Today Tempi had her second showing outing and did the Hunter pony flat classes at the Wairarapa A&P. Tempi is now hanging out at Hill Top Equestrian with Sarah and Ruby Liardet and Ruby is doing a lovely job of bringing her on for me. Just quietly I think there is a bit of a mutual appreciation society thing going on with Ruby and Tempi and it's lovely to see the two of them together.<br /><br />Just three classes today but a very successful outing with a ribbon in each class, particularly rewarding as there was decent competition and the atmosphere at times was quite intense (ponies galloping and cantering up her bum and into her face) but Tempi handled it all very well.<br /><br />Results:<br /><br />Saddle Hunter over 138cm and not exceeding 148cm. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Novice Pony (0-2 wins) - 2nd place. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9XaN542GqfY/Wb8LJE5G5eI/AAAAAAAA1a4/hf-nczZwLB87bi8o80q0VdmVJC5dTtjlwCLcBGAs/s1600/Ailbhe%2Bbaby.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="641" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9XaN542GqfY/Wb8LJE5G5eI/AAAAAAAA1a4/hf-nczZwLB87bi8o80q0VdmVJC5dTtjlwCLcBGAs/s320/Ailbhe%2Bbaby.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought it was about time to share a big orange bouncy ball highlights 'reel'. Some long-time readers of my blog may remember that I sold Ailbhe as a foal to the far north where he stayed for approximately two weeks before I purchased him back and thus he became my big orange bouncy ball because he bounced right back to me! After that experience, which was pretty full on for a six month old baby, I told him I would never sell him again, at least not unless the very perfect home came along. Fast forward three years and that home appeared thanks to an online chat and a good dose of serendipity. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Juliet drove down from Tauranga to meet me and Ailbhe in February 2016. I had begun the starting process by this time and Ailbhe had been ridden, by me, at walk trot and canter. He was never any trouble at all - I basically got on and went. Within 3 weeks of arriving in his new home, Juliet was riding him and she has been the only person to ride him since early March 2016. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In April 2016 he had his first competition - an in hand outing where he came away with Supreme Champion. Not a bad start! His first ridden competition was an unregistered dressage outing where he came home with 2 x 4th place rosettes. These were training tests. The following month he did his first Level 1 test (again unregistered) at Te Teko and brought home a yellow frilly (3rd). At the Bay of Plenty Area PC Tournament in December 2016, Ailbhe scored a whopping 80% in one test and a more than respectable 74.2% in the other - These were training tests. Another outing, this time to the Wendy Richards Memorial Show and Ailbhe, over 2 days, came home with Champion best average score for a Rotorua member in the unregistered horse section.<br />
<br />

<br />
Overall achievements for last season saw Ailbhe take away the BOP Dunstan Accumulator Champion Unregistered for 2016/17 and he was 3rd in the Rotorua High Points Unregistered 2016/17 season.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ailbhe is now registered with the ESNZ and had his first start in August this year with a 3rd placing in his first ever registered test. Since then he has consistently had marks in the low to mid 60's and has amassed 31 points in four competitions - He has also been talent spotted and won the Prydes Easi Feed 'one to watch' at the Rotorua Spring Spectacular!</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">In all of his many outings since he began his competitive journey, Ailbhe has only twice come home without a prize of some description - Not half bad for an overgrown/giant jumping bred pony with one leg on backwards!</span></div>

Today we took Tempi down to Otawa Equestrian to have a jumping lesson (she has done a tiny bit of jumping already but this was her first focused jumping lesson). A few baby moments but she was super good, especially on a windy day in a brand new place. She even loaded on to a strange float with a strange horse already on board and traveled to the location like a wee star. Proud mummy moment. Laura rode her really well and handled her green moments beautifully but apart from the odd shy at random things around the arena and a super green leap over some fill (oh yeah, there is definitely some scope in there!), she behaved like a pretty experienced pony. Very exciting!</div>

