TRAINING TIME
Chamel Fields horses are all trained by Judith from Day 1. First
lesson is to put your nose into a halter, then let me touch you all over.
As Judith is now a bit of a geriatric with a troublesome back, most
training is done sitting down as seen below with a patient (and well
behaved) 5 month old colt, Titan, remembering his moves.
A rewarding scratch
Just stay there, please.
And now the back foot.
And in the round yard, last years geldings are put through their paces
by Dutch WWOOFer, Manon.
Prince, Jack, Cadet, Goldie and Chockie, being good
boys.
BRAG TIME!
A number of Chamel Fields foals have been
successful in the show ring over the years; some have moved on to new
homes and some are still here. Chamel Fields has been breeding winners
for over 12 years. Here is the line up.
It is
with congratulations that I introduce the foals now living elsewhere, and
with pride, of course, for all of them. I am now unable to show
myself due to health problems and time constraints, so it is particularly gratifying
that some are making their way in the world in the more capable hands of
others.
And hot off the press, one of this season's little ladies:
Chamel Fields Pandora
Congratulations to her owners, Mel
and Julie Jackson for a great showing at the Foal Show, Oakbank, May 2011
for Supreme Exhibit of the Show!
 Sire:
Fairyland King of Hearts Dam: Chamel Fields Fruehling, now also owned

Chamel
Fields Whisket
Bay filly, owned by Donna Bootle of Meadows, SA. Whisket acts as if she
was born
to the show ring, and is doing very well for herself. She actually had the affrontery to roll into
Donna's lap as a weanling (that hooked Donna, and no, I didn't teach her
to) and she's been showing off every since.
RIP

Chamel Fields Cavalier
Chestnut stallion, owned by Donna Bootle of Meadows, SA. Known as "Ruff' at home, Cavalier is a little
gentleman who has also succeeded in the show ring in his first show
season.

Chamel Fields Sweet William
William
made his fame as a yearling in Victoria in 2004, winning at Ballarat, the
Victoria State Champs and the Nationals. William is now a mature 30" and
remains as fine as he appears in this photo taken in 2004!
Since then, he has been 'stallion in waiting' at Chamel Fields, although he has had
2 foals, a little chestnut pinto gelding, CF Maestro and this season, a
black/brown filly, CF Dione.

 Chamel
Fields Satin Side of the Moon
Satin was sold to Leanne and Tim White Of Rumbrook Stud and was shown in
2006. I am not
sure but I think this photo was at the Nationals in that year.
She is a cremello pinto mare.
Sire:
Bond Kid Gloves
Dam: Belka Valley's Cosmic Smoke
Chamel Fields Silken Moon
Silke, a
taffy buckskin minimal pinto mare, owned by John and Rosemary Bailey of Yeliab
Miniature Horse Stud, Balaklava has been extensively shown in South
Australia since she was a yearling filly, and has done well in her classes
during that time. She is now entering motherhood, and her progeny are
eagerly awaited.
Sire: Bond Kid Gloves
Dam: Shangrila Desert Serenade
Chamel Fields Larkspur
'Larky' is
a buckskin appaloosa small horse stallion, owned by John and Rosemary
Bailey of Yeliab Stud at Balaklava,
who has sired several handsome colts for them. He and
John have a very special affinity for each other which is a joy to see.

Dam: Wildflower Shamans Wild Melody
 Chamel
Fields Fruehling
Fruehling won at the Nationals in the Amateur section at my very first
National Show, and I can't remember the year! Boy, was I chuffed!
She is now well and truly a chubby little broodmare, but still has a claim
to fame as a dam of champions, CF Sweet William and CF Whisket.
Now owned by Julie and Mel Jackson of Finniss, SA along with her filly, CF
Pandora, foaled this season.
Sire: Bond Kid Gloves
Dam: Beltona Party Girl
Chamel Fields Bright and Sparky
Sparky also won at the Nationals as a yearling gelding, the same show as
Fruehling, above.
Sparky has always been a character with a sense of humour.
He is now owned by Lauren McGrath who now lives in Victoria. He and his brother CF Sorcerer were my first carriage horses,
and Sparky was actually driven at the Nationals the following year.

 Chamel
Fields Windsong
Windsong,
a taffy buckskin pinto mare was also a successful entrant at the National
Show as a yearling filly . She won her class in 2003 and has since
become a mother, in 2008 of CF Chemise (see below). Sadly, she lost a filly foal due a placental abruption during birth
the next season. She
has since foaled a palomino gelding to Bond Kid Gloves (CF Golden Boy) and a
taffy pinto colt to Ashfield Park Napoleonic Legend (CF Titan) this season.

Dam: Belka Valleys' Cosmic Smoke
Stock is always available, including broodmares and show quality younger
stock, as well as Dexter cattle - sometimes steers, cows and heifers. You won't
see much of us at the shows - too busy with other things, but when you do,
take note. All those who have been to the Nationals so far have come
home successful, so have a look at the
Sales List to
find your mini delight. Or better still, consider a
broodmare for your stallion, or even one in foal.
And don't forget about a holiday at Chamel Fields Farm Stay. There is a
discount for guests who end up buying a horse or a cow!
AND YOU GET TO ADOPT A HORSE FOR THE TIME OF YOUR STAY, like Scotty did -here
seen with CF
Sweet William as a little tacker!
