New homes for two of our pure Crabbet mares

Rose of Aurora on the way to Makahiwi Arabians in the North Island.

A lot has been happening in the past few months!

Two of our favourite pure Crabbet girls are off to new careers ... in March the grey six-year-old Aurora Southern Star (Silver Omen x Silver Crescent) went off to her new home with endurance rider Adena Middleton. She will join Adena's team, which also includes a son of Silver Omen, the striking chestnut Aurora Kool Kat.

And in April, the lovely Rose of Aurora (Silver Omen x Fenwick Regenta) went off to join the growing Pure Crabbet band with Struan Duncan at Makahiwi Arabians in Taumarunui. It was Rose's first time in a double float and she loaded beautifully and travelled like a dream.

We wish Adena and Struan the very best of times with these mares ... we miss them very much but are pleased they have gone to such great homes.
