Breeding After seeing the influence of breeding in both eventing and dressage we decided to get ahead of the game and start breeding horses for ourselves.  Using my Big Break contest winnings we invested in some well bred mares with both impressive breeding and solid performances as riding horses.  With bloodlines like Sir Tristram, King of Babylon, Northern Congress, Belcam Jaguar, Ludendorf, Grand Kavalier, we have bred to the best dressage and jumping stallions, including Jive Magic, Regardez Moi and Falkrick to mention a few. These bloodlines represent some of the most competitive performance horses of all time. The broodmares are managed by my mum, Dorne, in sunny Queensland, Australia.  She is responsible for ensuring the mares go in foal, looking after the mares during foaling and managing their welfare as they grow.  This is no easy task as breeding horses comes with rough times as well as the good times!!

The young horses have a good country upbringing running up and down hills, chasing kangaroos and avoiding the wombats!  With mum's handling and a quiet environment to grow up in, they become very well rounded and mature young horses. Between the breeding and raising of young horses in Australia and the riding and competing in the USA this is truly an international operation!
