A farewell to Homer but new horses for sale

EDR's Have Faith or 'Homer' has successfully completed his two weeks training at Curragh and returns home today as a champion showjumper. He will be missed, but his departure means that Curragh is once again open for training applications. If you are interested in dedicated one-to-one training for your horse, including competing then please email kat.curragh@gmail.com to discuss an individually tailored training package. We can train horses up to the top levels of Jumping and Racing and make sure they fulfill challenges even beyond those.

We have also had a few new arrivals. Curragh Stud recently bought the beautiful MSE's Critical Acclaim from the Akhal-Teke breeders and registry, Morning Star Equestrian. She has given us two gorgeous foals: CS High Flyer, a bright, red-bay filly by CS Osprey; and CS Red Prince, a coppery chestnut colt by Curragh King. Both will be made available on request, so please check our sales page for more details.

Rupert, real pony now in my game!

I share a pony in the real world, and he's a Connemara-type pony called Rupert. I decided to make him and put him in my game the other day and I am really proud of the way he's turned out!




 

His traits in game are: Agile, Piggy and Playful because he's a greedy, cheeky little chap but he is awesome at both dressage and jumping. I placed him with a family in game and it was really cute watching him roll in the dirt, stuff his face full of hay and prance around just like the real Rupert does. I want to try to register him with DC Stables Connemara registry and get him up on my Sales page for adoption. He'd be a really fun and cute addition to anyone's game.

Updated Registry, About, Breeding and Sales pages

I have updated the above pages to make things clearer and to add new information. I have upgraded several horses on the Register and added a new horse, CS Apollo, to the Sales page.

Please have a look at the updates pages and get in touch about any sales or breeding requests. I don't currently have space for any training liveries as I am currently training EDR's Have Faith, and I can only take on one horse at a time. The email for all inquiries is kat.curragh@gmail.com

Thank you!

Our new filly foal - CS High Flyer (Flora)

We recently bred our newly acquired Akhal-Teke mare, MSE's Critical Acclaim, with CS Osprey. Their beautiful foal has just been born and she is gorgeous! She has inherited her mother's metallic red-bay coat and it looks like she will be Fast and Athletic from all the running around she enjoys.

Here are some pictures of Flora and her proud parents:

EDR's Have Faith (Homer) begins his training at Curragh

Christina at Edinburg Dream Ranch has sent one of her stallions, 'Homer', for showjumping training. He arrived last night and has settled in well. Thanks to his 'Genius' trait he is progressing easily.

Here are some pictures of Homer at Curragh:

 Homer was a bit shy when he arrived so I spent some time grooming him and found him a yummy treat -



As Homer is an Agile horse he picked up the Jumping skill very quickly and won a Beginner Showjumping competition on his first time out -


Moving on to more advanced jumps -
 Keep checking back for more updates of Homer's progress!

Registration Certificates are now available

Computers and photo/picture editing are not my strong point but we now have smart certificates available to the owners of all registered horses. Full credit for the template used to create the certificates goes to the girls at Equus-sims.com, who are much better at these things than I will ever be!

Here is a picture of Curragh King's certificate:

If you are interested in booking a breeding or registering a horse with us, please email kat.curragh@gmail.com.

Equus-Sims is a fantastic site, which inspired me to create this stud and registry. They have their own Arabian and Hanoverian studs and registries at the Lawrence Equestrian Centre, as well as hosting competitions and TS3:Pets resources. If you haven't visited them yet I strongly recommend that you do!
