Moondarra Merlin is 15.2hh. Merlin was sold to Faris Endurance to campaigned as an endurance horse along with his full sister (and yellow logbook mare ) Moondarra Matia.
Before Merlin was sold, he was Reserve Champion Purebred Senior Halter Gelding at the prestigious Qld Challenge Show in May, 2005 as well as Top Ten at the Australian Championships 2005 again. Delete reference to 2004 show results for Merlin.
We have attended four shows this 2004 season with Merlin and his accomplishments are:
February- 1st and Champion Senior Purebred Halter Gelding - Summer Show March- Top Ten and 3rd on the cards, Senior Purebred Gelding - Australian Championships. April - 1st and Champion Senior Purebred Halter Gelding - Pan Pacific Showcase May - Top Five Senior Purebred Halter Gelding - AHAQ Challenge Show State Titles
Moondarra Merlin competed at the Fantasia show 2005 for a win in his class and Reserve Champion Purebred Halter Senior Gelding
Moondarra El Khobar- Cobber as he is affectionately known was bred by us
and is 24 years young. As seen in the photo he was Reserve Australian Champion Bridle Path Hack Youth horse in 1998 with Kellie riding. Cobber is by Istana Khamaji (Talquah Jai) and from Oxford Stardust (Count Manilla x Electric Ray) who was our foundation purebred mare. Cobber is worth his
weight in gold as he has taught many a youth a thing or two.
Moondarra Silk 'N Lace is a 17 year old mare by Mephisto (The General Imp/Exp x Scimitar Mantilla) from Moondarra Lace (photo on mare page). Silk has produced two foals a gelding and a filly. The filly is Moondarra Aurel (photo on mare page). Silk exceled in the performance field as Kellie's youth horse. She was pulled from the paddock as a 9 year old and in 6 weeks took out Debut, Maiden and a bag of under saddle awards at an A class show. Silk was a costume horse expert and was rarely beaten, winning H.O.T.Y. youth costume and Reserve H.O.T.Y. adult costume with a rider who had not ridden her til 10 minutes before the class.
Moondarra the Gambler (decd) was a 16.1 hh grey purebred gelding by Cherokee Casino Royal x Chookalum. From the moment he was born he was destined to be a great show horse. Rarely beaten in the halter ring he was awarded the first Australian Champion Junior Purebred Gelding Halter. Three years later he entered 11 events, placing in all with a Top Ten in Halter, Champion Youth Western, Reserve Costume and Side Saddle and the rest were Top Fives. A mammoth feat over a two day weekend. He went on to do dressage and after couple of years was then ridden by Kellie. They had a very successful first year together winning bags full of awards culminating in Reserve Champion under Saddle at the Top of the Range A class. Gambler unfortunately passed on before the next show season.
Moondarra Maverick is a 15.1hh bay gelding who has competed successfully in endurance in Australia for the last couple of years and has now been sold overseas.
