We could not be any prouder of our little man Windenvale Sirocco (bred by TriColby) he well and truly out did himself with his awesome calm nature and willingness to please.
It made my day when people said "wow I didn't realize he was a Stallion until I saw the green disc, he is just so chilled standing there" when we where in line for the next lot of events. Next year I will be riding him, so to have a Stallion standing quietly around mares and gelding, is a must for me.

This was Rohan and Septarian's very first show and as 2yr olds, a big massive congrats to Katie, Sky and the team they looked fantastic !!! you guys have done a great job with them, specially with all the wind.
The Sunflower Sn**ch was so funny, it was only Sirocco's 5th time pulling a slide (2nd time snatching) and just before we maked our turn to come back home (to put the sunflowers back) my snatcher (Shayne) phone started to ring, the audience yelled "answer it" so she did ... and we proceed finishing the course with Shayne making plans to help out with the liberty demo that was about to start in 30min .... it was pretty funny ... you had to be there.
I did bring Dragons Heart Mystique with me too, (who was in season floating beside Sirocco), but it was so windy plus her first time out, and unfortunately, she got two big scares very close together when I took her out of her pen for the first time, so we didn't make it in to the show ring this year, as it was more important that I was able to have her walking around happy, than push her into the red zone (the Cobb & Co Coaches, team of 6 horses are very scary to a lot of horses), with the strong winds Sat-Sunday morning and with so much stuff flapping about, it just was not worth it at this point and time, but she will be back.
I have to say a massive THANK YOU to Shayne, who is always there for me, even when she has a lot on her plate, and thank you to Viarna, Clare, Pete and Sascha for all your help and encouragement, to help me make the leap to driving a slide... Thank you Guys... and thank you to Darling Downs Heavy Horses, I love your festival, I can't wait for next year, when I'm forced to push my boundaries further.
