GrandView Momentum (Mink) goes to his new home
Rather a double edged sword that Mink has gone to his new home. He is such a fun horse to have around…and it now leaves me without a horse to go eventing..! On the up side….the lovely young rider Suzanna Koch has bought herself a really lovely horse. I knew from the moment she jumped on him in our arena that she was going to do well with this horse….she time and time again had Mink gee’d up to produce his big trot..! Very much looking forward to seeing Suzanna out and about on...

September clinic and Tara and I headed back over to Jamies for another week clinic. This time we both did a convoy and took 2 horses each. Both Mink and Shooter jumped very well. Shooter obviously was the superstar but Mink also proved that he has a pretty good jump in him as...
Read MoreBoot camp with Yona Lloyd
Tara and I headed to Victoria yet again…..this time it was for Werribee Horse Trials….but we stopped off at Yona Lloyd’s place on the way to do some tune up boot camp with the horses. It blew an absolute gale for all but one day of the while time we were there…but thankfully no rain like our previous visit to Ballarat. Yona had us tuned up and humming along in no time flat….it was a lot of hard work but one heck of a lot of fun. Highly recommend Yona for coaching in any of the eventing...

Tara and I on the road again to Victoria….and yes it has been commented that maybe we have moved there…but no, we just keep going back…this time to Seymour where we spent the week training with Jamie Coman. What an inspiration this man is…! Tara and I had one heck of a week with Jamie….learnt a lot….and have lots to work on. Made me realise what a fabulous horse that I really do have….I kind of already knew that anyway. Shooter absolutely jumped his socks off and produced some just incredible work. The start of an amazing...
Read MoreDrenched in the downpour at Ballarat Horse Trials
Another trip east for Tara Fuller and myself with the golden kids. It started raining just as we left on Thursday….and did not stop until late Friday night….guess which day I had to ride…Yep…Friday…! We saddled Mink on the float…..got soaked warming up and rode in the torrential rain…as you can see from the photos…and put Mink straight back on the float afterwards. To his credit he did a beautiful test and was VERY happy to be on the float in the dry with his hay bag. Just went and got our clothes dried out…Tara was as wet as I was as she...
