"Angelique" was one of the original purebred mares for our small stud.  She was by the stunning "Boomerang Muskateer" and out of Desert Spark.  She produced three colts for us, two of them by Oakhill Diego.  Her first foal for us, "Roheryn Park Khaleef" by Windemere Sabarti, has been sold to an Endurance home and is an exceptional endurance horse.  Her next two foals for us were the full brothers, "Roheryn Dartagnon" and "Roheryn Desertique", both of whom went to Endurance homes.  We miss our beautiful girl and as she didn't grace us with a filly her loss is the end of the line for us.     Pedigree

"Rosie", is by the Boomerang Muskateer son, Desert ZaDen and out of Desert Rose.  She has been shown successfully and has produced many foals.  Her filly by Oakhill Diego, Roheryn Bint Rosita,  is now an eight year old and is being retained by us to succeed her mother.  She has recently been broken in and is going very kindly.  Her Arigo son, Roheryn Aragorn, died suddenly this year.  Our sympathies go to Ken and his family.  Pedigree

"Rhapsody" is by the Boomerang Muskateer son, Maricol Demise and out of the Comet grand-daughter, Sunni-Hi Selena.  She is a very sweet natured mare with lovely movement and comformation.  Sadly we don't have any foals from her and at 27 she is now happily retired.

"Peggy" is our little miracle child.  She was born four weeks premature in 2000 and was not looking like she was going to survive.  After two bags of plasma and some very intensive care she looked like she was going to pull through.  At about four weeks old she contracted joint ill and again things were looking very grim as the antibiotics weren't working.  She had emergency surgery on her very infected umbilicus which was subsequently removed.  Her recovery was rapid and she is now a very happy, healthy nine year old.  She has recently been broken in and is going very kindly.  Both our kids love riding her and she is happy to take them around and over the jumps!!!

"Peggy is by Oakhill Diego and out of the gorgeous Nihal Philipa daughter, Bluegrass Saacha.

"Pixie" is by Oakhill Diego out of the stunning Boomerang Muskateer grand-daughter, Maricol Rosita.  She has a superb people loving temperament.  One of those nose in your back horses.  She is unshown to date but has just been broken in and is going very kindly.  Hopefully she will be our 7 year old daughter Jaime's competition horse in a few years time when she is tall enough to ride her.
