I first saw Nerina as a yearling filly winning at the Victorian All Welsh Show and fell in love. She was out of my price range and was purchased by the late Greg Higgins. I continued to admire Nerina and would always gravitate to her in Greg's paddock of beautiful Section A mares. When the Victorian grass became too much for her she came home to me at the beginning of 1994. Nerina had bred three colts for Greg before losing her foal in 1993. She subsequently aborted her 1994 foal and lost her 1995 foal with a presentation so bad that it took two Vets over an hour to extract it. She was not served in 1995 but then proceded to have another four foals in a row without incident before developing Cushings Disease.
