change but just a slightly different direction! We have recently acquired some Highland Cows. We have purchased a young bull who will be campaigned before being used at stud. The cows have settled in well at Coolinda Park with WH Zmanor E running alongside of them and touching noses over the fence. With their huge horns and long hairy coats they definitely make a pretty sight in the paddock. Blondy is sure they are a relative cause some are the same colour. They have long forelocks and really enjoy a scratch. They are soon going to start calving to a Brahman bull and orders have already been taken for the calves due to their unusual breeding! We have already had offers on the cows as well due to their quality. These cows wont be going anywhere though! They love their oats of an afternoon and come when called. Really pleasant animals. So not only will we be at the Shetland shows we will soon be back in the cattle ring as well! Back to the Arabians....Congratulations to Belinda Richardson of Khaliffa Arabians and her filly CP Whistlin Dixxie (Walidayt imp USA x CP Diamond Lil). She was shown at her first show after being prepared by KEA training and was awarded Supreme Champion Arabian. Fantastic result for all involved. The Walidayt imp USA stock are proving themselves to be wonderful all round horses. CP Whistlin Dixxie is one of the oldest progeny of Walidayt and she is only 3yo. Her dam CP Diamond Lil needs no introduction. Sired by Creme Dynasty imp USA she has won numerous supremes including champion mare at the Nationals in Sydney. Now her daughter is sure to do the same.
Past Updates. We
had a successful show at the Morongla Foal and Youngstock show
in May. CP Aflikka Sand (Manildra Rob Roy x CP Aflikka
Soot We
again went to the South Western Appaloosa and All Breeds Show at
Young showground. Emily and Toppgunn have won the yearly
highpoint for the Youth and Pony Club section. Emily has
learnt a lot at these shows in the Western events. We also
took CP Aflame N Sin (Brampton Sinbad x CP Aflame).
He won Champion Other Breed and Champion Palomino. Below
is a photo of CP
Endurance news: Walidayt imp USA has successfully completed 3 80km rides including winning the lightweight section of the Cedar Ridge ride at Easter. Walidayt is now spelling until starting again later in the year. His daughters are growing so well with CP Dance With Me (Walidayt imp USA x Dancing in the Dark) standing at 15hds as a 2yo and CP Walencia (Walidayt imp USA x CP Errika) measuring a very beautiful 14.3hds and growing more every day. CP Walencia has the Monogramm look and every one who sees her is very taken with her. CP Whistlin Dixxie (Walidayt x CP Diamond Lil) has been purchased by Belinda Richardson of Khaliffa Arabians. Wiosna Polska (Walidayt x Sienna Polska) has been puchased by Katrina Branxton of Vic. Both these big moving fillies will be gracing the show ring soon. Warr of the Roses (Creme Dynasty imp USA x Lilliane iid UK) a pure polish stallion owned and ridden by Deanna Trevena has won the recently won the lightweight and best conditioned at the NSW State Championships at St Albans. So Polish horses ranging all the way back to Skowronek to our modern day stock are still leading the way! Deanna also trains and rides Walidayt so she has a couple of handy pure polish stallions. Congratulations on your results! Sales news: CP Kataryzna (WH Zmanor E x CP Kaliope) has been purchased by Sienna Arabians in Victoria. CP Enya (Khundjur imp UK x M Eternity exp NZ) has been purchased by Katrina Braxton and will head to Victoria after being bred to WH Zmanor E imp USA to join Wiosna Polska and CP Elizja. CP Klara has sold to a lovely home at Moonbi in Northern NSW. Klara will be a brood mare and possible show mare for Linda Keogh who is wanting to come back into the Arabian world and loves the Polish horses. CP Klara is such a sweet mare, I'm glad that she will have a special home. We have some mares available for sale that can be bred to Chronicle or WH Zmanor E. See the sales page for more details. Things will quieten for the next couple of months. We have 4 mares due to foal in the spring. One to Manildra Rob Roy and 3 to Owendale Jordan. 4 Arabian Pony foals! Keep up to date by following us on facebook. Carole
Past Updates We
have decided to have a $5000 and under sale. Many mares
and fillies that haven't been available and others that have
been reduced by half. Now is the time to purchase a pure
polish mare. The stallions will again be standing at stud
for the months of Aug, Sept and Oct 2011 at $1500 each.
This includes 6 weeks agistment. Some sale mares can be
joined to WH Zmanor E imp USA or Chronicle DV for $750.
See the sales page for more details. Our
recent events include the Donges IGA Young Dressage
Championships held at Bendick Murrel. This is a very well
organised and strongly supported competition that attracts
entrants from all over NSW, ACT and Vic. CP Aflame N Sin (Brampton
Sinbad x CP Aflame) competed in his first dressage comp and
only his second outing (pictured right). Perfectly ridden by Megan Bryant
of Cowra 'Blondy' entered in the Prix Caprilli, prep and 2
prelim tests. Blondy and Megan came home with a 1st in the
Prep test and 2nd in the other 3 tests. Megan has recently
returned from Europe where she represented Australia in the
Young rider dressage competition on her mare Donnabella.
