The Queensland Branch Committee of the Australian Warmblood Horse Association Limited (AWHA Ltd) held another Colt Selection Day for 2020, this time at Belcam Stud, Biddaddaba, in the beautiful Gold Coast Hinterland of South East Queensland. Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, we could not get an interstate Selector for the Colt Selection Panel in accordance with our Breeding Guidelines, so Federal Board Approval was given for three Colt Selectors from the same state. Therefore three Colt Selectors from Queensland were used. Many thanks to our Colt Selectors on the day; Bev Chugg, Joanne Verikios and Diana Wolyncevic, for their time and expertise on the day.

Congratulations to Emalie Rowan and Christopher O'Keefe of Hendrick Hill Performance Horses on their imported Hanoverian stallion Donero (Imp) (Don Darius x Lauries Crusador xx x Sandro Hit) gaining his Approved status with the Association. Donero (Imp) now has an active lifetime breeding permit with the Association having scored an overall general average of 76.46%. Further information on Donero (Imp) can be found in his stallion directory listing: https://www.awha.com.au/newstalliondetail.aspx?ID=41090

Many thanks to Brittney Streat from Blue Ribbon Photography for capturing these moments both for the Association and our members. A very big thank you must also go to Ulli Klatte and his staff from Belcam Stud for their hospitality and efficiency on the day. We're extremely grateful.
