| Breed O Rama - 13th December 2009 Mt Crawford Dressage Grounds, South Australia |
| Sunday the 13th of December was a beautiful day weather wise - it could have been a couple of degrees cooler, but it wasnt bad considering the temperatures we have been having of late! The flies were out in force - if you see any specks in the photos - chances are they are flies!!! We had a fantastic turnout of Cleveland Bay Sporthorses and SA CBHSA Members!!! There were SIX CBSH's at the show which was fantastic to see! |
| Bill Henderson was called upon to judge the Andalusian and the Cleveland Bay Ring - his efforts were very much appreciated. Teresa Taylor hit the showring herself once again - she has her enthusiasm back after having lost it for quite some time with one thing and another and is raring to go once more. She was not disappointed - she brought Ballantyne Auburn (the mare in the very top two photos) and Ballantyne Colours (the gelding with the blaze) along to the show and went home with two Champions with Auburn, and a couple of placings with Bob (Colours). |
| A first timer in the Cleveland Bay ring was Nicky Ferris and her lovely gelding Iramoo Valentine. He is a 7 yr old grandson of Gillshaw Caliph and is also Part Arabian. Nicky is pictured above leading her boy out for the judge. At right, Nikki Chadburn is holding her lovely Pine Country Reznor who is wearing the first place ribbon in his class. Below is the remainder of the lineup. |
| Kath Hurrell and her gorgeous boy Lyndsworth also competed, with Nikki Chadburn running him out for her as the ground was pretty slippery under foot with the grass and there were lumps and bumps in the ground. Craig & Michelle Coburn took along their stallion, Billara Beersheba - having travelled over from the Eyre Peninsula again for the show. At right you can see Bill Henderson sashing Ballantyne Auburn with her Champion ribbon - she went on to get herself the Supreme Led Cleveland Bay or Cleveland Bay Sporthorse. Below is Ballantyne Auburn, Below Centre is her full brother (younger), Ballantyne Colours - both are out of Ballantyne Gracie and by the TB, Flamingo Cloud. dBelow Right: Nikki Chadburn and Lyndsworth. |
| It was pointed out through the day that all 6 horses that were present in the CB ring at Breed O Rama went back to Gillshaw Caliph. Lyndsworth is by Gillshaw Caliph. Pine Country Reznor is by Sandgate Reznor who was by Gillshaw Caliph. Iramoo Valentine is out of a mare by Gillshaw Caliph. Billara Beersheba is out of Billara Killari who is by Gillshaw Caliph. Ballantyne Auburn and Ballantyne Colours are out of Ballantyne Gracie, who was by Clareborough Bounty - a purebred who was of course by Gillshaw Caliph. |

| The SA CB Promotional Group has another nice amount in the kitty thanks to Kerry Jervis - Kerry organised a wonderful raffle once again and sold a lot of tickets at $2 each, all of which will go back into promoting the CB in South Australia and topping up sponsorship at shows! Breed O Rama was postponed from earlier in the year - and it was a great finish to 2009 for the Cleveland Bays! Roll on 2010 and the fantastic program that is being organised for CB owners and enthusiasts! |
