Templeton Fantasia : Reserve Champion Warmblood at the Adelaide Royal Show.
 We were very pleased with the placing especially considering she is only two years old  &  competed against many maturer horses.

June 2010

Brockhurst Studs filly "Templeton Fantasia" had her fist outing at this years AWHA Gala day.

She took the whole outing in her stride and was crowned Junior Champion Warmblood. We are confident that this is the start of a very successful career. She is truly outstanding.

On a sadder note "Jock's Girl had to be put to sleep this month. Unfortunately she developed a rapidly growing melanoma, that was untreatable. We will miss her greatly, a rare combination of bloodlines, a fantastic producer and a really special old lady. R.I.P Twiggy

  

March 2010

To strengthen our broodmare band we have purchased "Deja Vu". A De Niro x Tb weanling filly. Whilst we weren't looking for a foal, we couldn't go past this lovely individual. She scored highly with ACE in 2010.

Her movement is international & she is truly a modern type. Very tall & elegant.

Thank you to Michelle Hinchcliff & Steve Williams of Camperdown, for selling us the quality filly.
