Canberra CCN was first up for 2019 for our team. Sir Pepper (The Wheller family) just missing a win in the CCN2** with a close 2nd. Daisy was well behaved and came 8th. DD unfortunately was left at home with a virus and Wasabi having a quiet run in the CCN1* after having a virus a few weeks prior. Equestriad was to follow with a full truck for Stuart. All our CCI4* horses came in 8th,10th,11th and 12th- All pulled up fabulously and ready for another event.

‘Quirindi was an awesome event with great OC and going, plus strong enough course in the top levels.

We had very pleasing results with all CCI3* horses, DD 5th, Sir Pepper 7th, Daisy 13th. BUT the best result was Elisabeth Brinton’s Celebration winning the CCI4*. Yes, we did Celebrate, after our long trip home.

Thankfully the punishing summer weather is behind us! Equestriad and Quirindi were examples of the summer leaving (hmm maybe not the Sunday @ Equestriad!). All our horses are being so enjoyable at home and at events with super performances at all three of their first 2019 ode’s.

GREAT NEWS is that Gemma and The Pittard’s Annapurna has been selected as a Reserve combination for the AUS verse NZ Oceania Championships in NZ next month. This is great opportunity for them to be part of EA HP team training. Thank you, EA HP 🙂

SYDNEY International 3de 26th-28th APRIL – follow and support this event -it’s shaping up with great numbers, trade stands, tailgating parking, Riders and Owners tent PLUS the Horseland Hospitality tent.

Stuart (and Shane) were invited to ride in an entertainment section, The 6 bar, at The Sydney Royal Easter Show. Our own Leporis jointly won jumping 1.75m along-side Shane and the famous Vicki Roycroft, who is the bright age of 66! -it was fun plus a great crowd.

Just a reminder that it is that time of year when you need a broad spectrum all wormer- abamectin plus morantel Tartrate for bots. We highly recommend AMMO. It is what we use, safe, easy and works!

Our horses travel on PROTEQ bedding. Helps them not slip if wet, limited dust and smell. Come take a look at events if you want more information.

Welcome back to Tinney Eventing 2019! Jan was all about R and R for all the Tinney’s plus horses. Always the 1st event to get our horses out is The Wallaby Hill Extravaganza. ALWAYS a great day, loved every minute of it! Thanks again to Alex and Derek who open their fabulous property for us all to parade around dressed up and just having fun with our 4-legged friends. Stuart always likes to get his ‘hair down!’ or ON more like it. Gemma taking on a Shane Rose look alike! Very scary… Diabolo doing a bit of dressage. Great going, great weather.

Once we had recovered from Wallaby Hill the Tinney’s did an outing to our local Arcadia Pony Club coaching and presenting CopRice samples/hats and feed for the Raffle. Medals were out and kids loved it.

GEMMA long listed for the Oceania Champs – Well done GEM and ANNA

February /March is the start of the Eventing season and with such a dry winter and summer it’s been just awesome having the best feed in the barn-CopRice. We include feeding lots of roughage (hay). With feeding more HIGH JOULE, the horse’s coats are gleaming. We have also found VETERAN a plus with its high protein and balanced energy. CopRice always have the edge on their premium feeds. They have a feed to match every horse. More info or advice on our feeding program send us a message:)

CopRice feed pics  plus Lesley in pond.

HOT HOT HOT ! CEVA can help

This summer has been off the dial heat and humid wise. Even Lesley jumped in with the fish to cool down!! TE start early to help the horses work and recover better than later in the day. Again, we use CEVA brand products orally to help them. More info or advice, message us.

Featuring Lynton- Albury and Adelaide 4*

We took a team to Lynton HT – CIC which is always a fabulous event, with no exception this Oct. Gemma with Tim Games DIABOLO 4th CIC** and LEPORIS 6th plus the beautiful CELEBRATION 6th CIC*** owned by Elisabeth Brinton- The others all went well and completed their section. All jumping round clear XC and SJ, just taking it easy XC with time of the younger horses.

Pics x 3 Leporis, Celebration and Raffles

We thank John and Jane Pittard for their ongoing   support, plus we thank Annapurna -we put all our trust in her to bring Gem home safely which she did 😊

Stuart entered 2 horses for Adelaide- Raffles (War Hawk) plus Leporis- He also was asked to be the AMBASSADOR, which was a huge honor for him. He did a Masterclass plus a course walk which fitted well into his schedule. Briefly our own Leporis did a fab test 33- then was awesome XC, the 2 star was a test with some seriously narrow fences, however time achievable and only took out 1/3rd of the class!! (unlike the 4 star) The showjumping, again no surprises but only 3 clear rounds- Leo one of them, giving him 2^nd place. – It was agreed that if Raffles had a problem early Stuart would retire and go onto 3star Wallaby Hill. In hindsight maybe should have kept going as podium finish still carried a 20! So, onto Wallaby Hill- Will keep you all posted! Last event of the Year! Look out for our Christmas slide show 🙂 Thanks for being there for us on this year’s journey- Especially our main sponsors- CopRice, Bates, Horseland and Ceva- Also Proteq and Ecomist- Owners, John and Jane Pittard, Elisabeth Brinton, and Tim Game.  Forever grateful. TE

With WEG now behind us -we can now concentrate on our own team of horses back here in AUS. It has not been too bad Stuart being away for parts of this year, it gave the young horses some time to mature and grow in their training. With Stuart only getting back into the Country 3 days prior to Canberra CIC, the pressure was on us riders here at home to see if we had done a good enough job!! Thank fully all the ponies went well, so we keep our jobs!!

CANBERRA was somewhat hectic with 9 horses in all from TE barn. 6 rides for Stuart, 2 rides for Gemma and 1 ride for Tara Rogers our rider- As much as we all love Eventing, this was a stretch for us all!! Thank you to Kerry (owner of Sir Pepper) for your help plus evening entertainment!! Plus, Gemma’s girls Fin and Tish- you are now icing experts 🙂

Just a snap shot of which horses Stuart competed and how they went. In the CIC2.5* Our own WAR HAWK did a fabulous event with some time CC to place 4th. Our own LEPORIS stepped up and looked awesome in the CIC** again time CC placing 6th. The 2 girls Daisy and DD solid in the 1 star with a 5th and 8th. Elisabeth Brinton’s CELEBRATION only dressage and SJ this event (a little too pudgy for CC but he will start again at Goulburn) Alice Wheller’s SIR PEPPER looking better every event with a 10th CIC*.

The timing of lack of winter events for us here at TE certainly slotted in with Stuarts commitments at WEG plus a trip to the UK for a family wedding plus some non-horsey activities on the Cornish coast for Karen and Irene (mum) Canberra was a great run for our horses, Gemma’s too, with Tim Games DIABOLO moving into the CIC** and The Pittards ANNAPURNA having a run to the water – With Adelaide in their sights.  Events coming up for TE- Goulburn State Championships, Albury CIC followed by The Australian 3DE (Adelaide) then close to home Wallaby Hill 3DE.
