2002 Adelaide Australia – X-Treme

I catch rode ‘Skippy’ at the Auckland CCI*** in 2001 and finished in 8th place, then bought him for a song!  He was a great little guy, only 15.2 hh. We did well at the Melbourne CCI*** three-day event early in the year of 2002.  He was a tough cracker in the dressage at Adelaide but got through it.  Unfortunately he broke down in the steeplechase in Phase B of the event.  He healed well, and I sold him to a fellow that was a friend of mine for not much money.  He lived the good life, eventing at the lower level for years until he died of a snake bite in 2009!