Megan is a very successful rider and has done an excellent job
on Blondy. He loves to see her and she is able to get the
best out of him. Also competing at the Dressage was Emily
and Toppgunn. They competed in a Prep test, prix Caprilli
and 3 Prelim tests. They came home with 4 fourths and an
=6th. They also competed in a Freestyle Prelim to the rock
sounds of Pink. They definitely turned heads when the
music started up!
We have also been working on our western pleasure and other western events at the South Western Appaloosa and all breeds show. Held every month at Young showground in the indoor arena this show is great for young horses and for anyone wanting some practice out. CP Adazha Flazh has started led trail classes which he is finding very interesting. He didnt find it anywhere near as exciting as the mule that was being shown. She fluttered her eyes at him and he thought she was the most beautiful thing he had seen! Such big ears!!!! Young boys.....!!! CP Walencia was also shown with many wins. Great starter shows. We are now on facebook so keep up with photos and whats happening and become friends with us. Cheers Carole
Past Updates Hi All What a fantastic Aussies! Tamworth was the best facility to host an event of this prestige. So user friendly and the horses loved it. Everything is close to the stables and a quick drive and you are in the centre of Tamworth. What more could you ask for? We started our show on the first day with the Western Pleasure classes. Emily (my 8yo granddaughter) was entered in the Youth Western Pleasure on Toppgunn and Toppgunn was also entered in the open class. Emily decided the day before that she wanted to ride Toppy in the open class. After explaining that it was against bigger horses with adult riders Em still insisted on doing it! So out for practise which consisted of cantering around with reins in one hand and pretending to shoot like John Wayne in an old movie! After the western classes it was time for CP Aflikka Soot (Brampton Sinbad x CP Aflikka) to grace the ring for the Arabian Pony mare championship. And grace the ring she did! With her palomino filly at foot CP Aflikka Soot glided around the ring and her gorgeous filly showing how its done. Sooty was awarded Australian Champion with a unanimous decision for all the judges. Her grandmother CP Aflame would have been so proud! Emily and Toppy kept competing with lots of classes throughout the week. As time went on they were more confident and really enjoying the show. A huge thankyou to Donna Taff and Gallery Equine. Without her help and expertise Emily wouldn't have looked so good. Donna has the most unbelievable riding coats and accessories. All sizes and shapes with all the stuff to match. Next update will include our latest events including Donges IGA Young Dressage Champs and a Western show run by South Western Appaloosa Association. Past updates We are on our way to the Aussies! Stopping to visit Dumaresq Arabians at Elong Elong we have given the ponies a rest overnight. What wonderful hospitality! Lamb roast and a tour around 4000 acres! We were able to see the endurance horses, some in training and some just growing. Some very beautiful Walidayt stock that are growing quite tall. Walidayt imp USA himself is in preparation for his first endurance ride. We also saw a stunning black Walidayt gelding with the most exotic head. Stunning! And proof that Walidayt has the black genetics and can breed black foals. We also saw Warr of the Roses out running with his mares. At 14 yrs he is looking fantastic. Running in huge paddocks he is really enjoying life. A really lovely substantial stallion with a pretty but masculine head and correct confirmation. His cows took a lot of interest in us too! Tomorrow we head off for the final part of our drive to Tamworth. We are looking forward to getting there and seeing the AELEC centre in Tamworth. It should be fantastic! We are competing every day with a team of four horses. Well four and a bit! I will try and keep you updated all the way through. Recently we competed at Koorawatha Show. We took Buddy (Thorpeville Amos), CP Aflame N Sin and Toppgunn. A very successful day especially with CP Aflame N Sin (Brampton Sinbad x CP Aflame), a Palomino arabian pony that had his first outing under saddle. He was expertly ridden by Megan Bryant of Cowra. Megan and Blondy have teamed up and are really enjoying themselves. Megan has recently returned from Germany after competing in the young rider dressage competition and representing Australia. A huge effort for a young lady. A huge thankyou to Megan for helping us out. Emily and Toppgunn had a very successful day by winning her rider classes and placing highly in a lot of others. A perfect warm up for the Aussies. Emily also showed Buddy for Champion Shetland against very strong competition. Emily and Buddy also won the ridden Shetland class. They competed in the shetland gelding class a Canberra Royal and placed a very good fourth. It was an extremely strong class and Emily took him out on her own against all the adults.
Yesterday Emily and Toppgunn competed at a Pony Club gymkhana
where she won her dressage test and was second in her jumping.

