| Southern Equestrian Show Run by the: SA Pinto Association 4th October 2009, Strathalbyn SA |
| The weather could not have been more perfect for the Southern Equestrian Show which was run by the SA Pinto Association at Strathalbyn, South Australia, on the 4th October 2009. The show was one of the best organised shows and a huge pat on the back must go to the SA Pinto Association for all their hard work and efforts which paid off in what was a brilliant day out for all involved. The Cleveland Bays were certainly a breed to watch on the day! |
| Nikki Chadburn had Pine Country Reznor turned out beautifully (above, second from left, and left) and was one step behind Lyndsworth all day in both the CB and WB rings. Billara Beersheba and Craig Coburn did well in the CB and the WB rings - with Bill being awarded first place in the Led Warmblood Stallion class. The Clevelands certainly proved they are competitive against the other Warmblood breeds. This is a great follow on from Sandgate Supernovas success at the Adelaide Royal in September. |
| While they may have been relatively few in numbers, they were certainly noticed - and for all the right reasons! Kath Hurrell and Lyndsworth came away from the day with many wins in the Cleveland Bay and the Warmblood Rings, and were awarded Champion Cleveland Bay, and then Supreme Cleveland Bay Exhibit for the day. This was a much deserved title and as usual - Lyndsworth was turned out impeccably! CM Killarnie Ceilidh was awarded Reserve Champion Cleveland Bay, and was shown by Brian Riddle who met her for the first time a few minutes before their first class. She performed beautifully for him throughout the day in both the Cleveland Bay and Warmblood rings doing very well in both. |
| The judge in the Cleveland Bay ring was Steven Brewster - a well known gentleman in South Australia - and Kath was thrilled when Steven made comment about Lyndsworth being 'Classic'. He was really quite taken with him. There was much laughter from the Cleveland Bay contingent throughout the day and everyone really enjoyed themselves. This was Brians first experience showing a Cleveland Bay - he has just bought himself a youngster who is not yet with him, and not ready to come out to a show, so it was great for him, wife Tanya, and son Adrian to meet some more CB owners. Kerry Jervis was there to support the CBs as well as her daughter who was showing in another ring, and Kerry had organised a wonderful basket to raffle off and help the SA members sponsor some more classes at shows. |
| We hope you have enjoyed some of the photographs from the day! Lyndsworth and Pine Country Reznor were desperate for a scratch with each other, and managed to do so without damaging their plaits! |
