Karl Gilliland - Employee of the Month!

Karl being presented with his Employee of the Month Certificate by David and Paula

Last Friday night was a double celebration for groom, Karl Gilliland, it was his 20th birthday and he was awarded Glen Haven Park Employee of the Month for September - as reward for his dedication to and great care of the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Horses. Karl was presented with his certificate and a beautiful horse book, during dinner at local Kilcoy pub, The Stanley Hotel, where a fun time was had by all the team, dancing the night away to live music. Congratulations Karl!

Full Speed Ahead!

It's all happening here at Glen Haven Park with more horses arriving for training this month, these include Foxdale Villarni, Hugo, Teddy Waffles, Butterfly Kisses, Stoneleigh Eddie, Little Miss Sunshine, Oakbean Astro Boy and Links, with more arriving in the next day or so. All are adapting to life at Glen Haven and their training programs well. Yesterday we moved the jumps around to offer the horses more variety of fences and courses during training sessions. Our friendly vet, Paul Hatten, carried out his monthly vet inspection of the Singapore horses too. Paul is very happy with the overall condition of the horses and how they are muscling up in response to their training and feed programs. Joe Sewell, from Barastoc, also called in this week to discuss the horses feeding programs and to see how they were responding to their various feed and supplement regimes. When I have time to take pics that are good enough, we will upload more photos to the Singapore Horses page. Photography skills are improving but still not great!
