Mandy & Proud Prince
Dear Nadine and Lynne,
At last as promised the professional photos taken at “Harrys” (Proud Prince) first Adult camp May 2010. What fun I had at my first camp. The instructor said “This week has seen some big steps for both you and Harry. Your relationship while firmly established, has the opportunity to grow in so many directions right now. I have no doubt at all that you will achieve your goals; partly because you have the right horse (for you) but predominantly because you want to. Your jumping shows great promise and your dressage is well established”. As you probably remember I bought “Harry” as my final horse and he is now mine and my husband (who is struggling with his health) best friend.There is no where that “Harry” and I can’t go on our own, we ride on the beach, the South Downs , the roads on our own or in company. We have regular dressage and jumping lessons and look forward to the future with our beautiful boy. Thank you both for the best horse I have ever owned.
Love, Mandy
Alice & Chapel Street Lad
Hi Lynne and Nadine,
Chapel is being brilliant and has come on loads since we bought him. He is
confidently jumping 2ft 6 in competitions and 2ft 9 to 3ft in lessons. His
flatwork has progressed well and he is now much more forward into his
fences. He has been x-country schooling twice and done an ODE taking
everything in his stride. This week he did his first grid work
session with Pat Burgess and has another one booked in. I can honestly say
that he hasn’t put a foot wrong since arriving here – he didn’t even go
mad when turned out for the first time! He has settled in really well and
become a much loved addition – looking forward to taking him to Pony Club camp
in the holidays.

Abigail & Rathlee Boy
Sorry its taken me so long to send you an update on Rathlee Boy. He has behaved perfectly since we have had him and been a pleasure to own. Last year he successfully competed in unaffiliated dressage and jumped clear round a couple of British Novices, as well as taking part in both senior and main pony club camp. We also won a local working hunter and were 4th in the workers at Bucks County. Hopefully 2010 will be just as good! Thanks, Abi
Georgia & Mumbo Jumbo
Philippa & Two Tone Thomas
Hi I have been meaning to email you for ages with some photos of
Thomas (Two Tone Thomas) whom I have now owned for 6 years!! He is
wonderful and I love him to bits. We still compete at BN and Discovery
level, BE100 eventing and riding club Team events. He is as cheeky as
ever and his character gets more and more amusing (and naughty) with every
year that passes! My dream one day, would be to qualify for the Grassroots
Championships at Badminton. I have reached the Regional qualifying level
after coming 3rd in a BE100 but then our dressage lets us down a bit at the
qualifying levels. So we have been working on our flat work
intensively and hopefully if I can get Tom to be a little more attentive on the
day we may one day reach the Championships! Probably at BE90 level
though as we struggle with the XC time at BE100. I think it is good
to have goals and as I am hoping to continue competing him for another
9 years or so we have plenty of time to practice and have fun! Thank you
so much for selling him to me He is truly wonderful and such a friend!!
Brigitte & Blue Eyed Boy
Laura & Shanna Star
Hi Lynne and Nadine
Just wanted to give you a quick up date on Shanna now named Dougal. He
settled in really well , we came 4th in our first show jumping outing taking
everything in his stride, then 6th at Coomblands (piccie attached). We
havent been doing anything too serious lots of hunting which he loves , no
obstacle has posed a problem to him !
We are aiming to BE this year all going well and are off for our first serious
dressage lesson tomorrow but the main plan is to keep having fun. Regards, Laura
Laura & Western Glan
Dear Lynne and Nadine, Westy had a quiet
start when he arrived in June, he had time to settle in and hack out a lot, in
September he won his first combined training, completed 4 hunter trials (all
clear), the last one being around a BE Pre-novice course. We are now
spending the winter BSJA jumping British Novice and Discovery with the aim of
pre-novice eventing in the Spring. I will keep you updated on his progress
next year. Please pass on my thanks to Leanne as
well because Westy is so lovely to work with, he really
wants to learn, she started him off so well I have been able to build
on that.
Kind regards, Laura
Euan & Heath Of Cashel
I want to thank everyone at Prestwood for making our trip such an enjoyable experience, my dad thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the horses and our trip was definitely well worth while.
Kind Regards, Valerie and Euan

