| Inaugural Kapunda Breed Show Run by the: Kapunda & Light Agricultural Show 11th October 2009, Kapunda, SA |
| The Kapunda and Light Agricultural Society has an already hectic 2 1/2 day Equine Events program at their annual show, so the addition of a Breed Show was made easier by running it a couple of weeks prior to the actual Ag Show! They did a fantastic job! |
| Above Right: Kath Hurrell and her lovely Lyndsworth were awarded Champion Led Cleveland Bay Over 3 years, and then Supreme Led Cleveland Bay, with Nikki Hurrell and Pine Country Reznor receiving Reserve Champion Led Cleveland Bay Over 3 years. Above: Kath and Lyndsworth. Right: Nikki taking long strides to trot "Norman" out. |
| Above: Billara Beersheba - Owned and exhibited by CM Sporthorses - who had travelled 8 hours to get to the showgrounds the day prior. Right: CM Killarnie Ceilidh - owned by CM Sporthorses and Exhibited by Ally Sargent, only competed in one class as she was a little sore after having scrambled in the float on the way down. |
| Left and Right: Lyndsworth. 1st in the Cleveland Bay Gelding Over 3 years class, and Best Presented Cleveland Bay. Below: CM Killarnie Ceilidh and Ally - Ally is new to Cleveland Bays and has a mare being served by Billara Beersheba at the moment, so give her about 18 months, and she will be out with her own! |
| While Ceilidh did not compete in the Cleveland Bay Classes, she stood on the sidelines watching all that was going on. She presented for the first CB class, however it was then that she was discovered to be a little off, so pulled out of the rest of the classes in that ring. |
| Kath and Nikki, once again, had their horses impeccably turned out and should be commended on their efforts. Billara Beersheba looked lovely in his roller and side reins - traditional 'dress' for CB Stallions to be shown in. Bill is a little lighter than he should be - however he is currently serving mares full time. |
| Above Left: Craig Coburn with Billara Beersheba Above Right: Ally Sargent with CM Killarnie Ceilidh in the one class she was ok to compete in (after lunch). Left: Kath Hurrell and Lyndsworth on their way to the ring for the ridden Cleveland Bay Classes. Right: Nikki Chadburn with a huge grin on her face on her way to the ring for the ridden CB classes. Below: Nikki and Pine Country Reznor strutting their stuff in the Ridden Cleveland Bay Gelding class. |
| Above Right: Lyndsworth and Kath Hurrell being sashed with 1st place in the Ridden Cleveland Bay Gelding class, and going on to be Champion Ridden Cleveland Bay. Above Centre and Right: Pine Country Reznor and Nikki Chadburn - 1st place in the Hunter Under Saddle Cleveland Bay Gelding, and Champion Hunter Under Saddle. |
| Above: CM Killarnie Ceilidh in the one class she competed in - Mare 3 yrs and over Any Registered Breed, receiving a second place to a rather lovely Chestnut mare. Right: Billara Beersheba in the lineup for Champion Any Registered Breed. The exquisite grey galloway sized gelding at the end of the lineup received this award and was completely deserving of it! |
| Above: Nikki on "Norman" (Pine Country Reznor) in the Cleveland Bay Hunter Class. Right and Above Far Right: Kath on "Josh" (Lyndsworth). Below Far Right: Billara Beersheba showing off his lovely bridle - this bridle, side reins and roller came from the UK, purchased from Janet Spencer, and were previously worn by Borderfame Prince Charming when he was competing. |
| A huge thankyou must go to Jaqui Bridge and the organisers of the Inaugural Kapunda Breed Show - it was fantastic to have the opportunity to show off the Cleveland Bays. We look forward to being back again next year and with greater numbers of Clevelands to exhibit! There are a few people 'out' this year on the SA show circuit (Cleveland Bay wise) due to injury to themselves, family or their horses. |
