CF Chocolate Soldier  20 1/2" 'Yum, chocolate milk!' Triumph and Judith Chloe (butting in), Copper Princess with guest h Sydni and Princess having a quiet moment Even 3 legged Chloe dogs can have fun!

Summertime - Feb 2010 Foaling Update - At last!  Holly has foaled - a gorgeous dark bay colt 20 1/2" with her pretty face and wide brow - a very long tongue! This season is now complete with a pally pinto colt, CF Golden Boy; a taffy filly, CF Copper Princess, a pally pinto colt, CF Diamond Jack, a taffy pinto filly, CF Aztec Princess, a taffy buckskin pinto colt, CF Cobalt Cadet, a chestnut pinto filly, CF Shawnee Princess and finally, a bay colt, CF Chocolate Soldier.  Stallions so rarely get a mention on this page, and yet they are such an important part of a successful stud, so as I was passing today, I snapped Kid in his glowing golden best, and Cole doing his husband thing.  Kid is now an elderly gentleman of 17 yrs, Cole a mature gent of 10 yrs.  I had to dull Cole down from his true shiny black in order to see his face, but Kid's golden glow is the real thing. (Upper left). and on the right, is Kid's son, CF Bonanza, now 5 years old and for sale. And I have added a photo of Cadet, who is looking scruffy as he loses his baby fluff and begins to develop his true bronzy colour of taffy buckskin, and I had to wash him to find that flash of white on his side which makes him a pinto.  Aside from his colouring, he looks alot like his brother CF Braveheart from last season. An updated page, Miniature Horses on Show has been added.  Click on to have a look. The SALES PAGE is being updated, with a number of changes, and some photos of the foals from last year all clipped out. For horse pedigree and sale information, enter Sales List above.

Chloe, guarding 'her' herd Nobel KeyCat who will greet you on your arrival, investigate your car and check out the cottage for you after you have arrived - he lies when he says he is allowed in. RIP Lucy, you are greatly missed.

Welcome to Chamel Fields - home of the 'ADOPT A HORSE HOLIDAY'
Chamel Fields delights in sharing with guests the fun involved in caring for gorgeous little horses and cattle, feeding various chooks and ducks and delightful Yanthe, the donkey, now over 40 yrs, and still rattling the windows with her braying, as well as a gracious three legged Great Dane 'Chloe', and gregarious puss, 'KeyCat'.
Adopting a miniature horse, (or a donkey, cow, dog, cat or chicken or duck - it's all been done!) is a big feature of the holiday opportunity at Chamel Fields, and guests can get as involved as age and interest determines.  The adoption may simply involve calling a horse 'yours', right up to feeding, grooming, training, leading and taking your horse through the trail events. Some older girls have even slept out in the stables with theirs!  If you are very lucky you may get to be at the birth of a new baby.
Or you can simply come for a quiet retreat, a country wander or a quiet weekend on the farm, using Chamel Fields as a base from which to explore the local wineries, Mt Compass Produce Trail, Kyeema National Park, the Heysen train just across the road, Kuitpo Forest, McLaren Vale eateries, or go over to Strathalbyn and feed the ducks, or down south to enjoy Victor Harbor and Goolwa just a 1/2 hour away.  Or make your way down to the beach at Aldinga, 20 minutes west of here.
When you arrive, you will be greeted by Chloe and probably Key Cat, both very friendly.  Key will insist it is his duty to investigate your car and escort you to the cottage!  (And he lies when he tells you he is allowed in!)  Our second cat, aged 'Pincati' is around somewhere, but prefers to be reclusive, as she is now nearly blind.
For former guests, I am happy to report that Chloe, who lost a front leg to a bone tumour now 4 years ago, is going well and is still able to gallop up into the paddock, and loves cuddles from her buddy KeyCat, seen below as a kitten.  Dear little Lucy died of a heart attack in October and is sadly missed.
Many family members and friends have commented on the absence of photos of Judith on this website.  As I am most often behind the camera, there aren't many, but I found a few which I hope will do.  Here I am driving Triumph last summer and cuddling Mickey's baby, Heart and Soul, last Spring, up in the paddock with Suede and Velvet, and wearing KeyCat as a collar.
