King William thriving on Double Dan Horsemanship training methods

Our beautiful Irish Sport Horse Stallion "King William" (by "Cruising") is thriving on the training methods learned at the Double Dan horsemanship clinics at Nana Glen and Coffs Harbour.

We are so excited to be at the next clinic held at Woodburn on the 11th to 14th January, 2014

Jack has been starting William with "liberty" and is busting to get together with Dan Steers and work on this part of his training in January.

Our plans for this gorgeous creature are to pursue a dressage career and hope to stand him at stud in the 2014 season!

CWD Kids Equestrian Style Clothing

CWD Kids is a gorgeous American brand of clothing with loads of Equestrian Style clothing...

Of course as our seasons here in Australia are reversed their current catalogue available is for fall, not spring!

CWD Kids does provide international shipping and I'm sure your kids would look fabulous in these clothes next autumn...

Here are some of the pieces that particularly caught my eye...


Horse Double Layer Dress


Dress has two separate layers. Sleeveless top layer, with pleated neckline, features a twirl-friendly skirt. Long-sleeved under layer, has ruffled sleeves and hem. Sparkle footless tights, with an elastic waistband. Riding boots features zip-up side for easy on/off. Dress: Poly/Spandex. Tights: Nylon/Lurex/Spandex. Boots: Faux Leather. Shoe sizes in ascending order: 9-13, 1-5.

This gorgeous little dress would look great in any girls wardrobe, it could be worn without the shirt for a summer look and exchange the tights and boots for strappy shoes!  Come Winter you can just layer it up and you have another seasons wear...
