on Wee Mini Cooper (updated 19.07.11)
We
first introduced you to Wee Mini Cooper as a newborn
foal in December 2010.
Now almost 8 months old, he is the pride and joy of the Malby family and

Cooper is forever on the move, be it playing with his range of toy
balls, curiously keeping an eye on his older horsey friends as they get
their daily exercise or showing off cruising down the jumping lane.
Since Cooper was a month old he had been jumping some little cavalletti
jumps that happen to be set up in the paddock where he roamed with his
dam, Clarsym Spyder. After he was weaned, he was let
out into the jumping paddock where on his own accord, followed the fence
line and started using the jumping lane. Anita-Kaye says he is so clever
and thinks he has got he has got everyone worked out.

Thanks for getting in touch, Lucy. We look forward to following Ben's

Over the winter months, the focus has shifted to Rubin’s dressage career with him in full time training with Cindy’s riding coach and accomplished Grand Prix dressage rider, Scott McKenna. Training in the higher level movements it is anticipated Rubin will have his first Prix St George start next season.
On the breeding side of things, Rubin enjoyed a huge book of mares from all over New Zealand last season. Along with the other mare owners, Cindy is eagerly awaiting her first crop of Rubin foals due later in the year.

After Dark made the trip across the Tasman late last year to stand at
Kiva Arabians. Recently, Bonni Paul has given us an update on what Piper
has been up to since his arrival...
Piper made his New Zealand debut at the New Zealand Arab Horse
Breeders Society Championship Titles Show. This show is the pinnacle of
our showing calender, a very illustrious show to attend and compete at.
This year we competed under judge Richard Petty from the USA at the
Canterbury Showgrounds on the South Island, for us it was a huge three
day trip to get there.
Piper trotted up a storm to be sashed New Zealand National Champion
Senior Derivative under 148cm, and to prove that consistency is the true
champion was sashed New Zealand National Champion Derivative Amateur to
Handle, exhibited by me.
Judge Richard Petty commented after his win in the this class..... "My
favourite horse of the day thus far - a true quality pony''.
Piper had another outing at the 2010 Royal Easter Show at the Auckland
Showgrounds. Piper yet again trotted his way into the ribbons being
sashed Champion Led Pony Stallion and Champion Arabian Derivative
Stallion.
At both venues the reception he recieved was just as expected, as he
strutted his stuff the show hacky people could not help themselves and
had to come over and meet him. By the last day of the Royal Easter Show
he had a huge entourage of people coming over to give him carrots and
generally bestow upon him the adoration he so deserves! When you see him
gingerly prising a fragment of carrot from a tiny tots hand the ribbons
pale in comparison to the amazing pony that is Piper, he truly is the
complete package - looks, trot and temperament. What more could a girl
ask for?
The most prestigious show of the year, promoted as the third largest in
the world, the EBL team were all eager and rearing to go!
EBL One Night In Paris caught the eyes of everyone she
floated past. With her astonishing presence this filly certainly made an
impact. Winning Led ANSA Filly 3 years and the Arabian Derivative Filly
3 years and over 14hh & n.e.15hh, Paris then went on to win Champion
Arabian Derivative Mare of Filly. and later sashed Supreme Champion
Arabian Derivative! What a fantastic debut for her first Royal Show,

a successful future. Congratulations to his owner, Cheree Hughan on yet
another great win!
Sanbar Ebony And Ivory aka 'Heather', was actually too
small for the measurer's stick when being measured. After sorting out
that dilemma, it was off to her class where she won the Miniature Pony
filly 2 years and under. Heather was right at home in the main arena
showing spectators her ‘cool bananas’ personality. Loved by all, Heather
sure made an impact!
A big thank you must go to all who were involved in the madness that
this show brings every year! Also, credit is due to the Royal
Agricultural Society of NSW on an extremely well run show, the logisitcs
of organising that many horses in one place would be most challenging!
