Foals 2012 (so far….)

Dolly’s first foal, not even a day old! (Sir Donnerhall/Jazz)

Life is such hard work already!
Yes….you are stunning! (Zack/Mooiman)
With my mum…..:-)
How cute! (Painted Black/Santano) eeeeeek so exciting!

Julie’s hard work is paying off with the birth of three absolutely gorgeous foals. Two more on the way 🙂 We are very excited about what the future holds, watch this space!

Addington Premier League

Addington Premier League was another successful show for us, with some excellent placings and percentages!

Becky won the International 5YO class with Carinsio (pictured in H&H below) and Ryan won the International 6YO class with Rembrandt.

Ryan also had another win riding Charlie in the Young Rider Individual Test scoring 67.3% and gained 2nd place in the Team Test with 66.71%

Becky riding Hannah’s Caluna came 4th in both the Inter 1 and Inter 11 with 69.8% and 67.19% in a very hottly contested class so ‘Princess’ Caluna had her Tiara polished extra well that evening 🙂

The gorgeous Wallenstein just pipped Caluna to 3rd place in the Inter 11 with 67.28% (extra sugar lumps for him!)

Pip riding Julie Lockey’s ‘Reg’ rode a very good Junior Test to earn 3rd place on 67.63% and Josie riding her own Tobias also got 3rd place but in the Young Rider test with 66.44%

Dot in Saumur :-)

Harriette and Dot had a great time in (a very wet) Saumur with some excellent scores for their first ‘International’ show.

They scored 67.79% in the Team Test finishing a fantastic 4th (best of the brits) and the judge from Denmark had Dot in 2nd place! The following day they scored 67.68% in the Individual Test, finishing 8th with the judge from Finland having her in 2nd place again! Then their Freestyle Music Test scored them a very credible 69.07% finishing in 7th place.

Well Done 🙂

Naughty Nose!
Look at that Trot!
A bit wet!
You have got to love her 🙂

Thank you ………..

We would like to thank everyone that attended our ‘Educational & Inspirational Day’ on 31st March. We have had some great feed back from it (as below) and hope to be holding similar events and clinics in the future. We raised £150 for The RDA which was very much appreciated.

“Hi becky, I just wanted to say thankyou for putting a fab day on the 31st March, I really enjoyed my lesson and sooty is going so much better. The demo was really interesting to watch especially how you worked the younger horse, and the farriers talk was fab really interesting 🙂 Thanks for a fab day Becky Hutchinson Xx”

Beaver Hall & Vale View Apr 2012

On 11th April we went to Beaver Hall on a ‘babies’ outing and they all behaved extrememly well!

Becky had a busy day riding Nikki Moxon’s Renoir winning the 4yr old class with a very good test which scored the marks on rideabilty. Then riding our ‘Jack Jack’ Becky won the 5yr old class to qualify for the Shearwater finals. Moving on to Le Chiffre Becky won the Elementarys with 73.44% and 67.65%. Last but certainly not least was Don Angelo winning the first medium with Becky on 71.37% and then winning the second medium with Josie on 69.12%.

The following Sunday we then headed to Vale View where we had 8 horses competing from elementary through to Advanced.

Again a very successful day with lots of 1st and 2nd rosettes and some high percentages.
