IMOAN ISHMAEL
Successfully completed his first introductory ride at Yarra Ranges in March 2003. The aim was to familiarise him with the environment and so we rode him together with his dad , our Stallion "Shou-Lin" who has a very calming affect on the young horses.
Successfully completed his first 40Klm Training Ride at Toongabbie July 2003 also ridden with "Shou-Lin".
Successfully completed his second 40Klm Training Ride at Wonthaggi in May 2004 also ridden with "Shou-Lin" in a time of 3 Hours 3 Minutes. Heart rate pre-ride of 42 & post ride of 48 bpm . No strapping in very windy and cold weather.

IMOAN SADAQ
E-Mail News provided by Karinn Liedler (now Karinn Panuccio)
Sadaq has been trained to saddle and as of the 27th March 2006 he has competed in his first "A" class show in Queensland and under saddle. That day he received one 1st , 2x 2nds , 3rd and a 4th as well as 2 Reserve Champion sashes under saddle. Not bad for our first Major Comp. This has now qualified him for the Aussie Champs in Sydney next year. His next major competition is the Arabian Gala Event on the Gold Coast and the Pan Pacific (as a newcomer).
24th August 2006
Thought that I would update you on Sadaq's performances at the recent Brisbane Royal where he was Third in his Led Class and Reserve Champion in his Saddle Class. In the Gala event , he won every class he entered. Sadaq will be going to Sydney for the ArabianSaddle Horse Championships and then the National Stud Book show in November.
