TYLANI HOGMENA  -  F19/P1*  -  145 cms

(Moonie Argentina/Glenormiston Oliver)

'Neigh', as she is known by her friends, is an 8 year old buckskin purebred Connemara mare owned and ridden by Kaitlyn Hoppe from Bundaberg, Qld.

Purchased from the breeder in 2005, Kaitlyn has had a lot of success of late with her mare. At the 2006 EFA Qld Young Rider Championships, the pair placed 5th and 6th in the Pony Preliminary section and then went on to the Sunshine Coast Dressage Champs to take out Reserve Champion Preliminary Pony. At the EFA Qld State Dressage Champs in 2006, they won Reserve Champion Preliminary Pony and subsequently took out the Most Improved Dressage Pony at the 2006 EFA Qld. Dressage Award night. They missed out on taking out the Preliminary Pony of the Year by 1%.

To top off their year, Kaitlyn and 'Neigh' won the 2006 ASPR Annual High Point Junior Dressage Award along with the 'Sandra Reagan Memorial Award'  for ponies competing at a Preliminary level.

The time and dedication shown by Kaitlyn has resulted in the pair being chosen on the 2007 Qld Pony Dressage Squad.

Kip is a 10 year old purebred New Forest Gelding owned by Kapeta New Forest Pony Stud of Euroa in Victoria. Kip began his very successful career with Stud Principal Kate Sherwood and is currently being ridden by daughter, Ellen.

A true allrounder pony, Kip has many wins and places in dressage and eventing to his credit, including the 2006 Barastoc Working Galloway Hunter of the Year, 2007 Barastoc Champion Working M & M Hunter and Barastoc Champion Ridden NF of the Year.

At the 2007 National Young Riders and Pony Championships, Kip and Ellen took out a 3rd & 4th places in the National Preliminary Pony tests against a very strong field. They saddled up the next day to place a very creditable 8th and 11th in the National Novice Pony tests.

Young Ellen has now started competing Kip at Preliminary level in eventing and we look forward to their continued success.

At the recent ASPR 2007 Victorian Pony Dressage Challenge, Kip placed 3rd in the Pony 6 Bar event, paired with Kapeta Prelude to win the Pas de Deux, placed 3rd in the Novice Freestyle and won Champion Official Novice Pony.

Llanarth Jack Flash Imp)

Jack is a 12 year old Section D Welsh stallion who has long proved his capacity as an allrounder pony with a wonderful temperament that he allows the occasional beginner and nervous rider to jump on board.

Owned by Norm Clark of Tatura in Victoria, there isn't much that Jack hasn't tried his 'hoof' at. He has won major awards at Barastoc Horse of the Year Shows, National Welsh and Victorian All Welsh Shows as well as many wins and placings in dressage and jumping.

Jack's most recent results are from the ASPR 2007 Victorian Pony Dressage Challenge where he placed 2nd in the Pas de Deux (paired with his ASPR 1st Premium son, Fluer de Lys Jack Daniel, 2nd in the Medium/Advanced freestyle and completed a succesful weekend with Reserve Champion Official Medium Pony and the High Score Stallion Award.

AL NEBU FAHIL  -  S17/P1*  -  140 cms

'Cisco' is a buckskin stallion of unknown, but obviously quality breeding. He was assessed with the ASPR as a First Premium* Pony in early, 2007. At approximately 12 years old and after owning him for only 2 1/2 years, Cisco is advancing through the pony dressage ranks for owner Amber Curtin and trainer Helena Shanal with great success.

Cisco already has to his credit many wins at Preliminary and Novice level, including Champion Novice Dressage Pony at the 2006 Sydney Royal. A few months later, Cisco was out and winning at Elementary level. He is now training at Medium/Advanced level and has over 100 points on his performance card.

Cisco has recently been sold and it is hoped that his new owner will enjoy him and have as much success as Amber and Helena.
