Today we said good bye to our beautiful Daisy Patch Ophelia (Zena). While my head knows we had no choice my heart is breaking
After a short but very successful show career including Best Novice Hack at Sydney in her first year under saddle culminuating with winning the Crane trophy in 2013, Zena moved to the brood mare paddock. She did insist on being rugged and stabled ever night for many years and taught her babies to go into the stables at the first inkling of rain.
Zena will be remembered via her lovely babies especially the beautiful Daisy Patch New Orleans. There are 3 lovely fillies starting their Show careers in Victoria and S.A so Zena babies will continue her name Her last foal Daisy Patch New York is a yearling and we believe he too will just as stunning as his mother and his brother and sisters.
Our thanks to Dr Stephen and Melinda Mcintock for their care and compassion for Zena and us her human herd.
I am useless at photos but took these today.
