22.01.2022 Buckle Sponsor Spotlight - Youth 14 -18 Yrs BOOROONDARRA / Baker Family - Booroondarra Pastoral Company is based in the Central Highlands about 3 hours north west of Rockhampton. Booroondarra was originally selected in the 1860’s and was a huge station at that time. In 1917 it was surveyed into the current 47,000 acre holding that John’s grandfather purchased in 1925. 2006 saw coal mines take around 30,000 acres which led to the purchase of other local properties to repla...ce the land. Booroondarra Pastoral Company now owns around 50,000 acres across 5 properties and run 5,500 head of mostly Droughtmaster cattle. They breed and grow out bullocks to supply local meat works, and breed quality Droughtmaster herd bulls. The Bakers have always been involved in horses. John’s Great-grandfather (John) had racehorses, his Father (Clarry) did Campdrafting, and the younger generations have done everything from Pony Club, Dressage, Showjumping, Cross Country, Campdrafting, Polocrosse and Stockmans Challenge. John, Marni, Alice and Amelia Baker have been involved in reining for about 10 years. Reining Australia would like to say a very big Thank You to Marni Baker, John Baker & Family for their Amazing and continued support & sponsorship of the 2021 Australian National Reining Championships. The Baker Family will drive approx 1300km to make their way to Tamworth, but it is a journey (and a sport) that they love to be a part of. See more

19.01.2022 Save the Date.......There will be a Competitors & Judges Seminar held on the weekend of the 30th & 31st of January 2021 at QSEC Caboolture. Make sure to not miss out on this very informative seminar which is proudly brought to us by Queensland Reining Horse Association (Q.R.H.A) & Reining Australia Booking details are outlined on the flyer. Hope to see you all there.

19.01.2022 Fun Futurity Fact......That Reining Australia Gold Buckle Futurity nomination, stays with the horse! If a breeder nominates their foal into the futurity but then sells that horse before the futurity takes place, that horse is still eligible. The owner of the horse (at the time of the futurity) does not need to be the same person who nominated it......the nomination belongs to the horse. Just another incentive to jump on board with the Reining Australia Gold Buckle Futurity pr...ogram.

Zoé Hollis Q1 What club are you a member of? RA, NRHA, SNSWRHA Q2 How many years have you been Reining? 6years And why did you choose to join the sport? We purchased a horse that was partially reining trained and a close family friend helped me navigate my way around this horse so I made the switch to reining, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Q3 Proudest moment in Reining so far? Running my first 70. Beginning reining on a very naughty horse, this achievement seemed impossible. Q4 Best advice you have received? Hurry up & slow down and focus on my feel Q5 If you could ride any reining horse in the world (past or present) Who would it be? Magnum Chic Dream Q6 Most embarrassing moment at a horse show? Starting out in reining I had a difficult horse so I’ve had lots of embarrassing moments. Q7 If you rode a Freestyle, what song would you choose? I don’t think I would ride a freestyle Q8 Is there anything we don’t know about you? Any hidden talents/party tricks? No party tricks, but a hobby I enjoy is breeding/training kelpies with my boyfriend. Q9 Any item in your tack room/tack box you just can’t do without when you’re riding/competing? When competing I can’t go without my rescue remedy and I’m very fussy about my reins Q10 Is there anything in the sport of Reining you would like to see changed? In Australia I’d like to see more influence or assistance for our up-and-coming trainers (The next generation of pro’s) Once again many thanks to the Southern NSW Reining Horse Association - SNSWRHA for not only bringing us this segment but also for their continued and unwavering support of our fantastic industry.it truly is appreciated. www.snswrha.com.au

NSWRHA, RA & NRHA Q2 How many years have you been Reining? 5 years And why did you choose to join the sport? For the circles... not those large fast kind, but for those who circle in & around this sport. It attracts a certain kind of horse person that I admire. They are passionate, dedicated & strong! Q3 Proudest moment in Reining so far? There have been a few special moments I have been proud to be a part of, some of my own, but I won't be alone in saying nothing beats the elation of one of your close mates having an amazing run & you’re right there, cheering from the side of the arena, sharing it with them. Q4 Best advice you have received? "Sister each other, because sistering is the best part of life" ~ Glennon Doyle. Q5 If you could ride any reining horse in the world (past or present) Who would it be? Oh dangerous, the last time I made a wish like this it was Buck and now he’s is mine!! Well, technically I’m sharing him with Angie for... forever! ~ Hoping Rosanne Sternberg reads this... top of my list would be Smart Spook. Q6 Most embarrassing moment at a horse show? Ekkk, I think I’ve had red cheeks at every show! I either forget my lefts & rights, my class, my number or my hat! Q7 If you rode a Freestyle, what song would you choose? We joke that "I Got This" by Jerrod Niemann is Bucks freestyle song, of course I would just be along for the dance. Q8 Is there anything we don’t know about you? Any hidden talents/party tricks? I don't think so, I'm not very good at keeping secrets, especially if they are mine! Q9 Any item in your tack room/tack box you just can’t do without when you’re riding/competing? A good friend. Q10 Is there anything in the sport of Reining you would like to see changed? The embracing of change itself, supporting each other as a collective to move towards growth of the sport in Australia for Beginners, Non Pro's, Trainers, Breeders, Sponsors, Business & all Associations alike.

