Vale Affectionoble (Pixi). (Noble TKO) Our beautiful old girl passed away in her sleep in the cavalcade bale today. We knew the end was coming and we are grateful she passed on her own in relative peace. She left this world in her usual fashion, quietly and without fuss.
She absolutely hated the NT from the outset. She ate more feed than any TB and weighed less. She swam in every trough and dam and broke more float valves than anyone else. But she was loved. She nannied the foals and she as a firm voice with the young stallions.
She retired from beeeding duties and just provided companionship and love in her twilight years.
Thanks for the memories. I’m sure heaven has a shady tree, a deep dam and a concrete veranda to s**t on. RIP Pixi❤️

Think the stallions are feeling well after coming in for a fly treatment. Obviously, they are dirty, sun-bleached, and feral after a very rough wet season. But if the weather cools down in the next couple of weeks, they will get bathed and rugs on.

Website Update

Our website started in 2009 and has nearly died of old age. So, in the month of April, we will not have a website as it is undergoing a full rebuild.
We will then be showcasing the available horses and mules, and also updating our breeding plans.

Many people are wondering when we will announce breeding, but we don't breed according to calendar timetables. We time our breeding season for optimal animal health. The recent wet season would have seen many losses and worse-than-usual health conditions. There's no need to stress our mares out like that. We are actively working to avoid having our horses' highest metabolic load clash with the build-up heat and the monsoon rain.

Currently, the farm that has yards on it has had the worst of the wet season, with the access road washed out and very little fencing standing, and the whole place is a swamp of deep mud. The horses are not there. We have moved them to a high 500-acre paddock for the season, and we will bring them back in and sort them out in another month or so. So inspections and viewings will not be happening anytime soon.

🌧️ Red Rocks Stud Update: Wet Season Challenges & Late Start to 2026 🐴

It’s been an exceptionally tough wet across the Top End, and like many properties, Red Rocks Stud has taken a real hit. Weeks of relentless rain have left our paddocks waterlogged, access roads cut, and the yards sitting under deep, boot‑sucking mud.

Our horses have also kept us busy. This season we’ve managed:
- Eye injuries, and infections
- Deep lacerations from a yearling being chased through a fence by wild (or local) dogs.
- Rain scald flare‑ups
- Some tender feet from weeks of rain and wet conditions.
- Never-ending clouds of flies, midgies and mozzies

All of which are being treated and are healing well. The team has been working around the clock to keep everyone comfortable, dry, and recovering safely.

Because of the conditions, all horses are currently turned out on higher ground where they can move freely and stay out of the bog. With the property inaccessible and the yards unusable, we’ll be having a late start to the season, and unfortunately won’t have horses available for viewing for the time being.

We know many of you have been waiting to view stock, and we appreciate your patience while we navigate the mud, the weather, and the recovery process. The well-being of our equines always comes first, and we’ll reopen for viewings as soon as the ground allows.

Thank you for sticking with us through this wild NT wet. We’ll keep you updated as things dry out and the team, two‑legged and four‑legged, gets back on track.
