The prestigious Equestrian Queensland Awards night was held on Saturday night at Jupiters Casino on the Gold Coast. Olivia was nominated for the Junior Sports Star of the Year and the Glen Haven Park team were out in force to support her. Olivia didn't win the award, which included nominees from all equestrian sports, the winner was Alexandra Toft, but it was still a thrill for Olivia to be nominated. Congratulations to Alexandra! All was not lost, however, as Olivia and Randlab Nero were awarded runner up in the 2009 Future Stars Series, which was very exciting and caused much cheering from the Glen Haven table! More to cheer about - an unexpected formal presentation to Paula was held, for winning the Barastoc Young Horse of the Year Series with GH Avion (Billy). Go Paula and Billy!! A wonderful meal was followed by plenty of dancing to the fab band, with everyone from Glen Haven cheering loudly (again) when Paula and Billy's picture was displayed on the big screen above the dance floor! Thank you to Equestrian Queensland for putting on an excellent night. We especially liked the little bay horse toys in our sample bags. These have now been named after the bay geldings we have on the Singapore team!
