Queensland Police Games Equestrian 2009




The annual Queensland Police Games Equestrian - All Breeds Performance Show was held at the Burpengary Equestrian Centre on the 18th September.
The Games were open to all Police Services and Emergency Services employees and their immediate family members. It was a great day to spend with family and friends enjoying a variety of equestrian events.

The Judge on the day was the very experienced and capable Leanne Bartlett, and was assisted by steward Karen Peek. Leanne is a NRHA International & Reining Australia judge, and has been an AQHA and Open HSAA Judge for many years.

You couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise, it was fine and warm. It was almost a little too warm on the grass arena at times, but there was a welcomed breeze that kept things cool.

The very happy duo Lisa Caie and Anicara showed to the best of their ability and were rewarded for their efforts with the gold medal in the Led Hack event.

Western Performance multiple class winners - Susan Maxwell and the very eye catching paint horse gelding Something Picture Perfect smile for the camera.

There was a good variety of events including Led, Western Performance, English Performance, Hacking, Jumping, Sporting. The Harness events were the last classes of the day but by no means any less enjoyable.

Ian Taylor and Mistabar Legend Spirit are shown here putting on an impressive performance in the Open Pleasure Driving. After the results were tallied they took out an honourable reserve placing and a silver medal.

Kim Charlton aboard her beautiful coloured gelding Wordsmith were a captivating team to watch as they went through their paces in style and won gold as the Open Hack Champions.

Carla Adams and Go With The Flow jumped a clear and bold round to take out gold in the Open Working Hunter event.
