Nearly eventing! A great first outing for the boys with Ellie Clarke supported at each stage by Michael Potter
⭐️ and teachers pet goes to Brackenspa Derringer who is Looking every step The event horse as he develops in confidence.
Kinsky Abraham and Desert Storm were super excited to have their feet on grass again and had a lovely, confident spin round with Ellie who is taking over the reins for the rest of the season.
Let’s hope we don’t go from wet to concrete!!
Furst Summer didn’t disappoint at the Novice silver regionals.
He got 67% and was 7th in a strong class

Elms farm
Kinsky Abraham also headed to Elms Farm for the dressage.
He got two blue rosettes with a 63% and a 64% in his Novice tests.
He always tries so hard, but secretly I think he’d rather be out eventing 😜
Elms farm BD 21/5/24
Another trip to Elms farm to do dressage. Brackenspa Derringer growing in confidence and education all the time. To finish with a 1st and 2nd in his Prelim tests with 67% and 66%.
At only 5yrs old, we are really excited for the future with this young stallion

Our first heartbeat scan of the year. A wonderful sight as we start to plan our 2025 foals
This is an embryo by Airborn.
Exciting times ahead
Taking one for the team to support the 2024 eventing campaign!!
More circles than I have done in years but pleased to say the Brackenspa Derringer has completed his qualification for the Carthargo league….. I think that is the right thing 😂😂
Kinsky Abraham loves circles as much as me but is proving pretty consistent at this level and if I’m not careful apparently there is some festival I may have to attend!!
And, true to form, and in a snaffle to support the eventing team Desert Storm stormed both his tests with Emily Williams to take two red rosettes!!
A little video for you all to enjoy!!
OPEN DAY 24/3/24
For the ones of you that couldn’t make it, here is a short video of our boys strutting their stuff today.
They really were amazing
What a wonderful day we had today.
A massive thank you to everyone who came, we had a great turnout and the weather wasn’t too bad.
Thank you to our amazing team who made this happen, you really are the best.
More videos and photos to follow shortly
Open day 2024 over and out xx
The boys have been busy with a screwdriver 🪛 and now have their super new signs up with all their pedigree on. 🐴
What an incredible day we have had at the British Breeding stallion show at Addington.
Our boys absolutely did us proud.
Samaii, Furst Summer and Dunhill Desert Storm, we’re all incredible. They all put on their own fabulous performances to show the audience what incredible boys we have.
Thank you to all the visitors we got in the stables and all the super comments about them.
We adore them and it’s so lovely to see that you do too.
A long long day but well worth it.
They will sleep well tonight and so will we!!!!
🥇 Dressage stars 🌟
The boys certainly showed everyone how to dance today at Vale View Equestrian
🐴 Brackenspa Derringer prelim 68.1% and 66% on his very first BD outing and behaved like a pro
🐴 Furst Summer Novice 70.3% and 62.4%. Over the moon to hit the 70% mark, but he was tired in the second test.
🐴 Kinsky Abraham Novice 68.5% and 65%. Mr Consistent as always
Poor Dunhill Desert Storm was sad that his bus left without him today, but he did the regionals last week, so a quiet week for him
We are so pleased with these boys, here is a little clip so you can admire them too
16.2hh 6yr old buckskin gelding by Negro
This stunning young horse has been produced slowly and careful. He has three super paces and absolutely loves to jump, we feel he would excel in an eventing or showjumping home.
Full history known, as he was born with us, as well as being backed and educated under saddle here.
Hacks out in company, but we haven’t tried him alone
We have really taken the time to produce him, so he hasn’t as yet been out to any shows.
Easy and straightforward to handle on the ground and will happily live in or out.
Currently unshod, vaccinated up to date, teeth done regularly and good to load
Full set of X-rays available
An exciting prospect for the future
Trotting into the weekend with Dunhill Desert Storm
Today he attended the BD Elementary silver regional final and he didn’t disappoint.
He’s such a versatile stallion that can turn his hoof to anything and today proved it. He ended up with just shy of 65%, which would have been higher but his driver got carried away and turned early for medium trot! Despite this, we are over the moon that he qualified and pleased with the result, he finished just outside the top ten.
We are now going to aim him at Medium and crack on with eventing him this season.
🦄 Just a reminder our open day is on Saturday 23rd March 🦄
Here is Samaii at 20yrs young, today, getting ready to flick his toes for you all (please ignore his assistant, she isn’t as sound as him!!!)
If you wish to bring a stallion to parade then please do get in touch. The more the merrier
🎄 Pre Christmas outing 🎄
Today we loaded up four stallions and headed to Vale View Equestrian
Kinsky Abraham did two super novice tests for two second places with 65% and 62%
Furst Summer also did two lovely novice tests for a second and third place with 68% and 66%
Dunhill Desert Storm was a little upset by the wind, but being the show master he is still managed a first place in the elementary with 64% and also attempted his first medium with a second place and 62%
Brackenspa Derringer didn’t want to be left behind, but also didn’t fancy circles today, so he had a spin round the cross country course while we were there.
Four very good boys who will definitely be expecting Father Christmas 🎅!!
Sadly no video of Kinsky Abraham as he went in early so we missed videoing him, but a little compilation of the other three