Nope Q9 Any item in your tack room/tack box you just can’t do without when you’re riding/competing?..................... Just the basics Q10 Is there anything in the sport of Reining you would like to see changed?......................

10.01.2022 What’s the Go Non-Pro..This weeks edition is proudly brought to us by our Industry Partner. ARBC We’re back for another year of Non Pro promotions and we’ll kick things off by heading to Queensland to catch up with a lady who is very much the quiet achiever. Down to earth and as honest as the day is long, she’s a crowd favourite whenever she steps in the pen and is a much loved and admired member of our great Reining family.... Please welcome.. Kathy Boske Q1 What club are you a member of?..............NRHA, QRHA, RA, SQRHA Q2 How many years have you been Reining?................I have been working at it for about 25 years And why did you choose to join the sport?................ I was a big western pleasure fan at the time, on show days at the end of our events, we would all hurry and put our horse away so we could be in the stand to watch the reiners like Ian Frances, Beau Johnson, Mick Connelly, Paul Farrell and Graham Brown, just to name a few. To me this was the ultimate in horsemanship skills, and I wanted to know more. There is always something new to learn and to work on to keep improving your own skills as well as your horse. Q3 Proudest moment in Reining so far?.................. hitting that 70 Q4 Best advice you have received?...................Keep a leg either side and your brain in the middle Q5 If you could ride any reining horse in the world (past or present) Who would it be?...................... that’s easy "Docs Fancy Roy" Q6 Most embarrassing moment at a horse show?......................... riding a perfect pattern and then realising i did the whole thing back to front Q7 If you rode a Freestyle, what song would you choose?....................... Footloose Q8 Is there anything we don’t know about you? Any hidden talents/party tricks?..................... no party trick, what you see is what you get Q9 Any item in your tack room/tack box you just can’t do without when you’re riding/competing?..................... Yes My Supper Horse Savvy Husband, and those who know him will agree with me Q10 Is there anything in the sport of Reining you would like to see changed?...................... Yes, let’s make it fun again, cheer on our champions and offer encouragement to those who may need a little lift and remember if you haven't anything nice to say, keep it to yourself. P.S Keep up the Good Work RA. The Future of Reining in Australia needs you, Once again many thanks to our industry partner ARBC for not only bringing us this segment but also for their continued and unwavering support of our fantastic industry.it truly is appreciated.

NRHA, RA & SQRHA Q2 How many years have you been Reining? Since 2010 And why did you choose to join the sport? I went to watch the Derby at PCRS and saw Warren Backhouse on Shiny and Nu. This was the start. I did a small clinic at Gatton on my 2 year old halter horse and have never looked back. Q3 Proudest moment in Reining so far? I have many proud moments and its hard to pick the best one. Probably winning Open Futurity Levels 2, 3 and 4 at PCRS 2019 Q4 Best advice you have received? ‘You Go Do You’ ‘Show What You Got’ My husband Allan always tells me this. Q5 If you could ride any reining horse in the world (past or present) Who would it be? Wow. Not sure. Would say one of my favourite horses is Pace Face Dunit so I would have to pick him. Q6 Most embarrassing moment at a horse show? Can’t think of anything but maybe ask my friends, I’m sure they can tell you. Q7 If you rode a Freestyle, what song would you choose? Probably wouldn’t ever do a freestyle. I would embarrass Allan too much. Q8 Is there anything we don’t know about you? Any hidden talents/party tricks? No hidden talents or tricks. Q9 Any item in your tack room/tack box you just can’t do without when you’re riding/competing? Allan and my friends they are my support.

08.01.2022 Buckle Sponsor Spotlight - Nov Horse NP L2 PACIFIC PERFORMANCE HORSES Christine Bayer & Yves Cousinard established Pacific Performance Horses, PPH in South East Queensland in 2002 to breed and train quality cutting and reining horses and add an international flavor to cutting and reining in Australia. Their program focus’s on accessing the very best US sires for their mares, with progeny from the exceptional horses ‘Wimpys Little Step’ ‘Einsteins Revolution’ ‘Who Whiz It’... ‘Smart Spook’ ‘Sophisticated Catt’, ‘Smart Lil Ricochet & Triple Crown Champion ‘Not Ruf At All’. As Sires are only one part of the genetic equation, PPH mares have been carefully chosen and represent only the very best quality blood lines such as from Wimpys Little Step, Docs Spinifex , Cuttabars Colonel, Smart Peppy Doc, Kings Phillip, Playboy Roy and Proud To Be An Okie. Whilst there are many well bred Australian Sires the international program at PPH will only help improve the genetic gene pool and add to the quality of horses in competition in Australia. The PPH program is selective, focusing on quality not quantity. In this way PPH can provide the best individual care and attention to each horse , encouraging them in either discipline, or as is often the case, in both cutting and reining when this aptitude is apparent. Reining Australia would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to Pacific Performance Horses for not only their wonderful support and sponsorship of the 2021 Australian National Reining Championships, but also for their ongoing commitment and dedication to the industry as a whole in this country......it truly is Amazing.
