LOUISE CROSBIE - was horse mad from an early age. Although she was not from
a horsey family and her mum was a single parent with a sole income, that didn't stop
her from following her passion! She started out working at Broadacres Riding School
in exchange for lessons, then leased a pony and the rest has grown from there!
Louise lives and breathes horses. She is aware that you never ever stop learning so is
constantly trying to increase her knowledge by regularly reading, networking with her
peers and attended various clinics. She belonged to pony club and was a member of
the BEATS Squad and Showjumping WA Development Squad. She is a licenced
pacing trainer and a qualified horse riding instructor and trail ride guide. She currently
runs Horsewest full time, races standardbreds and showjumps.

BERTIE - Louise's first pony is a grey gelding standing 12.2hh. He is of
Thoroughbred/Pony breeding and is registered 2nd Premium Australian Sports Pony. He
was born in 1989. Louise traced back Bertie's brand to the original owner and they told
her his story. He had a rough start to life. He was by a small thoroughbred stallion out of
a pony mare. He was bred for meat. Eventually the man was found out and the horses
were re homed. Unfortunately Bertie's dam died when he was only 3 months old. She
was still feeding his one and a half year old sister as well as Bertie and being only a small
pony mare couldn't cope. Bertie was hand raised then sold on. He was previously
known as Tortandeen Tiny Tim as he was so small. He was then known as Tim Tam
and somewhere along the line his name was changed to Bertie. His show name is B.B.
Floppy-Ears. He had quite a few homes. He was at a riding school for a bit where he
broke someones arm by bucking them off when they were doing a round-the-world and
ran a few people under fences. Louise then leased Bertie off a friend for 2 and a half
years before purchasing him in 1999. He now has a home for life. He competed
successfully in all disciplines including eventing, showjumping, Prince Phillip Games,
hacking, dressage, novelties and pony trots (well not that successfully, he did win one
race, but it was rigged! He had the biggest handicap!). He also starred as 'The Blue
Pony' at the 2007 night of the stars.
