Iona Park Open Day

Thank you to everyone who attended our open day on 25th April. I didnt realise when I first set the date that it was both Anzac day and Hawkesbury show but all in all we had a great day. Iona Park Virtuoso was sold and we have interest in some other young horses. Toy Soldier was a star and showed off his amazing temperament which culminated in a number of interested parties wanting to bring their mares to him this season. Our photographer did not turn up on the day so very sadly we have no good pics for our news pages but here are some that my husband took as happy snaps. Firstly is I Pk Harmony, followed by Rhythm last but not least two of the girls leading Concerto and I Pk Freedom. Sadly not good photos but more to come as our newly broken in young hack Iona Park Rhythm, Galloway I Pk Harmony, and I Pk Maestro get into their work all three year olds! Watch this space...
