AUGUST 09
I went to Toowoomba teaching before the World Cup show and stayed on to watch and help a couple of riders.
The weather this year was very similar to the current Sydney we are enjoying.
Frosts overnight and beautiful days were the norm.
There were plenty of NSW riders and they made their presence felt by winning the main class the World Cup (Chuggy) and many others.
The show went for three days from dawn til dark well after dark on all three days.
Australians will most likey need to learn to qualify for the finals or championships very soon as the show organisers are being overwhelmed by the numbers of competitors around.
What happened to the big downturn caused by EI and the GFC???
I pleased to say horses and riders are still out there going for it.
We are not so busy with competitions yet but in another month we will be.For the last quarter of the year most weekends are competitions. Our little team of Harry with his two new young horses and Liz with her two and my ,well my list isn't definate as yet lots of floaters.Some not quite ready to go to shows and some might not get to a show(sacked).
Keep looking ahead.
