Abbey Rimmer Equine

Going to do my best to keep this page updated again as I head into my 4th (!!) year in Australia with a some super exciting horses & opportunities.

Whilst my main job is polo grooming & whipping in for the hunt, I’m very lucky to have a little team of jumpers and eventers developing in the background. They have been enjoying a nice summer break while priority was on Ellerston Polo & then the young polo ponies, but it was great to get a few out jumping yesterday for their first outing this year.

First up was 5yo polo pony, Grantham. He’s been with us since a 3yo and has been showing a lot promise to make it as a hunter too. He is an incredibly natural jumper & despite only having jumped rustic fences and hunt jumps at home, loved his first time seeing coloured sticks. Two very confident clear rounds in the 50/60 and 60/70 for him.

Then we moved onto 5yo Clydie X, Paddington. She started her jumping career last year with a couple of shows and was very happy to be back out again for two very confident clear rounds in the 60/70 and 70/80.

Finally we had Mayfair out for her first outing since Ellerston 1* last year. Another confident clear in the 80/90 and just a pole in the 90/100 to get her prepped for the 95 event at Quirindi next weekend.

A big thank you to Hunter Valley Showjumping club for a great training day, Diane Smith for the photos, and Scott and Anna McCreery for the never ending support and the chance to get these horses out jumping !
