CCF Savusavu | Cross Creek Farms Inc.

Last year we said we had ‘more waiting in the wings’ and indeed we did. Horse of the Year standings are now posted and Cross Creek Farms has several CCF-bred champions on the list!

Competing in the young jumper division in 2017:

CCF Hibiscus Coast (Durango La Silla – CCF Fisher King) finished as USHJA Zone 8 Horse of the Year Champion for the 6-year-old Young Jumper division, repeating her success as a 5-year-old last year. Biscuit also placed eighth in the nation. ‘Biscuit’ has her own little bank account, since she was especially competitive in the money classes – taking home the blue in multiple 6-year-old classics throughout the season.

CCF Savusavu (Ocean I – Andiamo) took USHJA Zone 8 Reserve Champion right behind his stablemate. This youngster is really starting to come into his own – we look forward to his continuing development in 2018.

CCF Yasur (Ocean I – Andiamo) completed the year as USHJA Zone 8 Champion for the 7-year-old Young Jumper division, adding to his unbroken record of Zone 8 young jumper championships as a 5-year-old in 2015 and 6-year-old in 2016.

And in the young hunter division in 2017:

CCF Solomon Sea (Solomon’s Mines – CCF Fisher King) was USHJA Zone 8 Champion for the Young Hunters 3’0″ and also fourth in the nation. ‘Solito’ has recently been sold and we wish him continued winning ways in his new home.

At Cross Creek Farms we believe in broodmares that are proven performance horses. Our lovely KWPN keur mare Nouska (Julio Mariner/Voltaire) was a feisty competitor in the Grand Prix ring with multiple placings and a $25,000 win during the 2007 Arizona Winter Circuit. Following her show career, she produced six lovely youngsters for us. The oldest, CCF Savusavu by Ocean I (South Pacific/Ramzes), is competing as a six-year-old in the Young Jumpers division in California. Next in line are four Clintord I (Clinton/Caletto I) offspring – CCF Coral Sea (2013), CCF Galactica II (2014), CCF Clear Sailing (2015) and CCF Culebra (2016). This year she has a brand new, very elegant filly sired by Durango La Silla (Darco/Chin Chin).

At 22 years of age, Nouska still has the looks of a ten-year-old, but we do think it’s time to retire her while we’re on a winning streak. When baby April is weaned, Nouska will enjoy the rest of her days at Cross Creek Farms in Tucson.
