We are delighted to be able to tell you that we have just been given the most amazing news. Ryan Todd and Rembrandt II have been selected to go onto the World Class Equine Pathway training scheme. This means they will have access to fantastic training and help from the GBR team vets/farriers/physio's etc. This training scheme is for horses between the ages of 6 and 10 whom they think will be capable of not just Grand Prix but as team prospects for the Olympics/Europeans etc. Remi is only 6 and Ryan is 19 so we know there is a long way to go, but its great to know that the top judges in the country also think they are as good as we have always thought.......we will keep you informed of their progress......
We have recently returned from a succesful trip to the Elite Auction in Verden and to several private breeders in the rnorth of Germany. We have purchased 5 foals in total details of which will be posted soon. We are planning another trip at the end of May.
We have:
Black Don Index/Fabriano
Black - Benetton Dream/Woronow
Bay - Quaterhall/Dancier
Chestnut - Furst Nymphenburg/Don Crusador
Bay - Foundation/Hohenstein
