I had 20 horses pushed out no assistance of any one. Then while watching doctor Harry my horse is in some ones backyard in the Southern Highlands. Been rescued unable to be touched in the back yard as property was sold with rescue horse.

02.01.2022 World record made. Mrs. Esther Stace from Yarrowitch NSW, riding sidesaddle and clearing a record 6'6" at the Sydney Royal Show, 1915. Her record stood until 20...13. The prize money was 5 guineas and a blue ribbon. Miss Myra Smith riding Bandolier also cleared the 6'6" jump, but Esther came first by clearing it at first attempt. Miss Smith cleared it at her second attempt. Esther rode T.E. (Dolph) Judd's 16hh brown gelding Emu Plains; Judd lived at Tichborne, NSW (according to one report although it appears he lived at Blayney NSW, moving to Bathurst 6 years before his death) and kept a string of top jumpers. Emu Plains won several events at that show, most ridden by Esther such as the Ladies Hunt; for one event win he was ridden by R. Curry. Emu Plains, at the time a 12 year old, was bred by Mr. Prentice of Emu Plains. A fearless rider, Esther also rode hunting in rough country. Her first competition ride was at Walcha Show in 1891. About that time she rode her own horse, The Joker. She also rode well known jumper Desmond, for H. Morton. Slightly built, she was known to handle difficult horses with quiet confidence. She went on to gain many ribbons at shows, including Sydney in 1910, 1912 and 1914. Her favorite riding outfit was a plush scarlet one. She died in July 1918, aged 46, after an illness. At her funeral, her coffin was draped with many of the ribbons she'd won. She left a husband and three children - a daughter and two sons - the sons, at the time of her death, were away fighting in WW1. In that year, 1918, Emu Plains, then 15 years old, cleared 7 feet 1 inch at Sydney, another record - in the men's jumping. Wikimedia Commons photo.
