HARARY GLORY B or affectionately
known as “Frosty” was to me (Danielle
Philpots-Green) and many, the epitome
of what the Australian Quarter Horse
should be, an outstanding all around horse and
general gentleman is every way possible.
“Frosty” came into my life in June, 2002 and we
clicked from day one. Stepping up from junior
youth into senior meant to search for the next
horse. Purchased from Laura Marchione through
the help of David Norbury, “Frosty” wasn’t the
best put together horse, nor had he done much in
the pen, but the combination of us just seemed to
work. He was in paddock condition and had only
been back with David for a matter of weeks. We
had driven from SA to Victoria to look at him.
Over the next 10 years “Frosty” and I would
achieve success in nearly every event possible
– from Showmanship to Hunter under Saddle
through to Reining he was always the perfect
show horse that any Youth/Amateur could every
want.
He never let me down in the pen and with that
we achieved over 2100 points and 41 awards along
with the AQHA Performance Medal in 2014.
Bridle-less pleasures and demonstrations at Expos
with flag ceremonies were a credit to his breeding
and temperament as he was 100% perfect at every
outing attended.
NPHA at the age of seven and he did everything
asked.
When I was 16 I had the opportunity to go and
ride with Annie and Rodney Conolan, so I packed
up “Frosty”, my mum’s old Olympic float and my
dad’s Monaro and spent two months in Victoria
attending the AA show circuit. “Frosty” and I
would go from show to show making fences from
baling twine, three star pickets and my float and
show at all the events with great success.
On 19th March last year as I was at the SAQH, my
non horsey husband made a phone call to me that
I never wanted to receive nor did he ever want to
make. Frosty was buried that day out the front of
my house and a part of me certainly went with
him. As a competitor you can only hope to come
across a horse like him – an all-round horse who
only ever wanted to please – something I feel a
true Quarter Horse should be.
CHARARY GLORY B wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea
but he never did anything to offend. He showed
time after time what is possible when you team a
great mind, breeding that works and someone to
take the risk together. F

He provided some top competitors the opportunity
to feel what sitting on a Quarter Horse should be
like. One that stands out was when a tiny Jessica
Pascoe completed her first canter class on him at
