Standardbred
The annual Standardbred state championship
was held on 24th of March in perfect weather
conditions. With 33 horses and handlers in
attendance, the classes began with eastern
states judge, Narelle Kinnear (NSW)
commencing the day with Best Presented
Exhibit. This class was open to both purebreds
and partbred Standardbreds and had 28 neat
and tidy horses and handlers enter the ring to
present for judging. After much deliberation,
Champion was awarded to the immaculately
turned out Adina Park Darcy Woods and
handler Kristie Morrone with Reserve going
to Satinka Park Ashtaar and handler Jackie
Searies.
The Partbreds were up next with the Champion
Partbred award going to DevilÕs Choice,
executing a soft and balanced workout to out
move his less seasoned rivals, with Cassachi
Park Poseidon going Reserve.
The Purebreds started with the
juniors 3yrs and under and two fillies
were presented for judging with the
Champion filly and Supreme Junior
award going to Shadows Mini Diva.
Black and Gold picked up Reserve
Junior Filly. With no stallions entered
this year, judging moved onto the
senior mares 4-6 yrs. with the finalist
being Matildas Bay Dream. Senior
mares 7 yrs and over had six horses
presented with the finalist being
the awesome moving Adina Park
Phedora, who also went on to be
Champion Senior Mare.
The Geldings were in great form this
year with Adina Park Darcy Woods

Bunbury Showjumping
Showjumping has been part of the annual
Bunbury Agricultural Show for 30 years.
Known since 2006 as the Bunbury
Showjumping Classic, the popular event
attracts riders from all over WA Ð and for the
past two years, has been held on the same
grounds as the first Bunbury show was a
century ago.
Located this year toward the rear of the
showgrounds, the showjumping arena offered
riders a dedicated area in which to compete.
Fred FreemanÕs inviting courses encouraged
horses to go forward and maximised the
arena space, which wasnÕt especially large
but offered extremely good footing. Open
tracks flowed, particularly in first round
competition, while jump offs with interesting
turns and combinations became increasingly
challenging - especially in the higher height
classes.
Classes ranging from 80cm junior events to
the 135cm Horse of the Year Qualifier were
all held in a single arena on Saturday and
Sunday. Amongst these were three Heathwaysponsored Go for 2 & 5 Young Masters
Qualifiers. Generously sponsored, this series
of qualifiers is held at several different
shows during each year and are designed
to encourage youngsters to participate
in competitive sports from an early age.
Although this yearÕs junior class sizes at
Bunbury were slightly diminished due to
the Interschool Championships being held
simultaneously at Brigadoon, the standard of
the 80-110cm competitions remained very
competitive. Open classes at these lower
heights also offered opportunities for riders
to school greener horses, as well as giving
confidence to less experienced riders.
Strong entries across all levels ensured
competitive jumping throughout the weekend,
and organisers and officials including Fred
Freeman, FEI Judge Penny Dodd and event
organisers Rebecca Bonetti and Betty and Rob
Lammie, did a superb job of ensuring that the
event moved smoothly. Early drizzling rain
on Saturday kept the ground moist and footing
was maintained throughout the competition.
The popularity of the show was evident in
the number of repeat sponsors who have
provided support for many years. Special
awards included the Bunbury Turf Club Hi
Points Thoroughbred Trophy (Aly Cat ridden
by Bridget Kelly); Champion Junior Rider,
sponsored by the Hon. Adele Farina MLC;
Hi Points Horse, sponsored by the Hon.
Nigel Hallet MLC (Phantom Vortex ridden by
Matt Godwin) and Hi Points Rider (Chelsea
McInnes).
Class winners included:
Tahlia Baxter and Lovely Buns (Forrest
Partners 80cm Open); Ashleigh Giblett and
Just Jazz (80cm Go for 2 & 5 Young Masters);
Emma Carlile and Diamond B Catalina (The
State Championships

