'Life is always a rosebed with an American Saddlebred' - Rosemary Howe

Bannister American Saddlebred Horse News

Due to changed personal circumstances, Rosemary Howe (formerly Rosemary Mackay) has moved her beautiful herd of American Saddlebred horses (purebreds and partbreds) to the magnificent Bannister Springs dedicated horse property belonging to Charley Barber.  You will find further information about Charley by clicking on the 'About us' button at left.

Tim Lindsay-Field, Vincent Field Bloodstock (www.vincentfieldbloodstock.com.au) moved Rosemary's horses from The Elms, Gundaroo, NSW, to Bannister Springs, and thanks to Charley, Rosemary and Tim, neither the horses nor Tim missed a beat.  It was as though all the horses had been on big luxury lorries all of their lives, instead of some, for the first time in their lives.  Rosemary is forever grateful to Tim and Charley for ensuring the horses travelled safe and sound.

At this point in time Rosemary and Charley have ceased breeding preferring to concentrate on training in hand and under saddle the American Saddlebred purebred and partbred youngsters.

Charlie and Jimmy, who are half brothers are almost a perfect pair with similar markings. 

So let's all watch their future career with great interest!
