Featured Horse:Chalani Jarrah & Eva RhodesChalani Jarrah is a 15.2hh bay gelding by Splashdance from Chalani Sheoak. He was broken in by Roslyn Day as a 2yo and then competed at a few shows as a 3yo with Kim Ide (nee Gower). He received favourable comments from several judges and competitors about his fantastic movement. Jarrah was 1st in his 3yo Futurity which was held at Lucindale Ag Show in 2005, judged by Jane Allen. He was also the ASH hack champion the same day. Jarrah sold to a young girl to do showing and Pony Club. She had success with him at local shows and did Pony Club, flat work and some jumping with him. When she decided to dedicate herself to studies, Jarrah was sold to Eva Rhodes. Eva spent some time caring for him after an injury, before she took him out in the hack ring. Jarrah has proven himself to be an easy going horse to work with and completed his first Royal at Adelaide in 2010, contending the open hack classes as well as the ASH led & hack. He made the task of Eva's first Royal an enjoyable one and looks set to continue on his winning ways. |

Also some small paddocks, a spiffy looking teasing rail, fencing and water trough maintenance was done. Many thanks to Mark and Eric. Having never had an arena before and having struggled for a flat area (until moving to Monarto) it is rather an exciting event. |

Placings for Chalani horses include: Chalani Minerva & Kim Ide - 2nd ASH filly under 4 years. Chalani Walkabout & Vanessa Clancy - 2nd Led ASH Gelding (pic right). More Walkabout photos. Chalani Suede & Chari-Lee Hoad - 3rd ASH filly under 4 years Chalani Apollo & Chari-Lee Hoad - 1st Station Horse, 2nd ASH Hack & placings in ASHLA & Stockman's Turnout. Special mention to Chalani Jarrah and Eva Rhodes who competed at their first Royal (a first time for both horse and rider) in the hack and ASH classes. Jarrah worked consistently well throughout the entire show and put on a great lengthened trot in the Led ASH gelding class (pic below right). Walkabout had his first show class under saddle ever in the ASH Hack class and didn't put a foot wrong. Vanessa has only had Walkabout a few months and appears to be forming a great partnership with him (pic below left).

The Chalani brandLazy K, one, two is the Chalani brand. It came about in the first year of the stud, just over 40 years ago. Jeanette's maiden name was Killmier. She chose it quite simply because of the K in Killmier, but that was not available, so she put it on its side, hence the 'lazy' part of the brand name. The brands department registered it with a curl on the K, so it was a nice little surprise when the registration came back. Brands are now controlled by the agricultural department of each state (PIRSA in SA). Most breed societies still require brands, due to some benefits of branding over microchipping:
Brands DO need to be registered with PIRSA and they are 3 digit brands. BUT you can get away with a symbol or other non standard brands under two exemptions - old brands that were "grandfathered" into the system and have been in continuous use and/or a stud brand...registered with a breed society, to be used only on your purebred stud stock. The ASH is considered a breed so we can use our brand on any of our horses. In recent times we have used a freeze brand because it is more visible and therefore marketable - people know our brand. |
