NEW ARRIVAL

Summer Show 2010

Hours and Hours of hard work and perseverance by all associated with the Camilla family came to a head at the Summer Show held at the Afridome Parys from 24/11/2010 to 27/11/2010. Spirits were high and excitement in abundance as we headed off to participate in the show, even the horses boxed easily and eagerly as if they too knew what lay ahead. Our camp site was erected and the horses were placed in their stables in no time, grooming the horses commenced, getting the horses settled and orientated was our priority...

Ocker Bruyns joined the Camilla family earlier this year as Stable Manager and Trainer, in his own quiet way he has earned the respect of the animals and people alike, through his love for the animals, knowledge and sheer dedication, the results obtained are testament to this. Chris Hartman, Jenna’s trainer, has recently taken on the huge challenge of schooling Jackermister who, when all is said and done, is still just a naughty little boy however his progress is apparent. Chris’s patience with the animals, perseverance, dedication and calming effect on both Jackermister and Jenna is a true asset to our stud. Jackermister and El Kader far exceeded our expectations. Jackermister, having never been in the show ring before, is four years old and has only been under saddle for a few months. He competed in the Geldings three years and older and won the class, then went on to win the Championships of that class which was Junior Gelding Champion. El Kader who going on five years of age competed in his second show ever, El Kader competed in many classes and did very well in all, he definitely upped his game over the last few months, this is very apparent when comparing his last show results to this years summer show results. El Kadar won the Junior Country Pleasure Horse, Junior English Pleasure Horse as well as the Summer Show Champion Junior Costume Horse, among other things Jabaar and Zaheem who have both been recently sold to Mohammed of KZN stood us proud. Jabaar won third place in the Signature Stallions 2008 class and Zaheem got a second place in the colts aged one to two. Congratulations! ‘Jenna, I am so proud of you, your love for horses and desire to partake and learn about these fine animals never seizes to amaze me” To our friend Tzilla, it is wonderful to meet a person with so much passion for her animals, well done on Hot Shot’s achievement, she can only go from strength to strength. The arena was beautifully decorated and the festivity was felt by all. At some point during the show I looked back onto the grandstands and noticed how our Camilla support team has grown over the years, there the supporters sat in their Camilla gear, clapping, shouting and screaming in excitement and great enthusiasm as our horses entered the show ring. I was extremely proud. All at Camilla Arabian Stud would like to thank Leonard and his team for a show wonderfully organized and presented. We drove home after the show with a sense of achievement, pride and very pleased with the performance of all our horses that competed, now they too can go home to graze and rest ……………… until the hard work starts all over again early next year Wishing everyone a happy and safe festive season, see you at the next show Hennie
