Barastoc saw Kolbeach ponies take out the Champion and Supreme Ridden Riding Pony with Kolbeach Promise and Reserve Champion Ridden Riding pony was Kolbeach Circus. The Newcomer riding ponies saw many young Kolbeach faces take top honours including Kolbeach Class the 4yr RP Gelding owned by Lyn Warburton and shown by Darryl and Linda Hayes. Class displayed impeccable manners and style and we are sure this is just the start of a wonderful future for a lovely pony. Holly’s Plays another exciting youngster, owned and ridden by Sabrina Jaeschke made the trip from South Australia. Plays was the winner of the three prominent SA new comer awards in late 2008 including ShowHorse Council, Champion of Champions and The EFA HOTY Newcomer large pony of the year. He did not disappoint at Barastoc standing second in the the childrens RP 3^rd in a strong open 13.2-14.2 ridden RP class and making the finals of both the newcomer and open large pony events. A wonderful result from a fresh new Kolbeach face and one that we are sure to see a lot more of.

Open Barastoc pony NE 12.2 and K. Swell repeated her small pony runner up award of 2008 for Roger Searle and K. Promise was runner up large pony for Graeme and Sue Elliot. It was a great result for Kolbeach to have bred 3 out of the 10 large pony finalists with K. Promise, Holly’s Plays and Beach Carnival all representing the stud in fine form. K. Circus out of the hugely successful Waverley Festivity was also a finalist in the Galloway section.
