Our Show Team
The Horses
We show whoever has nothing better to do and is of suitable breed, education and temprement for the proposed show so we may pull any horse from the paddock for a show at any time. However we currently show Dunsplashin Chico Little & our young daughter will try her hand at showing Saddleveiw Acacia Portabella.
The Handlers
We pride ourselves on our Do It Yourself attitude therefore we do all our own show prep and actual showing, however as we have more horses than hands we have gladly allowed family and friends who visit and ride our horses often to start taking them to some shows for the fun and expereince as they are total beginners. We also hope that in 2009/10 our daughter Tamara will get out with Bella and some guidance from mum and dad to "have a go" at some led classes which we highly encourage.
Shows/Events to come!!
