Sold Horses
Below are a selection of some of the horses that started their life and/or career at Talisman. We are proud to know that Talisman horses are out competing both Internationally and in Australia. Our aim at Talisman is to continue to produce top quality horses.
Henry (Highland Charm)
Henry was a horse Bec and James got off the track when he was a 3yo. He evented to 2** level in Australia. Bec trained and competed Henry until he went to Sam Lyle to be sold internationally, where Wayne Roycroft stated that he was of Olympic quality. Henry is now 3*** in the UK and is entered for Burghley 4**** in 2009 with Polly Jackson. Henry is also the brother of our Stallion ‘Ringo’.
Tango (Highland Fling) -
Bec got Tango off the track and competed him in Australia. He then went to Sam Lyle for sale internationally, where he was sold to Japan as a showjumper. In Australia Tango competed to 2**.
Murphy (Highland Murphy
Murph was one of our first ISH we bred. He was sold to Lys Baker in Victoria as a
un-
General
James and Bec got General off the track and started his basic flat work and jumping education. He was than sold to young rider Soraya in Canberra, who keeps in touch with us on his progress. Soraya has been out competing on General and doing a great job, they make a great partnership. We wish them both continued success.
Walter
Walter was another lovely big horse off the track that we started, he had a great nature and had super movement and jumping ability.
Bridie (Highland Bridie)
Bridie was one of our first ISH’s that we bred at Talisman. She always had the sweetest of natures and was sold to QLD as a weanling.
Wilson (Highland Wilson)
Wilson is another of our home bred youngsters. He was sold to Emma in Victoria as a weanling and regularly catches up with his half brother Murphy. Wilson is rising two and Emma is looking forward to when he is old enough to start. Emma is planning on eventing with Wilson and we wish them a lot of success together.
Grace (Highland Grace)
Grace is a rising 3yo. We have recently started her slowly under saddle and she has been taking to it extremely well. Grace will be going to her new home with Bonnie in spring once Bonnie has longer days after school to ride. In the meantime Bonnie has been coming to Talisman on weekends to ride Grace. We are sure she is going to make a super little eventer and look forward to coaching both Bonnie and Grace.
Jimmy
Jimmy was a young off the track horse that Phil took on when he arrived from England. Phil did a super job with starting his education on the flat and over jumps. Jimmy was than sold to Jamie a young rider in Canberra. We have since seen Jamie and Jimmy at jump clubs and they are forming a lovely relationship.
