Part of the fund raising activities undertaken by the AWHA was an auction of stallion service fees. Many members who own stallions generously donated a service to their horse. There was also a stallion parade, even though not all of the stallions that took part are yet standing at public stud. All of the owners are to be commended on the presentation and turnout of their stallions. and for me, it was a thrill to see some horses which have not yet been out in competition. |

Leading
Victorian dressage rider Emma Youngman on her delightful black imported stallion Rasputin. The horse is just 9 years old and already doing great Grand Prix. He has wowed and dazzled everyone with his maturity and great temperament and |

Frambeau by Werther and from the State Premium Stud mare Garde. This horse is really something .. so light and well balanced, Maree obviously loves riding him and he has started the changes and is showing nice collection. | ||

and Maree Tomkinson - a very attractive picture. I cannot remember seeing such a beautiful dapple grey in quite a while. |
||
 |
Dario Fo by
Don Gregory (by Donnerhall) and from the Feiner Stern mare Firedance. Now this stallion really engages well. He is led here by Manolo Mandez who is showing him for owners Ruth & Bob Piper. |

Warrantor
made life for a photographer very difficult - darting around athletically, I just could
not keep up and my poor camera had no time to adjust the focus. This lovely strong stallion was imported from Germany and stands in Kinglake for Andre and Sandra Baljeu. |
||
 |
Prince Noir - the very elegant import by Prince Thatch. He was ridden earlier in the Dressage by owner Dr. Barbara Burrows and here Sarah McDonald takes the reins. | ||

Walton and
Maree Tomkinson. This young imported stallion is by the legendary Weltmeyer and a
great asset to the Australian breeding industry. Maree is training him and has high hopes for his dressage career which she will combine with his breeding activities. |

Walton
stretches out and shows his lovely extended trot. All of the stallions were very well behaved in the rather busy atmosphere of the indoor arena at Werribee. |
