GALA WEEKEND
June 14th & 15th 200
Sydney International Equestrian Centre
Report by Berni Saunders - Page 4
Sunday 15th June 2003 - Classes 8, 9 & 11

These classes were sponsored by Victoria Ferguson - Equine (and animal)  Herbalist.  Victoria is known to Dressage enthusiasts for her wonderful achievements with Gamekeeper.  This striking gelding was 'short listed' for Olympic selection and Victoria won most of the prestigious Australian competitions.  She has remained a keen supporter of quality horses and as such agreed to take part in this Gala Weekend.  She has become the sponsor of Vicky Robertson who is also making her mark at the high levels of dressage.  Victoria said - I will be very pleased to think that my contribution will make Vicky's road to success just that little bit easier.

Harvest Jackalyn
Argentille Grenadier-Northern Catherine.
(dam of Yardley Aphrodite) 
She is a half sister to Harvest Aragorn  who
also won his class at this event.		 harvestjackalyn1.jpg (22388 bytes)
Harvest Jackalyn is by Argentille Grenadier from the good producer - Northern Catherine.   She is a skopey horse with outstanding potential for dressage or jumping.  Her pedigree gives her strength in both areas.  She had a great weekend and pleased her connections enormously.

Argentille Barbarella makes it 1st and 2nd for  Val d'Argent stallions!  This striking 3 yo mare is by Argentille Biathlon and from a Kilof McOhl mare.
She is in foal to Flemmingh.		 glenbonnetfleurdelys2.jpg (17414 bytes)

Glenbonnet Fleur de Lys - picture taken in an earlier class.  A wonderful prospect but perhaps a little immature.  She is by Fidji from the mare Glenbonnet Arctic Fox by Aachimedes.
