"Smart Approach" 1995 (Jack)
Sire : Double K; Dam : Lady Daisy

Jack is Advanced with 250 points.  His first big win was Aldon CCI* in 2003, he was then placed at Hartpury CCI** in 2004.  He has won and been placed in numerous Intermediate and Advanced ODEs.  He was 3rd in the World Cup Qualifier at Chatsworth and went to the World Cup Final in Malmo.  In 2007 he was 9th in the CCI*** in Ireland and then 7th at Blenheim CCI***.

"Roma M.L." 1999 (Jill)
Sire : Bazaar Dam : Capriole   Oldenburg Grey Mare 15.3hh
 
This diminutive little mare is a jumping machine with unquestionable ability.  She was placed 13th in the CIC*** World Cup Qualifier at Tattersalls earlier this year with one of only 3 double clear rounds.  She has also jumped double clear round Compiegne CCI** and clear at Jardy CIC***.  Her dressage has needed attention and is improving with every event culminating in her most recent CIC*** with a score of 53 penalties - only 7 marks behind the leaders who were experienced 4 star horses.  We hope to aim Jill for Blenheim or Boekelo CCI*** this autumn with a view to running at Badminton CCI**** next year.

"Hello Dolly" 2000 (Dolly)
 

Hello Dolly is a new addition to the yard having only joined us 2 weeks ago from my brother-in-law's yard.  She has showjumped to 1m40 level and will be embarking on a new eventing career next year with us.  She has proved so far to be very flashy on the flat and brave and powerful across country.  We are hoping to be able to keep her long enough to see some good results early next year.  She is a 16.1hh Swedish Warmblood and is very light and easy to ride.  This winter we are hoping to have some fun showjumping her and work on her dressage as this phase will be completely new to her.

'Nayobel'  2001
Sire: Showman  Dam:Hill Bernia  Swedish warmblood 
 
Bell, as we call her, arrived at the same time as Dolly.  She has also jumped to about 1m30 level.  She is a rangy 16.2hh brown mare.  She is very steady and rhythmical to a fence and bold and honest cross country.  Her movement is very good, but she has a little way to go with her basic schooling.  We really like this horse and I cannot wait to start eventing her next year.

"Fantasy Island" 2003 (Poppy)
Sire : Biskwit; Dam: Plotka; Polish bred

Poppy has been with us since she was a 3 yr old.  A stunning looking mare who is really rising to the challenge.  She evented at Pre-Novice level last year and has now recently completed her first CIC* with a very impressive clear round.  She will continue to campaign at Novice level this season with the hope of maybe going to Le Lion D'Angers 6 yr old championships at the end of the year.

Fun Time Frankie
Sire:  Nederland   Dam:  Bella   2000
 
Frank came from my brother in law, Graham Fletcher.  My sister has been showjumping him for the past few years.  Though at first sight not the obvious stamp of an eventer, Frank seems to be made for the job.  He came 2nd in his first Novice at Aldon,  3rd at Portman and 2nd at Powderham Castle and Withington Manor. Recently came 12th in his first 3 day event at Tattersalls in Ireland. Continuing on from this he has also now come 12th at his first CCI** at Necarne and was 7th at Aldon CCI* at the end of the season.  We could not have asked more from him  this year.
