| CM Sporthorses at the 2011 Royal Melbourne Horse Show On the 20th January, CM Sporthorses & Lyndsworth Lodge took on the Victorians at the RMHS and did VERY well! CM Independant Miss: Reserve Champion CBSH 1st - Best Presented CB or CBSH 1st - Led CBSH Filly or Mare Any Age 4th Led WB Yearling Filly CM Sorta Sassy: 3rd - Best Presented CB or CBSH 4th - Led CBSH Filly or Mare Any Age We would like to thank Kath Hurrell & Nikki Chadburn from Lyndsworth Lodge for all their hard work and effort with CM Independant Miss. You ladies are amazing! We would also like to thank Arlene Sheen for looking after CM Sorta Sassy, and Debbie Fraser-Howe (who owns CM Anna Karenina) for running Sassy out at her very FIRST show! |

| Sadly, on the 6th of March 2011, we lost CM Bedford Forrest to a twisted bowel. He was an amazing horse, with such a fantastic temperament, gorgeous looks and so easy to do anything with. We are thankful that we have three mares of our own who are in foal to him at the moment - Lady Tuthaside, Donna Del Lago and She's Got Ego (Donna and Ego are on lease to us). We are hoping that they deliver big strong healthy foals to follow in his footsteps. |
| CM Oberon Toblerone is finally under saddle!!! Yes, ok, so it has only taken us three years to get around to finishing off breaking him in... Oh well, we cant rush these things! lol... In true CB & Tobi style, he came in after a couple of years break and had a lunge session, and the next night was backed for the first time. Breaking in a 13 yr old stallion - THIS stallion in particular - has not been that difficult! He takes everything in his stride and just cruises along with whatever is asked of him! |

| On the 20th of March 2011, Morphett Vale Riding Club Breed & Encourage show was held. CM Independant Miss (right) was there, along with CM Desert Dreams (left). Indy took out Supreme WB and Supreme CB, and was 4th in line for Supreme of the day. Dreamy received a first, a second and a Reserve Champion at what was his FIRST show! |

| a difference - rather 'late' 2010 season foals!! On the 10th of April 2011, we had a rather handsome young fellow born - CM Moonshadow - by CM Bedford Forrest and out of Lady Tuthaside. He is an Overo (solid Bay except for the blaze and one blue eye) colt who will be heading to NSW to Sue and Steve of Killarnie Stud, Moruya, when he is weaned! The 15th of May 2011 saw a gorgeous Buckskin filly by Billara Beersheba out of Golden Sands born - Sundance - she is a more than just a bit cute! |

| 2011 Dilutes Australia Youngstock Show - 7th August - Roseworthy The Billara Beersheba Babies did us proud!! How often do you get 5 - yes FIVE - youngsters by the one stallion in the one ring at a show?? A briliant effort by all! See the page for the results and a lot of pics! |

| BIG Changes at CM Sporthorses.... And yes, the rumour mill has been going flat out, as it does.... Hopefully this little note will put a halt to a few things! The Shell & Craig team HAVE parted ways permanantly. So what does this mean for CM Sporthorses and years of collecting the bloodlines and breeding? Very little hopefully! It has been mutually agreed that Shell is retaining CM Sporthorses, and has gone back to her maiden name. Billara Beersheba is the resident stallion at CM Sporthorses, and the Cleveland Bay Sporthorse girls are staying too! Craig is starting his own venture, Highrail Sporthorses, and has CM Oberon Toblerone along with Lachwood Titanium and a number of mares that suit those two stallions! After such a long time together, and always having worked well together with the horses, Shell and Craig will still swap services on occasions if it suits the breeding path both want to take, and remain friends. Craig is staying in Minnipa for the time being - on the two properties on the other side of town, while Shell is in her Grandparents home and is retaining the two properties there. Shell and Craig wish each other all the best with their future endeavours, and hope to continue providing quality Sporthorses for their clients! |

| 2011 Royal Adelaide Show Breed Day - 20th August - Wayville Showgrounds CM Independant Miss - 1st 2yr old and under WB Filly - Reserve Champion WB Female CM Desert Dreams - 2nd 2yr old and under WB Gelding |
| Sporthorses.... New 'family' members 'Winky-Wonky' (the donkey - formerly known as Jack) and 'Frank' (racing name of Yanac (not sure on spelling!) have joined us! Winky-Wonky is a pet, though he may find himself in a pony harness and hooked up to the jinker at some point! Frank, wanted to be a Sunday Driver, not a racehorse, so he is going to be a harness horse for me when he has settled in and got used to the routine here at CM Sporthorses! |

She is just gorgeous and is going to be a lovely big girl! She has been sold and has been named CM She's All That (Amira as a paddock name). Congratulations Rebecca Paech!! Click HERE to see her! |

| it was first thing!!) by the birth of a foal! Roc On and CM Commanding Miss have produced a beautiful buckskin filly! We are thrilled with this little girl and she is a lovely strong healthy filly who is already out in the paddock - though that is mainly due to her possibly drowning if she was left in the foaling yard!! Its a bit boggy at the moment! |
| October 2011 A rather soggy start to October has been had here on the Eyre Peninsula, however we are not complaining as that brings some more feed up and finishes off the farmers crops nicely! Halfway through October and we have 3 new foals for the month! |
| . |
| On the 17th of October, Billara Beersheba and CM Killarnie Ceildih produced a beautiful bay filly - CM Ciarra Ashlinn. Congratulations to Bianca Payne - your baby is FINALLY here! |

| Exciting News!!! CM Sporthorses is relocating to ALDINGA, South Australia in the not too distant future! When I have a moving date to share with you - I will pop it up here along with the location! lined up for Billara Beersheba who wants to get out and do some dressage on him! Roc On will also be getting out and about as much as possible! |

| last ever foal for CM Sporthorses was born. A lovely colt by CM Bedford Forrest out of Donna Del Lago.