awarded to Adina Park Darcy Woods after
showing an elaborate but balanced workout
and Prince Pumbaa picking up Reserve.
Stable mates Adina Park Darcy Woods and
Adina Park Phedora had the mighty challenge
against each other for the Supreme Senior
award, but with an exquisite workout the
beautiful mare Adina Park Phedora showed
off her usual flair and was awarded Supreme
Senior over her stable mate and also went on
to win Grand Champion Led Purebred Exhibit
for 2012.
The handlers classes gave Shanarlah Pickett
a chance to show her competitors how it was
done to take out the Champion Junior Handler
award with Kiah Summerhayes snapping
up Reserve. Alex Markoski was awarded
Champion Senior Handler over Renee Bol,
who went Reserve.
After a short lunch break judging of the ridden
commenced with Smartest on Parade. This
class had great numbers with the perfectly
presented Adina Park Phedora and rider
Kristie Morrone taking out Champion. The
Junior Rider class was in great competition
with Rebekah Barrett taking out Finalist.
Carly Hockridge rode her Partbred DevilÕs
Choice to secure finalist in senior rider and
Champion rider of the day, with Diana Jansen
picking up Reserve. DevilÕs Choice then went

WAAHA
All Arabian Show
The new ÔAÕ class requirements for Derivative
Arabians were implemented in the program
for the 2012 All Arabian Show held on 25th
of March at the SEC. This made for a very
long program and long days, however it didnÕt
deter competitors on as numbers were up on
last year.
Jacquie Webby (NZ) presided over most
of the halter classes but also stepped in to
help Carolyn Potts (SA) with the huge task
of judging the ridden events. The WAAHA
committee would like to thank these ladies for
making the event such an enjoyable one!

Fairytale. Photo courtesy Paige King
The Junior Derivatives were up first with
some lovely youngsters strutting their stuff to
bring home the ribbons, but it was the striking
partbred filly Fairytale (M. Gorringe) that
eventually took the honour of Supreme Junior
Derivative. It was nice to see some new faces,
or should it be muzzles, in the senior classes.
The stunning stallion Burnbrae Park Talisman
(C. Matsen) won the strongly contested senior
Arabian Riding Pony, Champion WA Bred,
and then went on to take out Supreme Senior
Derivative.
The Ridden Derivative classes were well
attended and it was great to see some halter
champions coming out under saddle and
taking out their ridden championships as well.
Relentless R (S. Price) won Champion
Arabian Warmblood, Newcomer and
Ridden Derivative. Highfield Ophelia (K.
Carr) won both Partbred Halter and Ridden
Championships. These two
exhibits and eight others were
invited to contest the Ultimate
event, but the gorgeous little
Gordon Park Evening (J

Melissa Ellery, stole the show,
completing a perfect workout
to win Derivative Ultimate
Arabian.

PCAWA Tetrathlon
The Pony Club Association of Western
Australia
(PCAWA)
State Tetrathlon
Championships was hosted by Avon Valley
Show Jumping and Pony Club in Northam
over the weekend of the 31st May-1st April.
Tetrathlon is a unique sport that involves
four phases Ð running, shooting, swimming
and a ridden cross country phase. It is based
on the Olympic sport of Modern Pentathlon
(fencing omitted). The Pony Club Association
of Western Australia has been supporting
Tetrathlon since 1971. It is an event that
showcases the all-round sporting prowess of
many of the members, and the determination
of many others who are not naturally as
athletic. Tetrathlon is a favourite amongst
the male riders, but strongly supported by the
female riders as well.
by Trudi Hall
The event was attended by over 180 PCAWA
members aged from 10yrs to 25yrs (30 of
which were male riders) and competing as
teams of four in classes from D grade through
to championship classes (A grade), with each
team member participating in all four phases.

