Wilga Park Tamarack - Bay Gelding - Sold

(RanchBoss Cortez X Mt Tawonga Marrella)

DOB 24 Dec 11.

Tamarack is one of those 'Look at Me!' babies. He has such a presence, and is so inquisitive, but with a nice mix of tentativeness, so that he is not too 'in your face', he is one that you just can't draw your eyes away from.

Tamarack will be a minimum of 15'1hh at maturity, we believe. He has a lovely swing in his stride and will suit almost any discipline.

Tamarack was not due to be born until 01 January, but he arrived on Christmas Eve. Greg found the perfect name for him when he began to search for Christmas names.

Description of the Tamarack Tree ...

Though the Tamarack Tree resembles other evergreens, it is quite unique, as it is a deciduous conifer. It has a dark reddish-brown bark and very often you will see the Tamarack tree growing in pure stands. Just before the needles drop in Autumn, they turn a beautiful golden colour, affording the stands of Tamarack a striking contrast to the Autumn foliage.

The inner bark of the Tamarack is used for many medicinal purposes.

The Tamarack tree is the perfectly shaped Australian Christmas tree.

Price - $6,000 + GST - SOLD

Wilga Park Cabernet - Black filly

(RanchBoss Cortez X Mt Tawonga Natasha)

DOB 25 Dec 11.

Cabernet, born on Christmas day, is the most exquisite filly - in nature as well as looks. She is sweet, with a personality that is so trusting of humans and so giving in her responses that we just want to cuddle her ... and she has no objection to that, at all! :)

Cabernet's breeding is one that we really love. RanchBoss Cortez and our wonderful performance mare, Mt Tawonga Natasha, produce stunning babies, with talent.

Cabernet is so like her older sibling Wilga Park Chambourcin.

Description of Cabernet Sauvignon grape ...

Cabernet Sauvignon, often referred to as the 'King of Red Wine Grapes', has the privilege of being the world's most sought after red wine. Cabernet Sauvignon is often an ideal wine for aging. Cabs take a bit longer to reach maturation, allowing their flavours to mellow, and have an innate character.

Cabs range from medium-bodied to full-bodied and are characterized by their ability to provide structure and intrigue.

This description suits this little girl so well.

Wilga Park Kachina - Bay filly

(RanchBoss Cortez X Mt Tawonga Tabitha)

DOB 01 January 2012.

Kachina, born on New Year's day, is so much more than we could have wished for. Tabitha, her dam, was leased to us when Chris Maroni was moving from WA to Qld. We loved Tabitha's bloodlines, but had no idea what to expect in this foal.

Kachina is a superb filly. She is bay with no white whatsoever, but is as striking as the perfect show pony with a star and 4 white socks. It is so hard to know just what it is about this little girl, but she captivates us.

Kachina is dainty, pretty, alert, cheeky, sweet, gentle, brave, respectful, playful, generous of heart and just simply gorgeous!

We are so grateful for the generosity of Chris Maroni in leasing Kachina's beautiful dam, Tabitha, to us, for this lovely filly.

Description of Kachina ...

Flowers are borne in showy trusses from mid to late spring. The Kachina is low maintenance, long lasting and showy. This azalea is usually trouble free if planted in the correct conditions.

Price - $12,000 + GST

Wilga Park Gidgee Wood - Bay filly

(RanchBoss Cortez X Red Bluff Paprika) Miss Confidence! DOB 03 Nov 11.

Gidgee has been here before. She is so confident and wants to be included in everything that goes on.

Gidgee is going to be a tall girl and is a very neat package.

She follows in the footsteps of all her siblings before her and is a delight to handle. Gidgee will mature a minimum of 15hh.

The description of the timber Gidgee wood is a subtle reference to this young girl's character.

The sapwood is a rich deep yellow and makes an interesting contrast to the dark chocolate brown outer.

The timber is much sought after for turnery. Texture is very fine.

A very high density timber - high strength and crush resistance and finishes to a very high polish.

Price - $12,000 + GST

Wilga Park Liana - Bay filly

(RanchBoss Cortez X Haymeron Park Ruby Jane) Miss Congeniality!!

DOB 05 Nov 11.

Liana is so friendly and amenable. She has wanted to be with people from the moment she was born. Even before her Mum gave her permission she was trying to get to know humans.

Liana is going to be a lovely size, around 15hh we think, and is pretty on the inside as well as being so beautiful on the outside.

Liana is another Foundation Morgan with her Lippitt dam and western working sire both being classified as Foundation Morgans. She has excellent bloodlines as a potential breeding mare, but also has that sensible attitude that will make her a wonderful riding companion.

