NEWS:
12 March 2012: We managed to make it through the flood waters to attend the Australian Halter Showcase, after a week of floods it was nice to get our feet onto some dry land! Our boys put in some good runs and we came home very happy with them. Summertime Blues placed 3rd in a big Amateur Senior Trail class, and finalled in the Senior HUS - his first ever HUS class! Imagine Me In Blue placed 7th in the 3yo HUS Showcase, and had a beautiful run in the 3yo Western Pleasure Showcase against some very tough competition. Big congratulations to Rachel Elliot and My Deliberate Breeze (out of Tempted To Concent) on winning the Amateur Jnr Trail and Highpoint Junior Amateur of the show. Many thanks to Lisa Angus Photography for the gorgeous photos.
27 February 2012: We had a great time at the Summer Sizzler, always nice to catch up with friends, and we love watching good pleasure horses strutting their stuff. Congratulations to Lyn Crapper & The Grey Coupe on placing 2nd in Select Amateur Western Pleasure; we were very happy with SummerTime Blues placing 3rd in Amateur Senior Trail over a tight trail course. Imagine Me In Blue placed 6th in the 3yo Western Pleasure, and finalled in a big Amateur Junior Western Pleasure class, along with his big brother A Tahnee Bit Blue and Sarah Brockhoff.

29 December 2011: Hope everyone had a great Christmas, and wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year!! Nitro (Good Prophecy x Chocolate Obsession) is now 2 months old, and growing like a weed. He is starting to turn grey and showing all the traits we want in a pleasure prospect. We are really happy with this little guy, he is such a cool dude! 
29 November 2011: This is always a hectic time of year for us, cutting hay, watering, and breeding mares; but we took some time off to attend the Victorian QH State Show held at Tatura from 24th to 27th November.

Lyn Crapper and The Grey Coupe continued to perform consistently, placing 3rd in the Select Amateur Western Pleasure and the Select Amateur Western Pleasure Feature. We were very happy with our own Imagine Me In Blue, who placed 5th in the 3yo Western Pleasure Feature, and 4th in 3yo Hunter Under Saddle.
