Billy unfortunately sustained an injury just 4 months before the Olympics. We tried everything to get him
right for the event but it just wasnt to be. We were able to do a year of dressage and placed at the State
and National Dressage championships the following year. He then spent 6 months doing some Pony club
events with the Hockneys Grand Daughter Sarah, before he hurt himself again. Billy sadly retired due to
injury in 2002. He now resides in Young NSW on 100 acres of hills and dams where he is happy and living
the life he now deserves.

Foxy has retired due to a mystery injury. He had plenty of x-rays and scans but we suspect he
had a hairline fracture that didn't show up. He now resides in over 300 lush acres at Gallop
Creek in Yass being totally spoilt with love. If you have a horse that needs a happy retirement,
agistment is available in the Yass area. Please contact Anne and Craig 0411408605

Good Timing (Toby)
OWNED BY THE GOOD TIMING SYNDICATE. When I was campaigning for the Olympics,
I was lucky enough to have a group of local people and businesses supporting me for my quest
for the 2000 Olympics. We formed a syndicate to purchase a horse. Unfortunately he didn't turn
out to be an Olympic champion, but I am very gratefull for the sponsorship I received and had the
opportunity to ride another 3 star horse, gaining me invaluable experience at that level. Members
included: The Krugar foundation, Philip and Mary Hockney, George Holm, Ginty and O'leary
Holden, The Blundell Family, Jenny Farrelly, John Farrelly, Peter Minson, Peter and Lynne
Pobjie, Harden Horse Trials Assoc, Wal and Sue Bradford, John P McArthy, Dan and Jan Cole,
Hugo and Mandy Sachs

Toby was sold to a junior in Victoria at the age of 15. The syndicate then purchased Velupez.
