NEW WRE EXPERIENCE SHARES AVAILABLE!

First time, for me, having 3 horses at Advanced.  Very proud as I have produced them all from young horses.  

Advanced first timer, Ballycoog Breaker Boy, kicked the day off with a cracking test. Despite my own error in the pirouette he scored 28.7 and led the dressage going into the show jumping. He followed this up with a class double clear. Despite the bad going in the show jumping, he gave me one of his best rounds.  He skipped round the xc with just a few time penalties to finish 3rd. 

We found the "magic" trick for The Partner's dressage. As well as this, I decided not to practice the flying changes in the warm up as it always whines him up.  As a result, the first flying change in the test, was over before he had thought about it! The second wasn't quite as good but better than normal.
He is usually a banker in the show jumping but he didn't appreciate the ground, just didn't have his usual Wow factor, and rolled a pole. He gave me a lovely ride cross country, despite loosing a shoe half way round. I was then cautious on the turns which gave us a few time. 

V.I.P Vinnie decided to act like a child, and throw his toys out of the pram on the ground - he didn't appreciate running last in all three phases.  He seems to think life should evolve round him. 

Despite all that, he knuckled down and got to work and gave me a very rideable test to lie in 2nd going into show jumping.  We limited the show jumping warm up as the ground had become a ploughed field, not that this was an excuse for one pole down. As always he was so enthusiastic cross country and giving me a great ride.  Unfortunately he ran through the bridle coming to a table, so I took evasive action as it wouldn't have been a good outcome if we had tried to jump it. Sadly, a top 3 placing missed, but he was mega at all the combinations and feels unreal.

Overall a good day at the office and a big thank you to all at Aston le Walls for all their hard work over this week.





The young gun shows the top horses how to do it.

V.I.P Vinnie is now retired from Eventing. He is going to be loaned out and have a career in Dressage.  We will be forever grateful for everything that was achieved with him and everything he taught us. 

Purchased as a 4 year old and was obviously talented from day one. He hasn’t disappointed since.  He loves to be the centre of attention and has always been top dog. 

He likes to perform on the big stages and they bring the best out in him. He now realises there are some young guns around and let's them know who's boss! 

His dressage has improved hugely over the years and we look forward to his future success.

Following XC retirement at his first 5* Vinnie had 2022 on the sidelines and although he competed at the beginning of 2023 it was decided that he should be retired from Eventing. 

Achievements:

2021

3rd After Dressage at his first 5* at Bicton International. Sadly I had to pull him up after the second fence on the xc as I felt a change in his stride pattern. I am so glad I noticed as he injured a tendon. I don't like to imagine what would have happened had I not felt this. Nothing like the HIGHS and LOWS of the sport all in the space of 24 hours at the highest level.

The Partner (Conquer) is part of an Experience Syndicate for £95 per year - This is run by Event Horse Owners Syndicate.  For more information please contact:

https://www.eventhorseownerssyndicate.co.uk/buy-a-share/the-partner/

Conquer is bred to show jump and we bought him as a 6 year old.  He likes his own space and given the choice wouldn’t have anyone in the next door stable. He is a sensitive character .  His confidence improved hugely over the years and this shows in his results and achievements.  

When away at big competitions we have to be one step ahead of him in how to keep him relaxed. He is a machine cross country. Where errors occurred they were not his doing.   He had a very good first half of 2022 finishing at Bramham 4*L with a good dressage, double clear with time faults keeping him out of the prizes.  We then gave him the rest of the year off as he had a small injury but he is back out in 2023 starting with a 7th in the Lincoln OI.

Top Achievements 2023:

Completion of first 5* at Luhumuhlen

All in the set up

Safe to say that moving yards in the middle of the season isn't ideal - however, the team worked unbelievably hard to make it all happen and leaving our last yard in immaculate condition.  A huge thanks goes to all of team. 

Think we were all ready for a holiday once it was done but it was time to bring all the horses back into work for the second half of the season.

We had a very successful day with three horses coming out at Aston Le Walls (3) for their first run after their spring 3 days.  They all did exactly what was asked of them - 3 good tests and double clears with steady cross country.

Mackenzy is stepping up to Intermediate next week at Burgham, with Camee de Muze doing the 3*S and Ballycoog Breaker Boy the 4*S.  Really looking forward to being back there as missed it last year.

Sometimes it's just not your day!!  Poor Conquer (The Partner) came down with a a high temperature on Cross country morning.  It's fair to say that his dressage was below par the day before although there were no signs of a high temp, but just maybe he wasn't feeling on top form - such a shame as he had been feeling great and travelled out really well.  We had really hoped to have a good crack at the cross country as he stormed round it in 2023 with just a glance off towards the end of the course so we were hoping to make amends!! 

However, the weather on cross country morning was tropical rain so perhaps he knew something we didn't!!

A big shout out to Siobhan Binns for looking after him so well and giving him all the attention he deserved. 

On return from Luhumhlen he has been given time to recover  - and as we are in the process of moving yards,  this will delay when he and the others come out for their second half of the season campaign, which I am very much looking forward to. 



Test Done!

As our reputation developed and our success continued, we have evolved. Although we remain committed to our equestrian core, we now supply an exclusive portfolio of luxurious leather accessories.

We have also developed distinct brand positioning through the expansion of our exquisitely designed lifestyle products. As our success grew, we aimed to continue to satisfy the aspirations and demand of our original Albion customer.

All top riders know the importance of safety and with many of the best riders in the world putting their trust in Champion, you know you can too. Wocket Woy & The Pwoducer, Ruby & Katie Walsh, Pippa Funnell MBE, Piggy French, Kitty King and Sophie Wells MBE, to name but a few, all ride in Champion products because they know that Champion products offer supreme levels of protection, while allowing them to focus the job of riding their horses.

Champion has a tremendous safety heritage and the brand has been a driving force in the design and development of protective riding hats for over 40 years. Over this time, design and production technology has been refined, enhanced and perfected to ensure Champion products are based upon the most up-to-date, scientific safety research.

Champion helped to develop and was the first manufacturer to the British Standard PAS015 over 20 years ago. PAS015 is more stringent than other standards.

Some things haven’t changed though. Champion products have always stood up to the most rigorous testing standards and Champion’s hats have always carried the British Standards Institute (BSI)  Kitemark – right from when the brand was first launched over 40 years ago.

The Kitemark stands for continual batch testing and factory inspections and guarantees you that every Champion hat will comfortably out perform the four main areas of testing: penetration, shock absorption, harness strength and stability. On average, every single working day of the year, a Champion hat is independently tested by the British Standards Institute to ensure it exceeds the PAS015 standard.

…Giving you complete confidence in the fact that all Champion products are built to perfection, tested to destruction…

Expert Bits are exactly what they say:

MODERN BIT DESIGNS AT AFFORDABLE PRICES
Expert Bits is the new revolutionary family-owned bitting brand from bitting consultants Matt and Lisa Waterworth.

I am excited to work with Matt and Lisa who use their huge amount of knowledge to ensure our horses are comfortable in the mouth therefore maximising the trainability, development and contentment.  

When they came to assess all the horses I noticed an improvement in all of them and was surprised how many horses have low upper palates.  My go to on many of the horses is the loose ring comfy barrel.

I recommend you have a bitting assessment for your pony or horse and see the difference for yourself.
