Kate is hoping to purchase an ex-race horse at the Sydney Thoroughbred Sales at the end of this month (28th September) and will bring the horse to demonstrate "Re-starting the Ex-racehorse" during the course of the weekend. Harry (Kandoo Blue Toodooloo) and Bear (Ima Little Rustler) will also be there to demonstrate.
Two trailer loading demonstration horses will be needed for the sessions on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. If you have a horse that is difficult to load (or just downright impossible - even better) and live locally, please let me know.
Two places remain on a three day riding and WEQ clinic, 25 - 27th September.
Contact Kate if you would like to join that group.
For those of you that have not yet joined, the
Kandoo Online Video Training Club is a great resource for training your horse at home. You can join for a month for less than the price of Horse Deals and a cup of coffee!
Harry is standing at stud this year.
