The Arawel Lodge team has had a very successful year of showing 2009. A.L. Shakira, winning Champion Mare at the Qld All Welsh, going on to win Supreme Welsh Exhibit at the Fraser Coast Welsh Feature and then to the RNA with her huge belly going on again to win Supreme Welsh Mountain Pony at Brisbane Royal.
Nilton Minuette is proving to be my next show exhibit, winning Dry mare at Qld All Welsh, 1st Mare Fraser Coast and 1st Mare at Brisbane Royal. Just cant seem to beat Shakira. Might leave Shakira at home for a while...
Arawel Lodge Bay Baron also doing very well winning gelding classes, including Supreme Gelding at Fraser Coast. Now getting ready to break in.
I would like to thank Lorelle Laffey, and David Whye for all their help with showing and preparing my ponies.
We have had two foals so far, a filly out of Nilton Minuette and of course no. 7 colt from Shakira. Awaiting a couple more later in the season, last crop of foals from Bambury Baron.
I would also like to thank Michelle Shephard of Snowdon Vale Stud for the fantasic opportunity of having the exceptional stallion "ELARGEE PENZANCE" (Brecn Bach Poppy Soldier imp NZ x Elargee Primrose) on lease for my stud.
