Horse: Diandra - October 17th, 2013
We are delighted with the purchase from Millfield Stud of our new broodmare Diandra. She is a 4 year old out of Diaradro sire and Sawara dam. We broke her in last year and then left her to have her foal. Dstop came a month late and he was a big boy. Here they are at their grading at MillField stud, Diandra is now recorded as arecommend broodmare and they liked her foal. Diandra will be brought back into work at the end of the year when Dstop is weaned .

Horse: Bailey S - October 15th, 2013
Matthew decided it would be nice to support our local show. Unfortunately they do not have any jumping so working hunter it is!
It was not the best of weather in fact it was torrential all day but this did not put Matthew off as we were confident in our new Yaris waterproof rugs for keeping Bailey dry and well Matthew will just have to get wet.
It stopped raining long enough for Matthew and Bailey to strut their stuff, finishing the jumping as the only clear then trying to break the record for the most flying changes in a working hunter class ever.
Yes you guessed it they won, Hurray, once presented with his trophy Matthew dismounted and headed straight for the beer tent job done !!!!

Bailey looking less than enthusiastic for his next class. He certainly does not loose sleep over being away from home as seen here at Ingliston in temporary stabling and Boldsworth.

Horse: Miss Rolo - October 15th, 2013
We had a family trip first competing at Ingliston Equestrian Centre for the weekend then headed over to Blair Castle.
We were so lucky to have fabulous weather and situated in most beautiful countryside.
Rollo jumped her little socks off, qualifying for both the Newcomers and Foxhunter class championships on the last day.

Horse: Poppy - January 7th, 2013
We had a great weekend up at Ingleston’s three day show at the beginning of December
It was a bit like jumping in a big fridge every day, it was freezing.
The horse were rugged hot enough to cook toast then stripped to come into the warm up arena WOW,
all the horse were fresh but other than dodging the other lively bunch Poppy coped quite well.
She jumped lovely all weekend

The babies on the yard are enjoying a moment until Brandy comes along to say high and give them their daily clean.

Miss Rollo is just improving all the time,
With their relentless schooling her improved movement is really starting to show in the jumping arena, her canter is so much stronger and more rhythmical making adjustments so much more easy .
They recently competed at Aintree where they came second out of 78 in the discovery but unfortunately just got a pole in the Newcomers class which was built very strong due to the volume in the classes.
We were all really pleased as Both Faye and Miss Rollo gave 2 great to rounds
Well Done !!!
