Howdy
Horse-Lovers!! |
| |
|
SUMMER has
arrived! Horses lost all their winter coat and all
going into AHS vaccination period |
|
again for 6
weeks. Meaning resting time and just chill for
them and us! |
|
|
|
Our last big
showing event was the WESTERN FESTIVAL from 22-25
September at the Afri-Dome |
|
in Parys,
Freestate. |
|
It was an AQHA
pointed approved show and SAQHA pointed show and
the big CRI Reining event. |
|
Competitors all
the way from Kwazulu-Natal were competing! |
|
|
|
In the SAQHA
Open Class Jullia was competing first timewith an
imported trained reining horse, |
|
called Sir Pine
by Boomer, he is a 12 year old gelding , we all
call him Boomer, what has been |
|
imported and
owned in July this year, by Sarieta van Wyk. Julia
came 1st in the Trail with a |
|
score of 69.5. |
|
The Western
Festival was a BIG, well attended and well
organised show, once again!!!! |
|
|
|
One week later
we were off to the North West, “city” called
Vryburg!!!! This time the National |
|
Youth show
Championships been held in Vryburg.. Last year it
was held in Mpumalanga |
|
(Morgenzone).
Every year it is in a different province. 9
provinces were competing all from |
|
different
agriculture schools. About 400 children were
competing either with a sheep, goat, pig, |
|
cow, bull,
rabbit, chicken, racing pigeon or a horse, also
culinary and dairy products were |
|
produced. |
|
High School
Bekker achieved 23 medals this year, WELL DONE!!! |
|
|
|
Julia were
competing with her horse Aladdin, this year in the
senior section, last year she was |
|
still a junior.
It is a total different kind of showing then that
of our shows. No riding involved. |
|
It includes
stable management, feeding, mugging and cleaning
the stables and decorating it |
|
presentable and
interesting, all by the youth pupil itself, no
help at all from an adult. Then they |
|
write an exam. |
|
10 horses were
competing in the senior section for horses. There
is a 20 min washing time, have |
|
to wash the
whole horse spotless, everywhere. You get some
time for drying the horse. Then off |
|
you go to the
preparation area, 20 min you get to prepare your
horse to show it in the show-ring. |
|
In the show-ring
you have to present your horse with pride and all
the time facing the judge. |
|
They don’t
judge the horses conformation at all. In the
show-ring Aladdin and Julia came 5th |
|
place. In the
overall senior horse section ( includes the score
from the exam, wash, prepare and |
|
showing) she
came 4th, which it a very good achievement for
her! |
|
Next year
National Youth show will be held in Worcester,
Western Cape!! That’s even further! |
|
|
|
Bronco Scooter
Chrome (Blondy) has been sold to Ian Colyn from
Krugersdorp. Congratulation! |
|
He will use her
for breeding, he has his own Quarter Horse Stud
called the “Q Stud”. |
|
|
|
That’s all for
now.........Keep on spinning and sliding..........
