Were pleased to have placed Kaleb with a super home.
Good luck to his new owner !
Kaleb VDS
Two Year old chestnut Gelding
Mature 17Hh plus
Sire: Halcyons Koko Dio (Diarado x Halcyons Dark Secret)
Dam: Ava VDS (Abdolute x Der Lord )
This super athletic young horse is available now.
He has generally been overlooked because of his size but is super balanced and athletic and like his father and fathers full brother, may very well be a fantastic jumping horse.
His pedigree is fairly amazing with Diarado, Daddy Cool and Royal Diamond on his sire line and De Niro, Abanos and Ashleigh Lady Pamela (Dam of Ashleigh Drossel Dan) on his dam line.
He is available now as we must make room for this years foals.

Big day for two youngsters today….
Umberto VDS (Uswin x Bloomfield Fine Lady) owned by Holly McMartin and Fletcher VDS owned by Vds and Skye McKenzie Smith had their first outing to a protocol day at boneo today. We couldn’t have been happier to give the two boys a good experience and thank Kerryn Connors for being judge. These days are invaluable for the young horses to have a day out without pressure and all the time in the world to absorb the atmosphere.
Both horses were bred by us and it’s a hugely rewarding day to finally have them out and about.
Fletcher VDS is by Fhilosopher (Fidermark x Romodour) and out of our head mare, GT Donna Fresca (Don Frederico x TB) he has a Weanling younger brother available now.
Thanks to our owners Holly McMartin and Skye McKenzie Smith for entrusting us with your pride and joy. #dressage #uswin #fidermark #donfrederico #youngdressage horse #aitkenssaddlery

Thanks Scott from SKE Horse arenas for laser levelling the indoor at VDS. Beautifully level surface, better than new!
The very bouncy Kibo VDS. His first day in the paddock. The little guy kept mum on her toes exploring and spreading his legs most of the morning before a long nap!
Kibo VDS is sired by Kilimanjaro (Bordeaux x Don Shufro x Westpoint) and out of GP mare Heathmont De Nina (De Niro x Sirocco).
The first of many hit outs on the arena for our last foal of the season Kibo VDS.
Kibo has masses of swing and bounce being out of his Grand Prix mother and by the very consistent Kilimanjaro, this guy is certain to have an exciting career.

Boneo Competition this weekend was cold and wet but great fun for the VDS team.
We couldn’t be more proud of Rhiannon Denham piloting Aea Lorenzo to two 3rd placings in the medium. Through a lot of hard work and determination Rhiannon has really stepped up with Renzo and thanks always to Shanying Chng, she is relishing in this opportunity.
Ant took our own and Lorraine Dwyer’s Heathmont De Nina into her first PSG test. We both breathed a very big sigh of relief when she decided to actually breath in the warm up and produced some beautiful work. Unfortunately this test only requires Four times and three times changes and Nero was keen to show her twos and tempi changes for costly marks, but this is just the beginning of what this mare can do so we were thrilled with the milestone.
Ant also piloted Annette Van Breen’s Gelding Laurel view Tyson VDS to wins in both Elementary tests on Friday in torrential conditions - neither of them batting an eyelid.
Congrats to our students who competed over the weekend and had their own milestone achievements and fun out with their Horses and friends.
Thanks to Boneo Park for putting on these comps and providing a super facility and ammenities.
Thanks to our sponsors Aitkens Saddlery for your ongoing support and our owners, clients and students for their support enabling us to do what we do !
Fresh paddock feels. Yearling colts having a hit out.
PSI Dressage and Jumping With the Stars.
Annette Van Breens beautiful gelding Laurel View Tyson VDS did us proud, producing a very cool and workmanlike test for Ant in the 6yo class. In for the second round tomorrow after finishing seventh today.
Congratulations Ant and Annette, and Tyson’s Breeders Tracy and Daniel Baumgartner.