WA bred racehorse Northerly was put to sleep
after a severe colic attack on the 10th of May.
The 15 year old gelding was renowned for his
fighting qualities beginning with his birth when he
was pulled cold and lifelss from his dam and only
survived thanks to heart massage performed by
breeder Neville Duncan.
Trained by revered horseman Fred Kersley,
Northerly began his career at Ascot in Perth in
the autumn of 2000. Winner of an Australian Cup,
Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and three other Group
one wins, all up Northerly raced 37 times for 19
wins before his career was ended by a tendon
injury. He was the 2003 Horse Of The Year and is a
member of racing’s Hall Of Fame.
Northerly was buried upright and facing east in
the tradition of great warriors at breeder Neville
Duncan’s Oakland Park stud near Margaret River.

Thirty one year old WA based champion pacer
Village Kid died 14th April on the property of his
part-owner and trainer Bill Horn, where he had
lived for the past 27 years.
Foaled in New Zealand he began his career in
1983 when Perth farrier Dudley Anderson spotted
him while on holiday and suggested to trainer
Bill Horn that he was pretty sure he could fix the
horse’s shoeing and turn him into a decent pacer.
He commenced racing in Western Australia as a
4yo in 1984 and was the fastest horse in Australia
in 1986, 1988 and 1989 - when he time-trialled as
a 13yo he bettered the World Record for a horse of
his age. Village Kid remains the only horse to win
all three heats of an Inter Dominion Series twice.
He retired as the world’s richest pacing gelding and
was also the richest Standardbred in Australasia
and the twelfth richest pacer in the world when he
finished racing.

Two years ago US showjumper Margie Engle
purchased Argyle Stables Indigo, a 10-year-old
gelding campaigned by Linda Dobson, and it
seems the horse has lived up to the expectations of
his Australian connections. Following his purchase
the pair won a World Cup qualifier in Tampa and
he has secured wins and high placings since then.
Margie Engle is currently leading the North
American East Coast League World Cup Qualifying
Rankings, she and Indigo have won many classes
this season, including the $50,000 FEI World
Cup Grand Prix in December. Margie praised the
horse’s scope and attitude and said he makes her
job really easy because he’s very enthusiastic.
According to sources the horse is in the top five
up for selection for the London Olympics. Some of
Engle’s clients have invested in Indigo, but Engle
says she still holds the controlling interest.

A Sharon Jarvis Paralympic Dream Syndicate
has been initiated by supporters wanting to help
the para-equestrian rider on her journey to the
Paralympics. An opportunity to be a part owner of
a horse that may compete at future Paralympics
and World Para-Equestrian Games and in Europe
is being offered to others interested in helping out.
Sharon, dual bronze medal winner at the 2010
World Para-Equestrian Games, representative at
the 2008 Paralympic Games, 2010 EA Domestic
Athlete of the Year, 2010 South West Sports Star
of the Year and so much more, needs a helping
hand to remain at this high level of competition.
Her medal winning partner, Applewood Odorado,
had to be retired from competition.
In April Sharon competed on Michar, a 10 year old,
16.3h Danish Warmblood gelding, for a win and
two seconds, then again at the Para-equestrian
nomination event over three days 11-13th of May,
winning all three events they entered. In the Team
Test, 1st place with 69%, the second highest
score across all grades, then 1st in the Grade

for the hat trick, 1st in the Freestyle with 73.83%.

nomination to the 2012 Paralympics as they have
not competed at three selection events.

years away. Sharon and Michar have a very good
chance of making that team if they can continue
their partnership.If you think you can help please

a mixture of halter, ridden classes,
dressage and handler classes.
The next competition was the Pony

