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
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
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.
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!
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
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)
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
Family

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
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
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.
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

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
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
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