Sarah & Ballyard Wonder
Thought you would like to see some pics of Bally (Ballyard Wonder). Had him just over 2 months now and he has been fantastic. He settled in so well and takes everything in his stride. We have already done a training camp at Stockland Lovell and some XC schooling and he is loving his jumping ! Dressage coming along and we have done a walk and trot test (and apart from looking in the mirrors at how handsome he was) he was fab ! Everyone who meets him falls in love with him and I can't fault him - looking forward to a great summer together. Thanks so much and would definitely recommend you to anyone. Sarah & Bally
Sarah & Silver Shuffles
Gina & Windy Prince
I thought you might like to know how I'm getting on with Prince (Windy) . Well all I can say he is an absolute star - we are having great fun! I really can't fault him. I've attached a few pics from some of the things we've done! So far we've been out to two walk and trot dressage's (where we got our first rosettes) and we've done some XC training at Lodge Farm. We've also done quite a bit of hacking (had to put back shoes on as we have a lot of roadwork). Also been having lessons and his schooling is coming along nicely although he definitely prefers the jumping!!! We've done a bit of jumping at home but I'm planning to get him out and about to a few clear rounds in April and if that goes well I will try some classes. We're off to Denne Hill XC this weekend and then we are doing the East Kent Hunt sponsored ride the following weekend. I'm also doing my first Prelim dressage with him in May which should be fun. Then we are off to summer camp for a long weekend in June and possibly dressage camp in September - so lots planned! So just wanted to say thanks! Hope all is well, regards, Gina
Tessy & Peter Pan
Hi Lyn and Nadine!
I just thought I'd e-mail you and send you some pictures of how Peter Pan is
doing. Its been almost 11 months since we bought him from you now! He has been
absolutely fantastic, I couldn't have asked for a better horse, thank you so
much for all the help when looking for him :) He has proven to be a very quick
learner and has excelled in showjumping, jumping 1m10 courses at home with scope
to go further. We have registered him with the BSJA and hopefully will be going
out to our first BSJA competition soon! Im sorry its taken so long to send you
any updates, the time has flown by! Kind Regards, Tessy and Pip

Harry & April Dancer
Congratulations to the Grant Sisters! Please read the above article in Horse and Hound
Dancer (coloured chap) excelled himself at the U21s National Champs at Sheepgate and won his team test for Scotland. He did 4 fantastic tests and was placed in them all with all his scores over 65%. He is much loved and I think has gone up in Claire's estimation since last week. Both horses are taking part in a dressage to music demo for the local riding club on Friday night so that should be a new experience for them. I imagine Manus will be quite excited about it be its good for him to be exposed to this kind of thing. Will keep you posted. Regards, Lorraine
Katie & Gino Valley
Too late for Beijing but hoping for 2012!!!
Just a huge thank you for Gino...She is such a gorgeous horse. Thank you so much for all your kind help and I will send photos soon. Gino is very happy and relaxed and has made friends with the shetlands. Ambroise and Digby also love her. I have been for a hack today and all was perfect. Many Thanks and kind regards, Katie
Nickki & Leam Quiksilver
Dear Lynne, Nadine and Ahmed
Just to say a huge thank you for finding us this fantastic horse.
Leam Quiksilver is everything we ever hoped he would be.
I recently took him to pony club camp where he was an absolute star and came 3rd
in the end of week one day event. He has come
through for us in every way and is proving to be a wonderful jumper and a really
special little person. We can not thank you
enough for finding him for us, he is my best friend in the world, and I do not
know what I would do without him. Thank you.
Nikkii and Sue.
Hannah & Morgan
Hi Lynne and Nadine,
I thought it was about time I let you know how Morgan
(or Harvey as he is now known) is getting on.
He is settled down really nicely and couldn't be any better behaved. He has made
best friends with his field buddy and tries to follow me round whilst I clean
the paddock being very cheeky. He is a star to handle (although maybe a little
slow on the lead reign when coming in form the field!!! he he!) and to ride. I
have done pony club camp on him which helped us both get a better relationship.
He tried his best and is really starting to show his potential in all
disciplines. We flew round the end of camp one day event, with jumping, at 3'0"
with ease and came 5th. We have also been cross country schooling with him since
then and cleared the open size fences easily. We have also taken him to Wales on
a showjumping weekend were we did very well and his technique is improving every
time we go out. I can't wait to take him hunting at the start of the season and
will email again with some pictures. Thank you again for helping us find Harvey,
he is perfect!!!!
From Hannah and Jess!

Anti & Smokey
Here is the photo for you of Anty at a schools SJ event at Royal Leisure last weekend. Went clear on her first outing at 3'3" and went clear again in the jump-off. Smokey is just a wonderful horse. So honest, a complete gentleman and a quick learner. He's a good all-rounder and they're a good team. Regards, Katherine Colas

Carl & Tattoo
Here are some photos of 'Tattoo' as promised. We are thrilled with him and would never part with him he is a star! We are taking him to shows and couldn't be happier with him. We are jumping him almost a meter and he is doing it with ease. He is an honest jumper and nothing phases him. He is a kind horse that Carl and I have always wished for. Best wishes, Carl & Karen (Jersey)