following weekend at the Richmond Polo
grounds. Rory Hovell from Yalambi Farm
Stud, along with co-rider Alison Rowlands
,had a strong string of twelve horses, along
with David Dobson and his team, including
pupils Pascale Young, Rebecca Tucker and
Anna McGregor.
The main event in which Alison and David
were striving towards was the Equiline World
Cup Qualifier, along with another 24 riders
from around Australia. Alison RowlandÕs
nomination was the co-owned mare Bickley
Brook Bella by Premier Des Hayettes, bred
by national selector and WA based course
builder Peter Cooke. After a successful run
at the Mount Gambier Championships this
combination were in form. Alison, along
with David Dobson riding AS Akon, posted
two very professional first round clears along
with only three other combinations. Ten
riders were invited back to the second round,
including those five riders that were sitting on
four faults, and with the pressure having been
set early by these riders posting fast clears in
the second round, it left no room for error.
Alison rode a tight round on the swift moving
Bickley Brook Bella and with a quick run to
the last being a deceivingly tall wall, ÔDougÕ
clocked a time that was going to take some
beating. And that it did!
Even with David Dobson being a master of
jump offs and coming off a strong win on the
first day with this horse, David and AS Akon
jumped a well deserving clear round to claim
second.
Even though WA is the only State that currently
doesnÕt have a World Cup Qualifying event in
showjumping it still shows the strong field of
riders and horses that can be produced here in
WA. Perhaps if the strong contingency of WA
riders continue to impress on the East Coast
and the quality of shows continue to improve
here in WA, itÕs likely our state could re-join
the Australian circuit of Qualifying events.
Team Marena Carriage
Driving
by Carol Hammond
Only Ôfair dinkumÕ carriage driving enthusiasts
would really understand the dream to take a
four in hand horse team over 8000 kms (return
trip) from Albany in WA to have a crack at the
Nationals at Longwood in Victoria.
It all began when Jim Oversby broke
in Marena WilliamsÕ two Stockhorse/
Thoroughbred chestnuts to harness last year.
Marena reckoned pairs were fun but a team
looked challenging so JimÕs partner, Carol
Hammond, suggested teaming the chestnut
pair with her Friesian Warmblood pair - the
resulting team dubbed the ÔBlack and TansÕ.
The girls hatched the idea that they needed
coaching and to compete Ôover eastÕ with the
team and, despite Jim having reservations, the
girls threw themselves into planning the transNullarbor adventure. Months of preparation
ensued, and at last, thanks to many local
sponsors, including Albany Carriage Driving
Club, Mitavite Feeds, Albany City motors,
Albany Sign Writers, Just Sew, Albany
Stockfeed store, Europa, Friso Friesian Stud
and Edenvale Stud, they were on the road!
Prior to heading east, US based Australian
coach Gavin Robson straightened out the
team at a run at the Porongorup Carnival in Mt
Barker. The team attracted local newspaper
and TV coverage and a lot of admirers, after
all very few have seen a four in hand horse
team.
The first day was a bludge from Mt Barker
to Esperance (730 kms), the next night was
at Cocklebiddy on the Nullarbor (630 kms),
Bundanoon in the NSW Southern Highlands
to camp for a week at the local Pony and
Driving Club grounds. The horses were in
heaven Ð knee deep green grass and rain Ð a
contrast to WA.
Good news at last when a friend found a
Percheron-Andalusian cross gelding to take
the place of the injured horse. Next weekend
ÔTeam MarenaÕ competed at Marrar, near
WA

