Bryan Proctor bought Smith Family Conjessman as a yearling from Barry Smith. He was looking for a colt by Hazelwood Conman with a strong bottom line and heard about Conjessman from Terry Hall.
Bryan went to see the young colt and had to look beyond the immature, scruffy youngster, and see his future potential. He put faith in Barry’s recommendation and took the colt home. It would turn out to be a decision Bryan would never regret.
Conjessman went to Paul Spears at Tarcutta to be broken in. When he was ready to compete, he was sent to Emma O’Shea, who started him on the Queensland circuit for his first 2 years. Since then, Conjessman has been campaigned by Jack Shanahan of Barnawartha, Victoria.
Bryan describes Conjessman as being “the loveliest horse you could ever come across.
He is black as black as black, long, and big at 15.2hh. He is like a big pet lamb; he comes when you call him and is just a wonderful horse to have around”.
He travels very smoothly and doesn’t have to rush; he just does his job from pure talent. He makes it look easy.”
Bryan said that Conjessman’s progeny have his cool mind. While still a ten-year-old (as of 2024), he already has progeny competing, and they are highly sought after in the sale ring. The highest sale price so far was $80,000, for the 7-year-old mare Berragoon Stash at the Berragoon ASH Sale in 2024.
Conjessman has a long list of wins and places under his belt, in campdrafts and challenges. He is an excellent and consistent competitor and has the looks, style and temperament needed by a top-level sire.

A few key wins and places for Jess
When asked about Just Like Jess, this is what Oener Heidi Smith had to say, “I don’t know if I’d ever have the words for her or the impact she has had on our life or our breeding program to be honest…it started with her mother – a stunning black Jericho mare Dad purchased as a 2yo from Lex Wiseman – registered as Garthowen Trixie but we called her Jessica.
Jessica was an open mare in her own right, campaigned by Dad (Barry). As she got older, he wanted a Romeo foal out of her – thus Just Like Jess was born.”
Just Like won many drafts, biggest achievements include her winning the Condamine Bell in 2012 with Ben Hall and the Ladies at Condamine the same day with Jaye – this hasn’t been done before by the same horse in the same year. I (Heidi) was 2nd in the Champion of Champions at Warwick in 2015.”
She was the best minded mare to have around, she was fast and tough and incredibly talented. What she achieved in the arena was incredible, but what she has bred us is equally amazing.”
Just Like Jess has produced many outstanding progeny beyond Conjessman. Heidi describes her as “ONE IN A MILLION”, and added, “Conjessman is an exceptional horse and he is doing his mumma proud!”
