Elstar shines at the Sunshine Tour

 

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!

Billy Colman continues to make us proud

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.

Nic Nac’s stellar show debut in the Spanish sunshine

 

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:

Elstar off to a shining start

 

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!

 

Lucca V sold to Germany

Amy’s Profile

 

Amy Ellis

Amy has become a crucial part of our Wodehouse Team over the past few years and is hugely valued for her dedication and care for the horses.

A great team creates a great stable and we value ourselves on having a fantastic atmosphere for the horses to really be at home in their surroundings and with the people who take care of them. Amy brings a great energy to the stable and the horses feel it! We are very lucky to have her here at Wodehouse. 

 

Top reference Billy Colman keeps on winning!

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!
