Season 2005/2006

The Ultimate Showcase 2006

We swore that Toowoomba would be the end of our 2005/6 show season. But ........

The Toowoomba team fronted up at Werribee on the Friday for the Ultimate Showcase.  They were ready, travelled well and hey, it's what we do.

It turned out to be a worthwhile trip with the following results achieved.

Australian Championships 2006

It was a big decision to travel to Toowoomba but generous friends always make all the difference.  A huge thank you must go to Ian & Deb Watson of Moondarra Arabians.  They opened both their house and their barn in the week leading up to the show, allowing us and the horses to relax and recover from the long and bumpy trip.  Knowing the horses were safe and secure also allowed us to socialise and see a lot of our friends which made the trip even more worthwhile.

We headed up to the showgrounds on the Tuesday afternoon where we met with the small but strong Victorian contingent.  It was great to spend time with our fellow Victorians and to strengthen aquaintances into friendships.

Our team consisted of 4 horses Cedarwood Lodge Kumait, D'Amors Abdulla, D'Amors Jewel In The Crown & D'Amors Montoyaa Shaklan (owned by Debbie Haige).  All travelled well and although still a little tired come competition, they performed well achieving the following results.

D'Amors Abdulla - Top 10 Senior Stallion                                                                                 Cedarwood Lodge Kumait - Reserve Champion Ridden Purebred Stallion                            Cedarwood Lodge Kumait - Top 10 Purebred Elementary Dressage                                    Cedarwood Lodge Kumait - Top 10 Purebred Novice Dressage

Both D'Amors Jewel In The Crown & D'Amors Montoyaa Shaklan progressed to the finals but finished just outside the placings.

Congratulations to Debbie Haige who showed Montoyaa for the first time ever in her AOH class where they both did really well, especially considering they had met only 4 times prior to the show. They finished just outside the placings but certainly showed the potential to be very competitive in the future.

Toowoomba was a beautiful venue and the show a credit to those who ran it.  No one can expect a show of this magnitude to run in a new venue without some teething problems, and there were some glitches but they were generally handled really well.

As there were no stables at this show we decided to leave Cedarwood Lodge Kumait at home, as showing 2 stallions from the float with 2 mares becomes a logistical nightmare!  A big thank you to Karen Carr for allowing Kristin to ride Dara Park Kyron.  At only his 3rd show under saddle, he placed second in the overall versatile award.  A fantastic  achievement for such a young and inexperienced horse.

Congratulations also go to Sarah Heaney and Jesris Spark for their Reserve Champion Junior Handler.
