Chilla Seeney was a well-recognised “mover and shaker” in the Australian performance horse industry during its heyday – first throughout the early years of rodeo and roughriding, then in campdrafting, and later with the formative years of the cutting horse industry. He was a man of action, driven by what he called “the three Ds” – desire, devotion and discipline, and coupled with this, a fearless competitive spirit. For Chilla winning was everything and with that fierce determination he excelled at every sporting event he set his mind to. (Karen Thrun)
