WEST COAST RIVKAH

(WC Acharon x Statuesque)

DOB 12/9/06

WEST COAST MEMOREE

(WC Acharon x Yarraview Amber dec)

DOB 23/02/04

Memoree has been with Paula Wilbraham and Trish McArthur for over 6 years (since he was a weanling colt). Together, Paula and Memoree have had a taste of everything – dressage, show horse and endurance. We hope to see him again once Paula’s baby commitments allow her the time! He is

WEST COAST MITZVAH

(WC Acharon x Statuesque)

DOB 19/9/07

Endurance rider, Sarah Burke has owned Mitzy since she was a youngster, some 3 years ago. Sarah wasted no time in easily and successfully breaking her in by herself and starting her up on slow work. They have also made their show ring debut.

WEST COAST ANNAVERSAREE

(WC Acharon x Carmen Kadova)

Anna is continuing her successful Endurance career in Malaysia. She is a sought after competition horse in the Royal Terengganu Endurance Stables and we are looking forward to seeing her again very soon.

WEST COAST TORAH

(Tora Windigo dec x WC Natanya)

DOB 7/9/07

Was purchased as a weanling colt by our good friend, Christine Maroni who decided to abandon her WA mates and move to Qld! Unfortunately her horses couldn’t travel with her. Torah has now found a new home with Desiree and we look forward to hearing how they are getting along together.

WEST COAST ASHER

(WC Acharon x Statuesque)

DOB 30/9/08

Asher was purchased by Jodie Luck of Almazaan Stud in South Australia as a future sire for her stud. Asher has been broken in and is enjoying having a job to do – apart from his other job ! Asher is the only purebred colt by Acharon.

WEST COAST HAIFA

(Dashanda Dhabi x Noran Parmelia)
DOB. 7/10/2000

Proudly owned by Mike Gill. Mike has campaigned Haifa successfully in Endurance both in WA and the Eastern States. They have now started camp drafting together! Mike is thrilled with how Haifa has tackled this new challenge. She has great cow sense and has received many compliments from experienced camp drafters, who are amazed that she is an Arabian! Haifa and Mike have a very special bond and she is his 'number 1 lady'.

WEST COAST SOFI

W.C. Acharon x Maralinga Imagine That (Exp Malaysia)
DOB 30/11/2005

Sofi was exported to Malaysia midway through 2009. She was purchased by the owner of her dam (Maralinga Imagine That) because they loved this mare so much they wanted another one like her! Imagine That now resides on a breeding farm owned by the Royal Stables in South Africa.

At the end of 2009, we had the great opportunity to visit Sofi in her new environment. She is treated like a Royal Princess. She has been broken in which she took completely in her stride and is being legged up slowly. Sofi will start competing in training rides this year.

WEST COAST MEHIRA

Nenuphar Nazarene (dec) x West Coast Princess Jasmine (Exp Malaysia)
DOB 1.9.02

West Coast Mehira had a epic adventure in 2009. His owners, Joanna Mc Cord and Christopher Haddon took Mehira across the Nullarbor to the 2009 NSW Tom Quilty as company for their top class endurance mare, West Coast Dayan. Mehira travelled like a dream and ate his way across the Nullarbor. He was a great travelling companion for Dayan and received many complements from the Eastern States. We look forward to seeing Mehira make his endurance debut in 2010.

WEST COAST ALIYAH

Karumba Viceroy x Ricval Kishara
DOB 19/1/01

Whilst at the Royal Stables of Kelantan in Malaysia we visited West Coast Aliyah who we hadn't seen for 7 years. In that time she has had two foals and has competed in endurance.

We were so impressed with the condition of our home bred horses. They are very well cared for and have an individual stable at night time and during periods of heavy rain. They have an individual training and feeding regime which is listed on a white board on the front of their stable. During the day, they have their own large green, well fenced paddock.

WEST COAST SABRA

West Coast Acharon x Carmen Kadova
DOB 1/9/03

Sabra's owner, Bruce, contacted us in 2009 and mentioned he was taking Sabra to the Gin Gin social ride. We were so excited to hear from Bruce as we hadn't heard anything about Sabra since Bruce brought him about 5 years ago. Bruce mentioned also that he wouldn't part with Sabra for any money because he is such a brilliant horse.

Hopefully we will see them again at a future endurance ride.

WEST HOPE PARK KASIB

West Hope Park Kasib was campaigned by us in endurance until he was 15 years old. During that time he became a crowd favourite. He practically had his own fan club. He travelled with us to South Australia in 2004 and gained a Quilty Buckle. He was a favourite mount for many different riders. The decision to sell Gruffy was extremely difficult but we are thrilled that he has found such a fantastic home.

WEST COAST PRINCESS JASMINE

Nenuphar Nazarene (dec) x Noran Parmelia
DOB 310/97

Jasmine was purchased by the King of Malaysia in 2004. She has proven to be an extremely capable endurance horse and has completed many FEI rides in Malaysia before becoming an important part of their breeding program. We had the good fortune to compete alongside her in the Sultan's Cup in 2007 where she successfully completed the 120km ** ride.

WEST COAST DAYAN

Silmaril Chand x Yarraview Amber

DOB 27/11/99

Dayan has been successfully campaigned by Christopher Haddon for the past 8 seasons. Together they have achieved an enviable endurance career. Some of their highlights include a Tom Quilty buckle in New South Wales in 2010, as well as winning several Western Australian 160km State Championship titles. Dayan is heading to South Australia in 2011 for another Tom Quilty buckle.
