12/02/2003 - Cherokee Sundancer a 15.1hh pinto-loosa from the pinto pony mare, Minnie was sold today. He was broken and trained by Peter. The new owner was most impressed by his temperament and easy going attitiude complimenting Peter on the results of work with the horse.
15/02/2003 - Aquarius Park Shatahn, our new stallion, will be competing in the Warwick 80/40km Ride. Ridden by Heavyweight rider, Peter Kelly. Peter has been very impressed with his training to date and is looking forward to promoting our stallion out and about. News about this and other rides will be updated on this page. So keep coming back.
15/03/2003 - Joe (AP Shatahn) has completed his first ever endurance ride. The ride was a 42km at Killarney. The 42km was chosen as recent rain upset training. His behaviour was fantastic, especially for a stallion on his first endurance competition. Joe averaged 12km/hr and recieved straight A's in every vet check.
His HR was 35 pre-ride (due to pre-ride excitement), 38 at the end of the first leg, and 39 at the completion of the ride. We are very proud of this horse.
24/04/2003 - Easter long weekend was spent at Imbil at the Faraway. Joe competed in the trainer ride on Saturday and finished and vetted through very well. On Monday he went to another trainer with good vetting until the last 8km mark when he was a little off due to some rocks or uneven ground. He was vetted through but Peter pulled him out. It was later found out by the horse chiropractor that he was out in the neck and off hind. So he was given a few days off.
25/05/2003 - Joe competed at the LOVERS ride 80km for his first long ride. Vetted through well for the first leg, but vetted out lame on the last due to the same lameness problem encountered at the Faraway ride. So more treatment required for that. His heartrate and other metabolic checks were great, one of the best skin recoil results of the ride.

30/03/2003 - Joes full sister - AQUARIUS PARK SHARDONNAY - has been sold to the Middle East and will be exported to ABU DHABI in the UAE. She has successfully completed 3 x 80km rides and 1 x 120km ride. Click on link
Aquarius Park Shardonnay for photo's, etc.
27/07/2003 - Joe attended the Spring Mountain 80 km ride. Completed his first 80km endurance ride. The morning was icey, very cold for sunny QLD. Vetted through very well. He was a bit confused by having to go out again after the first 40km, but continued on his steady way. He got 13th Heavyweight.
8/10/2003 - Will have more news and update the site when the foals hit the ground.
