A new horse!

A new horse will be arriving here the week after next. She is 3/4 Arabian and 1/4 Thoroughbred, but although an Anglo Arabian is registered Part Arabian. Her name is Loudoun Imari and she's getting along in years. In her day she was a very good endurance horse, and her full sister Talisman Gamin was a big winning endurance horse. Furthermore, one of Gamin's foals "Captain Starlight" placed equal 3rd in the Quilty (Australia's biggest endurance ride, 160 km = 100 Miles) in recent years.
In 1988 alone, Gamin was 9th National Endurance Horse (Australia), and Winner of: Northern Rivers Zone Horse, Distance Horse, and Best Conditioned Horse Pointscore winner.
Lou has a long trip ahead of her the week after next, from Tasmania to northern NSW. I'll put up photos of her when she arrives - meanwhile, I am hoping to track down a picture of her in her youth.
