Hi everyone,
I’m here in Mackay staying with my good friends the Madigans. They have one of our ponies and T.J. has been campaigning Brookville Silk Road (Pendley Gold Cup* x Silkwood Water Lily) under saddle this season. They have had a wonderful run so far with “James” and T.J. winning their open pony hack classes and mostly going on to be Champion or Reserve Pony. T.J. has pipped “James” off for Supreme with his beautiful well seasoned galloway Kolbeach Vogue. I’m delighted for him as he and “Alice” as the stunning chestnut is called are certainly a force to be reckoned with on the North Queensland show circuit.
Tomorrow is Future Star and Intermediate day at the 2010 Northern Queensland Show Horse Championships presented by Mackay Regional Equestrian Group Inc. so fingers crossed for T.J. and James in the Intermediates. T.J. has a strong field of competition in his rider class and I wish him well. Sunday will see the open classes and everyone vying for a win or runner up to contest at the 2011 Grand Nationals in April. More will be posted as the show progresses. Good luck everyone!
