Jeepster was originally bought for
the Tinney's in 1993 by Michael Pribula. He was always going to be a serious
prospect, but was a little naughty in the dressage during
his early years. However, he continually showed a
unique ability, so the Tinney's persevered with him. Michael
Pribula sold his share to the Tinney's in 1995.
Jeepster's record above speaks for
itself. As well
as finishing in the top spot at the Sydney Olympics, he was
named NSW Eventing Horse of the year in 2000. In 2003 he
came 2nd at Adelaide 4 star event. He was then picked in
2004 to again represent Australia at the Olympics in Athens.