have some photos taken recently
Past Updates Happy New Year!!!! As we enter the first month of 2011 so much has happened around Australia. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by the floods. To help out we are donating a filly to be auctioned with all proceeds going to the flood victims. Please have a look at the Arabian Horse Society website at www.ahsa.asn.au to see details and to place your bid. If you are the winning bidder then not only do you get a top filly but you are helping those in need. When she is in your paddock you will be reminded of the way you have helped others in their time of need. If you are able to donate to the auction please contact Amy at Impressive Web Design. Amy is organising it all and does a fantastic job on websites etc. If you are in need of a website or someone to maintain yours please contact Amy at www.impressivewebdesign.com.au CP Winston has been sold to Lisa and Ray Smith of Foxridge Arabians at Coffs Harbour. They are really excited about getting Winston and now have 2 pure Polish colts that can be used with their mares and crossed between them. There are lots of events coming up that we will hopefully be able to show at. We have donated garlands for lots of events too. The first is the 2011 Donges IGA Young Dressage Championships at Bendick Murrell in April. There is a garland for the Highest Purebred and one for the Derivative as well. Please visit their website at www.youngdressage.com or contact Maryann Schiller at mac1980@westnet.com.au for more details and entries. We were able to donate last year and the derivatives were well supported so hopefully some purebreds can come out this year to compete. There are quite a few purebreds competing very well in dressage and in pony dressage. Lets see them at Bendick Murrell. There is a foal and youngstock show to be held on the 1st of May in the undercover arena at Charles Sturt University (CSU) Wagga Wagga, NSW. Classes for most breeds for foals and followed by classes for Young Stock. Ridden 3 year old classes prior to foal show, first thing in the morning. Full program of events will be available as soon as finalised. There will be a garland for champion purebred foal and champion purebred youngstock. For more details on this event please contact Kylie Place on 02-6968 4380 for information on sponsorship and the show itself. Photo
below is CP Louisville who is proving to be a wonderful
endurance horse competing with Noni Seagrim. Noni also has
CP Kaliente and has broken her in and getting her ready for
endurance.
Past Updates Hi All We
have come back from the National Capital Horse Show in Canberra
and what a great time we had! We took 4 horses and they
were all successful but the most successful was Emily and
Toppgunn. An 8yo and 23yo doing every class they could in
the Youth section. On Friday they competed in 2 dressage
tests where they were placed second in the trot test and 3rd in
the Prelim test. It was there first time doing the canter
test. Emily also won the encouragement award for the
dressage. On Saturday started the youth classes.
After placing 2nd in a large Derivative senior head class they
then won the handler 9yrs & under. Then the following: 2nd
rider, 1st hack, 2nd & resv champion Bridle Path Hack, 4th
showhunter, 1st pleasure, 3rd costume and 1st in the western
pleasure. It was her first time doing the costume and the
western pleasure and Emily was 4th on the junior judging.
That evening Emily and Toppgunn were award the junior highpoint
award and did a lap of honour. They also won the
encouragement award for the youth ring on Saturday. At the
end of the day there was one very happy and tired kid and a very
tired old pony. They were all revved up to go out the next
day but it rained too much. Im sure Toppgunn ordered the
rain!!!! I am updating the sales list with new horses and photos. We have for sale the first pure polish colt sired by Walidayt imp USA. He is very pretty, huge moving, correct colt that would be a huge asset to any breeding program. A pure polish Ganges grandson......search the internet and see how many of those are for sale in Australia and what price they are overseas. While searching have a look at what Ganges is producing. Then jump at the opportunity to have this colt on your own paddock. There is also 2 fillies available sired by Walidayt. A yearling and a 2yo. So much potential in front of them. They could have show and saddle careers and then be very valuable broodmares. I
have some photos of the horses taken around the farm recently.
These photos are taken by Belinda Richardson of Khaliffa
Arabians and Bull Mastiffs. Photo left is CP Dance with Me Walidayt x Dancing in the Dark and CP Dewiza WH Zmanor E x CP Darowizna. Both 2yo fillys. Pictured right is the 2yo filly CP Emprezz WH Zmanor E x CP Esmeralda
Cheers Carole
Past updates NEWS FLASH............The very beautiful chestnut mare Zeahan, sired by CP Aflames son Up In Flames and from the Creme Dynasty mare CP Xza Xza has just won Champion Mare at the Victorian Championships under a Brazilian judge. Congratulations to all connections with this stunning mare. Hi Everyone The past few months have been filled with excitement and unexpected pleasures. In late August Belinda Simonds from Pegasus Arabians in New Zealand arrived and then other visitors from Abu Dubi and Malaysia. We spent several days here at Coolinda Park with the horses, then Belinda and I set off heading North and the rest of the group headed for the Shahzada planning to go north from there. I would like to thank the owners who made time to show Belinda and myself their beautiful horses. These Queensland studs went out of their way to make our visits possible and very enjoyable. Thanks again to Lee and John, Deb and Ian, Lynn Hall also Eddie Burridge for finding two very lost visitors and a special thank you to Kim Cox, who in the midst of absolute mayhem took lots of time out to take us around to studs with very special Polish horses. Belinda and I kept getting completely lost but thankfully I knew where the sun should be so that got us back on track each time! Leaving Queensland we headed back through NSW with a detour to the coast to visit long time friends Lisa and Ray Smith of Foxridge Farms. The timing was great with sensational weather and all the horses looking fabulous! We then headed to Armidale to stay with friends. We had a little shopping trip to Horseland at Armidale. Very knowledgeable service from this Horseland and I thoroughly recommend it anyone needing something from Horseland. We loaded up the car and depleted the bank balance and headed back towards Cowra. We had a short stop with Deanna Trevana and Roy Barnsby and their group of very successful Polish bred endurance horses and then home. Belinda left a few days later, arrived in Christchurch at 12.00 am and then proceeded to her daughters flat for the rest of the night only to be thrown out of bed at 3.50am by an earthquake! Since then she has endured over 1400 tremors and a great deal of destruction to her home. Not a very good welcome home! Australia must be looking good by now.......heat and all!!! We have sold a couple more mares. CP Xza Xza has gone to Mudgee as a broodmare for endurance riders and M Carousel has been sold to South Australia. CP Ekstaza has sold to Victoria. The stallions now have a full book and no longer stand at stud. Thank you very much for the interest shown. I am updating the sales list and soon will release the 2nd stage of the dispersal. As you can see sales are going well and the new owners are more than happy with their new horses. We have been to a couple of shows. Cowra show was a lot of fun as Emily and Toppgunn competed in the dressage and the Pony club events. They were very successful and Emily also competed with her shetland gelding Buddy (Thorpeville Amos) and won champion shetland. I think she had more fun outside of the ring with her young school friends riding Buddy around! Lots of laughter and giggles. Little girls love their ponies! Some news from Noni Seagrim and her new mare CP Kaliente. This mare has only had basic handling when weaned and has spent the rest of her life running in the herd. She is a big strong mare sired by Chrinicle DV and from the Lingxiu mare CP Kaitling. Her endurance potential is enormous and with Noni is sure to be reached.
