DREAMTIME XZIBIT
Australian Champion
Arabian Warmblood Colt
A huge thankyou to the wonderful Team Dreamtime - especially David Warde & Brendan Russell of Kinloch Show Stables for their preparation and care of Dreamtime Xzibit! I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends!
(without their generous support Xzibit would never have gone to the show, he would be still just sitting in my paddock.)
RAINGA DIVINE
Gumbanero x Arneesha
(3yo arabian warmblood filly)
Reserve Champion Arabian Warmblood Junior mare 2009.
A wonderful win in a very strong class which was won by the outstanding mare "Lush" owned by Andrew Buckley of EB Lodge.
Rainga Divine was shown by David Warde & Brendan Russell from Kinloch Show Stables.
Owned by Lori Burgess, but now sold to Sydney to a wonderful show home. 'Dee' is being broken in by David before heading north.
It was wonderful to see Callie & Sandra James who flew down to the Aussie Champs.
Callie & Sandra are our new partners in Dreamtime Vogue and Callie showed her in the Arabian Warmblood Junior female class.
Not in the placings today, but we're sure her turn will come as she matures.
Vogue is being broken in by David Warde from Kinloch Show Stables before heading up to Callie & Sandra on the NSW Central Coast.
