Cheeky Attitude Q-21972 was born in Novem-
ber 1999 and was purchased by the Robb
family as a two year old from the Rock-
hampton Futurity Sale.
From there he competed in Cutting
for a number of years and became
a valuable asset to Don Robb
racing stables as an educator
to young breakers and pre
trainers. He was also shown
by Sara Robb as a Hunter,
winning Supreme and
many Championships.
Darcy’s father was work-
ing with Don on yearling
preparation in 2012
when he asked him
if he knew of any larger
horses available, as Darcy, his daughter had grown six
inches in four months and was getting too big for her
pony. Don generously offered them Cheeky to try.
To fast forward this six years and there isn’t a disci-
pline they hadn’t tried. Sporting, Campdrafting, Team
Penning, ODE, Hacking, Horseball, Polocrosse, Show-
jumping, Working Equitation, Barrel Racing, Working
Horse Challenges, mounted games and team
sporting. You ask Cheeky for something and he
always tries, except for swimming. He can’t
swim and sinks like a stone.
They have now competed all over NSW in
Pony Club State events and also in Qld.
