Elstar STM Z takes 3rd place in CSIYH* 5yo Grand Prix

We are delighted with the performance of our young stallion Elstar STM Z (Elvis Ter Putte x Cassini I) making his international debut at Chard CSI** over the weekend. 

After a classy clear round on Day 1 to qualify for the Grand Prix, he jumped a super double clear in the Grand Prix to take 3rd place. Thanks to lockdown 3.0 this was only his second show of the year and so we are very excited to see what he can do going forwards!

Watch his jump off round below:

 

Billy Colman takes 2nd in CSI** Medium Grand Prix

Billy Colman made his return to International competition after a long Corona break a very successful one, taking a superb 2nd place in the Medium Tour Grand Prix at Chard CSI**. 

A fantastic double clear saw India & Colman slot into 2nd place behind good friend Georgia Tame who took the winning spot, and the podium was completed by Irish rider Shane Breen. 

Watch their round below!

Wodehouse Voadicia makes her show debut a winning one!

We were delighted with our lovely homebred mare ????????? ???????? (???????? ???? ???????????? ? ?????? ?) jumping a super double clear at her first ever show to win the 4-year-old class at Anvil Park Stud. We are very excited about this talented mare! 

Winning start to our 2021 season

Due to a long Coronavirus and then EHV break, it is only now that we were able to do our first show of the year, but the horses picked up where they left off with some super results over the two days at the new Keysoe International.

Billy Colman made his start to the season a winning one, taking top spot in a competitive 1m30 class – watch his video below:

Atiya completed her first show with H Rubertha R 6, owned by The Walker Family, with two top 3 placings in the 1m20 classes and an unlucky pole in the 1m30 class on day 2.

Atiya also jumped double clear in the 1m20 class with our exuberant Goldenboy for a lower placing and India & Florida VDL jumped a couple of super rounds in the 1m40 classes for an unfortunate pole in each. 

We are very much looking forward to the season ahead with an exciting bunch of horses! 

Wodehouse Voadicia

2017 mare 

Vrielink Vans Gravenstafel x Silvio I 

Wodehouse Voadicia is by our late resident stallion, Vrielink Vans Gravenstafel, and out of one of our homebred broodmares, Wodehouse Boudica. Boudica, herself sired by Silvio I, showed great ability loose jumping as a young horse – with an excellent back end – however due to injury was never able to continue this under saddle. She has instead been a very valuable asset to our breeding programme and leaves her fantastic stamp on all of her offspring. 

Voada has now started her career under saddle and has a great mentality and is super careful on the jumps. She has an easy balance and looks to be very scopey; an exciting young mare for the future!

Elstar STM Z – Stallion at Stud

Elstar STM Z 

Elvis Ter Putte x Cassini I

2016 stallion approx 16hh 

Elvis is an exciting young stallion based here at Wodehouse Stud. He has not yet began his career as a sire, but in the sport he is showing all the qualities to make a fantastic competitor. 

He is compact and elastic with a super balanced canter and is showing a lot of scope. Paired with this, he is a beautiful model; super commercial and very flashy. He has a great technique on the jumps and finds it all very easy with a great mentality for the job. 

We have high hopes for this young talent, both in the sport and as a sire.
