What a extended weekend away it was the other week at the Off The Track carnival Boneo Park
It’s such a great initiative put on by off the track, Racing Victoria and Boneo Park to showcase the amazing Tbs in their life after racing. In its second year it just continues to get bigger and better with over $260k in prize money across 4 days and 4 different disciplines, what a fabulous event and big congrats to Tracey Button, Mel and the ott and boneo team, you are all amazing!
The boys and I headed down for the 4 days with dressage first up on the Friday
Stanley did two lovely tests in the prelim section to finish 7th in the 1.2 and 2nd in the 1.3 to finish 3rd overall in the championship ☺️
Denman was out for his second elementary run with his first only 2 weeks earlier so we are still new to the level but he rose to the occasion. I think he loved showing off to all the people watching in the main arena. Still a few things to work on but he came away with 6th in the 3.3 and big improvements in his scores from his first run 2 werks earlier 🙌🏻 Unfortunately, he took a disliking to the speakers right next to the arena for the 3.2, so it was a tense test to drop us down but still finished 10th overall in the championship. Big things ahead for the big boy 💕
Saturday was combined training day for Stanley and what a star he was. Was fitting a close second after dressage so the pressure was on for the jumping phase and my special boy came through with a clear round. The leader had the last fence down which saw us that the win and the championship, i couldn’t be prouder and still pinching myself. All the hours, sacrifice and hard work payed off 🥰🥰
He was a very tired boy for sj on Sunday in the 90cm with an unlucky rail in both his rounds but he handled the atmosphere so well in the main arena I’ve got no complaints. What a suoerstar he is. Hes actually won more off the track than what he ever did on the track 🤣😂
I’m so very lucky to have two talented TBs that enjoy their job and new careers after racing 🐴💕
Big shout out to Sam Antha for being a fabulous camping Neighbour and congrats on your very successful weekend.
