Rocky Rush 2024

First big challenge for Nero’s Shining Oak and I, we made a few mistakes but overall super happy with our effort

RIP Wannaroo Platinum

Today I laid my beautiful gelding to rest, he was something special. When I first started working with him I hated him, he was just so full of himself, then 12 months later he was my favourite horse. You were one of a kind, a horse with the biggest spirit. Hope there’s plenty of cattle up there ready for you to chase. I’ll miss you, I love you

Kilkivan Campdraft

Nero’s Shining Oak and I received an 81 in the first round of the novice, which then got us into the final. We got a total of 156. Which then got us the highest scoring local lady rider in the novice. So proud of this little horse, only his second year of drafting and showing so much potential for his future

Thankyou to the Kilkivan committee for putting together such an enjoyable Campdraft, sponsors, judges, volunteers and cattle donors.

Nero’s Shining Oak at Goomeri Show Stockmans Challenge

24/03/2024

Had the most amazing opportunity yesterday at Goomeri Show, after my little mare came up lame I was about to scratch my run from the challenge when a beautiful friend of mine offered to let me ride her stallion - Crowned Acres Oak. He is the sire of Nero’s Shining Oak and certainly a favourite of mine.

A huge thankyou to Kathy for letting me ride him, he is one in a million

‘𝑻𝑶 𝑹𝑬𝑷𝑳𝑨𝑪𝑬 𝑨 𝑮𝑶𝑶𝑫 𝑯𝑶𝑹𝑺𝑬’
This was sent to us, not by the author, but by someone who believes ‘Every word of it rings true”.

‘The best horses are built over years of hauling, hard work, tough times, good times, bad times, big spooks, little spooks, their mistakes, our mistakes and continual love and care.

‘No, your breaker can not turn your young prospect into your old faithful in 30, 60, 90, or even 365 days. It takes years.

‘I’m plagued with the problem of trying to impress on people how long it truly takes to build that dream partner. There’s not a smooth paved path. Your green horse will embarrass you, frustrate you, and maybe even hurt you. For some of you, buying a $20,000-$30,000 horse is going to be worth it and SAVE you money. Even that more finished horse will take a year or more to sync up with.

‘Cheap rate for horse training is $1,000 a month.
1 year of training: $12,000
2 years of training: $24,000

‘Many of you won’t believe this but your dream horse is on the other side of two years of training. In reality, it’s likely around two years of training and two years of seasoning (hauling them to town). Will that horse still make mistakes? Yes, they all make mistakes until the day they die. But that horses mistakes probably won’t put you in serious danger and that horse will probably pack your grandkids around.

‘If you’re trying to decide between a $3,500 prospect or a $15,000 proven horse. My advice is to do an internal inventory and figure out what you want. Buying that prospect is like the first roll on the Jumanji board. You’re entered up, get ready for a journey of ups and downs (possibly quite literally!) If you’re buying that finished horse decide what you really want, get ready for a lot of shopping and painfully overpriced sh💩tters. Take a friend or a trainer on this journey with you and try to double your budget (that’s right, 30k). Be smart and buy something OVER 8 years old. Don’t buy that pretty 5 year old they only want 20k for. He isn’t old enough to be proven for you. Lots of horse traders are trying to flip horses, anything under 8 is likely twice as green as he looks in the video. Maturity, both mental and physical will be key when looking for a safe horse.

‘If you want a project and a challenge I’m not hating, that’s what I want in a horse too, so I buy young ones. If you need a safe one, bring lots of money and quit thinking you need a 6 year old. You probably don’t have what it takes to mentally support that 6 year old through new situations.

‘The biggest reason I bring this up is because as folks retire their old faithful they are so far removed from when that horse was green and did dumb stuff. They forgot how tough those two years were back when he was 4-6. They only remember the amazing horse he was when he matured. The 3 year old they just bought is YEARS from filling that horses shoes when it comes to training level and safety level. I see people hate on trainers because the trainer couldn’t make their young horse, “finished” in 90 days. It’s honestly the biggest reason I like taking colts for 30 or 60 days. The expectation is shockingly lower than when I take one for 90 days. It’s weird what people expect from a 90 day start. Most people should commit to sending their young horse out for a full year. Two years would be even better.

‘Green horses do green horse things, don’t blame others for the challenge you bought yourself. Accept the challenge or pay the price for one further along. No matter which path you choose with horses, it’s going to cost you.

First breaker for 2024 - Wannaroo Charlie Brown

01/01/2024

✨2023 Recap✨
I sold two horses to lovely families, bought a new project, broke in two geldings, competed and trained some of the best horses I’ve ever had the privilege of riding. I personally accomplished many small and some big goals. I received fifth in an encouragement event on my old fella, and a fifth on my three year old gelding I bought and broke in the year before. It was his fourth draft and he got an 84 in his first round. I want to thank my wonderful parents for supporting me and taking me to competitions, to my sisters who are always helping me with many small jobs, to committees for running amazing competitions, cattle donors for supplying cattle, and all the sponsors. Here’s to 2024

Wannaroo Platinum working hard in the camp

After a few months break, Nero’s Shining Oak was brought in ready for Biggenden Charity Campdraft. Although the cattle were tough Nero worked his best and proved to be a quality team member. This little gelding has a big future ahead of him

Playing around with one of my older horses

Nero’s second ever run, I purchased this little gelding in October and broke him in and trained him myself so proud of him. Didn’t have much luck over the weekend, but thankyou to everyone who made this happen

Wannaroo Whiskey enjoying his tail scratches

Goldie headed home to her owners recently, I enjoyed breaking in this beautiful filly. She is showing ability to go places in the future. Thankyou Bronwyn for the opportunity to work with your filly.
