Merredin 120km was a terrific warm-up for the TQ! Many thanks to the WERI team for hosting another excellent ride. We started at midnight alongside the 160km riders, which was great practice for us to get into the mode of night-time riding.

Norbert Radny and Pembrooke Park Royalty (Max) line honours, 1st HWT and BC in the 120km. Max was a powerhouse the whole day and enjoyed his new fashion accessory - a bonnet! He was the most relaxed he has ever been at base and on course. Max thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Bec A M Rad and West Coast Kia (Kia) line honours, 1st LWT and BC in the 120km. This was Kia's first ride with more than 3 legs and she took to the challenge stoically. It was also her first ridden workout for BC- where she nearly launched into the sky in her hand-gallop!

Jane Radny and Steel Poppy Regent (Reg) completed 80km and then chose to withdraw as Reg was not recovering as perfectly as he normally does despite feeling magnificent out on track.

Thank you to the volunteers who worked around the clock in the chilly night-time temps and the warm day, to sponsors for supporting the event, and again to the WERI team!

Thank you to Vince and Judy from Down Under Images for the gorgeous photos!

Thank you Vince and Judy Evans from DownUnder Images for taking the photos from Bakers Hill Endurance Ride. The horses felt amazing throughout the day. Very proud of them and it was great to practice VGIH ( even without strappers!).

A good fun weekend at the WAERA State Championships hosted by the Wheatbelt Endurance Riders Inc at Bakers Hill this weekend.

Bec & West Coast Kia (Kia): 1st LWT and BC LWT
Jane & Steel Poppy Regent (Reg): 2nd MWT and BC MWT
Norb & Pembrooke Park Royalty (Max): 1st HWT and BC HWT.

We took the ‘A’ team to ride in the 80km. We weren’t sure what we would be faced with track wise as the area had received over 130ml of rain in the week leading up to the ride! Areas were certainly saturated and we had to go slowly through multiple boggy sections and overflowed dams, but there were areas where we could go along!

The team ate up the course and relished the company of riders Leigh and Shirley on the second leg. They presented for BC this morning looking strong, fit and bright as buttons!

A huge thank you to the ride organisers for going above and beyond, and to the sponsors and volunteers for making the event possible. A special thank you to Darren for allowing us to camp on and ride through your property.

Bring on the Tom Quilty!

Kia thinks the scratches at the end of the ride are worth the effort of going on the ride in the first place!

27/06/2021

We forgot to add to the last post that, at Allanson, Jane achieved her 15 000 km of successful completions.

"Thank you to my most wonderful horses (some still with us and others who we have tearfully farewelled). especially Inez Al Nimir +CH ( the magnificent "Tiger" over 5000km ), Arbour Grange Shalifa (2970km) , West Coast Natanya (2700km) and, Steel Poppy Regent (3500km) . In addition , I have completed almost 2000km of Intermediate and social rides as well and goodness knows how many km of training' out the back'."

4/4 at the inaugural EqCetera Charity Endurance Ride in Harvey!

Buddy & Norb: =1st MWT and BC
The standout of the ride was definitely Jest a Golden Gift (Buddy) ridden by Norbert Radny. Buddy is now QUALIFIED. Buddy has come a long way since the beginning of his endurance career 2 years ago... not a bad effort coming =1st MWT and getting the Best Conditioned award for your qualifying ride- a sensational effort. Buddy led the team powerfully around the second leg to complete it faster than the first loop.The ride was technical- whilst comparatively flat to other rides, the terrain varied throughout from deep sand, to road, and pine forests tracks. Buddy flew around his BC trot - he looked loose, athletic and full of power with his big extended action.

Kibby & Jane: =1st MWT
Cabrillas Heir (Kibby) and Jane Radny finished the ride with straight As and 1s. The little pocket rocket kept up with Buddy’s 17kmh trot the whole way round. A well deserved =1st MWT across the line. Kibby did a great BC trot - he certain knows how to strut his stuff in the vet ring.

Kia & Bec: 6th LWT
West Coast Kia (Statuesque x WEST COAST ACHARON) and Bec A M Rad rode alongside Jane and Norb for 6th LWT. Kia’s growing maturity shone this weekend as she stormed through the first leg, leading the team much of the way. We have been really working on getting Kia to be a more confident leader and she took it in her stride. Kia’s “cowaphobia” was proven to be overcome as she was comfortable camping across from and riding alongside cow-laden paddocks. The only bump in the road was passing a cow truck filled with the mooing menaces on a narrow road!! Kia finished on straight As and 1s and had an average HR of 37.

