The Graduation was held on Thursday the 24th October, with two special awards presented. The TBQA Top Student Award went to Lyn Williams. She has shown great work ethic and has been outstanding in all aspects of the course and is now working at Glenlogan Park.

The Horse Handling Award was presented to Carissa Wrigley. She showed exceptional ability in handling all types of horses from mares and foals through to yearling and racehorses and has gained employment with Widden Stud.

Peter Moody will be telling the story of the great horse Black Caviar at a fund raising dinner on 12th November, 2013.

The proceeds from this dinner will go to The Glennie School Trust Fund for the benefit of their student, Paris Turkington. Paris suffered severe burns to her body after an accident in late August.

Paris is the 17 year old daughter of Wattle Brae Stud owners, Gary and Phoebe Turkington. She faces a long, slow and painful road to recovery. The family will have to move to Brisbane for a year whilst Paris undergoes constant physiotherapy. Then there is a further year of recovery, prior to some final surgery.

The Glennie School has established a trust fund to assist with the financing of this long recovery and future education needs.

To kick start this fund, The Glennie School and The Toowoomba Turf Club are combining to host a fund-raising Dinner.

In addition to the guest speaker, Peter Moody, there will be a number of auction items that have been generously donated.

The TBQA will have a table at the event. If you would like to join us please contact the office on 0412 026 540 or info@queenslandbreeders.com.au or if you want to organise your own table…
