Kingshill 135 Report post Posted July 29, 2019 Wow - a shame indeed as he had a full book of mares and yes, good on them for acting and informing owners quickly - so new mating decisions can be made. Lets hope he is able to shuttle next year. Pegasus 9 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepers 180 Report post Posted August 2, 2019 Don't bypass Contributer the word over here is good, and we've just flown in a Complacent yearling colt to Aust. his temperament is amazing ,even the transport people have commented on how pleasant he has been to travel,and with no paddock mates. flockofewes2 and Pegasus 9 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nasrullah 166 Report post Posted August 2, 2019 Real shame about Roaring Lion. Heard many mare owners are putting mares on planes to Australia if the mares are dry or if not too close to foaling. Hopefully Cambridge Stud can find a suitable replacement for next year. New Zealand needs fresh new blood! Breeder 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