Gecko & Cara: =7 MWT
A massive thank you to Cara Allan for piloting Wattle Tree Echo (Gecko) around his 2nd 80km. Cara said Gecko was boring- what we like to hear! He never stopped eating and drinking, and he trotted up like a pro.

A massive thank you to the event organisers, volunteers, and sponsors. What a terrific inaugural event and support of a great cause.

Special thank yous go to Tora Arabians (Julia Lockwood) and JLV Industries for sponsoring the 1st MWT prizes of deck chairs, and to South West Floats (Mike Wood) for sponsoring the MWT BC rug. Thank you both for your continued support of endurance in WA- it is much appreciated.

The physical work season has finished... and the brain work season has begun!

Max and Kia tackled parts of the Baldivis Equestrian Playground today- Lisa was a brilliant guide. A fantastic way for our endurance horses to gain more independence and trust in their human.

We will be back to tackle the tyres next time!

More photos in comments!

An eventful end to the Endurance season...starting with an 8 hour journey for our horses who endured 2 blown tyres on the truck when we were only 1km from the ride venue in Denmark. A huge thank you to Lisa, Pete and Sarah who came running to the rescue, also Vince for the essential beer drop off! A special thanks to Albany Tyrepower for their assistance. So much for wanting to arrive refreshed and in holiday mode!

Our horses did a fantastic job dealing with the heat and humidity during the 80km and all finished successfully. The idyllic photos of riding on the beach became a distant hope...when our horses decided that the beach was a terrifying place and wouldn't have a bar of it! They did, however, triumphantly cross two rickety wooden bridges. Highlights include:

West Coast Kia and Bec received the R/U Best Managed Horse award! Kia finished on straight A's and 42 HR for both legs.

We were very happy to have Comine ride with us- her first (of many we hope!) Endurance rides on Australian soil. Comine did a superb job looking after a very fit Max.

Another highlight of the event was Norb notching up his 17,000km!

Thank you to event organisers and volunteers for a fantastic event. Thank you to Vince and Judy from Down Under Images for the beautiful photos attached.

West Coast Kia (West Coast Acharon x Statuesque) became a pole dancer today! A great clinic with Vanessa Hancox held at the WA State Equestrian Centre. Kia’s first time over poles and she didn’t bat an eyelid. Lots of interesting pole moves were learnt and we can’t wait to try them out at home.

West Coast Kia. Bred for...athleticism?

Max Feeling Good!

A video of Pembrooke Park Royalty yesterday feeling amazing after riding 160km on the weekend. Unfortunately, he was vetted out at the very end with mild hind lameness. A terrific effort for a young horse regardless - and he has pulled up 100%!

Some dressage-worthy hock action there West Coast Kia (West Coast Acharon x Statuesque) 😍

Coaching by Correspondence!

Buddy is now a Distance Education pupil with flatwork trainer (Bec) giving Norb (rider) and Buddy instruction via text!! Bec (who studies in Melbourne) receives videos of Buddy training and responds with instructions via text. With the endurance season slowly winding to a close, it is time to focus on the younger horses who will debut next year!

Sensational result for our horses at Dryandra this weekend. The West Coast stables had 5 horses entered this weekend and finished up with 5 successful completions as well as icing on the cake placings! The three 120km horses completed the ride in just over 8 hours after their first nighttime start . Kia and Bec: the 120km yesterday was Kia’s second ride out of novice and 40km further than she had ever gone before. She absolutely smashed it- the video clip is of her leading the herd 3km from home on the last leg! She really stood up to the challenge and showed she was more than ready for the step up in distance- her HRs were consistently low and she was bouncing around this morning. Definitely her Daddy’s daughter! Regent and Jane: the ever dependable Reg had his first attempt at a 120km and led most of the way, looking after his stable buddies. Reg and Jane placed 2nd LWT- a good leg up ride to the State Champs! Ella and Norb: the 120km was Ella’s first ride over the 90km mark and she ate up the distance! Together they placed 1st HWT and received another Best Condition award- champion little horse. In the 80km there were two chestnuts from our stables who rode around very nicely together to both complete the ride. Max and Cassie: Max is now qualified!! 🎉🎉 thank you so much to Cassie for rising to the challenge of riding your first 80km- you did an awesome job. To top it off, they came =2nd MWT! Monty and Kylie: they chaperoned Max around the 80km and did an awesome job earning the joint =2nd MWT and 2nd in the BC! Welcome back Monty! Thank you to the ride organisers, volunteers and sponsors for putting on a lovely weekend.

Margaret River bound for the last ride of the year! Ella will be doing her first Open 80km alongside Reg, and Max will be doing his first 80km. Hoping for a strong finish to a fantastic year for our very special horses.

Our roo friend has returned! I think he/she wants to be our pet?