then to Nundroo (640 kms) and on the fourth
day they made it to Peterborough in northern
South Australia (750 kms).
Peterborough was real surprise, the arid red
dust of previous years was replaced with
green pick thanks to rain two weeks before,
which the horses enjoyed while the travellers
took in the warm hospitality and red wine of
the Gawler Plains Carriage Driving club. At
the end of the week ÔTeam MarenaÕ competed
in a CDE organised by the local club, where
they starred as there were no other horses!
However misfortune struck the day after when
the Friesian Warmblood leader was found to
be sore and clearly could not continue. Jackie
Boyd very kindly offered to paddock the mare
at Echunga in the Adelaide Hills so the team
could battle on to NSW as planned.
Disaster, it is said, comes in threes and the
following evening, on a lonely section of road
between Balranald and Euston on the Sturt
Highway, oil spewed from the truck. It was
dark so there was no choice but to unload
the horses and camp on the side of the road
until the morning when the leak was plugged
and they headed for Hay. At Hay they had to
detour up to West Wyalong because of floods.
What next?
This question was answered when the
electrical system in the truck threw in the
towel and the horses could not be unloaded.
The pin holding the hydraulic ram on the
ramp had to be hammered out to release the
horses! Next morning the electrical system
was fixed, and ‘Team Marena’ hit the road for
Wagga, amazing the local television reporter
who wondered about the sanity of people who
would travel from WA to compete in carriage
driving in the eastern states. ÒEspeciallyÓ the
reporter said, Òwhen there is no money in it!Ó.
The Marrar CDE went very well, so successful
that the crew reckoned they had an outside
chance, despite the lack of horse experience.
Finally the team arrived in Longwood for the
main event Ð the Nationals. The chestnuts
had competed in only two CDEÕs, the ÔgreenÕ
replacement horse bought in NSW two weeks
before had only just done one; it would be
asking a lot of the experienced Friesian
Warmblood to show the way. The dressage
score was disappointing but not unexpected,
just keeping an inexperienced team in the
arena was an achievement! By marathon
day nothing was left to chance - obstacles
walked, times rehearsed, gear checked, horses
harnessed and booted. Friends and supporters
had travelled many miles to see the team
compete. No problems with Section ÔAÕ but as
the team neared the vet check after the walk
it was discovered that a bell boot had badly
rubbed one of the wheelers and the horse
could not continue - there was no alternative
but to vet the team out.
Elimination is always disappointing and
does make for a long drive home, especially
when home is in WA! However the team had
fantastic fun, made great friends and some
have resolved to go back and have another
crack at competing in the eastern states some
time down the track.

W.A.Y.E.R.Õs Olga Reveler Memorial CIC
at Brookleigh has become a regular fixture
on the WA calendar since its inauguration as
a memorial event honouring Nikki BrooksÕ
mother, Olga Reveler, a significant equestrian
supporter who passed away in 2010. Only
four CICÕs are run annually in WA, giving
FEI competitors the opportunity to qualify for
the Wooroloo Three-Day event and Eastern
States competitions. Expensive to run and
challenging to organise, the CICs require
interstate and international officials who at
this event included Nicoli Fife (NZ), Peter
Madigan, Ian Coulson, Des Hughes (AUS),
joining additional WA officials, including as
FEI Veterinary Delegate Warwick Vale.
This yearÕs event missed having several high
profile WA FEI competitors, who were in
NSW preparing for SydneyÕs International
Three-Day event. Their absence was most
noticeable in the 3*** CIC class, which was
run for a single competitor Ð Anthonia Hartley
and Due Heed, whose successful 3*** debut
at this event included a superbly ridden, clear
cross country run over Ewan KelletÕs testing
course, refined by Tom Campagnoni. “We
were pleased to run the 3*** for Anthonia,Ó
commented PollyAnn Huntington, respected
FEI official, judge and Ground Jury member.
ÒThe cross country sector was especially wellridden and weÕre all proud of what Anthonia
achieved - particularly as the sole rider in this
event at the 3*** level.Ó
The reduced 2** class became even smaller
after two of the five starters were stymied by
falls at 5a,b,c - an intimidating coffin complex
that asks competitors to go up a bank, over
a large log (a) down over the coffin (b) and
bounce up and out over a skinny log (c) on the
other side. The winners, Lauren Browne on
the aptly named Quarter Horse, Dakota Ultra
Easy, easily won the class on 65.03, despite
having eight showjumping penalties.
In the 1* class, all but two of 17 horses
b y Su za nne McG
Jumping the coffin complex was never an issue
for Dakota Ultra Easy and Lauren Browne.
Deon Stokes won the Senior Pre-Novice riding
Federation. Photo by Duncan Pratt Photography.
Novice results also reflected strong overall
performances, with the top three finishing on
their dressage scores, led by Shenae Lowings
on Venture Sky High on 44.30 and Luke Ellis
on Ellison Park Junior on 47.40.
While FEI classes were smaller than usual,
the Preliminary classes were so crowded
that an extra Senior Preliminary was added.
The top three Senior Prelim 1 combinations
all had excellent dressage scores and went
clear of jumping penalties. The increasingly
dominant Jessamy Walsh again shone in this
class, winning in 40.23 on Alan CampbellÕs
Boris Campbell by more than 12 points over
Emma King and EM and E Russell on 52.50.
JessamyÕs name was back on the board after
finishing fourth in the Senior Prelim 2 on her
own five-year old horse, Johnny Walker.
It was dressage rider Wayne Brush and
Millennium Edition who won the class, on
a dressage score of 41.60. Raquel Bennett
came third on 44.33 on another Alan
Campbell horse, The Libertine.
Forty-one competitors vied for Junior
GP
Prelim placings, but none touched
the outstanding performance of Louis
McWhirter and Belstone Matisse, whose
standout dressage score of 39.54 was only
slightly dented by a showjumping rail and
several cross country penalties. Second was
Hannah Richardson riding The Pledge on
52.50 and Emily Pelham finishing third on
53.44.
At the end of competition, W.A.Y.E.R.
founder PollyAnn Huntington acknowledged
the challenges of CIC events and expressed
particular appreciation to Sue Warren, who
took over as coordinator while key organisers
were in the Eastern States.

