Goldmine Melody, picture taken at home as a 15yr old and still looking grand

Goldmine Melody ASH Reg 123688


Melody is a stunning 15.2 hh copper chestnut mare. Her famous multi-champion sire Claredale Champagne Charlie has passed on his conformation and presence, while her mother has lent her speed and athleticism. Melody did very well in the hack ring before retiring after a floating accident. Her progeny are consistent good lookers with proven show-winning presence and kind temperaments.

Now aged 16, Melody leads a very relaxed life, although we are hoping that she will produce a couple more foals.

Harry (Derwent Silver Cello, ASH pending, born 8 September 2007)

Harry is a knockout. He's a palomino powerhouse with a real sense of humour. He's by The Nook Orlando from the old time show jumping Silver Chief bloodlines. We keep thinking about selling him, but he keeps getting better and better. but late this Spring he will be available for sale. He's growing well and we think he'll make 16hh like his brother Slim.

Diva (Derwent Re Diva, ASH Reg C1-186062, born 2004)

Diva is a tall, leggy red roan beauty. The move to Victoria in 2003 meant that we had access to different types of stallions so we chose to take Melody to Zimran, the son of the very talented Valuta. Diva was broken in at age 4 and with her stunning movement and soft nature will make a lovely dressage and show jumping competitor. She is now for sale - go to our for sale page for more information.

Flame (Derwent Docs Harmony, ASH Reg ,born 3 September 2002)

We tried something different with Flame, taking her dam Melody to an open campdraft winning son of Docs Freckles Oak (Amosfield Birthday Doc, ASH reg 129110). Flame has developed into a beautiful example of the breed and has won both led and ridden ASH classes.

Slim (Derwent Overture ASH reg 160769 born 28 August 2001 )

Slim was our first foal and is greatly loved. He is the son of the very talented (now deceased) Willandon J Overseer ASH SM 135613 (by Kyabra Abbeys Cattleman) and so carries the bloodlines of Abbey. Slim has grown to a 16 hh sweetie. He excels in our hill country and has plenty of stamina. He's also a keen worker of cattle when he gets the chance. We would consider selling Slim to the right home.
