Just thought I would let everyone know that we are downsizing our horse numbers, therefore there are quite a number of horses being sold for a very reasonable amount.
The horses we have for sale cover the whole spectrum:-
Thoroughbreds off the track
Weanlings (warmblood cross)
Competition horses - professionally trained in all three Olympic disciplines
Thoroughbred Brood Mares
Young Thoroughbreds ready to race
There are too many to feature independantly on the web site - the best approach would be to email or phone me with your requirements.

Congratulations to Clive HIcks and Croyden Park Dare Too -State QISEA Eventing Champion 2010. These pair are a great team and both have tons of ability. We will watch with excitement when they compete for Queensland in September.
I have just come back from 3 weeks in the Kimberleys - mainly exploring by water which was fantastic. It was very hard to return to this cold weather but oh well !!!!!!
We have decided to downsize the number of horses that we have here on Croyden Park so if you are looking for a horse to complete your family now is the time to contact me

This has been a very busy month with horses going every which way racing and eventing
Last weekend we had horses racing at Chinchilla, Toowoomba, Beaudesert and Gold Coast so that was a lot of miles clocked up
Mada had a terrific run at the Gold Coast on Monday (Anzac Day) coming 3rd in a very impressive field - not once was he mentioned in despatches before the race but they were sure talking about him afterwards. He loves racing and shows it coming into the mounting yard very proud and so he should be
Our eventers competed at Warwick Show showjumping and then at Warwick CIC 3 Day Event and Mt Gravatt ODE so have been very busy.
All performed well with Feldale Guest coming 2nd in Prelim and Croyden Park Merlin 5th in Pre Novice at the Easter CIC 3 Day Event
Croyden Park Merlin came 2nd in the 90cm at Warwick Show
Although we didn't take out any of the top places at Mt Gravatt we were very happy with how all the horses performed
I'd like to give a big vote of thanks to Clare Fowler and all the helpers at Mt Gravatt for a fantastic weekend
22nd March 2010
Our showjumping on the show circuit has finished and the eventing season has started
We competed five Croyden Park horses at Figtree Pocket on the weekend and all competed well.
Congratulations to Dean on Croyden Park Merlin who came 1st in Prelim and Croyden Park Evie who came 3rd in Intro
We are now looking forward to Warwick at Easter
See you There

The show circuit has started and I am so proud of all our young horses that are competing - we have already been to Stanthorpe and Allora Shows with Killarney the weekend after next.
Most of the horses that are competing are first timers in the competition arena and have coped with all the stresses like ferris wheels, loud speakers etc like veterans.
Horses that will be jumping at Killarney are Croyden Park Merlin, Croyden Park Dulux, Croyden Park Evie, Croyden Park Piquance, Croyden Park PD and Croyden Park Meg.
If you are looking to purchase a horse and want to see how it competes Killarney is the next showjumping event.
Watch out for Clive Hicks jumping Croyden Park Dare Too (Darren) - he is outstanding and jumping 1.25 metres and with ease. He is an outstanding looking horse as well - a real presence in the ring. Darren is leased to Clive till the end of the 2010 season and will be competing in ODE events as well as showjumping and interschool comps. If you want an outstanding horse, this is the one, he will be for sale at the end of 2010.
Another horse to watch is Croyden Park Lady. She was bought by Julia Tanner last year and they have bonded so well that Julia is getting more out of Lady than she showed us here during training.

Happy New Year - I hope everyone had a great holiday period and are now busy preparing for the start of the competitions for 2010.
We are busy preparing horses for Toowoomba Showjumping and Stanthorpe Show which are coming up within the next couple of weeks.
We have some very talented youngsters competing this year and look forward to their performances
Details will be posted on the horses for sale section within the next few weeks
Good Luck everyone
Cheers
Gaye
