By this time the Penalurick family
had become very interested in these beautiful ponies and
over the next few years imported the yearling, Colbeach
Solitaire, Talacharne Wedding Chorus, who had a very successful
show career in the UK, winning at the Royal International and
many other major shows and Necta Night Surprise, who had also
been shown by the well known Thomas show team in Wales.
Karine then went to
the UK to ride for a season on her own 14.2h mare, Syon Sheer
Delight, who was also imported and shown here, winning Horse Of
the Year and Royal Show Championships. The young mare, Broetifi
Hot Gossip was also brought to Australia to compliment the already
outstanding group of imported mares at Kolbeach.
At stud in the UK is
the well known daughter of Holly Of Spring, Holly's Gem, who has
two daughters at stud here at Kolbeach, Gemstone (imp) and Holly
of Springtime (imp). Holly's Gem is continuing her breeding regime
for Kolbeach.
The stud has also purchased successful saddle mares to make up a
very well performed base of breeding stock, the oldest progeny now
being two years old. In 1999 the stallion Camargue Tribute (imp)
was leased from Mrs. Jennifer Williams of the famous Pendley Stud
in the UK.

Initially Tribune was leased for the season, but has since been
purchased to be a resident sire along with Syon
Splendor (imp) and Fernleigh Fine Print, who was Champion Young
Stock at the 1998 Melbourne Summer Royal.
This
season we are showing Ainthorpe Grace Darling (imp) who has been doing
really well, and in England we will be campaigning a 13.2hh mare
from our own Holly's Gem who will be shown from Ron Thomas' stables.
Our
latest arrival, Oldcourt Balalaika will possibly appear at Canberra as
her first Australian coat is well and truly on the way.
Kolbeach
has a very good band of mares including Dresden Park Rene, Covers,
Waverley Festivity, Country Classic, Quamby Park
Chiquito, Fayremoon Picture, Tallyrand Showplace and Radnore Memories.
We
were also delighted to buy from the LJS Dispersal sale the beautiful
mares, Rotherwood Matinee, Sufton Wild Rose, Weston Antionio, Fleetwood
Royal Whisper, Adenhall Royal Secret, Ainthorpe Grace Darling,
Highmead Fancy Free, Fenwick Carmen and the great stallion, Fairley
Tempest.
We
also bought LJS Rosemount, the full brother, now
gelded, to Blaircourt Crystal Rose.
We
hope to breed successful saddle ponies based on mares with performance
