Born in 1997 in Kyneton Victoria, Kaz came to WA as a 3yo, purchased by Julie of Silverdowns Arabians. I offered to train one of Julies horses and she gave me Kaz to break in. Kaz was such a delight to work with, never once put a foot wrong and was so willing to do what ever was asked of her, I had become attached. When I took her back home I was fighting the tears as I left, which must have been obvious as that night I received a phone call, Julie asked if I would like to have her. I didnt have to think about it, my answer was YES.

We then started Pony Club, Kaz was quite a natural, we competed in Dresage, Showjumping and Novelties. Making the PPMG teams. She won the high point 2'6" Showjumping trophy for the year.

Too old now for Pony Club and not really interested in Adult Riders I looked for another sport and found Endurance. We attended our first 40km ride at Wagin in May 2003 and were hooked. That year we qualified as Endurance horse status. 2004 was a very successful year for us with many wins including the state championships 90km and best conditioned, and winning best conditioned Middleweight horse of the year 2004. Kaz was then put in foal to get it out the way in time to start training again for the coming Quilty in a few years time.

2006 saw us back at it with a slow 80km, the Harvey mini 120km marathon and then our Qualifying 160km ride at Collie which we placed 2nd. We placed 2nd at the State Championships 80km Barefoot/booted. In 2007 we won the Collie 160km ride with line honours Barefoot/booted and also won best conditioned. At the 2007 State championships 160km we placed = 10th Barefoot/booted. The big moment came, the 2007 Quilty, sadly luck was not on our side, I clipped her too close to the saddle area, she suffered a nasty rub and a sore back which put us out of the ride. Maybe next time.

Kaz had a successful show career as a youngster winning champion filly at the Bendigo show and Reserve champion filly at the Victorian Classics before coming to Perth. She has had limited outings in W.A. with wins, champion and reserve champion mare and classic head. 

Kaz had a beautiful grey/bay filly on the 12th October 2011, sired by Marbling Niyazon. This fantastic filly will be looking for a home after weaning in 2012. This is a great opportunity for those who are looking for a performance horse or a show horse.

Kaz will be returning to the endurance scene late 2012 with a bit of luck to prepare for the coming WA Quilty in 2013.
