We first introduced you to Wee Mini Cooper as a newborn foal in December 2010.

Cooper is forever on the move, be it playing with his range of toy balls, curiously keeping an eye on his older horsey friends as they get their daily exercise or showing off cruising down the jumping lane. Since Cooper was a month old he had been jumping some little cavalletti jumps that happen to be set up in the paddock where he roamed with his dam, Clarsym Spyder. After he was weaned, he was let out into the jumping paddock where on his own accord, followed the fence line and started using the jumping lane.

Rubin made his New Zealand showing debut in January 2010 at the North Island All Breeds Show, taking out Champion Warmblood, Supreme Champion Warmblood and under a panel of six judges was named Supreme Champion Stallion of the Show!

 

Over the winter months, the focus has shifted to Rubin’s dressage career with him in full time training with Cindy’s riding coach and accomplished Grand Prix dressage  rider, Scott McKenna. Training in the higher level movements it is anticipated Rubin will have his first Prix St George start next season.

 

On the breeding side of things, Rubin enjoyed a huge book of mares from all over New Zealand last season. Along with the other mare owners, Cindy is eagerly awaiting her first crop of Rubin foals due later in the year.

Update on Bevanlee After Dark...
Photo Credits: Mendip Farm Photography

Bevanlee After Dark made the trip across the Tasman late last year to stand at Kiva Arabians. Recently, Bonni Paul has given us an update on what Piper has been up to since his arrival...

Piper made his New Zealand debut at the New Zealand Arab Horse Breeders Society Championship Titles Show. This show is the pinnacle of our showing calender, a very illustrious show to attend and compete at. This year we competed under judge Richard Petty from the USA at the Canterbury Showgrounds on the South Island, for us it was a huge three day trip to get there.

Piper trotted up a storm to be sashed New Zealand National Champion Senior Derivative under 148cm, and to prove that consistency is the true champion was sashed New Zealand National Champion Derivative Amateur to Handle, exhibited by me.

Judge Richard Petty commented after his win in the this class..... "My favourite horse of the day thus far - a true quality pony''.

Piper had another outing at the 2010 Royal Easter Show at the Auckland Showgrounds. Piper yet again trotted his way into the ribbons being sashed Champion Led Pony Stallion and Champion Arabian Derivative Stallion.

At both venues the reception he recieved was just as expected, as he strutted his stuff the show hacky people could not help themselves and had to come over and meet him. By the last day of the Royal Easter Show he had a huge entourage of people coming over to give him carrots and generally bestow upon him the adoration he so deserves! When you see him gingerly prising a fragment of carrot from a tiny tots hand the ribbons pale in comparison to the amazing pony that is Piper, he truly is the complete package - looks, trot and temperament. What more could a girl ask for?

2010 Sydney Royal Easter Show

The most prestigious show of the year, promoted as the third largest in the world, the EBL team were all eager and rearing to go!

EBL One Night In Paris caught the eyes of everyone she floated past. With her astonishing presence this filly certainly made an impact. Winning Led ANSA Filly 3 years and the Arabian Derivative Filly 3 years and over 14hh & n.e.15hh, Paris then went on to win Champion Arabian Derivative Mare of Filly. and later sashed Supreme Champion Arabian Derivative! What a fantastic debut for her first Royal Show, this beautiful filly is certain to collect many accolades in the future.

Miss Diva trotted it out to win Led Riding Pony Filly 3 years 11.2hh n.e 13hh. An exciting win in a line up of well known ponies.

The wonderful Willowcroft Regal Emblem competed under saddle in various classes throughout the week taking it all in his stride to win his Ridden Pony Arabian Derivative Stallion 5 years with Rider over 17 years and Australian Saddle Pony Stallion over 11hh & n.e 14.2hh. Later competing in the Ridden Riding Pony Stallion ‘Jimmy’ placed second. Congratulations to Willowcroft Stud!

Avondale Magician proved his true style winning his Led ANSA Colt 2 years and under and Led Arabian Derivative Colt under 3 years, beating a strong line up of stunning colts. Later being sashed Champion Led Arabian Derivative Stallion or Colt. Only missing out on Supreme Champion sash to another E.B. Lodge exhibit, this colt promises a successful future. Congratulations to his owner, Cheree Hughan on yet another great win!

Sanbar Ebony And Ivory aka 'Heather', was actually too small for the measurer's stick when being measured. After sorting out that dilemma, it was off to her class where she won the Miniature Pony filly 2 years and under. Heather was right at home in the main arena showing spectators her ‘cool bananas’ personality. Loved by all, Heather sure made an impact!

A big thank you must go to all who were involved in the madness that this show brings every year! Also, credit is due to the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW on an extremely well run show, the logisitcs of organising that many horses in one place would be most challenging!
