What a ride!

On the 14th & 15th of January we attended the Downs Arabian Club Inc’s annual trail ride at Jangharm Arabians, Ramsay.

Tracey rode Eskdale Double Dare and Fiona Maltry rode Evindra’s Kastanah Gem. Approximately 25 horses and riders participated with the trail travelling along the roads before heading up into the mountains. 

Both our horses were very high spirited at the start of the ride and coped very well with the sometimes rough terrain on the mountain side. Our horses and riders all made it back to camp safe and sound.

Pictured are Fiona on Evindra’s Kastanah Gem and Tracey on Eskdale Double Dare preparing to ride out, and a group of riders leaving the farm.

Eskdale Double Dare 

We had a successful show at the Top of the Range with Eskdale Double Dare (aka Bob) placing 1st Quarab Gelding and winning Champion Quarab exhibit under judge Tamas Rombauer of Hungary.  

A big thank you to Richard Sharman for showing ‘Bob’ to his championship and to Wayne Backhouse for presenting him in the Supreme lineup. Thanks also go to  Isabel Zdora or Fiona Maltry or their work behind the scenes.

Eskdale Madeline Rose

We had success in the purebred and derivative rings at the Top of the Range show. Eskdale Madeline Rose placed 2nd in her age class under judge Tamas Rombauer of Hungary.  As always she trotted up a storm and was a crowd favourite.  She will now take a well deserved holiday from the halter ring.

Eskdale Silver Kimberley

1990 - 2011

We are sad to announce the passing of Eskdale Silver Kimberley (Zarhedahn x Ambassadors Silver Destiny)

Kim was the very first purebred Arabian bred at Eskdale. A beautiful filly that grew into a tall and feminine mare.  Kim produced four foals, Eskdale Asjmir (x Bremervale Wisdom), Eskdale Kaliia Bae (x Alii), Eskdale Khamis (x Abu Shaklan and Eskdale Mystify (x Eskdale Espirique) She was an excellent mother and has carried the line of her dam Ambassadors Silver Destiny forward. We have retained her daughter Eskdale Khamis.

Kim will be very sadly missed.

It’s a boy!

Rose of Sarangani has foaled a stunning bay-going-grey colt sired by Baranski.  Born at 8.45pm on Sunday September 18.

He is very similar in type to his full sister Eskdale Madeline Rose. As the only maternal half brother to US champion *Rahere, this colt has very big boots to fill!

He is pictured at approximately 12 hours old.

Panmure Sarah 1982 - 2011 We are sad to announce the passing of Panmure Sarah (Sunshine Bey x Amstel Fire Song) Sarah came to us later in life and gave us two filly foals, the second of which we have retained.  She was an excellent mother but really found her calling as a nanny after she retired from the broodmare band. She was absolutely invaluable as a companion horse for foals, weanlings and young horses. Her sweet nature and unique personality will be very sadly missed.
