STORY: LEE ANN HALL<br />
t<br />
The breeds were represented as follows –<br />
Quarter <strong>Horse</strong>s – 279, <strong>Paint</strong> <strong>Horse</strong>s 23, <strong>Australia</strong>n<br />
Stockhorse 1 and Pinto 3.<br />
Boodjaru Dammits Dusty, a 4 year old, bay and white<br />
Tobero mare topped the <strong>Paint</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> prices at $9000-.<br />
"Dusty" earned her name by being born in a dust storm,<br />
the name has stuck with her, with previous owner Jane<br />
Penfold. Her new owner – 7 year old Kayla Warrian from<br />
Injune, Qld (west <strong>of</strong> Roma) plans to use Dusty for Pony<br />
Club and mustering – you can see how smart she looks in<br />
the photographs.<br />
Jane Penfold lives at Geham, north Toowoomba on a 20<br />
acre farm, Dusty living there since she was a yearling, along<br />
with a small number <strong>of</strong> other horses.<br />
Jane had always wanted a <strong>Paint</strong>, and was planning on<br />
breeding a <strong>Paint</strong> foal, but found Dusty. Dusty was<br />
everything that Jane had wanted, even down to her colour<br />
<strong>of</strong> rich bay and her beautiful black eye liner. Alison Lord<br />
had the filly already well handled and had taken Dusty to a<br />
few shows. Her Show record includes Champion Mare /<br />
Filly at Toowoomba Royal Show.<br />
When Dusty was old enough to break in Jane took her<br />
along to a Ken May’s Colt Starting Clinic, held near<br />
Kingaroy. Over the 4 days <strong>of</strong> the clinic Jane broke Dusty in<br />
and was absolutely thrilled with the ease in which Dusty<br />
took to riding. Jane, at 65 years young, had never broken in<br />
a horse before. On returning home Dusty was ridden down<br />
to get the mail, used for some trail riding and mustering,<br />
taking it all in her stride.<br />
As much as Jane enjoyed having Dusty, she does have a<br />
few other horses and just needed something with a little<br />
more age and experience and then <strong>of</strong>fered her for sale at<br />
Rockhampton Sale.<br />
Dusty is enrolled in the <strong>PH</strong>AA’s Ride <strong>Australia</strong> Program<br />
and we hope to see young Kayla clocking up her hours on<br />
her new <strong>Paint</strong> <strong>Horse</strong>. ✪<br />
