An outstanding result for Heathmont Furst Dancer winning both novice tests at the recent Dressage NSW competition with all four judges scoring him above 70%.
A huge thank you to Jody Pockran for allowing me the privilege of competing with “Flipper” whilst she recovers from a shoulder injury. He really was a pleasure to show and his excellent scores are a testament to the well established basics she has instilled.

Gaining confidence with every outing Dreamstruk HBA competed successfully at the recent Dressage NSW competition at Clarendon. At only his third event he behaved himself perfectly and was a pleasure to show in every way. Bailey has reluctantly been offered for sale as he has grown far too big for his owner/breeder and offers a great opportunity for a rider with the knowledge and experience required to develop a quality young horse.

I recently had the wonderful privilege to see some beautiful horses and talented riders when given the honour of officiating at the 2024 Show Horse Council Queensland, Sanden Equestrian HOTY.
The weather could not have been more perfect, and it was a lovely opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.
I’m happy to say the standard of competition was outstanding and the presentation of the horses world class. It will be a thrill to see the winning combinations competing at next year’s Grand National.
Here I am pictured with my fellow judges, (L to R) Melanie Skinner, Margie Burrows, myself and George Howe. It was a pleasure to judge with three such incredibly knowledgeable horse people.
Congratulations to the committee for organising such an efficiently run event and a huge thank you to Leanne McDowell for her wonderful hospitality and for taking such good care of us over the weekend.

A big congratulations to Emilie Wood on the success of her stunning hack Sidney Central as he takes out the Newcomer Large Hack at the Bare Equestrian NSW HOTY. He topped of a great day by also winning the Preliminary Large Hack as well. He’s had a phenomenal year so far and will now have a few weeks off for some well deserved R&R.
A huge thank you to Bare Equestrian for sponsoring the event and to Equestrian NSW for a superbly run show.

Going from strength to strength, Sidney Central puts in another reliable performance to win Reserve Champion Large Hack at Penrith Show. Along the way he won the Newcomer, the Intermediate and his open height class. What a fantastic result for a horse in his first year of showing. I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Dreamstruk HBA knows how to make a splash. Coping really well with the boggy conditions he continues to improve with every competition. He’s pictured here competing at the recent Sugarloaf Dressage competition at SIEC. Despite the puddles and a loose horse galloping past he managed to stay relatively focused and put in one of his best performances. Well done Bailey…

Dreamstruk HBA putting his best foot forward at the recent Hawkesbury Dressage Festival. At 4 years old he’s still such a baby but he’s coming along steadily, building strength and balance with every competition. Competing in his first Open classes he posted some very respectable scores above 65% which will improve even more as he gains confidence and experience. A big thank you to owners Robyn and Duncan from Hunter Horseboxes Australia as we look forward to an exciting 5 year old season for Bailey.

Congratulations to Robyn Stones and Duncan Knight for the success of their youngster Dreamstruk HBA who achieved a qualifying score of 73.2% for the CDI 4 Year Old class at the recent Dressage NSW competition at Clarendon. Bailey was bred by Robyn and Duncan who certainly had a proud parent moment as he took everything in his stride and showed some really lovely moments during his test. Although obviously still just a baby he looks to have an exciting future ahead of him.

Sidney Central continues his winning form taking out his first Champion Hack at Wyong Show. Although he's still fairly green and still needs a bit more condition, his steady temperament and mistake free workouts were enough to carry him through.

Congratulations to his owner Emilie Wood and a massive thank you to his adoring strapper Debbie. I couldn't do any of this without you Deb, I'm forever grateful.
