Double O Seven - James was the
horse that took me from Pony Club to Advanced
eventing. A wonderful horse with a super
jump. He was a fantastic all rounder being
Advanced (3*) Eventing, Advanced/PSG Dressage
and a 'B' Grade showjumper. Career
highlights include winning Goondiwindi CCI2* in
1998 and winning two 'B' Grade showjumping
classes at Toowoomba Royal. James is still
a member of our family and is still ridden
(Dressage only) by my Mum at the grand old age
of 21.
Lion King -
Probably my once in a lifetime horse.
Stunning looks, amazing movement and phenomenal
jump. Together we won the Lochinvar CCI2*
and the Adelaide CCI3*
in 2000 and the same year won the NSW State
Championships. We were members of the
National Elite Squad from 2000-2002. We were
awarded Queensland Horse and Rider of the Year
three times. An amazing athlete that I was
fortunate enough to ride. Now happy,
healthy and retired in Queensland.
Striking Heights - Purchased in 2001 as
a three star eventer. A fantastic horse
that had a super temperament and was easy to
ride. Very nice movement and a great
careful jump, rarely had a rail in competition.
In 2002 we won the Adelaide CCI3* by a margin of
over 15 points. In 2003 we represented
Australia as a member of the Trans Tasman Squad
that competed in Taupo, New Zealand were we
finished 5th individually. A member of the
National Elite squad in 2002 and 2003. Shortly
after Taupo Striking Heights was sold to Susanna
Bordone from Italy.
WP Midnight Oil
Baz is a
lovely young horse that is proving to be very
successful in all disciplines. He has won
at Intro eventing and placed at Prelim level.
He was won at official dressage and won the 4
year old Young Event Horse class at Sydney Three
Day Event which was judged by Andrew Hoy and
Rodger Fitzharding. Baz has wonderful
paces a good jump and amazing quiet and
trainable temperament. Baz was sold in
2009 to a lovely home in WA.
We were
pleased for him to head to the other side of the
country so that we do not have to compete
against him! I am sure he and his new
owner will have heaps of success together.
Southern X Earl Grey - A
talented but difficult horse that competed at 3*
level. He was however too strong for me
and therefore was sold to a bigger stronger
rider.
Dane W Brown - A lovely horse
that I purchased from the racetrack. He
was a favourite of mine, beautiful looking bay
with four white socks and white blaze.
Very good movement and rarely beaten in the
dressage combined with a careful jump. I
competed him up to 1* level before being sold to
pay for our dressage arena at home.
Yarrawin Jamaica
- I talented horse
with super movement and a great jump. A
hot little mare that was difficult to keep calm
for the dressage however on the cross country
course she was neat, nippy and cleaver, a really
fun ride. Now a member of Rachel Lee's
broodmare herd and I have heard she is producing
super foals.
Shellby Park Dominic - I
beautiful big horse with big movement and a good
jump. Winner at Pre Novice level before
being sold to China.
Ladybrook Valley View - A super
talented young horse that no doubt will be a
star of the future. Now owned by Judy

Statford Mojave - A lovely
horse with good movement and jump. An
outstanding temperament and shows maturity
beyond his years. Now owned and ridden by
Sophie Warren from Western Australia.
Noble Instinct - A very
attractive horse with super movement and a big
bold jump. I saw him at the track and put
dibs on him for when he finished racing. I
rode him up to 1* before selling him on.
He now lives the life of luxury at Wallaby Hill
Farm.
Midnight Chapel
- A very exciting horse that competed
at one star level with success.
Unfortunately this horse died during surgery for
colic. A promising horse that's career was
sadly cut short.
Statford Mantovani
- A beautiful gentle stallion. That
won many Prelim events. 'Matt' was stunning with
lovely paces and a great jump and the most
amazing temperament. His progeny are now
