JH Venus | 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬

Introducing JH Venus (Reg #237558) — a powerful mare with grit, heart, and a personality that keeps everyone on their toes.

Breeding:
Sire: Bonlac Gigolo
Dam: Lynwood Paris Moon
Owner: Graeme Elford
Rider: Makayla Elford

Purchased as a 3-year-old from Christie and Keith Hunt, Venus has steadily built her resume. She’s competed here and there over the years, but Barastoc this season marked her biggest campaign to date, proving she’s ready for the next level.

Team: NSW Open Women’s
Plays Best: Around the goal posts or deep in the guts. Physical, demanding work is right up her alley — exactly where Venus shines.

Nationals Record:
Making her Darwin Nationals debut

Celebrity Match:
Mike Tyson — strong, uncompromising, and not one to back down (ears beware ).

Quirks:
At home she’s quiet, calm, and unassuming. Take her away and it’s a whole different story — suddenly everything matters, and she’s switched right on.

Biggest Achievement:
Earning the title of the only horse Makayla’s mum will ride — and that trust doesn’t come easily.

Watch for JH Venus in Darwin — this mare is built for the contest
