KARABIL ASIS (Salam Kadesh x Karabil Arika)
Asis was in the winners list again at Gundagai coming 2nd HW. Erica Allen kindly ran Asis out in the fittest horse as John had pulled a muscle & couldn’t run.
Bumbaldry 80km on 20th March was again very successful for John & Karabil Asis winning 1st HW & Fittest Horse again in 4hrs 34 m, with a final HR 46.
Asis competed at the recent Windeyer 80km endurance ride. Ridden by John they achieved 2nd HW and were 3rd across the line. This was the first time John was able to let Asis bowl along a bit as he has always been way too fat. Very nice to see his potential starting to show.
