SA Central Branch http://ashsacentral.com.au/ Christmas Stockwhip Dec 2012 Seasons Greetings to you and yours for the festive Season! The President & Committee wish you a safe and Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year with your Australian Stock Horses. SACB 40th Anniversary Branch Show by Melissa Morris As we look back over the previous forty years, we recognise the milestone 40th year of our branch and celebrate the past, present and future of our branch amongst our members. What better way to celebrate than to hold a 40th Anniversary Branch Show at the lovely Strathalbyn polo grounds! Conditions on the day were near perfect with blue skies, green turf and warm weather, which enabled some great photographic opportunities and happy riders. We held a challenge and two ASH rings, one was designated for youth events. Ring 1 was where all the action was with huge entries in some classes. The judge electing to work out the best five in each class in some cases, to be able keep the program moving.

Pg 2 1 SACB 40th Anniversary Show continued.. Numbers in youth events in SA have been low for some time. The SACB has been working hard to promote these events. We chose to run a program that includes all levels of youth riders. This event however , did not attract the numbers that we had hoped for. But the SACB hopes that the word will get around about all the fun and prizes that the riders shared and maybe next time we can get more entries !! Brodie Johnson and GLEN RAY RIVOLI REMINGTON (RIVOLI REWARD – HSH/GLEN LEE RIVOLI VASELEAN ) had wins in the Youth handler 13 and under 18 years, ASH hack rider under 18, Pleasure hack rider under 18 a 2 nd in Novice youth rider under 18.

All the cleaning and preparation was worth it! 2 Presidents Report Hi to all SACB and ASHS Members, What better way to kick off the 2012/2013 show season than with our 40 th Anniversary celebration branch show. We were graced with lovely warm weather and im sure everyone would agree the grounds were fantastic to ride on. We saw a fantastic display of some of the best ASH’s that SA has to offer, with up to 15 in some classes – how do you choose?!!! Everyone seemed to enjoy the day. It was a fun and relaxed atmosphere and one of the best ways to enjoy our Australian Stock horses. I would like to say a huge thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors without you these events would not be successful, I am sure all of the prize recipients were extremely happy. Recipients if you haven’t done so, please remember to thank the sponsors!!. Also a massive thank you to all of the volunteers/ helpers, judges and committee members who worked tirelessly prior to and throughout the day without people like you who donate their time, these events would not exist. We had a slightly smaller gathering at the October training day. Our branch coach Felicity had some of our newer members concentrating on their flatwork skills and working on what is required in the ASH show ring. Then in the afternoon a small group got to have a go at some of the skills required in challenge events, like the keyhole, the gate and poles. If there is anything else you would like to have a go at on these training days, please mention it to one of our committee members and we will try and accommodate you. The saddlery swap meet was also held at the beginning of November, whilst there were fewer stalls and visitors the day was still successful in bringing in a profit for the branch. We are looking for suggestions on how to better promote the swap meet for next year. So if any of you have ideas or would like to be involved please let us know. Events coming up are the Festival all breeds on the 18th November and don’t forget that the SE branch are running their branch show on the 2nd December – hopefully some of our members will head over and support that. High points shows are Northern Hack and Halter at Mount Pleasant on the 9th December and Dilute show where we have a ring on the 16th December. Royal Adelaide show information has just become available, whilst the event is not until March 2013 remember that the closing date is 14th December. I hope to see many of you out there and remember to have fun! My best wishes to you for a safe and merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

By Brooklyn Timmins The Youth ring was in full swing on a beautiful spring day at the recent ASHS SA Central Branch 40 th Anniversary Show, with 5 competitors having a crack at handler, hack, rider and working classes. There we some new faces, some returning faces, some young faces and some older faces, as for the horses well they were just long faces! A new face was Keelie Jenner from Strathalbyn Pony Club who had never done a Station Utility Pattern in her life! Lucky her faithful pony Mickey new what to do and carried her around the ring like she had been doing it for years. A returning face was Brodie Johnston and her horses Glen Lee Rivoli Remington and Indra Lea from all the way down the South East, who displayed some hard to beat workouts in Hack, Rider and Working Classes. Some young faces include Henry Williams and Chloe Neale who both had great fun and showed us how versatile there mum Rachel Fenn’s horse Dombarton Cabernet or Savvy as he is known. From the camp draft arena to the show ring with little legs on top that could hardly touch his belly! An older face nearly time to move on from the Youth ring was myself, Brooklyn Timmins. Whose horse Pakamass Zigzag had a very grumpy morning but ended up producing a somewhat respectable work out and some quick haunch turns in the rider and working classes. The day started off with the Youth Handler classes. We were judged under the watchful eye Mrs. Rosemary Vincent who offered advice and little tips during the day which all competitors appreciated. The classes continued with Stockman’s Turnout, Rider, Hack and working. A very important class that was also held was ASH most suitable for beginner rider-rider under 13yrs (May be led). This showed another side of the Australian Stock Horse in there ability to have a young or more inexperienced rider; ride around without any resistance or fuss. This truly showed one of the great attributes of the Australian Stock Horse. It was great to see lots of smiles and laughs from all competitors as the day carried on. At one stage during one of the classes, it almost required a name change to ‘The Best Pigroot Class” as just about every horse had a bee in there bonnet for a few circles. Nevertheless, the horses got on with the jobs at hand to produce some lovely workouts during the rest of the morning. The afternoon saw the conclusion of the show classes and the commencement of the Youth Challenge. This saw myself, Keelie Jenner and Henry Williams tackle the showcase of ‘challenging’ events that is the Challenge. A keyhole, barrel race, utility pattern and bending race were the challenges we faced. The bending race . A very speedy few runs came from the keyhole making that a good one to grab some points. We then moved on the utility pattern which required much skill and patience for that darn green gate! The final stage in the challenge was the barrel race. The fast clover leaf pattern every body loves. The youth stayed to watch some of the greats in the open ring to show us how it is done. Big congratulations go to Keelie Jenner and Mickey for winning the Youth Challenge. In 2nd place Brooklyn Timmins and Pakamass Zigzag, 3rd Henry Williams and Dombarton Cabernet Special thankyous from behalf of the youth competitors go to the committee for all there hard work, effort and sleepless nights putting this show together, our judge Mrs Rosemary Vincent who is always offering a kind word and encouragement throughout the day, our sponsor for there support of the youth classes, our steward Annika Danielsson and any other helper on the day or behind the scenes.

