India enjoyed a productive three weeks under the Spanish sunshine showing in Oliva Nova for MET III with her Stephex team. We enjoyed a lovely weekend there to visit and support! Check out some snapshots from her time there:
Another wonderful Wodehouse Reference, ‘Elstar STM Z’, doing great things at the Sunshine Tour!
We have loved watching this new partnership go from strength to strength, jumping 9 clear rounds at 1m30 and 1m35 level across the tour with 8 placings! What a perfect team they make; the future looks bright for these two!
Small, but mighty. Wodehouse Reference ‘Billy Colman’ is nothing but. Together with young rider Summer Tanner, Colman delivered no less than 5 wins and 10 top 10 placings over the course of their time in the Sunshine Tour.
They concluded their time in the Spanish sunshine with Colman taking Summer to new heights jumping her first ever 1m45 LR class! It was great to be able to visit and watch them in action live! Congratulations team on a fantastic tour! We predict an exciting year ahead for this combination.
We could not be more proud of our lovely 6-year-old gelding ‘Nic Nac’ making his show debut the past few weeks in the beautiful Spanish setting of the Sunshine Tour in Vejer with Atiya.
With this being his first ever show, he took everything in his stride and made some excellent results and beautiful rounds of jumping. This just goes to confirm his excellent character and also love for the job!
Check out his rounds below and some snapshots from this special few weeks:
We are so proud to see Wodehouse Reference ‘Elstar STM Z’ already doing great things together with his new rider Camilla Siekman at their first show together with already lots of clear rounds and placings in Oliva Nova MET I! Looking forward to following them competing at the Sunshine Tour in the coming weeks!
He will be greatly missed, but we are excited to watch him go on to do great things with his new rider! Watch this space…
We have lost count of the amount of victories and top placings that Summer & Colman have accumulated over the past year. A true match made in heaven! They topped off a fantastic week at Hickstead with a top 10 placing in the Douglas Bunn Challenge taking on some of the iconic derby fences with ease. Congratulations to everyone involved in this success story!
Born a little early, this little guy, nicknamed ‘Apple’ has already shown he is a fighter. And not only does he seem to have a great strong mindset, but he also has the looks too!
Apollo is a gorgeous colt by Chacoon Blue and out of homebred mare Wodehouse Voadicia, herself by out late stallion Vrielink Vans Gravenstafel.
Delighted to have welcomed our first foal of 2023 with Wodehouse Eros, a stunning colt by Chaccothage Blue PS (Chacco Blue x Conthargos) out of our homebred mare Wodehouse Boudica (herself by Silvio I). He is looking to be a very exciting young horse for the future showing all the early signs of being a horse for the top sport!
We are delighted to be partnering with Seaver, a Paris-based startup, founded in 2016, which was born out of a desire to bring the technological advances that many other sports benefit greatly from into the equestrian world.
Going forwards, India and Atiya will be competing in their new SAFEFIT Airbag vests; the lightest airbags on the market of which their slim fit and technical fabric allows full freedom of movement. The girls love them and feel super confident with the additional safety aspects and say they cannot even feel that they have it on!
