Gemma dressed in camouflage at Wallaby Hill and Stuart sporting his holiday beard
Welcome to our first news for the 2016 season
Holidays, schoolies, skiing (then came the beard!) and now horse riding
With the holiday season over we have spent the last four weeks helping our 4-legged friends return to fitness (as well as us) for the 2016 season. It was great news to have John and Jane Pittard’s Pluto Mio remain on the Elite list for Rio and Corinna and Darren Huskinson's War Hawk was also there with him - the two greys! Hmmm, I see a lot of Purple Shampoo being used again this year (thank you Horseland) while Stuart remaining on the Equestrian Australia Gold list is always a bonus and inspiring for the team.
We would like to welcome Jennifer Bale to TE for the 2016 season as our competition groom, plus Gemma, looking like she will enter the fold of TE with some new rides and a hectic competition schedule involving eventing and show jumping.
The first event of the season was the spectacular Wallaby Hill Extravaganza. We take our hats off to Alex, Derek the WH Team and OC who have lifted the sport to a whole new level. It was a great day, great people and great fun! A BIG THANK YOU
Stuart rode Rachael Lee's Cobra de Capello for second place in the Wallaby Hill Extravaganza, Rachael also placed fourth on her fabulous grey Urodel du Texier (pictured below) and Gemma took fifth place

The start of the 2016 season heats up
The plan for the first part of 2016 is to concentrate on the horses that could possibly represent Australia at the Rio Olympic Games. We have Pluto and War Hawk at the fore but Queen Mary and Carlchen are certainly showing great promise as top level horses too. The lower level horses will be competed at their appropriate level by Stuart or Gemma.