It's time to get serious about preparing Tempi for sale so she has come back into work and gone to Laura at Woodlea Farm for professional schooling and mileage/competition experience. I popped down to see her today as I had booked a dental for her this afternoon and got some photos of Laura's ride. Such a nice pony, someone is going to be very lucky!</div>

So we've gone racing, we've gone eventing and most recently, on Sunday Meg and I ventured out to our first dressage competition in 6 or possibly 7 years. The first time we tried dressage Meg was just a baby horse at her very first competitions and we did the training tests but this time we pushed ourselves all the way up to the giddy heights of Level 1, haha! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meg was, as always, a star! She was SUPER tense and felt like she might explode in the warm up for the first test so we did a LOT of walking. By the time the rider before us was in doing their test, we had managed a couple of reasonable canters and settled down enough so as to feel vaguely under control so into the arena she trotted as I smiled and tried to remember to breathe! Meg tried her wee heart out but was super distracted by the horses and riders in the big arena or perhaps it was all the cross country jumps she could see? I don't know what it was but SOMETHING to the right as we headed up the centre line grabbed and held her attention for 75% of the test but the 25% that I felt like I had her, felt amazing! We still managed to get a pretty great score of 64.62% and points on the championship table, which is hugely promising as I know she has a MUCH better test in her - Makes me excited for the future.<br />
<br />
Second test was a bit of a disaster. It was on grass and I felt her confidence slip along with her feet on the first corner and it was basically downhill from there. I wasn't sure how to ride her and so opted for conservative riding and just trying to get through the test in one piece. She was tense and hollow but she did try and even though it wasn't pretty, we still got both our canter leads, maintained the canters, didn't fall over, didn't leave the arena and get eliminated and did manage to score over 55% so not a complete disaster. I think we were 16th in the class of 23 so we also weren't the worst. I do think we will probably always struggle on grass. She is such a lot of horse to contain in a small space and she really does work better on good footing. Another good reason to get out of the lower grades and in to L2 and above where we are pretty much guaranteed an arena on the available all weather surface.<br />
<br />
I'm just so proud of her! Next competition is in 2 weeks and it is the second day of the dressage series and then, a week later, we have a Hickstead Day (dressage followed by a combined cross country and show jumping course) - Exciting!</div>

I ticked something at the very top of my bucket list off this weekend just been. I took my homebred, self produced full Clydesdale eventing! OK, ok, it was only the 65cm/Intro class but it was a BIG deal for me! I haven't evented in 16 odd years and the last time I was doing it, I was riding a horse who was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more experienced than I and who basically carted me over anything and everything and all I had to do was point and hold on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meg was, in a word, AWESOME! She's a very sensitive girl and found the whole experience insanely intense (she trembled ALL day, the nervous energy she must have expended blows my mind!) and she forgot her manners a few times at the gear checks but she was absolutely phenomenal when it counted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dressage was next to the road with trucks and cars whizzing past and she wasn't overly impressed. I also didn't want to exhaust her working her in to a point where she was too tired to be tense because I was so well aware we still have the SJ and XC to get through so our test was not our best work. She was fairly resistant in parts and it did feel somewhat like riding a turbo charged tractor but she did some really super forward work and tried her very best for me - what more could I ask for? I was floored to later discover she had won the dressage section with our nearest competitor nearly 5% behind us - GO CLOMPETY!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At two minutes past midnight this morning a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck the South Island. It was so severe that we well and truly felt it up here and it spooked all the animals. Sadly it looks as if the shock was too much for my precious Hooty who I found this morning with her daughter River lying beside her. The blessing is that it looks as if there was no struggle and it was quick and, I hope, painless. But oh how I will miss her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hooty came to me from Southland back in 2007. On her way north she stopped in Canterbury and was bred to Coalman's Touch with the result being a little orange colt that I named TF Rory O'Moore. Hooty went on to produce four more foals (Waterford Ciara, Winiata, TF Ailbhe MacBrennan and TF River Song) and was retired in 2014 when she lost what was to be her final foal. Her last live born baby, River, was by her side at her death which gives some comfort although I know that horses feel loss too and River will now be grieving.<br /><br />She was such a grand old mare, so reliable and kind but could still be a bit naughty if the mood took her. I wish she had been sound enough for me to ride as I am sure we could've had some great adventures together. It's truly the end of an era here at Talisman Farm and my best broodmare has gone. It's true that she will live on in her amazing children and I am so glad I have her daughter, River but her passing will leave an enormous hole - I thought her retirement would be much longer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
So, Godspeed Hooty, the best mare ever! Thank you for everything, for your beautiful foals and your beautiful soul and for saving me the pain of choosing your time for you by choosing it for yourself. Run free.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Somewhere...In time's own space,</div>
<div>
There must be some sweet pastured place....</div>
<div>
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow,</div>
<div>
Some paradise where horses go.</div>
<div>
For by the love that guides my pen,</div>
<div>
I know great horses live again.</div>

