Crossrail Farm has a new member of our family! Our new Bull Mastiff Lola can now be found snoozing on the back porch or, true to the Bull Mastiff spirit, eating or sleeping inside the house. Our giant lap dog even joined us to watch the Kentucky Derby, along with the younger members of our family.

We are saddened to announce the passing of one of our beloved ponies. At 31 years of age, we said goodbye to Turlshill Imp. Arriving at Crossrail Farm at the age of 18, Imp gave us three wonderful foals. Crossrail Cassino is a resident stallion at our farm, Crossrail Glass Slippers is the backbone of our school pony string and Crossrail Lady Known as Lou is showing at the coast with her owner Alyssa Tubbs.
Imp joins her previous owner June Osbourne, who passed away last week at the age of 98. Our hearts are with June's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The show season has started off with success. Our riders and ponies have graced the show circuits in Kelowna and Vernon already. Amy and Slippers, Aidan and Sparkles, Rachelle and Sebastian, Laurel and Mia and Calli and Rain have all won ribbons at the various shows. We are excited to see what the rest of the season brings.

Tara Equestrian and Crossrail Farm were excited to welcome a whole group of new riders to our riding academy this year! Our "Fuzzy and Fresh Spring Clinic" had a number of boys and girls, each excited to ride one of Crossrail's fuzzy ponies, making this a true "welsh pony experience". We are still accepting riders for the 2010 season.
