Billy Colman

BILLY COLMAN

Cevin Z x Vechta

2011 grey gelding approx. 16.1hh


Colman is a yard favourite for sure. He is a little horse with a huge heart!

Colman has an exceptional record, up to 1m45 level nationally and internationally, and is rarely out of the ribbons. He loves his job and always wants to jump a clear round. He would suit a competitive rider who loves to win! Or equally he would be a super horse for Childrens/Juniors/Young Riders as he is so consistent and already has experience jumping at Junior and Young Rider Nations Cup shows.

This year he jumped double clear in the Medium Tour Grand Prix at Chard CSI** to take 2nd place in a very competitive jump off and placed 2nd and 4th in the 1m40 classes at the Youth Nations Cup Show in Wierden as well as stepping up to jump his first World Ranking Grand Prix. 

Colman is a dream to handle and work with, he loves hacking alone or in company and rides very well on the flat and laterally. He is however a forward going ride when it comes to jumping so we would be looking for a rider to complement that if he was to be viewed. 

Colman is half brother to Billy Dorito, who under Darragh Kenny competes at 1.50m level, and Billy Marmite who as a 7 year old is competing up to 1.40m.

National Championships 2020 – Round Up

It was great to be back out competing at our first show post lockdown, and what better place to do it than in the beautiful setting of the Bolesworth Estate at the British Showjumping National Championships.

Chesterfield Z was our star of the show placing in the top 10 of both his Championships with Atiya. Firstly, the Under 16 National Championship on Thursday in which the pair finished 7th jumping a beautiful first round clear with an unfortunate time penalty keeping them out of the jump off. He then produced another fantastic clear on the final day of competition in the 1m30 National Championship where they placed 9th.

We were also delighted with our lovely 4-year-old stallion Elstar STM Z who behaved impeccably at his first stay away show taking the atmosphere all in his stride. He jumped two super clear rounds in the 4-year-old classes and in doing so picked up a 4th placing also!

Atiya also stepped up to jump her first 1m45 class with our own 10-year-old gelding Florida VDL in the Under 21s Championship and put in a good performance in the Grand Prix Qualifier/Junior Viewing Trial gaining valuable experience at this level to take forwards.

We are now very much looking forward to our next show which will be Hickstead at the beginning of September, and look forward to this week visiting India in her new base in Germany!
