Warlord II (Born 1996, Daley K/Balmoral Princess)
Warlord II was purchased from Blackall Park by Melissa Froesch as a
yearling. He displayed above average ability from an early age. As a
six year old he won the all age champion showjumper at the prestigious
"Jumping with the stars" at Werribee Park, in a class judged by John
Cottle. He followed this
by becoming a consistent performer in A & B Grade competitions,
and jumped in his first World Cup qualifier as a seven year old. Gavin
Chester purchased the horse as an eight year old, and quickly they
became one of the top combinations in the country. In the 2006/2007
World Cup season Gavin and Warlord II won five consecutive qualifiers,
a world record. They then represented the Pacific League in
the final of the World Cup in Las Vegas in April 2007, where they
performed creditably, although lacking the international
experience of most of their rivals.
Warlord II now back in Australia, had his first
start in
the World Cup Qualifier at Sale on the 30th November2008. He finished
in
third place after two very good four fault rounds over a high
standard course built by Leeson Sirett

Among his many achievements, was a win in the keenly contested Sydney
young horse futurity.

Blackall Park Athos
(Born 1998, Daley K/Balmoral Beauty)
Athos has been retained at Blackall Park to be a competition
representative. He is the first foal from Balmoral
Beauty, closely related to Warlord II on his dam's
side. Athos was given his early training by Denis Crane, and
is now admirably partnered by 16 year old Kate Fleischer, stable rider
for Blackall Park. Athos and Kate thrilled a Tonimbuk crowd
when they jumped 1.4m in a bareback puissance at the pre Christmas show
in 2007. He is from a very strong family, Kelly Lees has two
of
his siblings, Cincinatti Rose, and Ohio Silver. Both of these horses
are well above average and look certain to go through to A
Grade
level. Another brother Emmaville Darius, owned by Grant Hughes has been
retained as a colt. He has commenced his stud career, and
will
now be given further training under saddle. Like his
siblings, he
is destined for a career in Showjumping.

started by Susie Crane for showjumping, and attracted immediate
attention due to his flamboyant style and stunning appearance.

Blackall
Park Zambezi (Born
1994,
Daley K/Calmere)
Zambezi started his jumping career in September 2001. Within
18 months he was B Grade This horse has a relaxed and
extremely light way of going, and is ridden in loose ring snaffle bit
with no other aids. He is in our opinion one of the most
talented jumpers bred at Blackall Park to date.
The horse was campaigned in Australia by Damian Kiss, before
being sold to America where he has continued to perform well.

Cavalier Boots
(Born 1999, Daley K/Balmoral Jess)
Boots is a particularly attractive horse with way above average
movement. He was broken in at Blackall Park and schooled in dressage by
Susie Crane. Sold to Stephen Dingwell, he has now commenced a

career was being the leading horse at Canberra Royal

Grant Hughes was so impressed with Design, that he purchased two of his
younger full brothers.

Blackall
Park Atlantis (Born
1999,
Daley K/Balmoral Belle)
Blackall Park Atlantis, is one of many outstanding foals from
this great
mare. He is currently owned and ridden by Grant Hughes, and is
improving rapidly. This very talented horse is becoming very consistent
in A
& B Grade competitions. A recent highlight was a great win in
the
Grand Prix class at the Dubbo Show. He is also something of a six bar
specialist and is rarely beaten. Recently he shared first place in this
type of competition where both horse jumped just under two
metres. Grant feels that Atlantis will
fill
the gap left from when his two great Daley K
Showjumpers, Emmaville Design and Emmaville Diplomat were
exported to Japan.

Park Winchester (Born
2000,
Daley K/Balmoral Girl)
Winchester is full brother to Emmaville Design, and Emmaville Diplomat,

makes us think he will be of the same standard. He is in a
very good stable and is well managed and ridden by Martin Alomes. We
have high expectations for him.

of many top quality horses bred from Daley K mares by frozen semen.
This wonderful young mare is tall, trainable, and
athletic. She is

of the
highest quality young showjumping bred mares in the country.

Warwind (Born 1998,
Daley K/Sunshine)
Warwind was one of several
very good horses from Sunshine. The best known of the others would be
HP Fontaine. (see below).
Warwind was orphaned at a very young age and hand reared by Heather
Johns. He grew very tall, almost 18hh and was always an outstanding
horse. Broken in by Rob Clay he began dressage training before being
purchased by Shae Hanger. Shae and Warwind have
had a
spectacular show career culminating in
their
historic victory in the 2008 Garryowen trophy. |

1991, Daley K/Ashleigh Coppelia)
Splash was purchased by Viv Axton as a 2 year old for dressage. The
horse has “never put a foot wrong” and
steadily progressed to FEI level. After a wonderful
competetive career she has been retired to stud.
Splash was well known among the dressage fraternity, and was
renowned for her temperament and trainability.
This lovely mare is sure to produce foals of the highest
quality.

Tjandamurra
(Born 1993, Daley K/Ashleigh Coppelia)
Pud, as known to his 'family and friends' was jointly owned by Marg
England and Rob Clay. He progressed without a hitch in his
dressage career to Prix St George level, and looked certain to become
an FEI Level horse. Sadly this was not to be as Pud died suddenly from
colic. A great loss to his many friends and
admirers, he was a particularly striking horse with the
obvious ability to reach Grand Prix.

War
Wizard (Born
1995, Daley K/Balmoral Countess)
Tony, as he is known at home, was first owned by Heather Johns and
trained jointly by Heather and Rob Clay. Tony is a tall 17.2hh striking horse with
elegant movement and particularly calm temperament. His dam was a full
sister to Balmoral Princess, the mother of Warlord II, so there is
plenty of jump in his pedigree.
After showing great potential in dressage, he changed ownership and career path, and is now owned by Seamus Marwood.
War Wizard has done very well in his first 3DE starts, and looks likely
to move to the next level with ease. He is also a competent
showjumper winning several events recently.
