"Smooth Approach" 2002 (Jerry)
Sire : Touchdown; Dam : Castle Maid; Irish Sport Horse

Imported from Ireland in early 2006, Jerry has been with us for about 6 months.  He has been out jumping locally and has been xc schooling a number of times.  The classic Irish Sport Horse and related to top advanced horse "Coral Cove", Jerry is a classically bred eventer with good confirmation and all the ability for the job.

"Bright Side" 2001 (Clive)
Sire : Faldo; Dam : Jefta; KWPN

Came to us in November 2007 having showjumped in Holland.  Clive has not put a foot wrong, he has won or come 2nd in every showjumping class he has entered.  He is competing at 1m15 and jumping 1m35 at home.  Very flash on the flat and a great attitude, Clive came 2nd in his first two pre novice events and has jumped double clear at Novice, coming 7th at Withington Manor.

QUEEN OF THE DESERT
 
 
Stunning five year old grey mare, bought out of show jumping in France. Her sire was 4th in the Olympics as a showjumper.  This horse has incredibly athletic paces and jump, she has jumped double clear in four pre novices and is now ready to go novice.  She is jumping double clears at discovery/newcomers comfortably and schooling over 1m25 at home.  Although careful and scopey enough to make a top class pure showjumper she also has the paces and attitude to be a fantastic eventer too.  A very special type hard to find.  £30,000

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

Recently Imported, Poppy was broken in August 2006.  She is a strikingly beautiful mare with loose athletic paces and jump and a wonderful, trainable temperament.  She is very easy to ride and is jumping small showjumps and has seen xc fences incl. water.  We fell in love with her at first sight and feel with careful training and nurturing she could become a top class event horse.

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.  Hopefully a star for the near future!
