A slightly delayed Sydney 3DE post from Christine Bates Eventing.

Firstly a massive thanks to the organisers, sponsors and volunteers of yet another great event.
Equus Hugo owned by Patrick & Louise Horsley and Thea Horsley competed in the CCI4*L to finish in 7th.
Bloomfield Findon owned by Nicky Rockwell competed in the CCI3*L to lead from start to finish and also won the 7/8 Young Event horse.
I couldn’t have been prouder of both these horses performances considering neither were qualified back in September They had a pretty full on 2 months to get qualified and be fit enough to be competitive at Sydney. So thank you Hugo & Finn for giving 110%.

Thanks to my team of helpers who made it even possible to be at Sydney competing William Bates who helped school and groom both horses in the lead up. My new working pupil Olivia Fenton. Charlotte Millo who helped groom at Sydney whilst competing herself. Liana Almond who helped keep things running at home.
To my sponsors who have been long time supporters

To my family Wendy MacLeod & John MacLeod for your unwavering support. William Bates for everything that you do for me.

To my amazing friends that I couldn’t have done any of this without your support.

A great way to end the season and say goodbye to 2024.

Looking for the following horse for an overseas client.

1*/2* Experienced Eventer to compete at the SEA Games December 2025 which will be at 1* level.

Will need to be competitive in all three phases.

Prefer gelding, 16 - 17hh, any breed considered prefer under the age of 12years.

Rider has previously competed at 1* level in Australia.

Rider and horse will train with myself in NSW in preparation for the Games.

Ideally looking for a horse we could lease during 2025 and then take to Thailand for the Games and then return to Australia.
Otherwise looking to buy.

Please either email Christine
[email protected]
Or WhatsApp 0413 046 041

Horses information, Compeition record and video in all three phases.
