This picture tells a million stories! November 2011 at the Show Horse Council Victoria Horse of the Year, in pouring rain Emily Murray and Simon de Leeuw negotiated their lead rein workout to attain Runner Up Lead Rein Pony of the Year. Smiling all the way, this very accomplished little rider and her dapper handler Simon made the best of very trying conditions. It goes to show just what the tried and true “showies” will put up with!
Whitmere Fascination, stable name “Whitney” handled the conditions to the best of her ability. She is out of the beautiful mare Kiabe Promise Me (Silkwood Chalkstream x Kiabe Reinette) and by Gold Cup. Owned by the lovely Michelle Labahn this little pony has secured a qualifier to attend the 2012 Show Horse Council of Australasia Grand Nationals. We wish this combination the very best of luck.
