Citation from the Society:
His name was given to him by Breeder Tony (since passed), meaning “Star of Stars” named for the bright star on his forehead and for the extremely bright stars shining in the sky the night he was born. Diane started working with Shehaab when he was about 3 and a half and has formed a strong connection with him, training him to achieve his many awards and enjoying all sorts of activities together from riding out, attending ANZAC parades, enjoying the beach, forest, treks and more. Shehaab can float with others and regularly rides with friends including mares. He can do liberty, tricks, can count, bow, kiss on request and so much more.
