Daylesford's pony posse prove they are made of the ride stuff

02 Feb, 2010 12:47 PM
SEVERAL riders from the region successfully represented Daylesford Rideability at the Royal Agricultural Society Summer Horse Show at Werribee on Australia Day.

Riders competed in one of four divisions, depending on their level of riding experience and riding ability, rather than their medical condition.

Amy Harrison and Amber Jepson competed in their first show and rode in division one along with Morgan Liddle-Webb.

Gabrielle Kaye and Emily Hunt had both competed previously and rode in division two. Rideability veterans Lainey Shellew and David Rak rode in division three.

Boomerang Ranch's Tipperary Springs Ruby was ridden by Amy Harrison in division one, Emily Hunt in division two and Lainey Shelled in division three.

Ruby's performance led to her being awarded the Libby Webb Trophy for the best horse or pony used in an RDA Centre.

Lainey Shellew, who has been riding with RDA for many years and who has recently applied to train as an assistant coach, was awarded the Rebecca Greaves Memorial Trophy for the most deserving rider on the day of competition.

Thanks to Brendan Cook from Boomerang Ranch and Gabi Francis, Glenlyon for providing horses, Tipperary Springs, Ruby and Tammy.
