Harroway Stables

18/10/2024

This is worth the longish read .

There are a few people ( dealers “retainers /rehomers “ )around who appear not to do sufficient checks , who pass these lovely horses on as quickly as possible with minimum input . It is not good for the breeds reputation to the wider horse world .

28/08/2024

It’s that time of year again to open the doors of Harroway . Somehow in these uncertain times with dreadful misinformed articles in broadsheet newspapers, it’s imperative we keep beating the drum of positivity , that horses are treasured , loved and treated as the sentient beings we know them to be . Please log into the National Racehorse week website to book in.
We look forward to welcoming lots of people on the 15th.

What an epic weekend , such fun but tiring ! Taking BK ( Balthazar King ) to Aintree for the Legends parade .Thank you to the lovely Anita Brackstone AB Equine Transport for taking us we both agreed 3.30 was a tad early ! It was interesting seeing the racecourse in its normal guise , rather than empty when we are there for the RoR championship show.

Today we had an RoR practice show . The lovely girls who help out at Harroway ,made the weekend possible ( very proud of them 🌟) the horses were beautifully plaited and presented , the yard immaculate and they all supported each other, Thank you.

Katie Dashwood judged and competitors were lucky to have her ride their horses so beautifully, as well as dispensing great advice . Also How many judges come bearing delicious cake ? Though the numbers were not huge 26 over 3 classes it was a very relaxed happy sunny day .
Thanks are also due to Roly Rickcord for stewarding and representing RoR , not to mention being the king of Quiches , such a yummy lunch . Lindsay Bryars being secretary and lastly all the fabulous competitors , Antoinette Mckeowen Juanita Coulson James Young Susie Flook and all my helpers.

It’s been a busy few days with the run up to the Open Day on Saturday , but we made the annual pilgrimage to my most favourite country show Breamore . Quiet , calm and well run. Zarkandar (Gino ) loves it and was beautifully shown in hand for me by Paige I'Anson to win in hand , he then won the veterans ridden and went RoR champion , he is very kind to his veteran jockey !!! Paul Brocklehurst’s gorgeous golden ginger boys came and Major Mac was second and Reserve champion with Olivia and lastly Bahamian Boy ( Bertie) at his and Ellana Woodthorpe’s first show were 3rd I hand and second in his ridden . Huge thanks to Patrick Bauserman for the lovely pictures.
Now exam season is over it’s wonderful to have lots more help in the yard ! The hay is made and the horses approve once they had overcome the horror of large alien stacks in the fields !!!

Praying 🙏 lots of people can come on Saturday to raise money for my three chosen charities. Bring a picnic 🥪🥖🧀🥗🍎🍇🍌Tea coffee cake and biscuits will be available .
