R.I.P.  ANANSA

I just can't believe that this amazing mare has been laid to rest.

It has been a very sad couple of months for Team Dreamtime.

Sired by El Zayib Hastar,

out of TB mare November Special.

Bred by Jean Pratten.

Cherished by her owner Val De Santa-ana and all who knew her.

It was always our dream to breed two of our favourite horses - Anansa & Gumbanero.

We hoped to breed one last foal from Anansa with Gumbanero's frozen semen but sadly that was not to be.

Anansa had a hugely succesful show career, both led and ridden.

She achieved Champions and Supremes at the highest levels, both in the arabian show world and also in the open rings.

Admired by all !

A true show horse in every aspect !!!

_______________________________________________________

Just some of the quotes from Judges during Anansa's show career:

"ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ANGLO MARES EVER!"

"ABSOLUTELY WORLD CLASS"

"THIS MARE WOULD HOLD HER OWN IN ANY COMPETITION, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD"

"IS SHE FOR SALE?"

(the answer was always NO!)

____________________________________________________________

She now joins Gumbanero & her son Dreamtime Destiny in that peaceful green paddock in heaven.

She has been such a huge part of

"Team Dreamtime" and our

dreams will live on through her son -

Dreamtime Above & Beyond.

Thankyou Anansa,

it has been a privilege

to be a part of your life.

You will be remembered always.

Rest in peace beautiful mare

till we meet again.

the VERY SPECIAL

Dreamtime Above & Beyond

with his favourite person

(who is the person he owns!)
