In October 1999 Ginger was broken in to saddle and
just did some light schooling. She did
not get ridden much for the next year and started her showing career under

had matured quite a bit and did not look quite so
gangly as she did as a young horse. She
turned out to be very talented under saddle, with natural balance and
rhythm. I also started her at some small
dressage competitions where she started to place but was still finding her way
around a dressage arena. At her first
season under saddle she took out 9 championships in both led and ridden
classes. She is also registered with the
National Buckskin Society and was the Reserve Hi-Point Led mare for the 2001-02
season.
In the 2002-3 season she
gained her Bronze award with the National Buckskin Society for Led and Ridden
Buckskin classes and her Silver award for Open competition. She was Reserve Champion Highland female at
the Victorian Stud Pony show and Champion Highland at Barastoc
Horse of the Year show. She also did a
stint on TV, starring on "Harry's Practice" for their segment on
