OPEN DAY

11.00 am
BALMORAL OPENS ITS DOORS
On Saturday 20 December, Balmoral will open its doors to the public at 11.00 am to celebrate 19 years of equestrian excellence. All are invited to come and experience the magnificence of dressage and other related disciplines.
Balmoral Equestrian Centre is the vision of Julia Battems, who imported the Dutch Warmblood Stallion Figaro in 1989 with the specific aim of improving the breeding of sport-specific performance horses in Australia.
The open day has been designed to promote a village carnival type atmosphere with a variety of events, exhibits, foods and wines that is sure appeal to all ages
The day promises to be filled with an assortment of activities ranging from pony rides, face painting and entertainment for the kids to presentations by equine specialist on nutrition, dentistry, saddlery etc. The massive indoor arena will be the setting for truly spectacular demonstrations which will include western, carriage driving, show jumping to a dressage spectacular with Julia riding the Balmoral stallions concluding with a freestyle with Clint.
Children can also participate in an activity based tour of 12 stations, which, when activities are completed, entitle them to enter a major prize of one free term of riding lessons, valued at $550.
The Balmoral stallions include:
Clint – Clint Eastwood, b 28/2/2000 bay licensed Oldenburg stallion. He as placed fifth in the International Stallion show in Zwolle (Netherlands) in 2006 in the five year old class. He is currently training at Prix St George level.
Beanie – EWS Carabino – by Carabas from the Tannenhof stud in Germany, out of a Rubenstein/Inschallah mare. He has the intelligence and enthusiasm of his father and the reliability of the Rubenstein and Inschallah blood so is a delight to train.
Westie – BWS Westewind is a four year old Dutch Warmblood by the stallion Krack C out of a Ramiro/Roemer mare. Krack C is famous as one of Anky Van Grunsven’s Grand Prix superstars and has sired many dressage champions. Ramiro is famous for passing on amazing rideability. His influence on Dutch breeding was and still is of utmost importance. Westewind therefore carries strong genes influencing both movement, conformation and character.
Doc – BWS Whats Up C, b.12/5/03 – Chestnut KWPN stallion – of all the boys, What’s Up C (“Doc”) possibly is the most versatile. His enormous canter and leggy athletic build is suited to breed over dressage, showjumping or eventing mares. His basic paces are very correct and he will certainly mature into a very eye catching and impressive horse.
Balmoral Equestrian Centre is located at 299 Harkaway Road, Narre Warren North and offers the discerning rider access to the best equestrian facilities available including a state-of-the-art indoor school with licensed bar and bistro facilities overlooking the arena offers relaxed and comfortable viewing. The stable block contains eighteen spacious stables, three tack rooms, feed room, hot wash etc.
