Cleveland Bay
Born: 1999 - 17.3hh
Sire: Emperor Oberon
Dam: Kalgan Windup
Tobi has the most amazing temperament - I was offered him direct from the paddock in WA - miles from anywhere and having not been handled since he was 18 months old - and at this stage he was 9... He just takes everything in his stride.
Holsteiner
Born: 1970 - 16.3hh
Sire: Waterman
Dam: Cambia
Wildfeuer is CM Oberon Toblerones grandsire, and you can certainly see his influence in him. You can get a feel for how prepotent the Cleveland Bay is - Wildfeuer had Purebred CB blood back in his lineage in the 1840s, with Duke Of Cleveland and Brilliant - as far back as the late 1700s with Duke of York too. It always amuses me when dont want to associate their European Warmbloods with Clevies - however if they looked back through their lineage - the would see that the Cleveland Bay was influencial in their breed being established.
Allen Park Bald Eagle (Dec)
Station Bred Stock Horse
Born: 1974 or 1975
Sire: Santee (Station Bred Stock Horse)
Dam: Limpy Lady (TB)
Black and White Stallion - Sire was a Grey and White Station Bred Stock Horse, dam was a Black TB He was born in 1974 or 1975 and died in 2008 when we put him down. He was still getting mares pregnant at 32 1/2 yrs old!! He sired some wondeful foals and is well known in SA.
Thoroughbred
Born: 1999 - 16.2hh
Sire: Danzig Connection
Dam: Herself
Ziggy, as he was known at home, was purchased through a clearing sale - I always say I liked his bone structure - as I could see all of it! He had Joint Ill as a foal which put paid to any chance of a racing career for him - but he was used to sire some station bred stock horses til his owner passed away and he came to live with us. We put him to a few of our nicely bred CBSH and WBSH mares and were very pleased with the results. We had to put Ziggy to sleep when his leg started giving him trouble.
