David Edmonds

David's love of horses and dogs led him to take on his Aunty's retired race horse as a pleasure horse for himself. She gave him many years of great riding before David got the racing itch and decided to put his well bred mare into foal. He bred 'Start Praying' from the mare and David's enthusiasm towards his racing career has never dampened. He is excited about the future of this horse and he is showing a lot of promise. David also took a liking for the very social sport of Hunting which led to the purchase of Reggie. Reggie is now retired and David now focuses on the breeding program and care of the horses. David is currently a member of the SA Mounted Police where he has ridden in many high pressure situations ranging from Governor Escorts to Searches to and General Mounted Patrol duties and Crowd Control.  David also has developed a passion for equestrian photography. Proofs of events will be posted on our web pages and are available for purchase.