'Orange!' and his Mum Juliet had another dressage outing over the weekend. This time the rosette was red as they won one of their tests. Another very successful day at the office for them.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At 3.15am on the 22nd of October, Charlie (Volksraad x Casual Lies/Deputy Governor) produced a lovely brown filly by Crossiebeg Brennan. The foaling was easy and uneventful and all post foaling milestones were met by the foal as if she had read all the text books. Unfortunately Charlie retained a portion of placenta so required a few vet visits for flushing and lots of heavy duty antibiotics and oxytocin but she has come through it all well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have named the foal TF L'il Bit Smitten or Lil/Lily. </div>

This means that now all the forecast rain that most of my friends do not want to arrive, will not arrive but I am SO thankful it is here and in place safe and sound. Nick is working on plumbing it in now. The lovely chap who delivered it was very helpful and also turns out he is the President of Equestrian Sport NZ so we were able to chat horses and horse arenas (he was admiring mine) whilst I nervously chewed my nails watching the whole event unfold. Nail chewing was unnecessary however as the whole transaction could not have run more smoothly. Phew!</div>

Just another day at the office for Ailbhe. Safe to say I am pretty happy with the results of my breeding program. This guy may not be perfect (what horse is?) but he's had 1 x in hand competition and 2 x ridden dressage competitions and his rider has come home with ribbons from every single class entered (and lets not forget that Supreme Champ at his first show!) and I think that's a pretty darned good effort for a baby overgrown orange pony with one leg put on backwards! </div>

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">
Today we took Tempi down to Solway to have a look around the grounds and some of the XC fences. She was as green as spring grass (sheep tracks are cavernous pony eating holes that one MUST be VERY wary of and show jumping poles may just leap up and attack so best not to get too close to those either) but there were some very pleasing moments and I am very proud of what a super pony she is and the potential she shows. Clarissa rode her beautifully and even though she was very well behaved, she did make her work pretty hard for these results. Here are some photos.</div>

Consistency was the order of the day for Ailbhe who attended the Rotorua Spring Spectacular Dressage Series in Taupo today. This was HRO's (His Royal Orangeness) very first under saddle competition and he completed 2 tests for 2 scores over 65% and two 4th place rosettes. Safe to say I am super proud of his performance and I think his rider/other mother Juliet is too! Right from the beginning Ailbhe has been a very special horse and whilst life with Ailbhe has not been without its ups and downs, I truly feel like these are well and truly behind us as I watch him go from strength to strength with Juliet. What a ride! </div>

