Sydney CCI4*L 2024 Champions!

2025-04-14T07:12:50+10:00

Santoro has pulled through the goods! What a horse! Adding just 0.4 penalties for a second overtime in show jumping to his dressage score of 30.8, he finished on 31.2 in a hotly contested class! The last 18 months we have been through some testing times but we have persevered and he has come out the other side stronger than ever! There is a huge team behind me that make all of this possible and there will be more thank you’s to come but for now the biggest thank you must go to the Santoro Syndicate. Lisa, Karen and Andrea are [...]

Ballarat HT May 2024

2024-05-27T22:15:17+10:00

Cold morning starts were totally forgiven at Ballarat Horse Trials last week when they were followed by beautiful sunny days! In the CCI4star both Wimborne Conjuror and Santoro had a few fizzy moments in the dressage on Saturday. On the whole they both jumped well overall despite some rails on both horses and Sammy taking out a frangible pin during his cross-country round – they finished in 5th and 6th place. Big thanks to our sponsors BetaVet Australia who also came on baord and sponsored this class at the event! The star of the event was the catch ride Tulara Baltango, [...]

Santoro and Wimborne Conjuror looking fabulous at Wandin CCI! They jumped clear around the cross country and both ended up in the placings! All the while I was feeling safe and comfortable in my One K helmet, complete with the lastest MIPS technology, from EQ Saddlery. These boys are heading to Ballarat next in the 4star class, as part of their preparation for Melbourne International 3 Day Event in June! Photo credit Jessica Lee

Wimborne Caitlin

2024-03-24T03:50:01+11:00

Wimborne Caitlin was bred by Wimborne Park stud in 2017, and Sam purchased her directly from there in September 2020 when she was just turning 3. Caitlin is full sister to the 4star Wimborne Conjuror. At the time of her purchase Victoria was in the grip of Covid lockdowns but Sam was convinced this filly has what it takes to go all the way to the top. Since then Caitlin has had a combination of training and spells to allow her to grow and mature. In 2022 Caitlin had some off property experiences, including her first taste of competition at EvA80 [...]

Sydney International Horse Trials 2022

What a weekend! Feeling blessed to have such a strong team of horses making the trip to Sydney worthwhile! Santoro - 1st CCI2*L, Wimborne Conjuror - 2nd CCI2*L, & Woodmount Lolita - 3rd CCI4*S Things don’t always go to plan in the horse world but overall our Sydney event delivered! All three horses felt great all weekend and really performed in good fashion.