With show season starting, make sure that you have all your paperwork in order… are you riding a gelding, but your registration papers still show your horse as a stallion? You will need to get this amended or you could be declined from entering an event as a result. It is up to you to follow through on horse transfers and registrations with the ASHS When competing you should carry your ASHS membership card and horse registration/transfer with you to the event, just in case you are asked to provide proof. A polite reminder for judges & competitors not to be too familiar with each other whilst competiing, even though you may know them personally, do not refer to one another on a first name basis, as this is unprofessional and not appropriate ASHS Member conduct. *** Hot Weather Policy update *** SACB run events only If the weather forecast is for 38C or higher, as published in “The Advertiser” newspaper the day prior, any SACB run event will be cancelled.

Expression of Interest for SA Ladies Clinic We are seeking an expression of interest from all ASHS ladies for the SA Ladies Clinic in 2013 over a weekend that will fit in with all members and competition dates.

We have previously run this with much success, however, to justify the cost of an Accredited ASH Coach we need to find out how many ladies would attend, before we can go ahead and commit to dates, venues and booking an Accredited ASH Instructor.

Consiting of Rachel & Savvy, with Lindsay & Rustler Equitana was held this year at the Melbourne Showgrounds. Lindsay Cadzow and I had the honour of being selected by SA State Management Council to represent SA at the ASHS state of origin time trial challenge that was held on the Tuffrock arena on 18th November at 3.15pm. Dave and I set off on the 17th November with the two SA horses: Binjali Rustler, owned by the Cadzow’s and my ever-trustworthy Dombarton Cabernet (Savvy to his friends and family). Lindsay and Kym Cadzow had a busy weekend with horses in the races in Adelaide on the Saturday and they planned to drive through the night to meet us at Equitana on the Sunday morning. We decided to spend the night with Mat and Tristan Holz in Modella Victoria in a hope to pick up some tips from someone who has been very successful in time trials at a national level. So what was Mat’s tip to me for the challenge?...... ‘go as fast as you can!’. A man of few words, but hey, you can’t knock the reasoning behind it. We did set up a time trial at Mat and Tristan’s property and gave the horses a couple of run throughs the day before. Dave took Rustler for a spin on the off chance he would have to step up as the reserve rider should Kym and Lindsay run into trouble on their journey. We arrived at Equitana early Sunday morning and were confronted by an A-list line up of riders for the challenge: Michael Hiscock and Graham Rozinski riding for Victoria; Bill Peadon and Fiona Beer riding for NSW, Mat Holz and Adam Todd riding for WA, and Jason Fry and David White were flying the banner for QLD. I was happy to be there flying the flag for not only SA but for the ladies as well! 12 Equitana In the morning we had the opportunity to take in some of the Equitana atmosphere. There was a lot to see, and we managed to catch an ASH breed demonstration put together by Gordan Nash and Mathew Holz. I was extremely disappointed to realise that my nerves had seriously affected my ability to shop. But not to be deterred I managed to spend a quick few hundred at Angus Barrett Saddlery before the competition. Lindsay and I donned our red SA shirts and prepared the horses for the main event. It was a big thrill to ride out onto the arena and be a part of the Equitana atmosphere. We then realised we had a very strong SA support crew at various spots in the crowd cheering us on. The challenge was in 2 rounds with SA drawing second in both rounds. I would ride first for SA, then Lindsay, and we would both ride the course twice. The course was TOUGH. It was tight and the ground was extremely slippery. Michael Hiscock went out first and his horse slipped and slided at every obstacle. I remember thinking that I was going to have to ride smart to keep Savvy upright. When you see such an accomplished horseman struggling, you have to be wary. Savvy ran the course as he always does, carefully and to the ground conditions. Unfortunately, my foot knocked over a barrel and we had to add 3s onto our time. All the teams struggled through the course, with Aaron Todd’s horse falling at the jump and being awarded a restart by the judge. Lindsay also hit some trouble in his first run at the jump when Rustler lost his footing and sat down on his hindquarters. Thumbs up to Lindsay though as he managed to stay in the saddle while Rustler stood up and completed the course. SA did better in the second round. Savvy and I kept the course in tact, and Lindsay got extra crowd support for a maneuver where he nearly managed to keep a drum up with his hand whilst racing through the course. Ultimately, WA won the challenge, with Bill Peadon from NSW taking the prize for the fastest round. SA came in fifth place, but the scores were tight. I want to say a big thank you to the SA Central Branch for their financial support in helping us to get over there, and State Management Council for accepting our nomination to attend. It was great to see SA riders involved in such a big event for our breed. I also want to give big shout out to all the SA supporters in the crowd that day, your cheers helped get us through unscathed! Left: Presentation of ribbons to Team SA .
