Aussie Christmas in Germany

Team HB would like to wish all our friends a wonderful and safe Christmas.

Although we are missing the snow this year, (its still plenty cold enough- dont worry!) I have a planned a traditional Christmas dinner for my Aussie team on Christmas Eve. Spirits are high in the stables. We have been working very hard but also enjoying the Christmas markets and festivities that are all around Germany at this time of year. However, there is not much time to come down.

Today we got news that Belissimo and I are on the Australian A Squad which means its really time to put the head down and come up with some scores. The time frame is very short and we basically have 8 weeks to qualify with MES, qualify inside the best 8 Aussie combinations and also ride the new special twice. This will be a big test for us but we have been training very hard and Bello is improving at an impressive rate. This week marks a new beginning in our stable as Bello and I very anxiously prepare for our international debut in Mechelen on Boxing Day. Fingers crossed that all goes well in the Grand Prix as we are super keen to test out our brand new Aussie-made, Aussie-artist freestyle. Whether we make it through this time or the next we are in for one hell of a party!

Happy Christmas guys
