SHOWJUMPING
Abduell II (Rocky) is 13 years old and  spent most of his life as a working stallion.  However his career took another direction and here at Falcon Park he competes regularly in dressage competitions.   It was our intention to event him (John rode his sire 'Abduell' ten years ago very successfully at Three Day Events) however  Rocky was so successful at dressage competitions that we felt this was the direction he should take. In 2007 he was rarely out of the placings,  won numerous Championships and was ready to go up to Medium.    Everything was going well until EI started in Australia  and although Rocky did not get EI, there was no further competition until 2008.  At this time Pip started riding him and  they were going well and preparing to move up to Medium when as luck would have it, Rocky had a check ligament injury and had to have time off.  The following year all was going well but.... it happened again so after more time off he started competing again in 2009 at Medium level and hopefully 2010 will be injury free and he’ll be competing regularly.
