UPDATE - KELLY PETERS
I guess by now you are all familiar with the story and updates we have been doing with regard to Kelly Peters, if not Please read Kelly's story (link below).
After receiving Kelly's last email and reading of her frustration at the outcome of her appointment with the specialist with regard to the fluid leaking from her ear, dizziness, ongoing balance issues & constant, very painful headaches. I spoke with Liza'l Textor (Speciality (imp)), and she kindly offered to speak with her Neurologist during her December appointment, (he is the Doctor who cured the young girl with Turrets Syndrome recently) as she has known him for many years and although he is not taking any new clients, the hope was that he just may meet with Kelly.
I emailed Kelly with Liza'ls offer and her reply was very unexpected. Kelly explained that the family had not been covered by private medical insurance at the time of the accident and though they are now, Kelly's case was deemed ongoing therefore not covered by their new insurance. Kelly's husband Shaun had to take 3 months off work after the accident and only returned to short work hours after this period, due to Kelly's ongoing care & their two children. Due to these reasons After chewing through their savings, they are now finding it difficult to simply make ends meet, let alone afford to see another specialist.
I find it appalling that Kelly and Scott have to choose between paying bills or buying food and getting Kelly the specialist help she needs to ensure her own health. Her GP has tested the fluid leaking from Kelly's ear and it returned positive to Glucose - meaning the fluid is definitely brain related. I am sure you can imagine the complications Kelly could end up with and appreciate the seriousness of the situation she and Shaun have found themselves in.
After some strong encouragement & many tears from this wonderful couple they agreed to let me ask for some assistance. I have listed Kelly's bank details below for anyone who wishes to help raise the funds for Kelly to see another specialist. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. As a very astute gentleman once said - a whole lot of small amounts always add UP. I am sure in similar circumstances we would all like to think that someone would extend the hand of help.
We have worked out that in order for Kelly to have an appointment with the specialist, an MRI, overnight accommodation, and any medicine, should cost around $3500. I will keep you updated as to the tally - through regular updates on this bulletin board.
Your donations can be mad anonymously through a branch or you can email your name to me and I will add it to the list to be placed on Kelly's Page. Cheers Toni.

VRQHA racing at Camperdown Victoria
A bunch of nicely turned out Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds made a big impression on the Camperdown crowd on Melbourne Cup Day. Local and former equestrian great Bill Roycroft was there to take in the action among many others who had not before witnessed the spectacle of sprint racing.
2009 National Quarter Horse Racing Conference
The National Advisory Group met in Warrnambool on November 3 with the main topic of discussion being the planning of the next National Quarter Horse Racing Conference. This event was extremely well received by attendees earlier this year and the 2009 event will be even better. There will be a host of informative sessions designed to equip the sprint racing enthusiast, newbie and stalwart alike, with up to date information on all aspects of the industry. There will be industry updates from Australian and international speakers, and field sessions where participants can learn in a hands on type environment. Further information will be available here shortly
Queensland - Futurity - Jockeys
To help with event planning Q Sprint Inc. is seeking expressions of interest from anyone with two year old or three year old race prospects who may be interested in participating in a futurity in Queensland in 2009.

Q Sprint Inc. would also like to hear from jockeys or anyone who knows of a jockey who would be interested in riding in the 2009 Queensland series. Please send expressions of interest to
mail@qsprint.com.au or phone 0407 027 067.
FOR STUD OWNERS WITHOUT WEB SITES
It was brought to my attention today that there is an imbalance with the membership requirements for the Australian Western Horse Showcase... there are many reputable studs that have been around for years & operating very successfully - without necessarily having a web site. Some stud owners don't even own a computer let alone know the first thing about building a web site - Free web or otherwise.
Here is what I plan to do in order to rectify any imbalance..
Set up a page dedicated to Stud Farms that DO NOT have a web site.
Below you will find a form :
- FREE - No membership necessary - list your stud name only
- $50 py - Membership - You get one full web page to list your Stud, Description, Stallion
Achievements, Current News,
and Contact details.
- Full member benefits - all classified adverts free & referrals if applicable

Record Entries for this years NCHA Futurity - 1885 entries
Roger Wagner tallied a total of 437.5
points yesterday for owner James Vangilder
with 219.5 points aboard Stray
Katz, by Boonlight Dancer, and 218 on
Asscher Cat, by High Brow Cat.
“She has been a real honest mare for
me all year and has been easy to train
and get along with,” said Wagner of
Stray Katz, who Vangilder purchased as
a yearling ,at the NCHA Futurity Sales.
Stray Katz’s dam, Katz, was a 1998
NCHA Futurity finalist (7th) under Bill
Freeman, and has produced five money
earners, including Aristo Katz with
$260,000.
Asscher Cat is the first money earner
out of Boon Bar daughter RC Boon Bar.
Aaron Wheatley started Monday morning
with a 215-point performance aboard
Lil Miss Royal Boon, as the first rider of
the day.
Two sets later, this time as the
second rider, Wheatley and Spoonin By
The Bay delivered with 217.
“I’ve had a good day at the office,”
said Wheatley, after his run on Spoonin
By The Bay. “But every day is different
in this game. You just have to take it like
it comes.”
Spoonin By The Bay, by Hes A Peptospoonful,
is owned by Wilbert Roller,
who will ride her in the Non-Pro division.
Wheatley purchased the mare three
months ago from the late Bill Freeman’s string of Futurity prospects.
“We put a lot of work in her to get
her up to scratch and ready for this,”
said Wheatley. “She’s very talented and
is progressing all the time.”
Lil Miss Royal Boon was also from
the string of Freeman, NCHA’s all-time
leading money earner, who passed away
on July 29, 2008. |
ALL TACK ADVERTS ARE FREE FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS

ILLIGITIMATE STALLION SERVICES
If you have bought or are looking at buying a mare who has an advertised 'paid service' to EGB Speciality (imp), or if you have previously paid in full or paid a deposit for a service to the same horse, prior to when EGB Speciality (imp) was purchased by Glamorgan Stud, please call the owners of EGB Speciality (imp) to check the legitimacy of your purchase, as they are likely neither valid or legitimate services.
