August 2009
Diary Update
Kevin was Cross Country coaching at Toowoomba whilst the Toowoomba World Cup Showjumping was on. So we loaded the truck with Gameplay, Kinnordy Galera, Belcam Caesar, Kelecyn Divergence & Kelecyn Ice Age to rival the showjumpers. Unfortunately coaching called & Kevin was unable to jump off some of the horses.
The Assessment day for Qld for next years Australian Talent Search Squad was August 13th. Kevin McNab riding Kelecyn Divergence & Emma Dougall riding Kelecyn Ice Age are both listed for Qld on the 2009 squad. Thank you to Sue Niven & Eventing Australia for organising this day. We look forward to hearing the squad for 2010!

World Cup Eventing Final
September 2008
Kevin Placed 10th in Deauville, France at the HSBC World Cup Eventing Final.
Kevin only arrived in England a fortnight ago with Hufflepuff, Gameplay and fantastic groom Charlotte Price. He has been based at Clayton & Lucinda Fredericks yard.
Going into the competition Kevin was the FEI World Cup rankings leader. He made a fantastic debut on European soil despite having the bad luck of being drawn first in the dressage. Gameplay proved to Europe what Kevin & his coach Tony Manca, have known for a while, that he is a brilliant jumper and a fast galloper, making the cross country course look easy. He finished exactly on the optimum time of 7min 7sec. Kevin had 8 showjumping faults, leaving him in 10th.
Thank you to all of the people who flew over to show their Aussie support. Owners Emma Dougall, John, Karen & Dina Healy, Len & Cynthia McNab, Leah Howarth, Tony Manca, the Fredericks and the Price Family.
A huge thank you to our sponsors Mitavite, Aitkens Saddlery, Luc Childeric & Chilla.
Congratulations to Clayton Fredericks (AUS) who won the HSBC Eventing Final.

Kevin McNab & Kinnordy Galera, owned by John Healey are in 1st place on 44.8 penalties after dressage day. They have a double clear cross country, and a fantastic showjumping round to win the Mitavite CCI*. Kevin & Belcam Caesar, Owned by Ulrich Klatte & rider are placed 4th after the dressage, with a double clear cross country they move up to 1st place.

It was a busy competition, Kevin rode Hufflepuff in the Horseland CCI*** finishing 11th, Gameplay unfortunately had a small injury to was withdrawn from the final trot up. Emma Dougall rode Dotcom to finish 12th. Emma also rode Major James in the CCI** to finish in 8th place and Kalinga Memmo in the CCI*. Well done to everyone on the Kelecyn team, a fantastic effort!!!
