 In a bid to live a healthier lifestyle in the country we have purchased a McCallum made Chicken Tractor - a mobile chicken hutch - and four soft feather hens - all called Myrtle because we cannot tell them apart. They are a happy little bunch clucking and diggin and hopefully soon the Comanche Lodge egg factory will be in production.

 Comanche Lodge would like to thank Kelly McDougall of Mahazin Arabians for giving us the opportunity to stand her very lovely chestnut stallion, Wonders Never Cease, this coming season. Wonders is a pure Crabbet Arabian by the Bakos son Volcano who is from the beautiful Baz daughter Victorine. Wonders’ dam is the Silver Fire line, Oxford Wonder, whose parents were both imported from Crabbet Park itself.

 How beautiful a day can be
When kindness touches it!
~George Elliston
We would like to thank all of those who have taken the time to write, phone, email, text or otherwise send your thoughts and kind words on the loss of our beautiful white horse Silver Wind Van NIna. It has helped tremendously through these dark and sad days. Thankyou, Bruce, Janice & Michael.

"On the 27th May 2009 at approximately 5pm, our amazing Silver Wind Van Nina suffered a heart attack and passed away. He was not quite 19years old."
We miss him.

 It is an O'Connor tradition to vist the Ekka as many times as we can each year. We love the sights and sounds, the strawberry ice creams and the cheerios. It is a Brucie tradition that we always buy a bag with a kite. Usually they don't fly but this year we had to buy from a kite stand and not only did they fly they flew high. Michael has an eagle kite and Bruce a multi coloured more traditional shape. The mares and foals thought they were terrific fun and an eagle dropped in to check out the interloper in his territory.

Energex replaced all the power poles on our street and installed a new one just outside the mare and foal paddock. One of the  workers had to come into the paddock to help control the pole as it was lifted into the hole.
The mares and foals had to go over and supervise that it was all done correctly - despite the hay we put out to keep them out of the way!

 Bruce and his pony The Lady Jay (Ramzi*/Lady Ian) shoed at the 2008 Challenge Show to take out the Champion Harness Horse. Gail Webster kindly loaned Bruce her viceroy and tho the pair worked in it for the first time the morning of the classes performed very well to take out the award. They certainly looked smart.

 Bruce and I were invited by Peter Toft and his family to join with horse people from all disciplines to officially celebrate the end of EI in Australia in the beautiful reception room of the Bremervale Arabians impressive barn. The night was filled with lots of horse talk, with everyone keen to get back to what we do best - work, live and breathe our horses.

In Memory
By Alii (imp USA/dec) from Ridgecrest Sa'Arleena
Big, bold colt born 29th October 2007. We had purchased his dam Sa'Arleena specifically to breed to Silver Wind Van Nina to do the El Shaklan/Silver Fire breeding backwards - that is to use a Crabbet Stallion of Silver lines over El Shaklan line mares to prove our belief that Crabbet stallions still have a very real role in the breeding of our modern show Arabians and should be incorporated into modern breeding programs to reinforce the qualities sought from Crabbet foundation mares.
