Springtime Lyric (Kilvington Scoundrel X Springtime Lullaby)is back in work. She is currently with Craig Rawson in Lilydale being prepared for the coming show and dressage seasons. Mark Phillips who rides for Craig will be campaigning her. Mark has had great success in both the pony dressage and show arenas with Mrs Carmen Brown's Spring Valley Vagabond and is really enjoying working with both these talented ponies.

BARASTOC NEWCOMERS
17th February: It was very exciting to have two ponies make it to the finals of the Newcomer Large Pony on the extremely hot Saturday of the Barastoc weekend. Both S. Hot Gossip (owned by Mrs Lyn Ward and ridden by Paula Heffernan) and S. Lyric performed really well in very trying conditions. As the stud averages only one or two foals a year I was very proud to have both of these ponies go through and behave so well. They certainly did the stud proud.
