| Allen Park Studs Herd - 26th August 2008 - The Geldings (& one mare)! Above you can see the little herd that is out on one of the Wudinna East properties - it is around 2200 acres - just one big paddock! The only mare in this herd you can see at far left - the pinto pony mare. She is in foal to the QH stallion, The Power To Rule, but isnt due for some time yet. The rest of them are Thoroughbreds with the exception of the |
| pinto gelding who is a 2 yr old 3/4 Quarter Horse who has Allen Park Bald Eagle as a grandsire. His dam is Allen Park Pocahontas who unfortunately passed away early 2008. At left is a 2003 born gelding by Made Of Gold out of Go Dancer Go. Below is Best Gambler. |
| Below are the horses paddock mates - quite a large herd of cattle. The horses are checked on regularly as are the cattle. Due to the size of the properties it is necessary to go for quite a drive around the paddocks and just check that everyones legs are pointing in the right direction, and that no one has injured themselves on anything. The rate of injuries is much less in the larger paddocks than in yarded horses. |
| The pinto mare at left is in foal to Spurvolt Tu Chicahn - it will be her first foal. The uniquely marked Appaloosa mare is running with Allen Park Cherokee at the moment. This could be an interesting foal from her! |
| Above is Allen Park Serrana who is in foal to AP Cherokee, as are the rest of the TB mares you can see in this shot. Right is AP Dakota, who is by AP Bald Eagle out of a Clydesdale mare. She slipped her foal by Billara Beersheba (3/4 Cleveland Bay stallion), and has been served by AP Cherokee for a 2009 foal. It was a shame that she slipped her foal. |
| In the background of this shot you can see the cropped paddocks which are part of what this herd is usually running on. We hope you have enjoyed the images on these pages! Allen Park Herd - 26th August 2008 - Page 1 Allen Park Home Page Allen Park For Sale Page |
| Allen Park Studs Herd - 26th August 2008 - The Girls & Cherokee! The photographs below are at one of the Wudinna East properties. Normally the horses run with the cattle on about 2500 acres, however because a good portion of this is locked up with the crop growing on it, they are on around 400 acres right now. You can see Mt Wudinna in the background - it makes a lovely scene! |
| Being out in the huge paddocks is fantastic for low worm burdens too - as the grazing is not concentrated and they are not eating around their own manure as is the case with horses in smaller paddocks and yards. As mentioned on the page with the colts, the large space is fantastic for their growing bones and muscles as they are not restricted in any way. |
| Above is AP Babe who is heavily in foal to AP Cherokee. It would be lovely to get a Pintaloosa from her! Fingers crossed! Left, Cherokee is having a lovely grooming session with a very hairy TB mare. The amount of hair on the ground beneath them was amazing! |
