Chamfron Ombu Sold
Chamfron Ombu has headed off to Pat Howe on Dartmoor, a super natured foal who I think will be the spitting image of his dad in a couple of years time. Hopefully he will be helping with the Dartmoor pony drifts in the future, a job I'm sure he will excel at (and love!)
October
Tilting
We took Arrayan to Rockrose Equestrian Centre at the beginning of the month for a "have a go at Tilting" day. Good fun and I managed to get a ring ( Look <----- Proof!) Mark got several and everyone enjoyed themselves. Photo with thanks to Angela Fotheringham.
Northern Lights
Absolutely amazing show of the Northern Lights that lit up the whole stud.

Returning Chamfrons!
Mark has been extremely busy with horses in for breaking and schooling this summer and it has been lovely to have horses back both by Exbury Ghost and Arrayan Numa. Full siblings Chamfron Cactus Jack and Chamfron Angel Dust came for a quick tune up. Will Ramsey's Kitty (by Arrayan Numa) came for seven weeks polo schooling and Chamfron Sakura (pictured) has arrived to be broken in. The photo shows her happily working in open fields, her fifth time ridden.

Lucia Update
Thanks to Claire for letting us know that Will Ramsey's home bred Arrayan Numa filly won Best Playing Pony at Perth Spring Tournament. We had Lucia here for polo schooling last year and she is the spitting image of her dad. Arrayan has two fillies playing polo and they have both had a BPP already this season. Arrayan also won a BPP at Perth so it is great to see his youngsters are doing the same.

New Mare
We are very excited to add the high goal polo pony Morena to our broodmare band. She has played in Sotogrande and in the arena Gold Cup last season. She should breed some exciting polo foals for us.
Arrayan's very first foal from a visiting mare is now playing polo and Cath Wilson recently let us know that Alba was awarded Best Playing Pony at Easter Pony Club Polo camp in her first season playing.
