Comma carries some of the Halls best HSH breeding that we think will be a great cross with Serenity's modern QH bloodlines. She was an extremley competitive mare with numerous placings in Maiden, Novice & Opens, running several 90's & 91's, proving her ability before being retired to stud. Terry Hall described her as a very natural and talented mare. She is a great type of mare and we look forward to our first foal from her to Serenity in 2014.

ASH: 123606 DOB: 19/01/1994

We have recently bought Quest as we have been wanting to find the right Adios Reflect mare to join to Serenity. What we love about this mare is that her dam side is so strong, its not often that you see Reality and Bobbie Bruce so close these days, bringing some of that great old fashioned breeding to our stud. She is a novice drafter backing her great breeding with performance. She is due to foal to Kinchela Romeos Repeat (winner of Warwick Stallion draft) in 2014 and then we will join her to Serenity.

ASH C2-192610 Q-64748 DOB 12/9/07 Bay Mare

By Acres Destiny and out of Peterbar Oak Once Moore who was by Doc Freckles Oak and out of Roc Once Moore who is a full sister to One Moore Spins mother.

We purchased her from Richard Bull as a 2yr old and took an embryo out of her by Conman. We had a very smart little colt born as a result of this who was purchased by Terry Snow. She was shown as a 3yr old where she won many Champion ASH Led, Hack and Working Classes and competed at Sydney Royal and the ASH National Futurity in 2011. Several of her full siblings are draft winners, Terry and Chrissy Hall own Acres Once Moore who has won many drafts and Tony Hick owns 2 sisters both who are drafts winners and a brother he has just started.

She is a great type, winning many Champion Led ASH classes showing that she looks more like a stock horse than quarter horse. She has that nice front end that Acres seems to give his progeny. I remember asking Terry Hall once about the whole ASH verses Quarter horse thing and he said that he just looks for a horse that has the right conformation, ability and attitude to do what he is after and if they have all that then he doesn't care what bred it is. This mare is a prime example of what we like and although being full Quarter horse she has beaten many stock horses in the show ring. We are taking her lightly as we believe if we are patient with her we will have a very handy mare in the long run. She has a lot of natural cow sense and ability as would be expected with her breeding.

Q-51648 DOB 27/10/02 Black Mare

By Acres Destiny and out of Freckles Oak Girl who was by Doc Freckles Oak and out of a Mr Freckles Boy Mare. Gem is a product of that magic cross of Acres and DFO. She has won several drafts with many placings and was a very talented mare who had a V8 engine. She was a very powerful mare who was extremely explosive and quick to her cow.

It was a hard decision to take her out of our competition string and breed with her but we wanted a couple of first class mares to start our breeding program and we are very excited to see what she will produce for us.

 ASH 168469 DOB 16/10/2003 Chestnut Mare

By Double Doc and out Manoeuvre who is a draft winning Romeo mare. We purchased Sadie from Jackie Knudsen. She had been started by Jackie with numerous placings in both maiden and novice drafts. Since we have owned her she has run a 90 and just missed out on a place in the Open draft at Orange and made the maiden and novice finals in the same weekend at Cumnock. She has a lot of natural cow sense and is a really soft mare. She is a great type.We are very excited to see what this mare will do in the future and believe she is a great asset to our stud.

We have decided to give her a break from drafting and take the opportunity to get a couple of foals out of her before we bring her back into work.
