Southside Western Performance Club
On 21st October Southside Western
Performance Club in South east Queens-
land held their first show for the new sea-
son and their last show of the year. Taking
a bit of a gamble on expected numbers the
club engaged two judges to officiate, and
were very lucky to obtain the services of
Mr Kim Thake and Mr Bob Sim.
The Queensland weather had been
atrocious leading up to the weekend, but
with all the committee crossing fingers
and saying prayers the day started out
fine and warm. There was a good turn up
of Halter horses with competitors in
Appaloosa, Paint and Quarter Horse
classes.
Judge Mr Sim chose Im O So Genetically
Sleek, owned by Cathy Blair, as Champi-
on Quarter Horse mare, while Mr Thake
preferred YB Ima Good Fantasy, owned by
Rebecca Mauch.
The Champion Gelding was a unanimous
decision with Lee Sims stunning young
gelding, Sworn to Secrecy, taking out the
award. This same horse went on to be Su-
preme Halter Exhibit of the Show.
Amateur and Youth classes were well
supported.
A special mention to Leanne Bartlett who
through tireless effort managed to collect
an astonishing amount of sponsorship
both prizes and money. I doubt that any-
one went home without something. A big
thank you to all those sponsors. Unfortu-
nately the list is too long to fit here but you
are greatly appreciated.
During the lunch break AQHA Director
of Show and Performance, Mr Paul
Lorimer, kindly presented the High Point
End of Year awards to the lucky winners.
Overall High Point All Round Horse was
a tie by Im O So Genetically Sleek trained
and presented by Leanne Bartlett and Tri-
andibo Inhecagie shown by Gail Lowden.

Special thanks to all the helpers, Jess
Page and Kimberly Lyons, who did a great
job as Judges Stewards always makes
the Show Secretary’s job easier. Gate
Marshalls, Paul Lorimer, Ewan Bruce and
Rob Lowden kept the show moving and
Mark Bartlett who always lends a hand
wherever he can. Special thanks to all
the competitors who braved the elements
and came along to ensure Southside had a
great show to end the year.
Look forward to seeing everyone back
again next year, Merry Christmas and safe
travels to all.

LA Car Carriers
All Western Breeds Spectacular 2018

The LA Car Carriers All Western Breed
Spectacular was held on the 20th and
21st October, as a part of bringing the
Multi Judge shows to WA again. These
shows rely heavily on the support from
our sponsors and we were very privileged
that LA Car Carriers, and Nominate, came
on board as our main sponsors, for which
we are very grateful. The highlight of
this show was to help raise funds for our
struggling farmers over east. All profit
made from this show will be donated
through the Drought Angels and the sup-
port of all club members was heart felt.
Special ‘Hope for Rain’ versatility classes
(sponsored by WAPHA, WAQHA, and
PRAC) were part of the fundraising pro-
gram, which included a beautiful embroi-
dered rug for 1st , ¼ blanket for
2nd, and garment bag for 3rd. Congrat-
ulations to the winner Jacinta Bolsen-
broek, with Rikki Planke 2nd and Tracy
Whitton 3rd. Also congratulations to Deb
Worth, winning the $250 voucher for Sen-
ior Trail kindly sponsored by JK Barquoe
Mechanical. Full results can be found on
the WAQHA website.
to Rikki Planke), and all
proceeds of the raffle will
go directly to the Drought
Angels. The WAPHA also
in August ran a successful
Show to help raise aware-
ness and funds for Beyond
Blue, which we were happy
to donate over $500 towards
this special cause.
As we know all too well,
apart from our generous
sponsors, we can’t do these
events without the tireless
efforts of all committee
members, and volunteers,
and so congratulations a
huge team effort, and thank
you.
