Featured Horse:

Chalani Opera & Belinda Battersby.

Chalani Opera is owned by Belinda Battersby of Scott Creek, SA. She has been successfully performed in ASH competition, including 1st Ridden ASH Mare Adelaide Royal 2011 and 3rd in the Led ASH mare. From dressage and ANSA classes, to Show Jumping and novelties at the Masters Games with a swag of medals, Opera has been a great and consistent allrounder for Belinda.

She is on track to high point awards in the SA Central Branch, attending many ASH Highpoint shows in 2011. She was Champion Ridden ANSA and Reserva Champion ASH Hack (to Chalani Minerva) at Northern Hack and Halter show 2011. We look forward to hearing more of the enjoyment the pair have together.

Opera is a full sister to the stallions Nightdance and Playwright, the gelding Actor and the mares Dance and Ballet (By Splashdance from Chalani Giselle). This has proven to be a particularly successful cross.

Cattle Working Clinic

Chalani Trivia and Kim Ide attended a beginners Cattle Working Clinic in Tintinara on 14/15th Jan 2012. An excellent clinic with basic principles covered, such as - how to select a cow, where to place your horse when cutting a cow, when to call for the 'gate' and where to position the horse once 'outside' to make the cow go faster or turn.

Some photos are on Chalani Trivia's page or under the cattle work photo gallery.