A Permit To Ride Down The Street?
by Carole Watson
ItÕs not often that shopping trolleys would be
classified together with equestrian traffic, but
according to a south west shire, both are likely
to disrupt municipal roads.
A local law passed by Collie Shire Council
recently prohibits horses being led, ridden
or driven down public streets unless a permit
has been issued. This affects riders wishing to
travel along streets in built-up areas, which
are defined as those with a 50km speed limit.
The Activities in Thoroughfares and Public
Places and Trading local law is intended to
prevent traffic obstruction and also makes
reference to abandoned shopping trolleys
and street stalls. Community Development
Officer, Allison Fergie, said the inclusion of
horses didnÕt come about as a result of any
problems with equestrian activities; rather, it
was an update to an existing law.
The councilÕs CEO, Jason Whiteaker, said
rangers would be required to act if there was
a complaint, but suggested intervention would
be unlikely otherwise. As we went to press
the rangers at Collie, who are responsible for
reinforcement, had not indicated in which
circumstances a permit might be issued, or
what penalty would be incurred in the case of
an infringement.
A search of the Local Laws Register with
the Department of Local Government
revealed that many shires have adopted
a version of this law, which is based
on a template issued by the WA Local
Government Association (WALGA).
Perhaps councils have approved this subsection without considering whether it is
in the public interest?
Under Australian law horses are classed as
vehicles so riders are subject to the same
rules as other road users, but this local
law creates even greater restrictions than
riders currently follow, so it is a worrying

