CRUNCHIE ('Dacher'), a young chestnut powerhouse by Don Bosco, thrilled his owner, Debbie Sharp, by achieving 68% first time out. We're sure they've even better things to report now! Debbie's comments can be read in our Testimonials section.

WELTINA G ('Wicky'), an outstanding State Premium mare by Waikiki, launched her career with her new owner with 4 wins in 6 outings. She was a 'must have' when we bought her and we're confident she'll go to the top!

G VANO, a handsome Galvano gelding, delighted his owner, Emma Hobbs (and us!), by reaching the National Championships,  where he  was placed 8th - no mean achievement for a young horse that's still growing and strengthening - having qualified for the Regionals with marks of 69.66% and 71.72%. He has since confirmed his ability by achieving 6th place in the Novice R Freestyle at the Winter Nationals! His proud owner's comments can be read in our Testimonials section.

WENLAND, a striking dark bay gelding by Wonderland, got off to a flying start following his purchase by Grace Hughes, winning 4 of the first six competitions entered and qualifying for both the Regional and Scottish Championships. Sadly, Grace's career commitments have forced his recent sale, but we know she joins us in wishing him the continued success he deserves.

SALINA, an exceptionally talented and beautiful Salvano mare, quickly brought joy to her new owner, Jocelin Granville-Smith, by being placed 5th in the invitational International Young Dressage Horse class at the Royal Windor International Show.
