Easter Update!!

Firstly, you will be pleased to know that Olivia has been performing super well in Arezzo, Italy. She has been riding for Ludo Phillippaerts for the last three months and has enjoyed the experience immensely! Olivia tells me that she has learnt heaps and can't wait to get home to show me some great training methods she has acquired whilst riding there. So far on her Italy Tour Olivia has had two 5^th placing's on two different horses. She also rides this weekend in the Silver Tour in the main Arena on a horse called Fidele. Ludo is very happy with her, so all good on that front! She arrives home in a couple of weeks.

Meanwhile I have been over to New Zealand with Nero GHP to compete at Hawera Show and the Horse of the Year Show in Hastings. The decision to go to NZ was a very quick one!! I had just ridden Nero for the first time at Nambour Grand Weekend Show and had a great show on him there, so decided last minute to book my horse and myself a couple of tickets and head on over to NZ!! Nero performed very well for me with a 2^nd in the Norwood Gold Cup, a 5^th in the Olympic Cup and a 3^rd in the Grand Prix at Hawera.

Then just last week we had Toowoomba Royal Show. The weather was fantastic and the jumping was terrific, my horses had wins and placing's in all events and jumped fantastically well, actually well enough to earn me the Champion Rider of the Show!! So the 2012 season is off to a flying start for Team Hamood, both here in Australia and over in Italy!!

We would like to wish you all a very safe and Happy Easter Break.

Shepparton and Wondonga World Cup Shows!!

Well what a month it has been!! The GHP team set off in early November for the Shepparton World Cup Show, the arena looked great and the courses built by David Sheppard were very good all weekend. El Bandit the 5yo El Bundy gelding was our first starter on the run he jumped double clean in the 1.20m just not quick enough for a ribbon. Airtime Z placed in all of his classes for the entire run, including 3rd in the Futurity at Shepparton. Eternal Flame placed in both the futurty and the C grade Championships along with GH Enzo jumping clean all weekend.

Olivia and Nero GHP took out best presented female in the World Cup Trot Up.

GH Eternal Flame and Olivia in the World Cup

Wodonga World Cup as usual was great fun and great jumping! The prestigeous Betty McVean Memorial was won by Tom McDermott unfortunately Olivia and Nero jumped one of eight clear rounds however Nero pulled up not quite right after the first round so we did not start him. This being the case we decided to step Eternal Flame up to the World Cup, she had jumped great indoors all show. Leeson Sirett built a good track, everything was easy to get to and the atmosphere was great! Eternal jumped around with just the one down in the middle of the treble in the first round and the same fence came down in the jump off also. We were very happy with this performance, Eternal is just 7yo and will now step back down to the 1.30m. Airtime Z had a 2nd in the 1.25m a 3rd in the B & C Champs and a 6th in the Futurity with Paula aboard. Eternal Flame was also 2n in the B & C Champs and 7th in the Futurity. Levitate finished 6th in the 1.25m speed class and Bucks Bunny, Avion and Enzo jumped nice clean rounds throughout the show. Thanks to Caitlin Collins for her fantastic grooming efforts! Matt Afford for his awesome help to physically shovel a truck load of sawdust into 8 stables and Tom Sedger for flying down for extra support crew. Our horses were in great shape thanks to Barastoc Horse Feeds and Kentucky Equine Research, and we were beautifully dressed by Animo Italia and One Black Horse NZ! Thanks to all our sponsors!

Hard working sawdust shoveller, Matt Afford!

Toowoomba Royal Show

 

The GHP team took 9 horses up to Toowoomba Royal this year. This was only the second major show we have done this year and the horses all did a good job. David Finch and Catherine James once again put on a lovely show, and the surface was great. The first succes of the show for team GHP was El Bandito jumping the only double clean in the 4 & 5year old Barastoc Young Horse Series taking an early lead. Eternal Flame and Airtime Z also jumped double clean in the 6 year old series along with a few others. Nero GHP has kicked off his season with a good start jumping a double clean round in the Grand Prix to finish sixth and also double clean in the A & B A2 to finish 3rd. Paula's young horses Avion and Airtime Z finished 3rd and 5th in the Mini Prix. Tom Sedger and Balmoral Georgio took out fourth in the D Garde. All in all the show was a good step forward and with a few more shows under their belts our horses should be in serious competition mode. Once again thankyou to all who put on a great show and also our sponsor! Stay tuned for Nambour May Show & Weekend of World Cups.
