2006 and another year has just flown straight past as
seems like only yesterday we were here doing the same
thing… this year Decron was welcomed aboard as the
naming right sponsors and welcomed they were, they have
a nifty must have in your stable Hoof Care Kit which any
good horse person knows the hassle of treating hoof
ailments and taking shares in the gaffa tape industry is
not funny, so make sure you check this product out you
will be suitably impressed! then of course the very much
faithful sponsors all of which make this event available
to those competiting and to those admiring to one day be
here competing at. See below for the full
list of sponsors. |

The committee
under the new head chief Peter Gardiner had the show running as
smooth as, Pam Davey stepped down but left everything in such a way
Peter picked up the reins and the event ran like clock work,
committee workers have just got it so in-hand now and the event
management support... five stars to Jam Smith this lady works
incredibly hard behind the scene, we should also take time out to
say 'thanks Jan' you do a superb job with these events and of course
all the ground crew who worked tirelessly over the 2 days. |

Leading Rein
Well
what a highlight for welsh breeders when the lovely Tarragon
Gabrielle 'Welsh A' pictured opposite took the broad sash,
this delightful pony kept a calm mind in the big arena to
work ever so sweetly for her young jockey, to say picture
perfect would about sum it right up.
The
field of leading rein ponies was strong but sadly some were
over whelmed when they hit the indoors. The runner up
Vic Flowerdale Victor
was ridden by
Grace Hill,
and this was another sweet combination to watch going. |

The Show Hunter Ponies –small
as per the normal the smaller the jockey the more
gun-ho they were about showing what their pony could
do, even though the ages were quite young of these
junior riders they have the most professional approach
and not for a minute do they let their guard down with
lots of ring craft thrown in.
The competition across the board with the smaller ponies
was fairly even. The eventual winner was a polished and
smooth performance by Elliot Patterson QLD Craigston
Mirra Charm ridden by Laura Allen Ducat, runner up
Sharon Jarvis WA Bandeeka Ffanci ridden by Madeleine
McAvaney. |

 The
Show Hunter Pony - Large
General
observation... there was a small percentage of 'fast'
work going on, perhaps many were over awed by the
indoors but it was a shame as there was some lovely
animals that would have looked more pleasing to the eye
if they were actually using that extra energy to work
from behind and into the bit
[easy to say when fence sitting of course]
but on the whole there was no doubt why any of these
ponies where here, the are all champions…
The large show hunter pony was
won by
Belaradah Fantasia
of Vic pictured opposite
ridden by Lisa Kellock, runner up
was
Tiffany Bignold NSW Glo-Brook Legend,
the scores show these two ponies as equal, as both
had received a 1st and 2nd
placing, after discussions the awards were placed as
above. |
