International Wels Horse Fair - page 2

First we have a movie for you! Here is a film of the Stadl Paura group we were with in the Special Breeds presentation. You see Karen and Rescue Me at the back briefly, also the Paint stallion, ridden classically, a Fjord Horse an the hand, and a New Forest Pony with foal. The foal made life interesting in the arena and the girls were so facinated with the foal they overlooked filming Rescue Me! Please download the film here (3.2 MB)

Karen and Rescue Me during an early morning workout in the arena.

With the interior lighting of the hall being difficult to photograph, we have some very artistic images of the show for you! Karen is riding Rescue Me in western dress with silver decorated bridle from Walter Lukas (trainer) and the 1969 hand-made saddle imported from Canada. RR Rescue Me was presented for the Stadl Paura Breeding Horse Association under the special breeds section. Grulla Vaquera Lark was shown by Norea Pichl in these images, and also by Bettina Zopf on the Friday of the show (sadly we haven't images of her presentation yet) for the Austrian Breeding Association of Ponies, Small Horses and Special Breeds (OeZP). We would like to thank these associations for allowing us to present the Curlies.
