Canberra and Back Again

Olivia is home now after a big 2 weeks in Canberra for the NSW State and Australian Championships. Despite absolutely appalling weather - storming and freezing cold the whole time - Olivia was very happy with how all the horses jumped during the Championships. At the NSW State Championships, Olivia placed 3rd in the Junior, 3rd in the Young Rider and 2nd runner up overall in the Young Rider Titles. At the Australian Championships four of Olivia's horses (including Singapore horse, Gatineau) qualified for the final day of competition and Olivia was a member of the Queensland State Team that won the teams event. The newest member of our Team Singapore horses, Van Diemen (Archie), won the Junior Grand Prix at the NSW State Titles, which made us all very proud and excited about him coming to live at Glen Haven Park. After the long trip from Canberra the horses (and humans!) were very happy to be home in sunny Queensland. Olivia and Emma decided to give Al and Bucky some extra special chill out time by taking them for a swim in the creek and for a relaxing bareback jaunt!
