25/8/07 First progeny of Hyksos Benjamin
to be broken to saddle - anglo filly SC Ruby owned by Karen Carter of Watchem
VIC, and ridden by her daughter Paige.
Karen writes: Had first
canter today on Ruby, gosh so slow and comfy she's such a good
girl. Then rode her to letter box, tied her to tree whilst i got mail then
rode her home, no dramas what so ever. Not bad for a 2yo undersaddle just a
week. Wish they were all this quiet.
Then she got her feet trimmed, tail washed and mane pulled, cant say she was
too impressed with all that, but she tolerated it all.

9/7/07 Testamonial (unpaid!)
from Shannon McGill re 7 mth old Piney Range Red Diamond. Another satisfied
customer!
"Gosh I can’t begin to tell you how amazing that filly is! We are
having breakthroughs in our relationship EVERY day!
Yesterday Diamond
and I played ‘chasey’ around the top paddock and a large pine tree
and today she let my sit on her while
she was laying down sunning herself! What a temperament!!!
You so need to put Jewel over Claire again Catherine. What a combo they have made!
Do you know how
much FUN I was having playing with Diamond yesterday? I felt so privileged to
have her wanting to be with
me so much and that she trusts me enough to let me in. I
can’t believe that she allowed me to sit on her, though I was
VERY careful not to
hurt her but still…..WOW!
Brimming with excitement
is what I am tonight.
Wish there’d been someone else there with a video camera so I could show
you!"
8/7/07 The oats on 2/3 of