Description of the Liana Vines ...

They begin life on the forest floor but depend on trees for support as they climb upwards towards the sunlight they need for survival. However, they take nothing from the tree, but support. When they reach the top of the canopy they often spread to other trees or wrap themselves around other lianas. This network of vines gives support against strong winds to the shallow-rooted, top-heavy trees - so in effect those trees become dependent on the Liana.

Price - $12,000 + GST

Wilga Park Bullrush - Buckskin Gelding SOLD

(RanchBoss Cortez X Wilga Park Malaynee) Mr Personality, DOB 23 Oct 11.

Bullrush is so stylish with such a beautiful Morgan look, he deserves to carry the name of one of the founding stallions of our breed; the son of Figure, the stallion from which our breed stems.

Bullrush is confident but innocent, almost 'cheeky' in his enthusiasm for life, afraid of nothing - not even the cranky pregnant mare, who is about to foal in the adjoining yard, who continues to tell him to 'get lost'. He simply looks at her with bright, inquisitive eyes and can't believe she could be talking to him.

This stunningly attractive boy will be his owner's very best friend, always ready to be involved in a partnership that is 50-50, and will give everything his best shot.

Gelding Price - $6,000 + GST SOLD at one month old.

Indigo Roc The Boat - Pure Gelding

Karenza Apollo X Mt Tawonga Ellie

DOB 02 September 2004

See updated U-tube video of Rocky - click here to view video

See Rocky's Prelim test in September - he placed 3rd against the big horses in this test -click here to view video

This six year old is a very forward boy who loves variety. He thinks he is a much bigger horse than he actually is, and moves like one. His love is to go out on the trail. He is the most enjoyable ride on the trail as he is unflappable and confident and he is always looking to see what is around the next corner, ears pricked with interest.

Rocky is perfectly suited to a young confident rider who would like to enjoy Pony Club activities or a serious Endurance competitor. His walk leaves the big horses for dead.

Rocky is 14'2hh ( a little under 148cm unshod) so is actually suitable for Pony Dressage

He has competed and scored well against the bigger horses. Rocky has done a little jumping as well, and enjoys it tremendously.

Rocky was purchased as a three year old because of his smaller size and his laid back attitude. We were looking for a small horse as a beginner pony, but it had to be a Pure Morgan.

He has had lots of arena work and some trail riding, with a little jumping thrown in for interest. However Rocky is not the horse for a raw beginner, simply as he is too forward for that role. He will be wasted in our paddock unless we can find an enthusiastic owner for him to enjoy his life with. I don't have the time to ride more than one horse. Rocky has too much to offer to not be owned by someone who will enjoy his company doing interesting, fun things.

Rocky has been loaned to a good friend who needs a horse that she can go catch at any old time and have a lovely ride. Megan has taken Rocky out to a Dressage competition recently and was very, very proud of his achievements.

Wilga Park Tillandsia - Bay Filly

(RanchBoss Cortez X Mt Tawonga Marrella) - Exquisitely Stylish, Bay Filly, DOB 17 Nov 10.

Tillandsia will be a big but elegant mare with heaps of style. As she gets older, Tillandsia is proving to be a very sweet and 'giving' filly. She moves quietly amongst the herd and gives the impression she would be a loyal and constant friend.

She will hang back as the others leave the yard in the hope that she will get a rub as you go by. Tillandsia invites a cuddle and at times is the one to initiate the fun. She is quietly confident and has just the right mix of sensitivity and sense.

This beautiful filly will make an excellent lifetime partner for someone wanting a thinking, independent, willing companion, who likes to have fun, and, of course, has the most tremendous bloodlines to bring to any breeding program.

Price - $12,000 + GST

Wilga Park Conquistador - Buckskin Colt

(RanchBoss Cortez X Mt Tawonga Natasha) - An extremely uphill, athletic young colt - we can see him as a performance horse or simply being the perfect partner on any trail - DOB 04 Dec 2010

The description of the Conquistador grape suits this lovely boy.

The Conquistador grape is a multi purpose, disease resistant grape that makes a beautiful, red wine that is quite unique. The grape has quite a 'foxy' flavour.

We feel this buckskin boy is going to unfold into a magnificent horse and his name 'Conquistador', also being spanish for Conqueror, certainly suits him. His gentle spirit will conquer many hearts over time.

He is a tall lad, has a super gentle nature, and is curious and trusting. He is also completely confident.

We want to give this fellow a little more time before deciding to geld.

Training Conquistador at 11 months of age has been pure joy. This young man is just like his sire, Cortez, and does everything in his power to please you. He is so very, very quick to learn.
