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.
