1st August

On the most wintery and wet of days today, we took Cooramin Don Aloha (Duggie) to his first show – an allbreeds youngstock show at Holbrook.  Thankfully the rings were all under cover!  Duggie made us SO proud, not only behaving beautifully, but bringing home two champions and a supreme champion in the large breed ring!!  What a start to his showing career!  The judge commented on his lovely neck set, quality movement and beautiful head and said that he would make a lovely hack.  He attracted many comments and enquiries from fellow competitors, which made us all very proud.

I am battling with a desire to keep him as he is such a pleasure to work with, not to mention his close bloodline relationship with my retired FEI horse Aloha Titan, but reality dictates that he must be sold.  He will be advertised next month, so please feel free to contact me if you are interested.  He could have a career in both dressage and showing and will make someone a truly special partner.  I will cry when this one is sold!

Below are some photos from the show.
