Hello

We've been all over the place the last few weeks.

The Free Jumping clinic was a great success and i think everyone went home feeling great about the day.

I've been over to Germany to see Arazmataz and he's doing really well.  He came 2nd again the other week and his rider really loves him, however, I hope he will be back soon as this rider is missing him a lot.

Worldwide is progressing well and will be off to do some competitions with Maria in the next few weeks.

Anneke has been doing well with 3rd and 4th place with Cleo and Mississippi Gal, the video will be on you tube and page on facebook very soon.

All the jumpers are doing well getting in their double clears.  I am now training with Tina Goosen alongside Di Lampard so fingers acrossed for a good indoor season.

We're planning another open day in feb/march time to show the stallions off before the breeding season, so watch this space for some dates.

Hey everyone

It's been very busy at the stud the last few weeks.  The open day was a great success, all the horses performed so well ridden by Anneke, the videos are slowly been put onto you tube and our face book page.

 

Arazmataz is doing well in Germany, he was second a few weeks ago in a 1m40/1m45 class and is off to some more shows in the coming weeks

Maria Eilberg is very pleased with Worldwide, his lateral work is really coming on and we look forward to seeing him on the circuit soon, and of course we all congratulate Maria for her success at the Europeans.

We are holding the free jumping clinic this weekend starting at 11am so please feel free to visit the stud, hopefully the sun will hold out for us.

Hi

I Hope everyone is well.  Its been all go the last few weeks with horses in for rehab and schooling.  All the rehab horses have been returned to full health and are back home with happy owners. 

We have a lovely young stallion with us at the moment to continue breaking.  He's thrown a few naughty tricks at us but generally he's lovely.  His owner was very pleased with his progress last week so fingers crossed he carries on been a good boy!

Kiss PJ any myself trained with Di yesterday and she was the best she has ever been, its been a tough few months with her but we're finally getting it.

Mississippi Gal is competing at Beaver Hall on sat so we wish Anneke the best of luck.

Finally a date for the diary we have decided to hold an open day alongside the BHHS show here on August 27th.  As well as mares and foals been assessed for the show and gradings, we will display all the horses for sale do some demos with the stallions and once most of the horses are settled open the stud up for everyone to have a walk around.  My sponsors will all be there to talk about their products and how they can help you and horse animals.

Worldwide is still doing well at the Eilbergs and we're off to see him next week, hopefully i'll video him and upload it to the facebook group page.

Hi

It's been a busy week at Parklands.  Wales and West went well with the jumpers but we left early due to weather.

Mississippi Gal came 2nd in her last dressage outing with 75% and Rag Time came 3rd.  Anneke was very pleased with  both of them.

Unfortunately Cherry has pulled a muscle so we've decided to leave Hickstead this week and let the team prepare for Bolesworth at the beginning of July.  All of the babies are broken in now and going well.

Worldwide has settled in the Eilberg's and all is going well there.

take care

Hi

 

I hope everyone is well.  As always things are very busy at the stud.  Our new rider Anneke is settling in well and the dressage horses are doing superb.  Mississippi Gal and Rag Time will be out at the weekend so fingers crossed they do well.

The show jumpers are all doing well we had a great few days at Wales before the rain hit.  I wasn't prepared to upset the youngsters so early in their training so we came home early.  We're training with Di next week then off to the Hickstead Derby for the week with Cashmere and Cherry D. 

Worldwide is leaving us to do some training under the Eilberg's, I'm sure this will be a great opportunity for him and really excel his career.

We have some more clinics in the diary the free jumping clinic on 12th Sept and a ridden show jump clinic in July, please keep checking the site or the facebook page for more info on these.

Hello

This week we've welcomed our new dressage rider Anneke who is already settling in well.  All the horses are doing great.  Runaway is going very well and will be on the circuit in the next few weeks doing the age classes.

All the horses for sale are going well and will be off to solihull to do some dressage in a week or two. 

Cherry D has moved up to some bigger classes and has been getting nice double clears, suddenly the fillers are not as scary as they were a few weeks ago. 

I am slowly putting some video clips of the horses on u-tube, i'll put the link next to the horses in the relevant pages, then you can see the progress for yourself.

 

Hope you all have a nice bank holiday x

Hey everyone

As always its been busy here at parklands.  The show jump team had a very busy day with our trainer - Di Lampard last week and i definately ached the next day i'm sure the horses did too.  They are all doing really well and so far all have been placed on most outings.  The latest results been yesterday with a 2nd place for Cherry D.

Rag Time is off to compete on Sunday in some showing classes ridden by Lauren and then next weekend we'll be at Weston Lawns for the Bank Holiday, before heading off to Wales then Hickstead.

Mississppi Gal is going really well under Lauren and will be advertised for sale in the next week or two.  Lavandele and Wanadoo are also doing very well under there new rider at the Woodcroft stud.

We look forward to welcoming the new dressage rider Anneke who starts on Monday and will take over all things to do with Dressage!  We hope Anneke and Runaway our 5 yr old stallion will be out on the circuit very soon.

Worldwide is as superb as always and his foals are looking fantastic.

Arazmataz is proving popular in Germany and his rider Horst is really enjoying having the ride - as long as he gives him back all will be fine.

We are just breaking in the first foal of Arazmataz - Anastasia.  She already proved herself as a foal winning the foal championship and gaining the title Best British Bred Filly and is showing she'll be just as good under saddle.  She certainly has her dad's temperament so far she's not put a foot wrong and appears to be enjoying the attention.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend

Hello

Its been a busy week at the stud with the bank holiday shows. Cherry came 4th in the British Novice at Weston Lawns and really is ready for the bigger classes.  Kiss PJ had her first experience in the main ring and although she found some of the jumps quite scary she tried her best and we were all very pleased with her.  Cashmere took the whole experience in his stride and is really becoming part of the team.

We put Mississippi Gal under saddle today with no problems at all, in fact she's loving all the attention again.  I hope i can find her the perfect home. 

I'm slowly getting the website updated and will also sort out the facebook page.

I hope everyone is well and enjoyed the bank holiday

Hi

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the sun while it lasts.

Firstly i would like to apologise for the lack of information on the website.  We are currently refreshing the whole site getting more up to date pictures and information of the horses and the facilities.

We now have finished a lot of the building work on the stud with 16 internal monarch stables with automatic water and 8 new external stables, a small barn for stabling the youngstock, solarium and wash down area.  The lab and covering room is also up and running for the stud season.  All this information will be on the website in the next week.

Due to demand Arazmataz will be competing in Germany this year under Hurst Rimkus in advanced (s) classes.  We drove him over a few weeks ago and he is settling in well. I will keep you updated on his progress.

The babies are doing well at the shows.  Kiss PJ has done her first few local shows and is getting some nice double clears.  Cherry D has qualified for second rounds of the amateur champs and will soon be ready for the bigger classes. 

We also have a new arrival Cashmere.  He is a green 6 year old but has a superb jump and certainly pleased myself and Di at our first training session together on Wednesday.  He will be aimed at Newcomer/Fox and 6 yr old classes this year.

I will keep you updated with all the horses as the outdoor season progresses.

Enjoy the sunshine
