Wishing all our customers and friends all the best for 2013 - may it be filled with fun, laughter and rosettes!

New for 2013 we have added a new page to the site 'Coming soon....' we will use this page to introduce the new horses we are producing and you watch their progress in photos and videos there.

Hope you enjoy!

We are now pleased to announce some new clinic dates with John Bowen early December -  in conjunction with Flawborough Equine.  Please have a look at our Clinics page for all the details and how to book.

Autumn is definitely here, darker evenings and chilly mornings - not all doom and gloom though, had a lovely evening out autumn hunting with Spring!  Will try and get a better photo next time, but you can see how well she stood as I am balancing the camera from on board!

We were thrilled to see Albecyn Charlie Boy featured in last weeks Horse and Hound for winning at the BSPS Summer Championships - he looks amazing!  For those of you that remember Charlie he was the sweetest horse and always a pleasure to have around.  There is more on his background under the Success Stories page.  Many thanks to Horse and Hound for allowing us to feature the article.

We are pleased to announce a clinic date with JP Sheffield in conjunction with Flawborough Equine.  Please see our Clinics page for more details and how to book.  JP is an inspirational trainer and is happy to teach all levels.  We hope to be able to run a series of training days with him over the winter season too

Well after getting well and truly caught up in Olympic fever over the last couple of months I'm finding myself not sure what I ever watched on TV before!  I was lucky enough to get down to Greenwich for some of the equestrian action and it was totally amazing - well done team GB on such huge successes! 

Spring is doing really well and little Blue is very quickly turning into a superstar.  He has been XC schooling with his big sister and made it clear that he didn't need any assistance or nannying from her!  There are new pictures of him on the Horses for Sale page and the picture above shows how cute they are together.  Now the weather seems to have settled down a bit we will be out and about at some competitions so keep visiting to find out how we are getting on!

After a quick visit to Ireland last week we have a new resident at Claypole Equestrian! He is a 4yr old registered Connemara gelding, grey dun - really cute! Follow his progress here, we think he's really exciting :)

It certainly feels like summer and we are all enjoying it!  It is certainly great to be able to crack on with all the jobs that the rain put on hold.  Tommy has been out to his first BS show and thrilled us all by coming 2nd in a big class at British Novice - what a star!  He took it all in his stride and found it easy.  He will make fairly swift progress up the grades I feel.  Not to be outdone by her older brother, Spring has been coming on leaps and bounds and her flatwork has really developed in both balance and power - as you can see from the photo she has really muscled up.  Her jumping is coming easy to her and she is very bold - nothing phases her and she doesn't know the meaning of the word 'spooky'!  She is going to be a fantastic horse for a competitive amateur as she has a fabulous temperament and is uncomplicated to do - but really talented with it.  She has been XC schooling and was totally un-phased - hoping to take her again this weekend. 
Enjoy the good weather!
