Warrenbri Ellie, owned by Madonna. Sired by Warrenbri Roman Oak and out of Warrenbri Georgina (Blue Moon Mystic X Warrebri Romeo).
Warrenbri Ellie was bought off Simon and Bridget Knight, in April 2005, as a green broke 2 year old mare. Due to my school commitments Warrenbri Ellie was only used for mustering on school holidays for about 2 ½ years. During that time Warrenbri Ellie was a real pleasure to have around and was showing great potential. Despite all set backs and delays, it took Warrenbri Ellie no time at all to be ready for her first year of competition in 2008, as a 5 year old. Warrenbri Ellie’s quick learning ability was all thanks to her bloodlines which blessed her with, wonderful conformation, an intelligent, trainable temperament, natural athletic ability and loads of cattle sense. 2008 unfolded as an exciting and eventful year beginning at Mitchell Campdraft in March, where Warrenbri Ellie scored a 79 and 82 in her only two runs of the weekend. Warrenbri Ellie continued to improve, making it into the Novice Finals at Injune, on an 89 and scoring an 86 in the finals. She also run-off a 24 cut out and got 23 in the run-off. Warrenbri Ellie then went on to prove how versatile she really is, placing 3rd in the ASH Lead, 1st in the ASH Hack and also taking out the Working Horse Class at the Mitchell Show. Warrenbri Ellie also competed successfully in a Working Horse Challenge and Two-handed cutting. All of this success was achieved within the first six months of competition, and it simply demonstrates that Warrenbri Ellie could excel in any discipline.
Warrenbri Ellie is a magnificent young mare with a big future, and it is an absolute privilege to own such a tremendous mare.