Today we took Tempi down to the Solway showgrounds for her very first ridden outing. She loaded and traveled like a seasoned campaigner again and unloaded at the other end quietly and sensibly. We popped her and her buddy Sox into their yards and proceeded to prepare Sox for riding whilst Tempi soaked it all in. There were plenty of horses in the yards around her and with Sox ready to roll, we took a deep breath and left her. We did however leave Clarissa's groom with her to keep and eye on her. Just as well we did as there was a minor hiccup whilst we were down at the arena with Clarissa riding her own horse. One by one the horses in the yards around Tempi left her until she was literally all on her own and she decided that was just one step too far and jumped clean out of the yards to go in search of friends! Apparently she showed excellent technique! Fortunately she was good to catch and remained IN her yard until we returned with Sox. Phew!<br /><br />Riding went without a hitch and, whilst a little worried about the new surroundings and horses coming and going all around her, she was happy to walk, trot and canter around very sensibly and even popped over a few poles on the ground. I couldn't be happier with this as a first outing, especially when you consider that 22 days ago she hadn't even had someone up on her back!<br /><br />Here are the photos:<br /></div>

Ahhhh, SO excited! This morning I got to go and see Tempi being ridden. She has been away for just over two weeks and Clarissa is doing a really super job and my baby pony is trying really hard :) She even had her very first baby jump while I was there. I really couldn't be happier! THIS is why I do what I do. Somewhere there is a very lucky kid who is going to LOVE this pony. I just wish I was 13 again and she was going to be my pony!<br />
<br />
So of course I took a photos and video and, here they are:<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A week ago today we loaded Tempi on to the trailer and took her to boarding school. She loaded quietly and sensibly and traveled very well and unloaded quietly and sensibly at the other end. I get daily reports from Clarissa at Nikau Downs where Tempi is being started and it sounds like she is progressing well. I also get photos ...</span></div>

Here are some quick pix of a rather furry Tempi (TF Temperance Brennan) taken today. Tempi is off to be started under saddle next week and will be the second of Brennan's foals bred by me to be ridden. Very exciting! She will also be for sale as I cannot keep them all and I would LOVE to see her in a competitive home with a talented rider - I really rate her and am sure that she's destined for stardom in the jumping paddock. Her dam, Rei Huia Bernadette, has just returned to being a riding horse and has been hunting spectacularly this season. I hear that Bernie will be back in the Show Hunter ring this coming season so keep an eye out because, as a young horse in her one season out competing before she was sent to the broodmare paddock, she was showing incredible talent and technique and was virtually unbeaten up to 1.10m.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Tempi is currently approximately 145cm meaning she should measure a pony for, at the very least, her first season or two under saddle and may very well finish a full height pony. If she does keep growing however, she is still going to make some lucky smaller rider, a cracking small hack! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Tempi has a great brain and a sensible attitude with just enough attitude and spunk thrown in to tell me she's going to be a fierce competitive mount. I'm REALLY excited about this one!!</div>

Super excited to post this blog update and announce that we have purchased a new horse for this coming season! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Mischique (or Mag - pronounced Madge) is a seven year old 15.1HH mare by the Aberlou descendant sire 'Sacred Hill Answer Back'. Answer Back was NZ SJ Horse of the Year in 2006 with Claire Wilson and is by the Aberlou son, Backchat. Mag's dam, 'Magic', won the NZ Pony of the Year title in 2004 so we are going to have a crack at breeding us some superstar jumping ponies of the future! Can't wait!!</div>

12 years ago Nick made me a brand which, when I was organised enough, I used on my home-bred babies. Unfortunately a couple of years ago it disappeared. We searched high and low for it but to no avail so I recently arranged for Castech to make me another and, here it is! They have done a great job!</div>

Meet the newest members of the Talisman Farm crew. Dash and Maisie. In the last six months we have lost 2 of our 3 elderly dogs. Jet, my beloved GSD was put to sleep in November last year and Jess, Nick's Border Collie, went earlier this month. Both dogs lived long and full lives but at 13 and 14 years respectively, old age related conditions finally caught up with them so the difficult decision had to be made. Dash and Maisie are pedigree German Shepherds. Dash is short haired and Maisie long-haired. We are super excited about training them in obedience and possibly even agility and they will start at puppy school as soon as they have had all of their vaccinations.</div>