Hi Carol,
Sorry I have not updated you for a while, I've been flat
out with exams in the last few days!
Yesterday Kally took another huge step all in her
stride... she quite happily let me lean over her and
'ride' her around the round yard.
She has only had the saddle on about 3-4 times, and she
really couldn't care less! No fuss, no tension, no
playing up on day 3 or any other time! Stirrups bashing
her up the side as she cantered around, reins flapping
etc. no issues! Her biggest concern has been a plastic
bag, and that only lasted until she decided to chew on
it and it didn't bite back...
She fussed quite allot about having the bit in for the
first time and the second time but she has improved
allot, now lowering her head and accepting it as soon
as I ask.
I'll see how she goes this afternoon and I might sit on
her fully, then just hop on and off, no riding around
yet, I'm too worried about making myself look like an
idiot! haha
She also had her first lesson with the wash bay
yesterday, she was not impressed but was fairly good,
ran out a few times then dug her little toes in and
refused to go back in, at which point I turned of the
hose, got her in there, tied her up and walked off and
left her for 1/2 an hr... that sowed a thought. She was
very happy to be my friend afterwards.
The only nastiness I've found in her so far is a strong
dislike of a Quarter horse that I rode a couple of days
ago, she attacked him this morning and showed him who
she belonged to...
Shes fantastic Carol!! Love her!!
Cheers,
Noni
Carole Past Updates We
have decided to stand the stallions at stud for the months of
August, September and October. It is for a limited amount
of approved mares. They stand at $1500 each.
I have some news from Noni Seagrim who is competing on CP Louisville (Chronicle DV x CP Louiza).
Hi,
I took Louie to Coolamon last weekend for his qualifying
80km ride, and he did it very successfully in 7hrs 4
mins, with only 3 B's in his log book for the entire
ride.
He was determined to have a gallop finish with another
big horse, and I had a bit of a struggle to keep him
back!! His Heart rates were again a credit to his
breeding rather than his lack of fitness!! they were 37,
46, 50. The final vetting was done as it started to get
cold and he was a bit shivery down in the arena, which
would have put his HR up.
I had intended to ride him completely barefoot but after
taking him for a ride on Saturday afternoon I knew i was
an extreme liability, he was just too soft from all the
rain at home, so I had shoes put on the front and he
completed the ride with both back feet bare.
He has fantastic courage and showed me a little bit of
what he was capable of on some portions of the 2nd leg,
opening up into a huge flying canter, and just
cruising!!!! I cant wait to get him really fit and start
campaigning him and I cant wait to get started on
Kaliente as well.
I had better go, I have 4 stables to clean before
breakfast!!
Cheers,
Noni
There isn't that much happening at Coolinda Park at the moment. We are having a great season with lots of rain. Grass growing everywhere and the horses are really enjoying it. We have no foals due this season so that is keeping things quiet as well. The ag shows are starting in our area so we will be supporting as many of them as we can. We have donated garlands for the purebred championships at the 3 shows to be held at the Bathurst showgrounds on the long weekend in October 2nd,3rd and 4th. For programs go to www.majesticstud.wetpaint.com Also on October the 4th is a 'b' class show at Morongla showgrounds. Lots of arab classes as well as second chance rings, showhunter ring and breed rings. Lots of chances to qualify for the 'Aussies'. Programs are available on www.emmasshowhorses.com I will leave you with a photo of the fillies. This was taken last week when we had a sunny spell. Thanks to Belinda Richardson for her photography skills. From left to right is: CP Ekstaza (WH Zmanor E x Carousel), CP Dances with me (Walidayt x Dancing in the Dark), CP Empress (WH Zmanor E x CP Esmeralda), CP Dewiza (WH Zmanor E x CP Darowizna), CP Waltzing Matilda (Walidayt x CP Montana) for sale, CP Wizja (WH Zmanor E x Carousel), CP Elza (WH Zmanor E x CP Dzaling), CP Tennesee Tess (WH Zmanor E x CP Texas Tilly), and the gelding CP Kazh (WH Zmanor E x CP Klara). CP Kazh is the only gelding that we have left for sale. Cheers Carole
Past Updates. As we
are dispersing we have some other items of interest for sale.
