A group of Caledonian Youth graced the
Aussie shores to see how we do it all over
here. Not only did they have the opportu-
nity of a three day Clinic, a show, but they
also got to go to the Melbourne and Seville
Zoo and Pakenham saddleries.
On Wednesday 10th of October the eight
of them travelled to Melbourne for the
first time for a week, accompanied by
their coaches, Celine Lasbleiz and Justine
Vallette-Morlet. That night they touched
base at Patricia Wettenhall’s wonderful
Bed and Breakfast at Seville East.
The Youth, Laura, Margot, Victoria, Elsa,
Chloé, Clara, Florian and Kewell, were
aged from seven -15 and were kindly
loaned different horses by their fabulous
owners. ‘Trish’ trained all of these horses
and the Youth had the difficult task of
getting to know their new mounts in only
three days.
They learned how to ‘hug’ your horse the

Association AQHA Awards.
A big thank you to the AQHA who spon-
sored both the SCA Annual 2017-2018
Highest scoring Registered All Round and
Rookie Horse categories, each received an
AQHA Embroidered Rug.

Campdraft Association saw the mare,

‘Triandibo way’ – without spurs and no
stirrups. After several trials and aching
muscles, every child accomplished what
they set out to do.
During the clinic, Trish explained Show-
manship techniques, Horsemanship and
English Classes, as these were classes
they weren’t familiar with. This was cer-
tainly a huge learning curve for them all.
Lunchtime rolled around and thanks to
Linda Cavallo’s directions and Google
Maps, the Youth were treated to a visit
to Seville Zoo and Pakenham saddleries.
A nice way to show a bit of Australia to
these Youth from another land.
Sunday was show day and it was a big
day. The alarm was set for 4am, and
Trish had the works ready for breakfast,
before they packed their gear and headed
for the floats to load up, and head for the
show at the Peninsula Quarter Horse
Association in Merricks, Victoria.

The Youth thoroughly enjoyed their
day and they would like to convey their
sincere appreciation to the club for their
understanding of the language barrier
and the extra support given to help the
stressed team.
At the end of the day there were a few
tears shed as the horses had to be re-
turned to the rightful owners, but each
and every team member jumped back into
the bus with colorful ribbons and huge
smiles.
The rest of the stay was spent sightseeing
in Melbourne City, with a visit to the Mel-
bourne Zoo, the Star Observation Wheel
and the famous Chadstone Shopping
Centre.
