The finale

On the 18th of December the very last foal by Quassa arrived. A FILLY our beloved Zhola has produced a precious filly for us.We have yet to find a name befitting such a special girl. She is just beautiful and will stay bay.

Zibaq Khan has another filly

Congratulations to Tina and family on a fabulous filly by Zibaq Khan. Blondini has produced a filly the very same colour as herself and that filly already has a devoted human attendant.

The last part-bred foal by Quassa

Sunset Rosina of Shannon with her Quassa colt

We had the delight of viewing the very last part-bred foal to be sired by Quassa. This foal is a stunning colt and was bred by Tania Deans of Hakataramea.
Tania and her family are really enjoying having this fellow, tentatively named Max.
Max's mother is doing a wonderful job of looking after him. Buffy is a firs time mother at 20 years of age! She is a quality mare by Dellmount Narduke and I think she has nicked very well with Quassa.

Watch this space, if fate is kind, you will hear some more about this fellow.

Dellmount Salila's foal.

The grand old matriarch Dellmount Salila (Ralvon Luke imp AU x Silver Moonbeam imp AU) delivered a lovely colt foal by Zibaq Khan.
Sadly, Salila died shortly after and the foal is now being reared by a foster mare.
We wish Lisa Simpson all the best with her colt, yet to be named.

The foals start arriving.

Twilight and her dam Blaze

The foals from outside mares are starting to arrive. We congratulate Tracey Voyce of North Otago on the arrival of Twilight, a part-bred filly by Quassa out of Blaze.

Also our friends Kylie and Rob Pape of Waikouaiti have been gifted with a purebred filly foal by Quassa and out of Dahmar Xavier. This filly is the second last Purebred foal by our dearly departed Quassa.

Jasmine foals a colt

Sunny Brae Jasmine has foaled a striking chestnut colt under a full moon on the 12th of October.Sired by our own Zibaq Khan.

We have decided to call this colt Quasim, pronounced qazeem and is Arabic for distinguished individual.

Quasim has a lovely kind nature and we are really enjoying having this fellow in our lives.

We have been blessed

it is with a sense of privilege that we announce that Sunny Brae Jasmine has been gifted to us. Although Jasmine was on lease and we were thrilled to have her with us, we are over whelmed by the generosity of her breeder Mary Brosnahan of Sunny Brae Stud, for choosing Lawrence Arabians as permanent custodians.
Sunny Brae Stud have been breeding quality horses for decades. Purebred Arabians and partbred Arabians, Thoroughbreds, and Welsh Cobs and Welsh derivatives. Anyone looking to purchase a performance horse or pony would be advised to check out Sunny Brae Stud. Contact me for information.

Vale QUASSA
30.12.91 - 9.2.11

It was with breaking hearts that we laid our wonderful Quassa to rest. He was one of the kindest horses that ever trod this earth.

Quassa and Zhola, friends to the very end.

Zircon leaves for his new home.

A fond farewell.

We have bade a fond farewell to Zircon. He has been purchased by some lovey people from Canterbury and I am confident Zircon will get the opportunities he deserves with his new owner. Happy Trails, Zircon.

A new mare for us

We are very pleased to have leased for a season the lovely purebred mare SUNNY BRAE JASMINE from Mary Brosnahan of Sunny Brae Stud, South Canterbury.

The last breeding mare of the Cairo exp Aust, son Czarak and out of Dellmount Jamil, a daughter of one of my favourite stallions, Touch Of Magic imp.
We already have a Magic daughter, but we do not have the lines to Silver Sparkle imp UK/exp USA, or Nurmana. Jasmine has the look of a Touch Of Magic mare and the fact that she is bay and both her parents were grey, denotes the influence of Risheem, Magic's Irish bred sire, from whence the colour comes.

We have decided to put Jasmine to Zibaq Khan, as we feel this cross will blend the strengths of both individuals.

So everything is crossed for a healthy foal for next year.

A new breeding season begins

The 10/11 breeding season began when a grand old mare returned to us two weeks ago.
Marina was last here in 2001. She was bred to Quassa and later foaled a grey colt . Her owners are so thrilled with their gelding that they have returned Marina to us.

We feel honoured to have Marina back. She was an excellent endurance horse in her day and the blend of Dellmount Sudani , her sire and Quassa has been a wonderful cross. Fingers crossed for another great baby.

The Flying Scotsman

Great news this week from Hastings. Alex Lothian and Zion(Quassa x Zhola) won the Open 90km Endurance ride at the New Zealand Horse Of The Year . This photo was taken by Kerry Marshall of Kampic. Thankyou Kerry for this fabulous pik.
Great stuff Zion and Alex.

A new home for Karen

Durdan Karen

News from Dunedin this week that the beautiful purebred mare, Durdan Karen has been bought by a lovely young woman called Kerrie. Durdan Karen is by Quassa and out of the Crabbet mare Cymbal.

We wish Kerrie many happy hours with Karen and thank Kerrie for sending us the delightful photos. One of which I have uploaded.
Karen was bred by the late Leo Oldham and it is Leo's daughter Kathleen who has bred the chestnut colt below. as Harry Chapin once wrote " All My life's A Circle".

Mae and her Quassa colt

GO JO

Congratulations to Jo Forrester on her latest success on Kadin a partbred gelding sired by Quassa and out of Jo's part Clydie mare Kizzy.

Jo has done a wonderful job of educating Kadin, her very first foal. She and Kadin compete with success in CTR and Showjumping as well as Eventing. They are pictured above competing in Otago when they finished second in their section on their dressage score.

We are very proud of what they have achieved.

The photo was taken by up and coming photographer, Lisa Cross of Dunedin.

The latest addition

Our wondeful producer Zhola presented us with a strapping chestnut/grey colt on the 14th of August. We are thrilled with this chap. Now I have to find a Zee name for him.
