Danjera Tzakkar Arrives

Danjerra Tzakkar on lease from Mick & Gail Rooney of Danjera Arabians arrived on Saturday 22nd August from Danjera Arabians at Nowra in NSW. Tzakkar was originally caught up in the travel restrictions imposed by EI and foaled the colt Khanjur by Senussi.

We were particularly pleased to be able to access the bloodlines of the lovely Senussi and Gail kindly let us return Tzakkar to him in the hopes of a filly foal.

It is always a bit of a gamble to lease horses sight unseen and to see Tzakkar in the flesh was a great relief. She is a lovely, big bodied mare who can move really well - just as Gail had promised. Her bloodlines will be greatly treasured here and it is planned to put her to the sons of Silver Wind van Nina in the future.

Danjera Tzakkar has settled in well in her new home and we eagerly await her foal in December.

For a full pedigree and more information please see her page Danjera Tzakkar.

"......On the third day, we left our base in Toowoomba and headed west for Brisbane. First stop was Comanche Lodge owned by Janice and Bruce O’Connor. Janice had produced a wonderful catalogue for us all to use and the parade started with the leased mare, Saronett Dhehebi Zahra by Magic Myth out of Dancing Fay with an exquisite foal, Comanche Lodge Dream Dancer by Silver Wind van Nina who impressed us all.

Another Saronett mare, El Fakim Wahida also had a foal by Janice’s stallion. This mare is out of Indian Fair, an Indian King grand-daughter.

The mare Fenwick Sarina’s (Sindh x Salvina) pedigree is amazing in that after two generations you cite Silver Vanity, Silfina, Shalina so it was fascinating to see that her lovely daughter Comanche Lodge Rainbird by Silver Wind van Nina was so stunning.

Another amazing pedigree is that of Bundara Park Tria, now 26 years young by Bronzetone (Sindh x Badiyan) out of Ractria (Sharrak x Electria). This lovely mare looked well for her age.

The star of the stud, Silver Wind van Nina, had gone all the way to Victoria in 2000 for the Crabbet Convention in Melbourne. He is by Silver Conquest who we had hoped to see as he was a full brother to the outstanding Silver Somerio seen earlier on the trip. His dam, Ronina was by Grand Royal impressing on us again how quickly the Australian horses go back to the original Crabbet imports.

We were able to enjoy the remaining horses in the paddocks before moving on our busy schedule. ..."