is only as a means to riding somewhere else.
Members, former members and supporters
of Equestrian Western Australia (EWA) were
recently sent a letter by the Chairman of EWA
Alistair MacKinlay regarding the future of
EWA as the peak body of equestrian sport and
the State Equestrian Centre as an equestrian
facility.
For various reasons the membership is down
and the venue is being used less than is
necessary to keep the centre financially afloat.
According to the Chairman 500 more members
need to join by the end of the calendar year or
significant steps will be required by the EWA
Board.
Various options have been touted, such as
giving the SEC up, reducing the services
provided, increasing costs of hiring the
facility, offering the use of the facility to other
parties or winding up EWA as an organisation.
Membership of the EWA provides various
benefits, including personal insurance, the
opportunity to participate in high level
competition up to Olympic level, rules and
regulations to keep sports fair and enjoyable for
all, assessment by EWA judges, performance
records and registration of horses, opportunity
to have records maintained for those who wish
to compete nationally and a link to Equestrian
Australia and the FEI amongst others.
The SEC was built and vested in the City of
Swan in the 80Õs and was leased to EWA by the
City. The EWA then assumed responsibility for
the operation and upkeep. WA is the only state
body to have control over its own facility and
the Board is loathe to let it lapse, despite the
high cost of maintaining and operating such
a venue, and are working on implementing a
plan to enable EWA to survive and maintain
the SEC.
They believe increased funding from increased
use will enable this, and have a range of
ideas to create more use of the facility by
both the equestrian community and the local
community.
To encourage membership renewals the Board
has initiated the option to pay membership
fees monthly instead of annually and the new
system to do this will be introduced shortly.
Other improvements to the SEC have begun,
including installation of a new watering
system into the indoor arena (part of a five step
process to further improve the surface).
Recommendations of consultants to improve
the quality of the outdoor surfaces have also
been acted upon.
EWA Membership
Importantly the Board needs to know that
the significant effort that it intends to put in
will be supported by the members, otherwise
it will be forced to consider the previously
mentioned options. They are asking members
to re-join if lapsed, participate in using the
facility by entering events, help to increase the
membership by encouraging others to join,
volunteer at events, sponsor events, increase
event participation by running events and
bring the standard of the facility back to what
it should be by helping out with maintenance
at the SEC in the form of busy bees.
The full ChairmanÕs letter is available on
the EWA website, along with some FAQÕs
which provide answers to commonly asked
questions. Member input is encouraged and
any queries or issues can be addressed by
emailing reception@equestrianwa.org.au and
setting out the problem or any suggestions on
how to do something better.
Perhaps the equestrian community needs to
take ownership of organisations and facilities
such as these and become part of the solution
rather than the problem.
With this in mind Hoofbeats will be

steps towards this goal.

FOCUS
on clinics

Steve Brady, one of AustraliaÕs most respected
clinicians and horsemen, was back in Western
Australia in April. Conducting six clinics
in Albany, Oakford, Brigadoon, Williams
and Dardanup, Steve keeps a busy schedule
but still manages to offer quality tuition
and gives readily of his time, helping riders
with even the most difficult horse problems
and doing various displays during the lunch
Amanda Rayner’s mare Effie went from nervous and

break. Riders from many different disciplines
attend these clinics, as SteveÕs methods
encompass universally correct principles that
can be adapted to any discipline. The fact that
riders keep coming back to learn more is an
indication of the success of these techniques,
many bringing young and green horses
through to schooled horses after a few years.
The clinics are so popular that they are
generally booked out months in advance and
there is usually a waiting list for those hoping
to squeeze in should someone drop out.
Steve methods gradually build each exercise
into a series of moves, with the participants
not moving on to the next exercise until it is
correctly carried out and the horse is giving
the desired response. There are two lessons
per day with groundwork being first up and

then moving on to incorporating the exercises
on the ground into those carried out under
saddle. The exercises are designed to teach
suppleness in the four sections of the horses
- the head and neck, the ribcage, shoulders
and hindquarters - developing submission to
the leg and rein aids and ultimately creating
softness and responsiveness to the lightest of
aids.
The Dardanup clinic, held on 28th - 30th of
April, is held at the Dardanup Equestrian
Grounds, an ideal venue with its constantly
upgraded facilities and plenty of room for
horses and riders to camp the three nights.
Despite being hit with heavy rain and stormy
weather the grounds held up very well,
although the riders may have felt less so!
As is the format at all SteveÕs clinics, the riders
were split into two groups - those with ÔgreenÕ
or young horses or those who may not have
attended a Steve Brady Clinic previously, and
those who have more educated or experienced
horses, who have attended clinics before and
are familiar with the methods and exercises.
Within these groups there are also various
levels of experience, however the exercises
allow each individual horse and rider to gain
the most from the lesson.
A huge arena allows riders with fractious or
unsettled horses to take them away from the
main group, and still participate in the lesson,
until the horse is calm and they can rejoin the
other riders.
Riders learned to position their horses where
they wanted in each pace, perform shoulderin, sidestep the hindquarters and forehand
(sidepass), counter bend and leg yield, as
well as general manners and one and two
rein work. Several of the participants have
been attending the Dardanup clinics for some
years and have been building towards flying
Coaching throughout the UK, Europe, South
Africa and Australia, Denise OÕReilly is one
of the highest qualified Ride With Your Mind
coaches in the world. The RWYM method,
founded by Mary Wanless, focusses primarily
on the biomechanics of the rider, making
it explicit and learnable, and utilises the
elements of Neuro-linguistic Programming
(NLP), which explores the realtionships
between how a rider thinks, how they
communicate and their patterns of behaviour
and emotion. Riders are taught to indentify
faulty habit patterns, consciously inhibit them
and then initiate action to change the pattern.
Denise held a number of two and three day
clinics which consisted of individual and
shared lessons at fellow RWYM instructor
Anne MontgomeryÕs property from April 4th14th. Focussing on the biomechanics of the
rider rather than the horse, Denise encouraged
riders to think about what various parts of their
body were doing, creating awareness and then

