Victoria Tower Stud

May 2010
This Foal Show season, Victoria Tower Sequel (by VT Summer Serenade) was prepared and campaigned by Greg Mickan and Terry Van Heythuysen. I could not be more pleased with the professionalism of Greg and Terry and the care given to Sequel. The first show for Sequel was the A.P.S.B. Western Promotional Group Foal Show where he was awarded 1st Open Colt or Gelding to Mature 12.00hh - 13.00hh, Champion Open Breeds Foal, 1st Riding Pony Colt or Gelding to Mature Over 12.2hh, Champion Riding Pony Foal and Supreme Champion Open Breeds Foal. Greg and Terry presented Sequel beautifully and Greg did a wonderful job leading him. A week later, VT Sequel attended the V.A.H.A. Petstock Youngstock Show. Another very successful show where he was awarded 1st Riding Pony Male, Champion Riding Pony, Supreme Champion Open Breed Foal, 1st Arabian Riding Pony Male, Champion Arabian Riding Pony and Supreme Champion Arabian Derivative. At the Riding Pony Foal Show, VT Sequel was 2nd in a very strong colt class. He was then awarded Reserve Champion. Once again, superbly presented by Greg and Terry and led by Greg. Victoria Tower Sequel is now home having a well earned break.

The gorgeous colt Victoria Tower Sequel (VT Summer Serenade/Mirinda Centre Stage) has now been weaned. Sequel truly is breathtaking, and not only has he inherited VT Summer Serenade's looks but also movement. >>>> After alot of deliberation, we decided to sell Beckworth Royal Summer. Summer has a very special place in our hearts, and would only be sold to a wonderful home. We were delighted when Rowena Cameron from River Ridge Stud in Queensland contacted us regarding Summer, and we knew then we had found the perfect home

Mirinda Centre Stage foaled a stunning chestnut colt with a star, stripe, snip and one white sock on the 22nd October. He is the first foal born by Victoria Tower Summer Serenade and is so similar to Summer Serenade, not only in type but also movement. We couldn't be happier. >>>>
	We also purchased Radford Lodge Manuscript with colt foal at foot from Bree Petrie. The colt, Birchwood Bubbling Over, is by Myscal Encore and will mature large pony. We look forward to foal showing both him and Sequel at next year's foal shows. Many thanks to Bree for selling us her beautiful horses and also to Nathan in his search for our perfect broodmare. <<<<
Victoria Tower Summer Serenade competed at the Riding Pony Pageant, prepared by Nathan Berrill. It was an extremely wet day, with November's monthly rainfall, falling in 24 hours!	Nathan did a wonderful job exhibiting Summer Serenade in these conditions, not only was it wet but also windy. They won 3 Year Old Riding Pony Colt, 2 and 3 Year Old Arabian Derivitive Colt and were also awarded Champion Colt or Stallion.

Once again, beautifully prepared and campaigned by Nathan Berrill.
