Summer Wrap up,,,,,,,, now this will take some time........
After we had given up hope, great news that Rosthwaite Love Potion has returned a positive test to Weston Sun. Yes it will be a late one but since the dear girl is already 17 (which ain't young for a t/b) we are pleased she has conceived.

December Wrap Up
Our lovely two year old Weston Mirage colt Salisbury Tribute is going to be a daddy. He served our new Galloway mare Riverlodge Serenity and she is due in November. Will be an interesting cross, both have the kindest of natures and fine bone.
"Rumours" the beautiful T/B mare by Toy Pindarri and dam of our Salisbury Hot Gossip (and successful Galloways Janevelyn Memphis (recent ribbon winner at Canberra Royal 2007) and J Manchester (4th Led 14-14.2hh SHCQ Hygain Masters 2006) is now a permanent fixture to our broodmare band (thank you Frank Cincotta of Grandeur Stud). We look forward to breeding many more Galloway super stars with her in the future.
Anna Zorzetti and Salisbury Savanna attended Kilmore Agricultural show with dear "Inky" winning his led RP class.
December heralded the long awaited arrival of Ascot Toy Soldier and what a lovely man he is to have around the farm. Toy got busy to work and we can now report that 5 mares are in foal to him for season 2007, 3 of our own and 2 outside ladies. Due to the drought visiting mare numbers were low but the good news is Toy is staying on to continue his Victorian Stud duties and will be available for Spring 2007. So get in early and breed yourself a beautiful baby.
We also joined in with our first Stud Open Day with the G&PRPG. It was a very busy few days leading up to the weekend but worth it, lovely to meet new people and share banter about our love of horses and in particular "Breeding" ponies.
November News Updated 04-03-07
Kirreway View-Point arrives at Salisbury Stud.
Thanks to Michelle Chaundy for allowing us to own this lovely Cats Whiskers mare. Rather a successfull in-hand mare in her day, she stands at 14hh and is a true black with sweeping front. We look forward to putting her to Ascot Toy Soldier this season and in the future joining her with both our colts.
Salisbury Lord Amsbury and Bree Petrie had a very good event at Hygain 2006. The gorgeous little "Baxter" totally thrilled us to take out 4th in the intermediate Large Pony. He has really come a long way in the past few months and Bree and co owner Judy Ivory are to be congratulated for all their care and hard work.
Salisbury Suspicious Love attended Traralgon Agricultural Show, to win her Senior Led Riding Pony Class.
A quiet Riding Pony Pageant for Salisbury Stud only taking Salisbury Suspicious Love. She did us proud placing 2nd in a extremely competitive Senior Riding Pony mare class 12.2-13.2hh and 3rd in the Part Welsh Mare. Salisbury Savanna also attended and I was very proud to led him in his class for owner Anna Zorzetti. "Inky" was a good boy and although a bit nervous it didn't take him too long to understand what was required (especially standing up for judging). He won his class and in the Championship didn't put a foot wrong. Congratulations to Anna on preparing him so beautifully, he has grown into a very handsome Galloway in deed.
Salisbury My Guy & Salisbury Tribute both attended the GRPG Y/S show at Tonimbuk Equestrian Centre both coming home with a Reserve Champion, S My Guy in the Part Welsh ring and S Tribute in the Riding Pony ring. Both boys were beautifully behaved. This was Tribute's last show for season as he is now to start serving mares.
Salisbury Eclipse is doing well for owner Ashlee Harrison, winning Champion Ridden Hack at Sale Show 2006.
Salisbury Savanna competed at Whittlesea Agricultural Show winning his RP led class. Owner Anna Zorzetti was very pleased with how "Inky" handled his first show.
Barakee Olivia, dam of S Suspicious Love and Puzzle, produced a gorgeous leggy Chestnut colt late at night (around 11.30pm) on the 11th of November. Very pretty and full of spunk, we just love him to pieces and have named him Salisbury Sunset, paddock name Archie (because he is a red-head).
Three foals down and three to go. Due at the start of January (literally as I type) is our beautiful T/B mare Lady Marlin (Kel). Kel has already produced for us S Savanna (owned by Anna Zorzetti) and S Satine (ready to hit the show ring any day now). Kel is in foal to Myscal Encore, the sire of dual Supreme Riding Pony exhibit at the Summer Royal, Merivale Park Town Fair. The resultant foal already has a first option taken on it if it is a filly. We all wait with baited breath and believe me, Kel is keen to see this one pop out too.
Salisbury Pierre is back in the show ring. Received news from Garydowns stud in WA that one of our favourties has returned to the show ring with a BANG. At the start of November he was Supreme of Supreme's at Busselton Show 2006 then Supreme at Brunswick (as well as one of his fillies going Champion) and also winning Champion and Supreme at Harvey Show. What a little super star. Pierre is a half brother to S Lord Amsbury and S Tribute.