Firstly neck sweats. All sizes and types. From
gullet sweats to poll and over shoulder sweats. These
sweats have not been used for at least 10 years as our horses
have not needed them. The long necks and slim
throatlatches come naturally. Make an offer on the ones you
want. Will be sold a The
following photos
Also
as you may have noticed we get up to all sorts of things at
Coolinda Park. Pictured below is one of them. You
never know what may join our farm!!
I had a visit from breeders in New Zealand. Phillip and Alison Higgins from Nelson. Although not nearly long enough it was great to be able to show the horses to people who were really interested in seeing the polish bloodlines and of the course the horses had a wonderful time following them around and being nosey. It was a very interesting time and I wish them well on there journey in Australia and going to Kentucky to compete with the NZ squad at WEG. Till next time Carole Past Updates Things are really starting to move at Coolinda Park. The horses are selling and heading off to their new homes. Best of luck to all purchasers and I know that they will bring as much happiness to you as they have to me. We
have also been to a couple of shows in the last couple of
months. Firstly Arabs Inc held their Autumn Affair at
Canberra. This year they were able to run foal classes at
the beginning of the show. We took 2 foals for these
classes. CP Walencia (Walidayt imp USA x CP Errika)
pictured below, was shown in the pure arabian filly class.
The
next foal show was at Morongla and we took 3 foals. CP
Walencia (Walidayt imp USA x CP Errika), CP Winston (Walidayt
imp USA x CP Hello Dolly) and CP Adasha Flazh Last
weekend we went to the foal show at Bathurst with the same 3
foals. CP Walencia had a very scary day and thought that
she was just too excited to be shown! Well over 17hds this
time!! She placed second in her filly class. CP
Winston took it all in his stride and won the colt class and
then won Resv Champion Purebred Foal. CP Adasha Flazh
pictured below, again won all his colt classes and was awarded
Champion Buckskin and Resv Champion Arabian Derivative.
Another relaxed and enjoyable show.
We show our foals as naturally as possible and use these shows as experience for them. They arent clipped and are out there to have a relaxed time and enjoy themselves. They stay tied to the float and eat their hay and have a sociable time. When at home they run in the paddock together to play and grow. The above photos were all taken at Morongla show by Belinda Richardson of Khaliffa Arabians & Bullmastiffs. In
the sales news we have CP Kaliope and M Essential heading off to
their new homes in Victoria. These mares are heading to
the fire ravage area of Victoria to re-establish a damaged stud.
We wish them all the best with their future breeding program.
CP Kaliente has been sold into an endurance home. She will
be broken in and taken on the rides when ready. Keep an
eye out for her. CP Montana may soon be joined by another
as well. Which one will it be?? More photos have
been added to the sales list. I have been able to sponsor the purebred foal championships at all these foal shows with garlands that I have been making. I am also sponsoring the purebreds at the All breeds foal show at Hawkesbury on the 18th July and at the all breeds Youngstock show at Holbrook on the 1st of August. So if you would like garlands for the purebred classes or are interested in them for any part of an event please let me know. Till next time Carole Past Updates I have just added a couple of photos onto the sales page. CP Montana is sold and going to her new home in Victoria. I have made the decision to have a dispersal of all my pure polish Arabians. This decision has not come lightly. There are many reasons for the sale of the horses. All of them are in fat condition and fully registered. The first stage of the dispersal includes the following horses. Both of my beautiful stallions are available. Chronicle DV (imp USA) and WH Zmanor E (imp USA) have proven themselves in both the show ring and most importantly as superior sires. To be able to purchase such proven sires with world renowned bloodlines in Australia is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Don't miss this chance. The mares include: sired by Warranty imp/exp USA
Captivate sired by Creme Dynasty imp USA
CP Kaliope sired by Lingxiu dec
CP Dzaling
sired by Chronicle DV imp USA CP
My girl Lollipop sired by WH Zmanor E imp USA Ekstaza sired by Walidayt imp USA Waltzing Matilda There is also the following geldings: CP
Zloty Photos will be added to the website as they are available. Please contact me for more information on any of these horses. Carole
Past Updates I have some endurance news from Noni Seagrim and her gelding CP Louisville (Chronicle DV x CP Louiza):
Hi,
Just a quick line to say hello and to let you know that
Lou did another successful training ride last weekend.
He was barefoot with out boots all the way around the
rather demanding course. It was his first bare foot ride
and his performance was exceptional. He's gigantic
flowing trot blew everyone away, and he was reasonably
well behaved after some excitement at the start of the
ride, he does a lovely side pass!!
His pre ride Heart Rate was a little silly 52 BPM, but
it was his first ride of the season and he was a little
exited. Everyone of his scores was a perfect A. Also due
to our uncertainty of being able to load and unload him
from our truck, I rode him from Forest Hill In Curtain,
Canberra to the ride base at the Kambar Pony Club
so instead of doing just 40 km he ended up doing 50km +.
A very good effort for him, with minimal training.
I hope to take him to Coonabarrabran Equestrian Expo
this year as a part of the school team, it should allow
both of us to gain a little insight into the wide world
out side of endurance!!! I find out tomorrow if I
have made the team, so I'll let you know!!!
