As you would expect the top ten Galloways were outstanding. It would have been only a question of personal preference from the judges that would allow them to separate this wonderful show horses. The riders must be commended for their care in presentation. It was a very hot day - the first one for Melbourne's Summer - and yet they all seemed composed, and completely focused on presenting their horses to best advantage. |

Last years winner - Good Will Hunting and Pam Ahern. I never get tired of watching this combination. Pam is such a perfectionist and is prepared to put in the effort to ensure that everything is just right. | ||
 |
For Good Will Hunting (Pokie) and Pam it was a foot perfect workout, as is indicated in the picture of his beautifully balanced canter. The horse was soft and flowing .. what else could they do? | ||
 |
Even in the hand gallop Pokie remained attentive and on the aids. At the end of this workout, I had a feeling that it may well have been enough to put them ahead of the horses so far ! | ||

Silkwood Celebrity - the nomination of Miss J. Jacobson and ridden by the 2001 Garryowen Trophy winner - Margot Hayes from Undarra in South Australia. | ||
 |
Margot works with Chris and Vicky
Lawrie and is the niece of Helen Heagney so there is a wealth of showing experience behind
Margot. This galloway did not have the exciting trot that made some of the other galloways really stand out. |

 |
TT Desert Pea - nominated by the Walsh Family and ridden by Briony Payne. | ||
 |
TT Desert Pea - a lovely type and was 'right up there' in the quality of the workout. | ||
 |
Miss Sally Thomas rides her own
Mirinda Showcase. A very clean and accurate workout. Even though I am sure this horse has a little pony in his breeding, he represented the more 'old fashioned' type. |
||
 |
Mirinda Showcase appears to have a very nice nature. | ||
