Who knew that Donald Trump could jump?
February started with Trump, Mexicans, show jumping in the cool mist-VIP, new ponies and an exciting day at Wallaby Hill Extravaganza. What could top that?
Alas normality came all too soon with mainstream eventing at Sydney ODE the following weekend. It was capped by the NSW Sports awards where Stuart had been nominated for NSW Athlete of the year with four other finalists.
Wallaby Hill Extravaganza's Eventers versus Show jumpers was fun with the Mexicans (Gemma and Kenya Wilson) holding up Donald (Stuart), who made a quick getaway on Wanda! Chased closely by Gemma on Medusa jumping the Wall (oops fence!)

SYDNEY Eventing at SIEC
Sydney at SIEC is always a great event to start the year, however this one was plagued with severe thunderstorms so there were many holds during Friday and Saturday. Sunday was super, the ground fabulous and all of our new German horses took to their new job superbly.
Wanda won the EvA105 and Elisabeth Brinton's Celebration, one of our new German horses, was third in the 95cm
After a quick exhausting trip to Germany we have chosen some super new horses for our team
Wanda (above) and Leporis (below) at SIEC
The 3 Germans are introduced to Australia's summer!!
We are excited to introduce to you. Leporis, owned by Tinney Eventing, Celebration owned by Elisabeth Brinton and a super four year old, Diabolo owned by Tim Game and Karen Tinney. Diabolo will have some time in the dressage ring (hopefully!) with Karen and competed by Gemma.
A clear show jumping round for Leporis at SIEC
Topping our month was the NSW Sports Award with Stuart nominated alongside some of the best athletes in NSW. An honour to be nominated, however not the winner (sad face)
Just a reminder that CopRice has brand new packaging for their NutriRice range, same great product with a new look - ALL our horses are fed CopRice feeds.
