Creative Inspiration


comes in many forms, however, for me today, its a cup of tea and the nicest Lammington I have eaten in a long time! Hmmm. Being so inspired after eating that Lammington and drinking what has been the second nicest cup of tea today (naturally Evan's one this morning was the best) I have been sitting at the computer being creative and working on the Massie Lodge website - which I have to say is now nearly complete (I guarantee that it will please the masses, lol).
This week has been pretty hectic (which is not unusual here) with a few comings and goings and a hectic time at Telstra (I promised that I wasnt going to bitch about it, didnt I? Hmmm).

(OMG! Bloody Cindy - aka Lightning Edge has just taken it upon herself to walk along the side verandah and reek chaos to the birds.... not to mention upend the birdseed and spill it all over the verandah ... um, somthing tells me that its time for this horse to go back into work!!! AAArgh, you should see the mess!)

Oh, was I supposed to censor the word "Bloody" for our British readers? lol

Retirees....

This week has also seen a new addition to Gallopers business that I will be looking after. What Iam going to be doing is hopefully finding new owners for "retirees" from the track. We have sold on to a good home our first "retiree" - Ringo (Ring Cycle, pictured above) to a lovely lady in NSW who was looking for a horse to love. Ringo leaves Massie Lodge on Thursday to go to Coonabarrabran. This is not something new for us, but its something that we want to develop and take out to the trainers and owners ... dont ditch your horse once it's finished its racing career.... give me a call!! So, if any of my good readers know of any horses that are just about finished with their career on the racetrack and want them to go to a good home, please get in contact with me (0408 470386). Naturally these horses are not going to attrack alot of money, however, they are going to attract good homes and good owners who will love them and treat them accordingly. What more could you give to your pal that has given you so much fun?

Blotto (aka Telbon Lotto) has gone to a good home this last week down in northern NSW. He will have 1 more prep and then will go to a beautiful home to retire to.

Dracula ...

Will make the move to Queensland and Oakey for the 2006 breeding season. This son of Quest for Fame will make an interesting choice for breeders at $3300. I personally like him... and I like the look of his youngsters - obviously not a favourite anymore at Woodlands, but will certainly open up the market and choices for breeders where sons of Danehill and Redoute's Choice are making up the bulk of the stallion market.

(Oh Evan, ok, can we start a list for 2006..... Euclase, Dracula ... now which mare goes where?) lol

Hahaha
