A few weeks later Toozie fronted up at the Q'ld Challenge and as can be seen from the photos, she will be a force to contend with in the near future.

Placing highly in hotly contested classes, this young lady took everything in her stride placing 2nd in her Novice and 3rd in Intermediate, plus other placing u.s.

Again Reserve Champion Led this time to the fabulous Lush,  showing that you can be a successful halter horse as well as a competitive saddle horse.

HILLBREEZE FRENCH FOLLY
French Kiss x Salute
2009 ACE ASSESSMENT TOUR
Our young stallion, Hillbreeze French Folly had his first ever outing when he was presented for classification to the respected assessor,  Mr. Gerd Kust, who has been involved with the Holsteiner Verband and the ZDFP for the past 10 years.  Mr Kust is a successful breeder of 30 years and has ridden in the past at the Oldenburger and Westphalian auctions.

To say Folly was on his best behaviour was an understatement, as nothing fazed this young man.  He waited patiently and quietly in the float for an hour, due to the assessors running late.

With an overall score of 78.5%, he wowed us by placing 4th behind 3 IMPORTED MATURE WARMBLOOD STALLIONS ! from 30 stallions/colts presented Australia wide, including 2 other imported Warmblood stallions.

Like his sire, French Kiss, Folly has 3 sensational paces, and this showed in his scores, which were all marked at 8 or better, with an amazing 9 for Swing and Elasticity

We feel Folly has a lot to offer the performance horse/pony breeder, he is the total package, not only is he a pretty boy, but his movement is world class and his temperament could not be faulted.

Toozie was also awarded Reserve Champion Arabian Warmblood Exhibit behind the Champion Meridian Poseidon who is by Poetry in Motion out of the Duvall daughter, Deveron Annakova (full sister to Di Maggio)

"Felix", as he is affectionately known to his owners, Melissa and Paul Robertson-Dixon, showed great maturity for his years, when he competed in the 5yo Young Dressage Horse Competition at Dressage With The Stars 2009 earlier this year.
From only 3 ever outings Felix qualified to compete at DWTS
His temperament and trainability showed thru on the day and his manners and training were a credit to his devoted owner and rider Melissa Robertson-Dixon, with the wonderful support of husband,  Paul.

Q'LD FESTIVAL OF DRESSAGE
On the 18th July Q'ld Festival of Dressage conducted what could only be described as their most successful event held so far and it was a resounding success. With phenomenal crowds attending and the main stands overflowing, dressage enthusiasts were treated to a day and night of what dressage is all about.  Included in the Festival was an exhibition of Quadrille to Music ridden by 4 riders and their horses.

The Quadrille to Music was enjoyed by everyone and upon conclusion of the presentation by riders, Danielle Dowsett, Chelsea Wood, Karen Spencer and Tammy Stephens there was a loud roar of clapping in the the arena and a standing ovation.
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO KAREN SPENCER AND HER VERY SPECIAL MARE, THE ARABIAN WARMBLOOD, BELCATA DANITA, WHO TOOK PART IN THE QUADRILLE.
Belcata Danita is shown bottom right and at right on the photo at right.

Danita possesses the most amazing temperament and it is a credit to her owner to bring this impressive 17hh mare to the level of training required to  participate in such precision riding.

Tragically, Folly was taken from us on the 2nd Sept 09, in what could only be described as a loss that should not have happened.

After a search of some 10 years and 3yrs of growing him on, he was only a week away from starting his stud career.

He is survived by his only daughter, Lailarni La De Da, born 27th Dec 09.

RIP Folly, you were so special in every way, words are not enough to say how much we miss you.
CONGRATULATIONS ALSO TO SASCHA AND LA BAMBA IN GAINING SPONSORSHIP FROM WELL KNOWN HORSEWOMAN AND HORSE HERBALIST, VICTORIA FERGUSON AND HERBAL HORSE.

Footnote:  Victoria over the years has helped myself and my horses in relation to numerous health problems, even to the point of saving the lives of a number of them.
Victoria is a wealth of knowledge and I have recommended many friends and clients to her when they have been in need of help with their horses.

What Tracey (and Gav) have to say about Maggistrate .............................

What a boy!!
Deveron Maggistrate (aka Junior) has met all my expectations - tall, dark and handsome with a real show presence, he continues to impress with his trainability, temperament and magnificent movement.  Junior really is the complete package!

Many thanks to Paula & Niels Hoffmann-Madsen of Deveron Stud for producing such a wonderful foal.  They don't dilute their breeding lines and it shows.  Junior is born to show - Mr Casual when prepping and waiting to go on - then comes alive when it's his time to shine - the ultimate professional.

Before purchasing from Paula and Niels, I researched studs across Australia and my due diligence brought me to Deveron Stud.  The trip was worth it.  With more than 30 years experience and an emphasis on quality over quantity they offered exactly what I was looking for.  Their professional, yet friendly, relaxed and always helpful manner is reflected in the stock they produce.  Temperament is not overlooked when considering breeding lines which I think gives then an edge over some competitors as their foals have strengths in all areas and Junior is no exception.

I will be back to Deveron Stud to buy more !
