It was the first clinic for Emmanuelle Lord and Mr Valentine! With less than half a dozen rides outside he was a superstar, not bothered by the people watching by the ring, horses coming and going, dog barking etc! π He is just learning how to balance that big canter but with time and strength I can't wait to see how he develops π
It was a beautiful day for a swim yesterday!! Who knew it could be summer in April!! π Stibby and Ella enjoyed cooling off in the pond after a good ride πͺ
Golden State and Emmanuelle Lord are working their way on up!! Honing some new skills that hopefully can get showcased in the show ring this upcoming season π€© Is it summer yet?! βοΈ
Throwback to Milky's ride at our fall clinic with Team Irwin Dressage. Can't wait for spring to get our annual refresher before show season 2024!! π
Can't help but feel like dancing when it's above freezing in January!! π€Έ
The first clip of Mr Valentine under saddle is here!! After about a month since his release from quarantine and 2 weeks back under saddle we're pretty excited about this young man!! He's green but smart and willing and a fancy mover even barefoot π€©

In 2024 we are expecting a 3/4 sibling to this stunning little lady! Branley Ash Estelle is living her best life at her new home in Nova Scotia!! We thought she was pretty special and although we don't have access to Golden Grey semen here in NA we do have his fabulous sire Golden State right here at home π₯° So - due early May 2024 we are looking foward to a little Golden State/Escamillo. π
Nieuwmoed's Mr Valentine
They have arrived!! π I am excited to introduce the newest young man to join our roster for 2024 - Nieuwmoed's Mr Valentine.
Sired by up and coming international FEI pony Beauty W (Orchard Boginov x Sjapoer ox x Vita Nova's Hanassie). At just 7 years old, Beauty W was on the Dutch European Championship team in 2022 with Esmee Broers and was very successful: With 74.772% they had the highest score on their team helping them secure the silver medal. Their individual freestyle was good for fourth place with a score of 77.485%. Beauty W was then sold to the young, talented German FEI pony rider Nora Feldmann who has successfully competed him to many wins, top placings and scores over 70% this season.
The dam of Nieuwmoed's Mr. Valentine, Nieuwmoed's Little Princess is a full sister of the stallion Nieuwmoed's Mr Right (Orchard Red Prince x Coelenhage's Purioso x Valentino). Nieuwmoed's Milord (by Turfhorst Landlord) also comes from the reserve champion mare Keur Preferent Sabine. Among the 13 descendants of Sabine, 5 are approved stallions including Spoorzicht's Salinero (2005, by Orchard Boginov), approved abroad and subsequently a sports pony in Sweden; and the FEI pony Nieuwmoed's Captain (2010, by Orchard Red Prince), Finnish champion for young dressage ponies 4 yrs and 5 yrs.
Valentine stands 149cm and is licensed NRPS including x-ray evaluation and semen analysis. He will be presented to Westfalen NA in 2024. π¦
Look who's a big kid now!! Branley Ash Zircona is growing up and learning new things. She's the very first Milky Way kid we've kept to start and develop. This was her 4th ride off the lunge and maybe her 8th ride ever! She will be looking for her future dance partner once she's got a solid foundation to build on thanks to Lord Kehres Dressage π¦π
Golden State and Emmanuelle Lord ended their 2023 show season winning all 3 classes for a well earned Small Tour Open Championship at the Bromont classique de dressage automnale. The highlight was this beautiful I1 test which earned them 71.765% ππ
This lovely red dun colt by Deja D'Or out of Jaya-Dessa (Keur Elig. mare by Special D) is looking for his future dancing partner. He will finish small horse size with 3 super gaits and the best character. He was recently named Premium at his Weser-Ems inspection π€©
Please contact Hilton Hall Sport horses at [email protected] for details.
Deja D'Or and Emmanuelle Lord had a great time at Westar Farms last weekend!! They won their 4-1 class with nearly 70% π€© I sadly forgot my camera so no pics but this little clip will have to do. This pony continues to exceed my hopes and dreams, I can't wait to see what these two will accomplish in the years to come. π₯°
2022 Deja D'Or/Lyra N colt
Here is the first little bit of the young lad!! π₯° Lyra is a wonderful first time momma and he is fancier every day. Definitely a cross to repeat ;)
Next to play in the snow - Stibby!! While Daniel Kehres is off playing in the sunny Florida sand, Stibby is keeping fit frolicking in the snow with Lordy Dressage βοΈ With any luck Dan and Stibby will reunite in time for show season 2022 πͺ
Now that the busiest season is over and Emmanuelle Lord is back in the saddle again, Deja D'Or is working on big kid things for "his" turn at show season 2022!! π€©
Freedom!
This is FREEDOM!!! Sorry for the crappy cell phone video but someone was super happy to get a proper roll and many good bucks in after a long quarantine. Welcome to Canada, Candyman π₯³π¨π¦