Cheers,
Noni
Some show results from Goulburn show:
Coolinda Park
Azpark (WF Zmanor E x Coolinda Park Aflame) owned by
Catherine Burgess of "Manton Park", Yass and Coolinda Park
Eksplojza (WF Zmanor E x Coolinda Park Erikka) flew the flag
for Coolinda Park at the 2010 Goulburn Show and showed what
wonderful ambassadors they are for the Arabian breed with
their calmness and acceptance of all that goes on at
agricultural shows. Azpark (or Sparky the Wonder Horse)
showed well for his owner, Catherine, and did a
lovely, well balanced work out and was just pipped at the
post for the Champion Purebred Led Gelding award but came
away with a well deserved Reserve Champion sash. Catherine
has got him looking great and his colour and shine are a
credit to the way Catherine looks after him. This was
only his second show so well done to both Sparky and
Catherine.
Eksplojza leased
from Coolinda Park by Judith Perkins of Bellmount Forest via
Gunning, NSW has had limited showing experience as well and
this was her second show for the 2009/2010 show season.
She is a late foal and has taken long to mature but has
really filled out in recent times and is starting to look
like more like a four year old rather than the gangly filly
she was last year. Her head has dried out a lot and
she is a lovely fronted mare with a fine, long, swan like
neck. In maturing she has still retained the substance and
refined elegance that will stand her in good stead in years
to come. In her mare class she stood beautifully for
Judith and stretched kindly when asked and "gave" at just
the right time. At the same time as her workout, some
motor bike riders on the sidelines decided that it was a
good time to start up their bikes and jump them onto the ute.
Eksplojza's eyes stood out on stalks but she responded well
and did a lovely workout despite all the action nearby.
She was awarded Champion Led Purebred Mare.
After showing
Catherine and Judith celebrated their respective wins over
coffee, wonderful chicken sandwiches and Anzac biscuits
whilst Sparky and Eksplojza munched on their hay nearby.
Both Catherine and Judith felt the effort of coming to the
show was worth it and look forward to getting out on the
western show circuit next season and again flying the flag
for Zmanor and Coolinda Park!
And now from New Zealand:
Some sale news. Mark Tulley and Lance Chapman of Armidale have been to Coolinda Park and picked up their new WH Zmanor E gelding from CP Lingxia bint Sepia. He is a full brother to CP Linkz and in their capable hands is sure to be as successful. Mark and Lance were able to spend a few days at Coolinda Park and a great time was had by all. Stay tuned for what else they have taken with them! CP Essenzia (WH Zmanor E x Vanessa Lea) will soon be leaving to her new home in Rockhampton QLD. Joining her on the trip will be her Mother Vanessa Lea. More details to come. Past Updates I
have some photos from the Dilutes Australia Championships held
We
also took CP Linkz (WH Zmanor E x Lingxia bint Sepia) for
the purebred classes at Wagga. Linkz walked away with
Supreme Champion Purebred as well as Resv Champion Led Galloway.
It was the first time she was shown in the Galloway ring and
really flew the flag for purebred arabians. All photos

The
following photos are of Emily over the last 12 months. Her
shetland Thorpeville Amos, has been taken to a lot of shows with
her as well as doing Pony Club. Emily loves to show at
halter and can often be seen giving him 'halter lessons' and
trotting him everywhere. Many judges and stewards have
commented on how well she gets him to stand and 'she shows him
like an arab!'. This one was taken at Canberra Royal 2009. Emily was 6 and Buddy 5. Photo credit Nicole Hewitt - All creatures photography

Photo credit Alicia Birch Photography. Keep an eye out for Emily and Toppgunn as they enter the ring this year. They have started dressage with a training day on the weekend and Emily is all excited about it. I have some sales news for you. Lisa and Fred Smith of Foxridge Stud in Coffs Harbour have purchased 3 horses from us. They now have added to there stud the 2yo chestnut filly CP Frezja (WH Zmanor E x CP Foxiling), the weanling filly CP Dahling (Chronicle DV X CP Dzaling) and a future sire CP Ganztar (WH Zmanor E x CP Chicago Lil). We hope to see these horses out in the showring in the future. Congratulations. I have altered the sales list and added some more females. I need to get some more photos but things are a bit busy at the moment with all foals weaned so all the stables are full. They will soon be added to the site. Cheers Carole
Past Updates Happy New Year! Hope the New Year finds you all happy and well. We had a great break over Christmas and enjoyed time with the family. Lots
has been happening at Coolinda Park.
Pictured above is CP Linkz (WH Zmanor E x Lingxia bint Sepia). Photo credit Alicia Birch photography. More photos from this weekend to follow. Some news about our youngest Pure Polish stallion Walidayt (imp USA). Walidayt is currently at Dumaresq stud, Dunedoo. Deanna writes
Wally in the river !
I Have been back riding after NY
and Have been just getting Wal use to all the water and
muddy stuff around. But today was the day we had to tackle
the river - its finally low enough as well ! We had about 8
inches of rain so the river was quite high to say the lest -
we lost our bridge as well !
I had ridden him through after
Roy had lead him down to the river edge. Wal is still very
unsure about the "boggy bits" but
Thanks Deanna. Its good to see horses out working. Walidayts' foal crop has been outstanding this year. We have a colt and a filly that we will be showing at the foal shows. They have the most wonderful temperament like their father and when cantering around the paddock you could imagine riding for miles on them. We do have one Walidayt filly for sale. Please check the sales list for Waltzing Matilda. Now for some news from Noni Seagrim and CP Louisville.
