Breeding season is once again in full swing
at Tarwin Grove with many outside mares
visiting for breeding or foaling. There have
been some lovely foals born and AI success
rates have been good. Our own mares, Tarwin
Grove Wisteria Lane and Mareille(Imp) will
be bred shortly. Hollingrove Alisa and
Hollingrove Chantilly are due to foal in
early February.
 Our
photo session with Sandy Morphett took place in October.
All four horses proved to be a photographers nightmare
as they were so quiet and relaxed! Never the less, Sandy
managed to get some great photos. Our beautiful imported
mare Mareille was a bit on the fat side due to the
incredible spring grass we had but enjoyed her time in
the limelight!

At the recent Young Event Horse Competition in NSW
Tarwin Grove Sydney owned by Lauren Balcomb scored very
well receiving 4th place in the 4 year old class. He
also attended a clinic with Andrew Hoy where Andrew rode
him and had some very positive things to say. Lauren and
Sydney are creating a super partnership. Sydney is now
having a well deserved break.
Our
rising 3 year olds Tarwin Grove Spitfire and Tarwin
Grove Roslau are both progressing well with their
lessons and are happy and confident in their work. They
are worked once or twice a week with some expert
guidance from Matthew Archibald and Oswald Johnen. TG
Roslau is to be kept as a riding horse for Catherine.
Due to the time demands of being a vet and running the
stud TG Spitfire will be for sale to the best of homes.
He is a beautiful confident horse with a huge future
ahead of him.
Our two Fidertanz fillies TG Floriana and TG Fidermeyer
are also offered for sale. Ideally we would like to keep
one of them for the breeding program and as we are
equally delighted with both we will let the market
decide who this will be. Please see our for sale page
for details.
