Cortez at the Reining Trainer & new For Sale page!
Our lives have turned upside down since 25 August and the Equine Influenza Standstill was announced. The weekend before the Standstill was announced, Cortez was delivered to the Training Stables of Warren Cox, down near Rosewood, Qld.
Cortez was to stay at Warren's for a few months, with breaks in between to come home for breeding duties. We have our fingers crossed that by December (if not before, with a special permit), Cortez will be home with us to produce a couple of foals for next year.
Warren is extremely pleased with the way Cortez is progressing and holds high hopes that he will do very well at competitions in 2008.

New Page to our Web Site: Other Morgans for Sale
We invite you to go to the link on the home page to find out about other started Morgans for Sale.
We have felt for quite a while that it is necessary to have a central point for interested people to go to when they decide they may like to purchase one of these wonderful Morgans. As there are so few started Morgans, we are happy to advertise those for sale for individuals who do not own a Stud and so do not have a web site.

Mt Tawonga Dusky - SOLD
Dusky has been sold to a lovely lady by the name of Jill, who lives near the Blue Mountains in New South Wales. Dusky will travel to her new home as soon as the Standstill is lifted. We will miss this lovely mare, but she will be very happy in her new role.
Some fun foal photos taken this month:
Our two remaining foals, Wilga Park Madagascar and Wilga Park Summer Beauty are growing quickly now. They are approximately 10 months old in these photos. Check out our For Sale page for more details on these exceptional Morgans.
Enquiries on our foals are most welcome.
