PERFORMING HORSES

"Charlie" ridden by stephanie

Our 2005 show results.

Although we havent shown yet this year, we have attended two schools.

One Warren Cox reining school and one Ian Francis school. Both ourselves and our horses learnt alot. Stephanie took "Buck", our 'main stud' as Warren would call him. So Warren and Ian both rode him and liked him alot. There are more pictures of Ian and Warren riding him in "Just Horsen Around".

A TRIP OUT TO BELLENETY RODEO AND CAMPDRAFT FOUND ME WITH A THIRD SPOT IN THE MADIEN CAMDRAFT AND A FIRST IN THE STEER UNDECORATING.WE HAD HEAPS OF FUN AND CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR.

2009 RESULTS

THE YEAR STARTED WITH A TRIP DOWN TO ROCKHAMPTON FOR THE ROCKY RUSH, BUT ENDED WITH HENRY DOING A FANTASTIC DRY PATTERN ONLY TO BE SENT OUT ONLY HALF WAY THROUGH DUE TO THE FOOL ON HER BACK NOT BEING ABLE TO COUNT TO 4 SPINS, I DID 5 SPINS AND THIS GOT US KICKED OUT SO THAT SUXED, BUT ALL MY FAULT.
