| CM StaaStruck - 2006 Season Gelding |
| Tadpole sold at 13 days old to Donna Franceschi of Jakoma Equestrian Park, a WA Showjumping home! Update: March 2008 - Tadpole apparently eats "Just Right" off a spoon and out of Donnas bowl, and has even worn pink ribbons in his mane, glittery eyeshadow and lipstick! And she wonders why he sat down like a dog and squealed at her! lol... I think someone is spoilt rotten and loves it! Update: April 2008 - Photo below was taken on the 22nd April 2008. Taddy had an underdeveloped caecum and wasnt processing his food as well as he should have been. He is however now starting to fill out a litle more and Jennie and Donna are expecting that come springtime he will just bloom. He is quite tall and is looking like a lovely young horse. He is a cheeky little man who loves attention and often gets himself into trouble apparently! Donna is constantly telling us what he gets up to! It sounds like they are a perfect match for each other and will do well in the future! |
| Above you can see Tadpole in early August 2008 after a grooming session, and below, his first time ever freejumping late August 08. |
| Above and Right: Tadpole in May 2009 - looking lovely! |
| Tadpole in July 2009 - at Pullgaroo Station for breaking in with GeeJay Sport Horses' Graeme and Janet. |
| Graeme Newton and Janet Winter from Geejay Sport Horses at Pullgaroo Station, Paynes Find in Western Australia are breaking Tadpole in for Donna and Jennie Francheschi. Taddy went to Pullgaroo Station in July 2009, and these images of Graeme riding him were taken in August 2009. He has taken the whole process pretty well and is going nicely according to Janet. He is meeting all sorts of things such as goats, big scarey signs, and general station life! |
| Sire: CM Danzaponastaa (TB) Dam: Baxters Faberge (Hanoverian) Born: 23rd October 2006 Tadpole is a lovely little fellow who is fairly petite, but if he follows in the footsteps of his half siblings, will grow into a lovely big solid boy. His dam is by Fechtor, Chris Chuggs Sky High's full brother. His half siblings include Winter Wizard (Arabian Warmblood Stallion) and Mein Klute (Stallion son of Mosel Klute), who were both out of Baxters Faberge. |
| The photographs of Taddy schooling at home were taken on the 1st May 2010. Below right you can see a 6yr old having a ride! |
| In the surrounding photographs you can see Donna aboard CM StaaStruck at Bussleton, WA mid 2010. It was Tadpoles first outing and all things considering, he was pretty well behaved! Its a huge thing for a young horse to get out and stay sane on the course with the loud speakers, flags, all the different sights with the jumps all being different - dazzleboards, flowers, signage etc... and horses buzzing around everywhere. Donna is really pleased with Tadpole and how he is going! He is a credit to the time and effort she has put into training him! |
