COVES Quarter Horses

Home of CJ TO A TE


(Evie at 12 months old)

We purchased Evie from Ellron Quarter Horse Stud in South Australia. She was stranded down south due to the EI crisis so we utilised this time & had her transported to Victoria. She has been broken in by Bruce O'Dell & is now residing at Ian Stringer's Training Stables where she has commenced her "dancing with cattle" career.

EXCITING NEWS! Ian is going to use Evie as a turnback horse at the NCHA Cutting Futurity which is at Toowoomba in September 2008- We will then bring her home!

Evie's Sire is Time to Concent (dec). He was a World Qualifier & also Supreme Exhibit at the Sydney Royal Show aswell as Grand Champion Stallion of Australia. A stunning black QH Stallion who's career was sadly cut short. He received AQHA Register of Merit Award for Halter in 2001 & was awarded Superior Halter Horse in 2002.
