Well what a big two weeks we have had. Firstly the 2010 APSB Vic stud show at bendigo where we took a team of three ponies.

We then headed off to the 2010 Melbourne Royal Summer Horse show with Design and Sculpture.

Our last foal for the season was born at a civilized hour of 9.30am this morning. Arinlea Royal Obsession had tiny and petite bay filly sired by the beautiful Welsh B Stallion Weston Park Mercury. She has been named Cherishwood Royal Marchioness and should mature small pony and will be offered for sale (pictured right just after being born) Sadly as we are downsizing the stud to concentrate on our young family this will be our last foal for a few years.
Team Cherishwood had a fantastic weekend of showing. Dunelm Sculpture headed off to Warrambool Ag with Rachel and was sashed Champion ridden show hunter in the riding pony qualifying ring and Reserve Champion Saddle Galloway in the open ring. Cherishwood Design and myself head the other direction to Sale Ag where Delta won her saddle class in the first open ring again and then sashed Reserve Champion large saddle pony.
