Wales and West HPI (25-28 July)

Portugal European Championships - Children on Horses

This was a great experience for Emily, riding our own and Michael Whitakers Witch.

Emily and the rest of the team finished with Team Bronze, unfortunately Emily could not finish in the individual final as Witch picked up an injury whilst jumping. This was a massive dissapointment, however they will both be back to fight another day.

Our thanks go to Corrienne Braken and John Killingbeck for all their hard work out there, and to the sponsors - Next, Naf Products .......

We have recently had lots of emails and calls letting us know how our horses and ponies have been going.

Jodie Simmonds has had a great time on Noble Superted, winning the winter Champs and taking Reserve Restricted WHP. Then the following week they qualified for both the Nursery Stakes and the 133cm WHP at RIHS. We alo ish Jodie the best of luck with her lovely new novice 143cm Noble Superhero. Katy Prince has been enjoying a great time on Noble Toreen Lass also winning at the Winter Champs and qualifying for RIHS 133cm and Nursery Stakes with wins at BSPS Area 5 and 4a. They also won the Mixed height Open at NCPA on 15/5.

We had a lovely message from Casey Ormrod about her lovely Connermara she had from us in November last year. Glanmore Prince and Casey have been doing lots of Novices and were delighted to win a strong class of twenty at Cheshire Premiere show.

Charles Richards is going great guns with  Noble Bambi, narrowly missing out on their RIHS qualification with seconds and thirds but they will get there.

Laughtons Bramble Pie has qualified for RIHS for another year with Alice Barnes, Bramble was bought out of Goresbridge sales as a four year old by us, now 18 years old and looking as well as ever he will once again love the Hickstead track.

Noble Bing and Michelle Baker won the Lightweight Horse Workers at Royal Windsor, another to add to Bings ever growing list of wins.

Jo Callwood has qualified Noble Romeo for RIHS, Jo tells us the evergreen Romeo had a hard winters hunting after the loss of other horses he must be the hardest working show horse on the circuit.

Noble Jigsaw and Heidi Coy have been out and winning including the Nursery Stakes at Notts County. well done Heidi and Jiggy.
