Arabian Jackpot Show 16th April 2016

Saturday the 16th April 2016 I took Sileby Kruzsader to the Arabian Jackpot Show. An arabian extravaganza show like no other. No expense was spared with the running of this show. Competitors were awarded fantastic prizes including one of a kind sculpted trophys. I entered Kruz in a number of classes. He came home with Bronze Stallion aged 4-6yo, Silver ridden Purebred Stallion and Gold Australian Pleasure.

I got to put my Arabian costume on for the first time, I had spent months and months making this costume. This was the very first time it had been on him. Took me some time to convince him it was me under all my headgear. This class was also the first ridden class of the show so considering he had a lot to cope with he didnt do too badly, however he spotted a cameraman hiding behind a bush and it was all he needed to have a little dummy spit so unfortunately we were unplaced.

We were invited to put on a little trick demonstration during the lunch break. I was so relieved that he did everything I asked him to and Im so proud of how far he has come in just 12 months, some of his tricks he had only learnt in the 2 weeks prior to this show while putting the routine together. Here you will find the video. Hope you enjoy it.

2016 Torquata All Arabian Show

19th March 2016 we attended the Torquata All Arabian show, our first show for the year. We had a huge day planned, entering over 20 classes in both halter and ridden events. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side this year and a storm saw the show cancelled due to heavy rain and lightning. This meant we missed out on the fun stuff, costume, working stockhorse and games and others.

We had a great show though and walked away with plenty of ribbons.

He placed 2nd in the WA Bred Stallion Class, 2nd Stallion aged 4yo to 6yo and Reserve champion Stallion/Colt, He placed 2nd in the Sporthorse Male class, 1st Ridden Stallion. We were invited to compete in the Ultimate Arabian class where we were awarded a finalist ribbon.

He is so much fun to work with, a real showman, he loves to fly his tail high, not out of fear, just pure pride. His ridden work is improving, Considering the limited time I have to ride and school him I think he is doing well. Onwards and upwards.

Many thanks to Katherine Scott and Chris Ros for these great photos.

2015 WA Arabian State Championships

Attended my first ever Arabian State Championships this year with Sileby Kruzsader. It was a last minute decision leaving me with 2 weeks to get him ready. I decided to enter the working stockhorse class, this meant we had a lot of work to do in that two weeks, learning flying changes, refining our rollbacks and learning ground tie. I purchased my first ever stockwhip which I had to learn to crack and had to teach Kruz to accept. It was quite a big ask but by the end of the 2 weeks I was feeling confident we could complete the routine without looking too silly.

We entered the Stallion 4-6yo class inhand where he placed first finalist = 3rd place.

Ridden stallion where we placed reserve champion.

Working Stockhorse with a solid routine we placed Champion

and Australian Pleasure where we placed First Finalist = 3rd.

I was quite pleased with our results. 2 weeks of hard work paid off. This was his second ever ridden show outing and including our two endurance training rides his 4th ever ridden outing. Despite a very excitable start under saddle, he settled into a lovely listening mount for the rest of the afternoon.

On the 5th October 2015, Sileby Krystal Nile delivered us a beautiful healthy filly by the wonderful Tora Sardeeka. a lovely little bay going grey with big blaze and socks. Spot on straight legs like mum, lovely strong body and hindquarter and a beautiful head. We got everything we were hoping for with this cross.
