KEA TEAM BLASTS INTO THE NEW YEAR!!
The KEA Team had a very well behaved New Years Eve as we prepared our new team for
2010 for their first show at the Hawkesbury Hills Hack Association on the 3rd of January.
Christina King-Andrews won the prestigious Champion Large Hack with her beautiful hack
Robali Renoir kindly leased to us by the Leckie Family.
Rochelle King Andrews rode the newcomer galloway Lanvin for owner Jason Ryan
to win Newcomer class and the Intermediate Large Galloway. Lanvin is only 3 years
old and recently broken in, so she made her dad Jason very proud with her immaculate
manners and performance. Lanvin will be a force to be reckoned with when she hits
her straps. She is elegant yet moves with power and grace and has that shimmering
charisma particular to top class thoroughbred.
Jade Garel rode her baby Champagne and Roses to an easy win in the Newcomer Hack.
Champagne and Roses was also broken in recently and she just oozes quality. We look
forward to many more superlative performances from her in 2010!
John Walker riding for Karen Townsend on KT Fine Fashion was pleased with his
Champion Galloway.
When you are on a roll…

Challenger Jacaranda SMASHES them at Sydney CDI***
Jacaranda has collected some smashing scores, an 83.6 at the CDI putting him in the first place and eventual top three. He has just won two firsts with 76% at NSW Dressage Council in Preliminary and won a young horse qualifier with a giant score at Salt Ash. The King-Andrews have received offers from everywhere, including Germany, to buy him! Not surprisingly, he is not for sale. Now or ever! He is Greg’s absolute pride & joy and Schelle’s favourite!
Joep has won at the very competitive NSW Dressage Council in the young horse qualifier. Charlotte, as the youngest rider at the CDI***, was top ten in the 4 year old class! Charlotte aims to be on the young rider squads with Joep and the way he has been winning, it won’t be long before she gets there. Charlotte leaves to train in Europe in July. Her family is based there and she will continue to train yearly with Europe’s top trainers!
