Latest News

May 2013

Following our bumper, but sad month of April, May has started relatively quiet- apart from the news that Stuart and Pluto won the Sydney CCI*** taking out individual honors for the Australian team in the Trans Tasman Challenge late April. The highs and lows of our sport are unconditional- In 2 weeks Stuart wins 2 major events in a row, but loses his equine soul mate ‘Jeepster’ (Please read the archives if you would like to hear his story.)

Cara with Pluto after his run across country-recovering in his HIDEZ suit. Note Pluto has his tongue out yet again! What a trait, he just knows when the camera is on him- maybe he’s saying-

‘Where’s my beer Cara?’

We must too thank John and Jane Pittard for giving us such great pleasure with their 2 horses Pluto Mio and Annapurna- what a great duo! It was a great weekend for the Pittards with their 2 race horses also turning in great results- Mybenz winning at Flemington and Yosei 3rd in a group 1 race

Onwards and hopefully upwards- We have a rather large group of horses off to Equestraid ( Camden 24th/25th May) which will keep our groom  Cara VERY busy- Not sure how we will all handle the 7 horses ( includes Jaymee and Gemma) 

Straight after Equestraid we have the Coonabarabran Expo for a week with Gemma and her school Northholm Grammar- this year it is expected that over 700 horses will attend (550+ school riders) what a job for the organizers- they do the most amazing job it is always great fun and a total horse bonanza! CopRice sponsoring the eventing and combined training-

This month’s ‘LIKES’ from the Tinney Camp:

  • Gemma ‘likes’ The Dublin 3 in 1 long sleeve show shirt.
  • Pluto ‘likes’ HIDEZ J
