Midas Performance Horses

 

Sire: The Harlequin          Dam: Nativity (TB)

Bell is a  Bay/Brown tobiano mare standing 15h. She didn't commense showing extensively until a five year old as she was very hot to handle. With a lot of work this mare has become one of the top performance pintos in Western Australia, with too many wins to mention. Her big win for 2006 was at the Perth Royal Show where she won Supreme Pinto Exhibit. She has won Supreme Led Exhibit of the Show at Darling Range Pre Royal Breed Show  and Northam Ag Show and consistently been in the Top 5 at most of her breed shows.Bell has over 50 Supreme Pinto sashes, a Supreme Show Hunter Galloway at the All Stars Show,  Supreme horse over 14h, plus many more Championships led and ridden Breed.

Add to this the fact that she was the first Pinto to do Official Hacking in Western Australia and has many Championships to her credit, including High Point Official Hack at the York Horseman's Association, as well as twice placing in the Show Hunter at Perth Royal. A talented  natural jumper, Bell has also won several show jumping and dressage competitions and we have one very special mare. We are very proud of this beautiful much loved lady! Unfortunately Bell has severely injured her near hind fetlock bringing a premature end to her amazing show career. She is now in the brood mare paddock and playing "granny"to our two new babies.

Our resident rogue, Buzz is a lovely red Bay Partbred Welsh Gelding standing 14.3 1/2h. As a saddle horse he has been very successful for us winning Supreme Ridden Exhibit of the Show at the last two Avon Valley Breed Show's and he was awarded High Point Galloway of the Year at the York Horseman's the only year he competed, defeating several very successful show horses. In 2007 we decided to do some led classes with Buzz and he was awarded Supreme Unregistered Exhibit at Darling Ranges Breed Show, Champion Show Hunter Gelding at the All Stars Show as well as several other awards. After having a spell Buzz has come back better than ever and  will be out and about this season.

Currently on spell due to injury

  

Vic is a half brother to the extremely successful mare Midas Simply Irresistable. He will mature over 16h , at 2 years he is already over 15.2h . Victa has movement to die for, look at me presence and a wonderful temperment.   He will make a fantastic performance horse. Victa is now broken in and going very kindly. He is extremely tractable and a quick learner.

We purchased Duke on the 14th February 2007. This boy has a big future ahead of him and is a true gentleman at home. Duke stands 14.2h and is registered 50% Partbred Arabian and Pinto. He has 4 foals currently, 3 of which are pintos. From Dukes last couple of shows he has come home with the following;

2010 SA Pinto State Championships - Grand Champion Stallion

   

The first time i met this lovely horse, he was very thin and his hooves had grown around his shoes. He wasnt in a good state and i was told that I either took him or he would be put down. It has been a long road to recovery for Corey and he is now looking and feeling better than he has in years. On the track he has won over $50,000 in prize money and has an amazing temperament on him. Corey will be coming out shortly under saddle and will hopefully be competeing at next years Newcomers. Standing approximately 15.2h he has a great future ahead of him.

Music is Sharla's "baby". She put her stunning anglo mare Tingledale Sheer Presence to Parker's black Riding Pony stallion,Rockview Raven's Wing and Music was the result. A very gentle, kind boy standing just under 14.2h,he has temperment to die for and such a tractable nature. Although not broken in until last year and sparingly ridden since, he is coming along beautifully with a soft mouth and stunning movement. He is a very elegant little man and will be making his debut in the show ring in the 2008 - 2009 season. We have no doubt that he will be successful.

Stars is a chestnut overo foundation miniature gelding who was until recently a very successful stallion. His son Sierra Autumn Oakie was Champion Mini Pony Stallion at this years 2008 Perth Royal and one of his granddaughters was Supreme Mini Pony.

He was originally owned by my late best mate Mandy Palmer and every time I went to Sierra Stud I had to see Stars as I have always loved the little man. Mid 2008 Jan and Sarah Palmer offered him to me as a gelding and I jumped at the chance. Although I judge Mini's frequently, I never thought I'd own one.... well now I do and I love him to bits. He's so well mannered both at home, where he keeps Piper company, and out at shows and loves getting out and showing off despite having to put up with Bell in the float and her "kill the mini" attitude.  He will be coming out in harness in the 2009-2010 season.

Stars has now decided to fight back!!! Bell  now "shares" the float!!!!

We have been fortunate to be able to obtain the stunning sabino warmblood mare Kenlock Ashanti to take over from "Bell" when she retires to the maternity ward. Ashanti is a real stunner, standing 15.2h at 4 years she should mature about 16 hands plus. Her sire is the amazing 16.3h sabino warmblood jumper High Rail Roll The Dice and her dam is a Thoroughbred mare Big Sally.

Recently registered as a Pinto, albeit a minimal color one, she will be shown at the 2009 Perth Royal Show. Currently being reeducated under saddle by Sharla , she has amazing athletic movement that is truly eyecatching and a lovely kind nature. 

Ashanti's future includes breed classes, ridden breeds, official hacking, where she will really confuse some judges with her color, official dressage, show jumping, which she was bred for and eventually eventing.............a truly versatile Pinto!
