I have to mention what a great job the runners
and handlers did in sometimes difficult circumstances on a very warm day (i.e.
mares wanting to stick close to the fence and foals not always wanting to show
off their best paces) - well done to Sharyn, Alex, Heidi, Kaitlin, Misty, Kelly
and Kylie, a brilliant effort!
Congratulations to Remi Stud, the sponsors (Virbac
and Hyfeed Sales), the owners, breeders, presenters, families and connections of
the horses presented today. It was a very well run Open Day - the property
looked stunning and the logistics of organising so many mares and foals would
have tried the patience of a saint!
Cheryl O'Brien and Hans get a chance to relax
during classes
On a final note, I thought it was such a shame
that there weren't more people attending as it was a fantastic opportunity to
not only see the foals of the future, but also to gain some insight from one of
Germany's leading horse breeders as to what Australian breeders should be
looking for and aiming at when it comes to producing performance horses,
irrespective of the breed. Hopefully next year more people will make the effort
and experience Remi Stud's wonderful hospitality.
