25.01.2022 Welsh Pony Cob Society Australia 2021 Congratulations to Year 10 student Arabela Whitby who was last week awarded the Best Young Peoples Group Handler at the Queensland State All Welsh Show. After being affected by the Hawkesbury River flood waters Arabela made the difficult decision to scratch her own horses from the show, lucky enough on Thursday the weather took a break and an escape up north was possible. Arabela was able to borrow Barn Hill Bridget, a beautiful 3 year old filly, and underwent handler classes to still participate and come away with an award! What an amazing feat! Well done to Arabela who is now continuing to prepare for the Royal Sydney Show.
