Cassey’s Profile

CASSEY WRIGHT

Cassey has been a valuable member of our team at Wodehouse Stud for many years and now works with us on a full time basis. 

Cassey is a dedicated horsewoman, with a very high standard of working and an undeniable love for all of the horses. We are very lucky to have her here at Wodehouse Stud.

Cassey has also taken over the reins of our own superstar Westwinds Ego, with whom India competed at the European Championships with Team GB in 2015, and is pursuing her own career in showjumping under our roof as well with guidance and training from Louise. She also competes her own Goldenboy, who is also a Wodehouse reference, and is establishing herself at 1m20 level in the ring. 

 

Lucca V

2016 16.2hh chestnut gelding (Cohinoor VDL (Cornet Obolensky) x Voltaire)

Lucca has all the ability to make a future Grand Prix horse. He is tall & scopey, but light in his build and way of going. As a 3-year-old he won the loose jumping competition at Addington, having always shown great potential for the sport.

He has been slowly produced allowing him time to grow into himself. He jumped a few shows as a 4-year-old and made his international debut as a 5 year old. 

He is very rideable and has a great brain, taking everything we have asked of him in his stride. He rides beautifully on the flat, with three super paces and he is also established in his flying changes. He is an absolute gentleman.

We believe that Lucca has all the attributes to make a Grand Prix show jumper.

The best is yet to come from this exciting young horse!

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.

Elstar STM Z

2016 16.1hh grey gelding (Elvis Ter Putte x Cassini I)

Elvis is a very exciting young horse. He is a beautiful model and a lovely modern type. He is very careful by nature and has an excellent technique on the jump. He has been slowly produced with us since purchasing as a 3-year-old and has firmly become a yard favourite!

He already begun his international career as a 5-year-old, placing 3rd in the CSIYH Grand Prix at Chard. Since then he has been slowly developed and has competed successfully to 1m30 level. He has a super attitude to work and finds everything very easy; we are optimistic that even the best is yet to come for this young talent.

Price on application.

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!
