The buckskin colt Diamond Road Identity (Ray of Light x Badet BGA) has been sold to Samntha Foster of Luddenham in Sydney. Samantha is the owner of another buckskin colt bred by us, Diamond Road Aureous. We wish Samantha every success with her buckskin boys, look out for them in the show ring.

In December 2009 Diamond Road Arabians were lucky enough to have famed photographer Scott Trees visit the farm to photograph a number of our horses. The horses all behaved beautifully, in no small part due to the cool and calm atmosphere that having Scott at the helm ensures. At left, Scott explains to handler Jared how to position Ray of Light.

Dilutes Australia Ltd recently held the 4th NSW Coloured Horse and Pony Championships at The Hills District Pony Club. Diamond Road Arabian's were represented by the brothers Diamond Road Aureous and Diamond Road Applause who brought home to their proud owners the following results.
Best Presented Buckskin - Diamond Road Aureous

Ray of Light was awarded Reserve Champion Part Arabian Colt 3&4 Years at Australia's biggest show, the Australian National Arabian Championships.

US judge Cindy Reich was moved to write in her report for the Arabian Horse News "Another standout stallion was the striking cremello Partbred Stallion, Ray of Light. I was particularly taken by this stallion's outstanding balance, length and squareness of hip and croup and extreme type. Combined with his sensational cremello color he was simply a delight to watch."

Prepared to perfection by Ben and Myra Kelly, Ray of Light showed beautifully and we are very grateful for all of the offers of congratulations. Photo by Derek O'Leary.
