Three of the Aurora team were out at the Mt Linton Endurance Riding Club's season opener at Sandy Point last Saturday, with all three novice horses qualifying over 40km in their first start of the season.

The pure Crabbet mare Aurora Raffeah was joined by two more Silver Omen progeny, Aurora Naseebah and Aurora Kassanova. The trio enjoyed perfect riding conditions and beautiful blue skies over the track, a mix of beach, roadsides, farmland, and forest tracks.

A great time was had by all!

It isn't easy getting a camera out and taking a photo while you're cantering, but this picture of Aurora Naseebah and Kimberley running along Oreti Beach proves it can be done!