Adriana & Apache Flame
I thought I would give you an update on Flame now that I have done a bit more with him! Firstly things haven’t changed I love my boy to bits and am so pleased with him! the whole family is; he never puts a foot wrong and always tries his heart out! I have had him 6 months now and it has flown by and our understanding of each other is getting stronger each day! Flame has been showjumping every other weekend which he loves and is coming along very well. At the end of November I took him XC for the first time and he excelled himself jumping everything with such confidence I was so proud of him! I have taken him hunting twice, both times he behaved very well although fairly strong but that’s just because he’s having fun! He jumps everything and enjoys his day. Then today I took him to his first showing show and to say I am happy is putting it mildly! Having never been in an indoor school or seen mirrors he was a saint! He took everything in his stride and performed fantastically! We won our Ponies UK coloured class qualifying for the PUK winter champs at Towerlands where we shall be going at the end of March, we also qualified for Royal London and The south west pony association championships. So to say he is a good boy is a bit of an understatement in my eyes because to me he is a little superstar! many thanks Lynn for finding such a cracking chap he is one in a million! love from Adriana

Dear Nadine,
I just wanted to let you know that Smerlin has
turned out to be a really wonderful pony. He does everything we ask
him to do without any fuss at all. When we go outside he immediately
comes to see us and stands by us the whole time we are in his field.
He loves being cuddled and importantly he is a fantastic ride. I feel
totally confident with him with my daughter and he has not put a foot
wrong since we have had him. He is having lessons once a week with my
daughter and he is really making progress. Everyone comments on how
beautiful he is.
After all the time we spent looking , the
disappointments and some of the terrible ponies we went to see, we
still can't believe we found Smerlin.
So thank you , he really is a special pony,
quite unlike any other we have ever come across. We will send you
some pictures when he starts winning prizes.
Best wishes, The Sampson

Kate & Sportie
Just wanted to let
you know how Sportie and I are doing now he's been here for 2 weeks.
He's great, the whole family love him, he's sweet with the girls and has relaxed
enough to start being a bit cheeky with me now! He's settled in really well
and we're having great fun hacking round the countryside, he's cool both on his
own and in company, up on the Downs, in the lanes and in the school.
So I'm delighted, just what I was looking for.
Thanks again, Kate
Sam, Jenni & Keep In Tune
Just thought I
would drop you a line to let you know how Tune is
getting on. We have both been doing lots of
shows with her and she is now regularly getting
placed. She has done some dressage (which isn't her favorite
but she still tries her hardest), some show jumping where me and her came
2nd and she has done lots of cross country with Jen,
last weekend she came 5th and 8th at Pachesham!! She
has given me so much confidence and me and Jen now go
hacking together and cantering around the countryside, I have been
having some jumping lessons and jumping about 3'3" which I would never
have dreamed of doing before! We love her to
bits and can't thank you enough for helping us to find
something as lovely as she is. I have enclosed some pictures
of her and us at a couple of shows.
Thanks again, Sam and Jenni York
Emily & Misty
I was just e-mailing to say how great Misty is and
how much I am enjoying having her. She
has settled in perfectly and we have taken her to loads of different places,
including showjumping, cross country and dressage
arenas, plus two rides on the new-forest! Misty was perfect in all those places
and she has jumped everything that I have wanted her to.
Misty has become great friends with Minnie, our 13.2 mare but she's not
so keen on Salty, our 11.3 gelding! She
is so quiet and a gem to handle in every way. We don't even have to tie her up -
she just stands! We
have given her a trace clip and some lovely new rugs with necks.
Thank you so much,
Emily.
Jo & Aura Justice
Kat & George
Hi Lynne, Nadine and Ahmed
Just a quick email to say thank you for finding me such a fantastic horse.
George has been everything that I was looking for in a horse. He completed his
first cross country event on Sunday where he did a faultless round. We've got
our first dressage competition next week which we're busy preparing for!
I'm still aiming for British Novice on him for next year, all being well.
Thank you so much again

Lucy & Athlone Frankie
Hi Lynn,
Just to let you know that Frankie has settled in
really well and been a very good boy so far!! I just wanted to thank you for
all your help and for putting up with endless phone calls from me, if you speak
to Charly could you also thank her for me. I will let you know how we get on in
the near future with Frankie.
Thanks again, Lucy Sculthorpe

Harriet & Beechgrove Bacardi
I bought Beechgrove Bacardi (Breeze) as a 6yo in March 2005. He has won or been placed in EVERYTHING I have entered. He has been successful in Riding Club dressage teams, won his first one day event and I have recently joined British Dressage. I was also lucky enough to have a lesson with Capt. Mark Philips who was very complimentary about him. We are now comfortably jumping 3ft tracks and all this makes up for him being a grumpy old git sometimes! Harriet
Sandra & Toby
I bought Toby from you at the end of June 2006. I thought you would like to see the photos of him at his first pleasure ride on 23/9/06. He is a lovely boy and we are getting on well together. Suzie, my daughter is giving me lessons each week so I am definitely improving since I nervously came to try him out. Thank you to Nadine and yourself for my lovely boy! Sandra
