 After being sold to two new breed enthusiasts she had an unfortunate accident and sadly that was the last time she would show.

RIP Gypsy “Gone too soon”

In Memory of “Nero”  A TB and my first horse, who taught me so much about horse ownership.

After saving him from near starvation I turned him from a broken down racehorse (who had been quite successful in his day) to a beautiful show horse.

He was awarded second place out of 17 TB’s in a led class at Castle Hill Show in NSW. That day was one of the proudest days of my life!

Unfortunately all he knew was how to be a racehorse which was too much for my novice level of riding.

He was later sold on to a more experienced riding home and lived out the rest of his days there.

He is no doubt on horsy heaven by now. R.I.P. Nero, you will always have a place in my heart.

I later went on to discover the American Saddlebred breed and so the love affair began…….

Text Box: The changing faces and shapes of Canyonleigh Inspiration over the years. 
He was shown in hand 1996-1999.
Above is a collection of some of the shows he attended. Not all shows are represented as it was not always possible to have a photographer available. One show  we missed the class completely as I had to drop off one horse to the show and go back home to collect him by myself from home. On this day he decided he would not load on the float without an argument and I missed the class by 2 minutes!! But so not to waste his beautiful looks and preparation, Top Cat video productions offered to do a promotional video of him for free. 
Thanks to Top Cat productions for ending my day with a happy smile.

Yearling at his first show
