Quick update from Jenny Moncur after the Toongabbie ride Australia.
The bay mare is Mullungdung Promise ridden by Nadine Harte -
winner of junior And Best conditioned. Promise wearing Easyboot Gloves on her front feet
and Easyboot Epics with Easy up buckles on hind feet.
I am riding Bellawongarah Sage on a 40 km ride
which we completed happily for Sage's second ever outing. Sage was wearing Easyboot Epics
with Easy ups all around. I love the easy up buckles! They just stay put when
done up and there are no worries with them.
Off to the State Championships this weekend - Nadine and Prom are attempting their first hundred miler!!
Thanks for posting that Garrett. Nadine is thrilled to have her pic on your website. Unfortunately we did not complete the State Champs. Nadine withdrew Promise on course at 100 km as she had a very sore back. Finding the perfect saddle is now a lot harder than finding the perfect boot!
Our other 160 km horse, Tonki Dee Boo Franky ridden by Nikita Verspaandonk, came second and looked fantastic in his four gloves.

It was bad luck for Nadine Jenny, but yes Nikky and Franky still looked awesome at the end of the long ride. Well done!!
Danny and I completed our first 100-miler too, riding with Nikky and Nadine for some of the way, riding by ourselves for a lot of it and earning the "turtle" title for last in the gate :) Most of the ride was completed in Gloves. They did a fantastic job despite looking worn out with big toe holes before we even started. The life of the boots beyond what looks reasonable always suprises me!
So now, Tom Quilty here we come, where we are also planning to pass the Turtle title on to someone else :)
