Our new mare finally arrived today, she is a 2 year old by Vamiro M, (Olympic Ramiro /Voltaire} out of Werosa ( Weltmeyer/Lauries Crusador} she has settled in well and will be covered by Sempers Spirit next spring.

07.11.06

Sempers Spirit is really going well at his new home in Ireland, today he went to the loose jumping qualifiers and came 4th amongst 30+ other well bred horses, he has qualified for the finals later this year.

Today we took Urbanus to the AES grading at Solihull, Alex Thompson rode him for us and did a wonderful job. Urban got graded with Registered status, not bad going as he was in good company of 51 other well bred horses, he was the only coloured in the ridden section, he jumped round foot perfect and did us proud.

Urban is going very well, he has competed in 2 dressage competitions, coming 3rd in both with great positive comments from the judges. Due to Mathew being to busy with his ponies on his last year, Urban has a new rider Alex Thompson.
He has been with Alex just a few weeks now and they are looking really good together. He says he is a lovely stallion to work with and has a great temperament. Alex is a quiet but effective rider and really gets the best out of Urban. He is already clocking up his double clears aswell as being well placed. He will be staying with Alex for the foreseeable future and will continue jumping.

Nekoma probably the most successful coloured stallion of all time sadly has passed away. He was competed by Jürgen Kenn at international level showjumping and Nekoma was said to be a great sportsman and a trusted friend. He was a great Puissance specialist regularly clearing 2.30 metres. At 6 years of age he took part in the grand prix at Aachen and at 7 he was one of the 3 most successful German show jumping horses of his age group. He is said to pass on an impressive natural jump, presence and ability. His lifetime winnings exceed 30,000. Although he was never really used in his younger days, the horses he has produced speak for themselves, there are several Nekoma progency competing at high levels around Europe. We ourselves have used Nekoma and have been very impressed with his stock, we feel it is a sad loss of such a wonderful horse. Our thoughts are with his owners.

  1st May Beaverhall EC

8th April CHAPS UK grading day

 

We had a great day on Saturday , Spirit got 1st approved as a dressage stallion which means he will he have to re assessed within 2 years time, the judges thought he was immature still, so hopefully another year on his back and he will fly through and get fully graded. He is only just turned 3 and hasn’t really done anything, so this year we will have him out at some shows and get him more educated. He is getting ready to set off again to be trained on the dummy, due to the non stop of enquiries we have had for him this year we felt he wasn’t ready for covering naturally, so are doing AI with him, he will only be covering a limited number of mares this year anyway. All his foal will get CHAPS UK paperwork with full verified breeding.

 

 

 

Urban got fully graded as a showjumping stallion and also passed his BSJA assessment; he had only arrived back from Belgium 2 weeks previous, and had only been hacking for 2 weeks after having a well deserved break over there. He has only been under saddle 10 and half months so a big thank you to Mathew Sampson who rode him at the grading after only sitting on him 3 times, it just shows what a good temperament he has as Mathew is only 15 and still on ponies, Urban was the only one to jump round clear. Mathew can now take it easy and get used to him better ready for the up and coming shows. This was the hardest grading CHAPS has done, all the system has been changed and it seems for the better, out of over 30 stallions only 6 graded and 2 got 1st approved.
