Well we made it to Werribee and back, and the gruelling 9 hour travel was well worth it in the end! All our horses showed great form and behaved very well for top ten finishes across the board. Big Teddy got a 9th place in the freestyle after losing it a bit in the big atmosphere but he hung on and stayed with me and I was very proud of him, considering he's 18 hands high you'd think he would have some courage but no, his nickname at home is actually chicken heart! Very good job from him though and all good experience for the future. His son Don Rubin (left) also got to do his 6 year old in the indoor and got a super 6th place! We love our little Toby. He's got so much potential and was a lot braver than his Dad! Littllie 4 year old Leodacaprio also excelled, gaining 8th place in his class with a small mistake in canter transition and subsequent error of course (tractor went past!) pulling down his average of 7.3 + for all paces and general impression! Again he really showed super form.