Confirmed in foal
What a trying season it has been. Lady Marlin and Baby Doll of Astral have been at Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital for some months now with no positive results to the Johnny (Weston Mirage) semen. A few weeks back we decided to launch plan B and contacted Judy Ivory to use chilled semen from her lovely stallion Myscal Encore. Good news phone call at long last and I am sure the technicians at GVEH were relieved, Lady Marlin is positive in foal to Myscal Encore. "Corey" is breeding some lovely stock, his son Merival Park Town Fair has claimed the coveted Supreme Riding Pony Exhibit in hand at the Summer Royal the past two years. I am sure a future galloway star in the making.

A total doll (big doll, legs up to her armpits, as they say).

We delivered him to his new home and new mum on the 31st of July and he was the first lucky traveler to ride in the new "Salisbury Coach". Anna has the most beautiful horsy home and Inky is going to get all the love and hugs he has ever dreamed of (he is very sooky and loves a kiss).

Final Foal News for 2004-2005
Our quality producing T/B mare Dual Nova has produced a simply breath taking filly foal by the lovely Anglo Stallion Penmarric Picasso. Fortunately it was the first day of the Summer Royal (5th of January) so we happened to be up and about ready to put the finishing touches on Salisbury Suspicious Love before we headed of to Werribee. My partner Shane commented to me that I should go have a closer look at our expectant mum. As I wandered down the lane way, in the rain, I really thought it was a false alarm but as I studied and stared, to my amazement "there was movement at the station". We got to the show, fortunately not even running late and we had great news to share with friends (and pics) of our new little bundle of joy.
Summer Royal Results
We had a good show for 2005. With only three classes between two ponies (the full brother and sister Salisbury Suspicious Love and Salisbury Puzzle) we achieved.

Show News VIC RP Pageant
Well it was a good day for the Weston Mirage stock. They did their sire proud with winning Supreme Y/S exhibit (Janevelyn Hearts on Fire, same accolade that Salisbury Suspicious Love won two years ago). Hearts on Fire then went on to win the Grand Champion Show Pony in hand exhibit, congratulations Frank & Anthony. Janevelyn Truth or Dare went Champion Y/S Gelding for my good friend Nicole Guppy (Nicole used to own Salisbury Kindred Spirit now exported to NZ). In the Y/S gelding line up 3 out of the 4 winners were by Weston Mirage (Salisbury Puzzle, Janevelyn Truth or Dare and Janevelyn Chivas Regal). It was a great thrill to see so many of his babies out doing so well and credit to their owners and producers for doing such a great job. Salisbury Puzzle had his show ring debut. A full brother to Salisbury Suspicious Love, this little grey gelding took it all in his stride and came home with a blue rosette. He behaved beautifully and has a huge future ahead of him as child's small saddle pony.
For more information on the VIC RP Pageant click here and go to the horsedeals webpage. It was also the first time that I presented the WESTON MIRAGE MEMORIAL PERPETUAL TROPHY for the Grand Champion Ridden exhibit of the day. Thank you to the Vic Riding Pony committee for letting me offer this award on behalf of my beloved Johnny and congratulations to Melinda Ralph and her gorgeous Galloway mare Grand Parade a very deserving winner.

Finally - Foal News 13/11/04
Our beautiful T/B mare, Kel, waited until we arrived early Saturday morning to present us with the most divine black filly, with the longest legs.
The whole experience was very exciting for both Shane and I, the first Salisbury Pony we have witnessed coming into the world. Mum was a gem and was very happy for me to play mid-wife. There had been so much rain over night (40ml's) that I was trying desperately to stop bubby from flip flopping into the mud as she struggled to gain her footing. All are happy and healthy. Pics up shortly.
Foal News - UPDATE 28/10/04
Whilst we busily prepared the nursery for our T/B mare to foal. Wingana Dolly Parton had ideas of her own and surprised us with a lovely bay filly nearly three weeks early.

The first official foal to be born on our new property at Garfield.

Salisbury Illusion attended his first show, Lang Lang Agricultural show. He was an absolute gem to handle and really enjoyed himself. He placed 2nd in his yearling colt/filly/gelding RP class to the lovely Sanlirra filly showed by the Chaundey's of Tooradin.
Kirreway/Kolbeach Sale
Janette Crutchfield and I made the trip up to Eric's property for his bi-annual sale. There were many people present and as usual the atmosphere was fantastic and it was a pleasure to view all the quality stock from both studs. I had gone with the intent of maybe finding myself a big riding horse so looked at a few youngsters from both prefix's. Lucky for my bank balance it was not to be so.
Doing well
Salisbury Regal Heir has been out to four shows now with his Junior jockey. He won his Newcomer class last week at Traralgon and was Reserve Champion to the Parkers 12.2 & under mare. He also got called in at the Vic Riding Pony Pageant in both his newcomers and his child's pony ridden's.
Another Beauty
In the earlier hours of October 30, my lovely Black T/B mare produced another black sensational colt. Named "Jet" this simply stunning boy looks to follow in his full brothers hoofprints. He is similar to last years foal "Eclipse", no white, very handsome but this one might be a tad smaller, maybe small galloway. Compact, with a very pretty head and can move already. Well done "Trinity".
Congratulations
Salisbury Pierre is a dad. Foaled early October, owner Geoff Garton says a gorgeous Liver Chestnut filly, just what they ordered and a star like dad in the making I am sure.
