July 2010 Newsletter | listed 16/07/2010

July appears to be the mid year ‘lull’! With back to back events and now weeks between them... not complaining as it gives us all time to re-group. With Melbourne CCI behind us we have a few new additions to the Tinney Yard. One being a new student from Sweden, Johanna Aiff. Another John and Caroline Twomey from New Zealand. John an event rider will base himself in Australia to do some CCI events. We welcome all of them!

Some very good news is Panamera (owner Tim Game) has been put on the Elite list, alongside her stable companion Vettori (owners Pete O’Connell and Kathy Ward) We are very excited to have then both there and considered for selection for WEG and the future Olympics in London.

With WEG getting closer and consideration for a berth on the team, the pressure of the trip to Kentucky is very daunting and more importantly expensive! Not a good time for any Elite rider with financial and family commitments to be leaving their business’s for a month. So this leads us to a very important fundraiser night, in support of our Australian Elite event riders heading for Kentucky.  .. ‘Cantering towards Kentucky’ A fun night to be held on Friday 3rd September at The Crown Plaza Norwest NSW, All proceeds will go to our Elite event riders...More info can be found soon on www.tinneyeventing.com

KEEP THE NIGHT FREE!!

School holidays are here and the first week saw Stuart and Karen coach at the Interschool’s Winter Camp. With record numbers this year and lots of development coaching it was a huge success. Awards were given to 10 of the 120 junior riders for ‘horsemanship’, this was chosen by nomination from coaches! We were all very excited when Gemma won her award!

It was lovely to see Katie Fenlon and Timothy McClelland … from Coprice at the Interschool’s Winter camp. Both caught up with sponsored riders from their NutriRice Star Squad. Congratulations to the 2 new additions to the Squad:  Kirby Delamont and Tara Sheridan.

Big thanks to Coprice for their ongoing support to our equine friends! Coprice will also sponsor The Sydney International CCI*** Event Raffle (26th/ 27th Aug)

A very important event being the last selection for WEG...Hope to see you all there! (Remember buy a raffle ticket!)

Keep an eye too on our clinic page, as TE becomes involved with coaching and clinics at Kitara Lodge on the Central Coast. Anyone interested in coaching from Stuart at Kitara Lodge send us an email!

With spring, hopefully just around the corner it will be time for the breeding season to start. We currently have frozen semen available from our very own Koyuna Levi (nee Nick). Koyuna Levi is sired by Koyuna Genesis and out of a Souvenir mare. Levi has a fabulous temperament and in 2010 we hope to see him fill his competition potential with him placing 2nd at his first two prelim starts.