Hi Carol,
Just a quick update on Lou, we did a 40km ride at
Woodstock on the 17th-18th of October, and proved once
again what a little trooper he is!
He was a bit exited at Pre-ride wich pushed his heart
rate right up, but was perfect during the ride. He had
less than 2 weeks training leading up to the ride, after
about 8 months off while I've been at school, but was
barely tried the next morning and never paused in his
brisk pace.
My dad has expressed an interest in starting endurance
and requested Louie as his mount for next year due to
his cute careful manner, and loving nature!!
So with some help from Dad, Louie will be qualified next
year and I may also apply to have him put on to the
Australian Squad, because as so many people have said
his is the "pocket rocket" and the "secret weapon" in my
paddock!!!
He is now bouncing around school, the most perky horse
in the region, excelling in jumping and not bad in
dressage either.
Thanks again for a wonderful little horse, he is
awesome!!!!
Cheers,
Noni Seagrim We love to hear from Noni and her 'pocket rocket'. I have a bit of different news for you. I'll let you read it first..... Hi there' We will soon be starting to wean our foals. Just waiting for the heat to away! The full brother to CP Linkz has been sold to Mark Tully from Armidale. Mark has previously purchased geldings from us and I am sure he will do really well with this bloke. Watching him in the paddock today and I had a 'double take' and thought 'which foal is that?' He trotted across the paddock and then stood stretching his long neck. A very handsome foal who looks like he will follow in his sisters footsteps. There is a new stallion at Coolinda Park. Manildra Rob Roy is a very successful Palomino pony stallion. He is the grandsire of our Arabian Ponies and is staying here for a while. He is having a holiday from his home at Brampton Pony Stud in Wagga. So far Roy has adopted a lamb as a friend and is really starting to enjoy having words with Zmanor over the fence. A cattle truck stopped in and Roy thought it was dropping off girls for him. He was so excited and telling everyone till a cow got off the truck. He turned and went up the other end of the paddock as I dont think she was pretty enough! Visitors are most welcome to come and see Roy. He may even grace the show ring again! As you can see we have been updating the web site and all the pages. It has been a slow process and is still going so please bear with me. It is a steep learning curve! Carole
Past Updates I have added some more mares and fillies to the sales list. Please contact us for more information. Also the geldings are available from weanling to rising 3yo. Very busy with farm work at the moment, shearing sheep, marking lambs and carting hay. That's including the normal horse work and everything else. Lionel is back home from hospital again but is taking things very easy. Busy times ahead! I have some news from Jacqui Langfield and her WH Zmanor E Arabian Pony filly, Birdwood Romanz. Romanz, or Lady as I call
her, is having a super year!
Congratulations Jacqui, Romanz is a beautiful filly and always
turned out immaculately. So WH Zmanor E has now sired two
coloured foals. Birdwood Romanz is from a Palomino
Birdwood pony mare and the latest is our buckskin Arabian Pony
colt CP Adasha Flazh, from our buckskin mare CP Aflikka Soot.
Its good to see different colours in the paddock! I have taken a
couple of photos of the Walidayt imp USA foal from CP Errika.
Her name will be CP Walencia. Only a short update today....till next time
Carole
Past Updates The
mares have now finished foaling. We have had some lovely
I have some news on sales. As you can see from the sales page some of the horses have new homes. CP Enya, CP Edon and CP Essencia will soon be going to their new home In Colac, Victoria. Karen Hendley from Jarrah Lodge and in Karen's own words - "I am so excited, and the bloodlines, oh my gosh, WOW." So Karen is very excited and is sure to have the mares out in the show ring as soon as possible. And of course we never know who else might be joining them! I have some news from Catherine Burgess who purchased the gelding CP Azpark (WH Zmanor E x CP Aflame). Dear Carole, Lionel and
Shannon 1st classic head It was a pleasure to be able to support the Arabian classes at Morongla show. It is so obvious how much Sparkie loves his Mum. Such a delight to see somebody so excited about winning with their beloved horse. Thats it for now. We are really busy making hay and harvesting at the moment and Lionel has been having heart problems so a short stay in hospital for him. Hopefully all is well now and although recovery takes time he will soon be out and about again on the tractor.
