After a rather full month in March, we are all excited about the consumption of CHOCOLATE!! With no guilt attached.. just pure pleasure!! This is the reward for the busy times recently.First we had Scone with Pluto, Gosh, Thai and Gymeon. We were pleased with all, especially Thai with his win in the pre-novice section (Stuart riding Thai below and Gymeon above)
Then it was off to Albury.. What a drive that is! We had a full truck plus the big guns on board. In the dressage Panamera did a very pleasing test to be 2nd just behind Tim Boland and the wonderful Billy Elliot. Pluto was not too far behind in 5th position. We decided to withdraw Panamera after she had been harbouring (we think) a virus. With a high temp on the Sunday and a little off, we withdrew her (that’s horses). Pluto ran a double clear to come 3rd and Thai, Gosh and Annapurna all placed in their classes.

It seems like the Olympic fever is upon us with lots of publicity this year for Equestrian (maybe due to our amazing Australian show jumper Edwina Alexander and her successes)
Invasion of the jumping arena at home by Channel Nine
Channel 9 bounced in a few weeks ago and spent 6 hours running footage for an Olympic advert..... which only took 10 trucks, 40 operations staff and one ‘white’ horse (pre requisite... thankfully we had one that could jump 1.45m). Stay tuned as you should be able to see it on Channel 9 this month. Thanks to the EA and their publicity team.
