Congratulations to Dianne Mew and her horse Willows Treasure (aka Whippy) for some outstanding placings - from her first saddling 2 years ago to now, this mare has proven to be smart, trainable and with an outstanding temperament. It's been my absolute pleasure to start, train and show this horse 🙏❤️
A huge goes to the Ranch Horse Association of Australia Inc for putting on a great show with a fantastic (and affordable!) cattle program and a great atmosphere - I've just loved showing this week and it's a testimony to both the Show Team and my fellow competitors!
goes to all my fellow competitors, place getters and Champions! Everyone I've met has been kind, gracious, excellently prepared and a good laugh to boot.
I'd also like to thank Double Dan Horsemanship and Marsh Carney for their generous class sponsorship - we do it for the love of it, but I sure don't complain about taking a bit of 💰 home either 🤠
Another highlight of the show was to show under Bozo Rogers - as the sport of Ranch grows in Australia, it's always great to get an insight into judging from the US.
Finally, my gratitude goes to my husband and main supporter, Brendan Newell, for making sure we were well set up to travel, for staying home to look after the horses, cattle, dogs and cats and for always believing in my stupid stupid dreams. Without you, none of this would be possible ❤️