Carole
Past Updates
The mares have started foaling. Our first foal is a lovely colt from Lingxia bint Sepia. Sired by WH Zmanor E this bloke is for sale as a colt until he is weaned and then he will be gelded. He is pictured left with his mum. Our second foal is a black colt sired by Walidayt from CP Hello Dolly. I will be getting some photos tomorrow of him. He looks very special. The next one is due in a couple of days so hopefully there will be some more photos. The mares have started to sell and CP Kaliope and CP Xza Xza will soon be off to there new homes. These mares have been very successful brood mares for us and now have the opportunity to go on as brood mares for another stud. I've added some more photo's to the sales page and the foal pages. More to follow. Now for some sleep!!! Carole Past Updates SALE O! SALE O! We are having a big spring sale. Prices start at $500. Please have a look at the sales page. Mares, fillies and geldings. Many are now going for $1000 to $2000. Payment plans available and leasing can be discussed. Numbers need to be reduced. If you are looking to bring some proven polish bloodlines into your horses then now is the time. They are already here in Australia so no importation expenses to get the up to date polish breeding. As we are reducing our breeding numbers we would like to see others have the opportunity to incorporate the Polish bloodlines into your own breeding. Its the last day of winter and we are eagerly awaiting our new foals to hit the ground. Such an exciting time of the year....anxiety, sleep deprivation, no fingernails left all of the good stuff! 12 foals due, including one special Arabian Pony sired by Zmanor from Coolinda Park Aflame's grand-daughter, CP Aflikka Soot (Brampton Sinbad x CP Aflikka). Three Pure Polish foals are due by our Ganges PASB son Walidayt (Imp. USA). 3 Pure Polish by Zmanor and 1 full sibling to CP Linkz(WH Zmanor E x Lingxia bint Sepia), also 4 Pure Polish by Chronicle DV (Imp USA). On the Social scene, today we have a New Zealand friend and fellow breeder - Belinda Simonds arriving for a short holiday, and in this time we plan to visit Deanna and Roy of Dumaresque Stud and catch up with Walidayt (Imp USA) hoping we will be able to bring you some up to date photos from the visit We have recently had a most enjoyable visit with the girls from Eskdale Stud in Q'land, and they took lots of photos. Judith Perkins from Canberra is another visitor, a long time breeder and competitor in the Arabian Scene with much success over many years Judith has been showing a Zmanor (Imp USA) filly and she has won Supremes in Judith's capable hands. Clarizza has gone to her new home past Rockhampton Q'land, and we expect she will quickly endear herself to her new owners with her sweet and loving nature, a trait typical of the fillies sired by WH Zmanor E (Imp USA).The other two sired by him in Q'land, a filly CP Seattle Zue and the gelding CP Azhley both owned by Lynda and Danny Rowan, have both won Championships at A class level for the very happy owners, both have the ability and type to have very successful careers in the Show Ring at a high level.
Seattle Zue (WH Zmanor E x CP Chicago Lil) - full sibling due this season and will possibly be for sale.
Pictured below is Linda with CP Azhley (WH Zmanor E x CP
Aflikka) at the Triumph show in QLD where they won Champion
gelding. photo credit Tracey Bavington.
Please have a look at the horse list to see the mares and fillies that are available. Till next time Carole
Past Updates Finally the computer is fixed again, and I can get you some of the news that has been happening here. We have had a couple of sales with one mare being sold to New Zealand, 3 fillies to QLD and 1 to Victoria. We have also competed at 2 foal and youngstock shows and have horses competing in endurance with trainers. First the sales.....Coolinda Park Zweet Dreamz (WH Zmanor E x Dream) now has new owners in New Zealand. CP Zweet Dreamz wont be making the trip to NZ at this stage, she will be left at Coolinda Park to foal and then continue being bred to the polish stallions. This allows her foals to go to NZ in her place. CP Miss Ellie (Chronicle DV x Dancing in the Dark) and CP Seattle Zue (WH Zmanor E x CP Chicago Lil) have gone to their new home in Rockhampton, QLD. They have gone to live with Lynda and Danny and CP Azhley. CP Azhley competed at his first show and Lynda has sent her results:
Hello Carole,
This morning we took Azhly to
his first show - run by the Central Queensland Quarter Horse
Assoc. He went in the any other breed class. The only
gelding there - then went up against a mare (QH type) for
Champion the very Quarter Horse judge gave him Champion - He
was the better horse but I thought she would just go for the
QH type. So how is that for a start to his show
career. He was so beautifully behaved didn't shy at
the fluro orange flags or anything else - just strutted
around looking beautiful.
He did get quite a few comments
like - "Gee isn't he a good type for an Arabian" and
"he is so quiet and sensible" We were very proud of
him. Oh and yesterday afternoon we thought we
should give both Azhly and Zue a float lesson. Zue
walked straight on and then Azhly had a look but went on
without any argument. That is the first time he had
been on the float - he had only been on the truck to come
here about 1 year ago,Love Lynda
![]() That
is so good to hear. I have added a photo of Miss Ellie
with the saddle on for the first time too. Cant wait to
see her out under saddle. Another sale to Rockhampton is
Clarizza (WH Zmanor E x S Polska). Clarizza will be
going to Rockhampton very soon to another arabian enthusiast for
a show career and later brood mare. More details later.
CP Elizja (Chronicle x CP Enya) has been sold to Victoria
and will soon be gracing the showring down there.
I have a photo of CP Macgyver (Chronicle DV x Facincation) doing his first endurance ride at Tumburumba. He completed the ride successfully and is now training for his next one.
Walidayt imp USA was taken to his first show with Deanna of Dumaresq stud. Deanna has been riding Walidayt and decided to take him out. Walidayt won his class and then went on to win Champion Stallion against lots of pony stallions.
Nicole from Ashton Park Arabians has sent of photo of the
weanling filly CP Arizona (WH Zmanor E x CP Aflight).
CP Aflight won the trot class at many shows including East Coast
and this filly has the combined trot of both her mother and
father. The photo speaks for itself!
I have added a new link on our links page. Its for Jim Findlay from Bomac Animal Health Pty Ltd. Jim writes:
Have
a look at there website and maybe try some of their products. Till next time I will leave you with a photo of our weanlings inspecting what we are doing. Going left to right there are 3 WH Zmanor E fillies and then 3 Walidayt fillies. Carole
