Kolbeach Stud kicks off their (almost) Spring Show campaign

With the first hint of sun for what seems like months and with Adelaide Royal show looming it was time to dust off the plaiting needles and make the 5hr trek to the first of the ‘local’ agricultural shows for the season. The Crystal Brook show society continues to produce a popular and well supported show in an era when many communities are struggling to even hold a show. Kolbeach was well represented with Canberra Champion pony Kolbeach Be Free (13.2-14 winner) taking first honors. Be Free is produced by the stud. Kolbeach Symphony (13-13.2 winner) was awarded Res. Champion Large Pony for Charlie and Andrew Hunt. Also in the Champion line up was 12.2-13 winner Kolbeach Peter Pan for Stacey Faerhmann.

Across the bunting and Kolbeach made its mark in the Galloway ring with Water Lily (by Fernleigh Fine Print) taking out champion galloway for Margot Haynes with the quality Kolbeach Limelight Reserve. Limelight is owned by Jo Stewart and Rafferty Rugs. Heavyweight Galloway winner was good moving Kolbeach Marine for young Elise Williams.

The second Galloway ring saw the new celebrity of the Kolbeach show team make her debut to the eastern side of Spencer Gulf. It may have taken a few years but the famous Galloway Covers eventually added to her brood with one that Kolbeach are happy to have waited for. Kolbeach Designer, a brown mare by Fernleigh Fine Print has been blessed with the wonderful way of going her mother exhibited and the quality and temperament her father stamps his progeny with. K. Designer was awarded Champion Galloway.

Kolbeach Be Free was awarded Supreme Horse of the show.

Kolbeach at the Ekka 09

The Spring show season has kicked off with great success for Kolbeach ponies with outstanding results achieved at the Ekka. First to be awarded a blue ribbon was Louise Barton’s delightful Kolbeach Chanting in the Novice Pony 13.2-14 hands.  Chanting also won the Ridden Riding Pony 13.2-14.2.

When it was time for the Galloways to perform Kolbeach Stud was again prominent. The beautiful Kolbeach Dior shown by the experienced Corvi, Cowan and Beggs team headed the Novice 14.2-15h class with the brilliant moving Kolbeach Canasta winning the Open Lightweight Show Hunter Galloway class and going one step further by taking out the Champion Show Hunter Galloway for the Millington, Leckey and Kenzig team. Kolbeach Vogue gained a ticket to the Champion Galloway class by winning the Gentleman’s Galloway class for the Madigan family.  Also well worth a mention was the success of a shinning Kolbeach youngster being that of Kolbeach Venetian. Despite her obvious youth Venetian was 3^rd in her Novice large Galloway class and 5^th in her open class, with quality, presence and attitude; we look forward to following the progress of Venetian as a promising star of the showring for the Harper-Purcell family.

Kolbeach was also pleased to hear and report on of the success of Kolbeach ponies with their young riders in pony, riding and turnout classes.  Including K. Classic, K. Vogue, K. Surprise, K. Royal Secrets, K. Flight, K. Finest & Holly’s Signet.