were going. Lunchtime lectures reinforced this
awareness with riders watching video footage
of their session and receiving feedback from
Denise whose engaging and positive manner
was very encouraging to riders.

Serpentine Gala
Held at the Serpentine Show Grounds on
the 25th of March 2012, the Serpentine Gala
Hack and Hunter Spectacular lived up to its
reputation of the year before, with beautifully
decorated grounds and enormous attention to
detail, including a VIP catered section and
presentation areas. Once again the sponsorship
and prizes were top class, as a $5000 holiday,
garlands and other prizes were all up for grabs
by the 180 competitors.

beautifully.
Competitors in the Official rings were also of
a very high standard with Ms Asha Gearing
judging Hacks, and Ms Emma Dunn judging
the ponies. Both judges commented on
the immaculate turnout of the horses and
ponies, who all performed very well, and also
commenting how professional and well run
the show was.

With that many competitors the massive grounds
were packed with floats parked as far as the eye
could see and six rings running throughout the day
to cope with them all. The younger riders are the
special focus for this show, and they certainly had
a ball, with giggling children and many mums and
dads enjoying the show. After the classes they were
encouraged to put on all of their ribbons (which
were rainbow coloured instead of the traditional
plain colours) and parade in a long line in front of
the sponsors and VIP area where they all received a
special Chup Chup bouquet and plenty of applause.

The first ridden ring was so well supported that it
had to be split into two and after the main classes
the young competitors could not wait to begin the
Ôfun gamesÕ, showing off their skills in the novelty
events aboard their lovely show ponies.
Judged by Mrs Sue Smulders and Mrs Debbie
Wood respectively, there were large numbers
of competitors in the Unofficial Ponies and

As well as the focus on the younger
riders, this show has another point
of difference in that at the end of the
day all Champions from both rings
present themselves to both judges in
front of the spectator area. All ponies,
hacks, galloways and hunters compete
against each other, performing a small
workout, after which they are all lined
up to be presented with a wide sash.

talked about Mega Gold Garland kindly
donated by Katrinas Garlands. Gold and
Silver also received a $500 voucher each
from Combined Horse Transport.
Straight after the major award, the raffle
for the $5000 holiday at Karma Resort Bali
was drawn, and the lucky winners of this
prize were the Indrizzi family. Second prize
of a voucher for the stud fee to Western
AustraliaÕs top Riding Pony Stallion, Royal
and Regal of Sefton, kindly donated by
Brittany and Caris Reside of Leeara Park,
was won by Bec and Rhiannon Purser.
Other prizes included a night at Rottnest
Lodge with all the trimmings.
Organisers Maxine and Alison Gee would
both like to say a big thank you to Cara
Douglas, who does so much behind the
scenes, Sharon King, and the support
of local and overseas sponsors of the
event who help to provide competitors
with a reward for their hard work and
achievements.
