I left in November and headed to Belgium and went to a stable that you dream about. "la Fazenda" the home of Johan, Penny, Thalia and Alexander Rockx. I had xmas and my 18th there, saw some of the best stallions in the world , met and saw the best in the business and at the end of my trip I rode in local competitions in Belgium and Holland needless to say I am heading back in August.
I landed on Thursday and was riding at the Andalusian National Champs on the Friday. Geminisa wondered what struck her and then got down to the business and landed some great results.
The main horses were kept in work by Mum, David and Lyn and although a little underdone 4 went to the YR Festival 4 weeks after i got back. All 4 performed well, Arcanell Isle gave me my first look at the FEI Junior with a 3rd in the individual and freestyles and a win on the final day in the Elementary F/s. He has backed it up with solid open scores since and is going very nicely in Medium.
The Young Ambassador weekend was possible the best weekend I have ever had. Making the top 10 and being part of that dressage group was amazing. When i didnt think it could get much better I went through to the top 3 and the August 8 final.
The Australian YR Championships was next on the list, held at SIEC. Arcanell Isle was placed in Elementary, FEI Junior and the Freestyles.
Arcanell Isle, Torlea Evaluation and Age B headed to DF in December with great results
2010 started at Treehaven with MC Jamaica winning and placing at Prelim with 70% and 73% a very promising result. Training partner Cody Rawson-Harris from FILM LIVESTOCK AUSTRALIA was not about to be left out of the action with a 70% with his partbred Andalusian Rat Bag Windy in their debut test.
