"Hey Tarma just to keep you up to date on my boy.
We have been very busy going to the beach, learning to jump and training for our first competition. Very pleased to be second on 66.60%. I have a new best friend and a competition horse all in one how good is that. Orval is admired everywhere we go and i could leave a child holding him and not worry.His jumping is going well and he loves it hoping to working hunter in new year, he is so unspooky and trusting. I am actually trying to sell a few youngsters to try and get back to spain to look for a 4 year old. will be in touch as soon as i get some sold.!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

"Dear Tarma,
I thought you would be pleased to know that Bronco was selected for the British Junior Team and competed for Great Britain at Addington CDI last weekend. As far as I know he is the first PRE horse to have represented Great Britain internationally. We are all very proud of him."
"Hi Tarma
How are you?
Thought I would let you know that Mo and I are the centre fold in this months Your Horse magazine, in an article about how to beat the competition!!! Mo looks great but they could have airbrushed out my double chin!!
We are now back in work (I have been having a series of operations) andMo is "full of it" to put it mildly and we have our regional finalsdressage comp this Sunday, fingers crossed it all goes well!!
Best Regards,
Nadia"
"...Well so far we've been to Caister & we did 2 prelims & got 2nd in each, then 2 weeks later at the ILPH where they have regular dressage things in their lovely indoor school Amy rode him in a prelim (i slipped a disc & couldn't ride) & the competition was very strong, she did so well & got 5th with 68% and saturday again at the ILPH I did a Novice & was 6th (24 in class) I was sooooo thrilled, he did a fab medium trot, we got all 7's & 8's, 69.5%. He got a 9 for impulsion! Judge was obviously blinded by his beauty & not our ability, he was VERY strong! But its the comments that the judges have written that are so nice. Things like 'what a super horse, loads of potential' & another wrote 'this stunning little horse will go all the way'.
One judge wound down her window & started asking all about him.
He is certainly turning heads, I've been to lots of places & done clinics etc & they are all just drooling over him.
I just love him soooooooooooo much.......thank you again for finding him. Please let his previous owner know he is doing so well & appears very happy & is pampered beyond belief!......"
"Hi Tarma
Time to update you again, Mo has been going really well (despite hating the wind and rain that I have to admit have been pretty bad here!)
We our first dressage comp in months a couple of weeks ago and came second (same percentage but lower collectives than the winner) I was thrilled to bits and he has qualified for another regional champs that are on in April here. We even made it into our regional magazine called chiltern and thames rider this month as well.
Happy Xmas and New Year to you all in Spain!

"..Remember when I bought Alfie you said that you thought the judges would like him? You were right.........they are drooling over him! We are getting 8's & 9's !!!!..."
"Hi Tarma
Thought you would be pleased to hear Mo is better and we have been out and qualified for regional champs at showing!!! If we do well there HOYS beckons! So well behaved was Mo I let Ian take him into some fun classes as well. I got a really fab fab trot out of him in my class which consisted of arabs, andalusians, lusitanos, anglo arabs, and lippizaners so i was very very pleased to get second, we were beaten by a really fantastic arab, but i think we could of won if my boots hadn't been pinching my calves so much in the trot up (couldn't keep up with Mo for long!)
We are off doing some dressage next month so fingers crossed aiming for a regional qualifier, so I will keep you posted"

"Just a short note to let you know Mo is settling down well, he has really taken to being outside all day with my mare and has discovered the joys of rolling in mud (oh dear!). I am really pleased with him and everyone who see's him is really taken with how lovely he is. My trainer even said "I'm so glad I am out of restricted you have got a seriously talented horse there!" Lets just hope I can keep up with him! He not only loves his schooling but also loves hacking out and is even showing a talent for jumping!! He is an absolute delight to handle and I can only say how glad I am I came out to Spain to find him."

"I found Spanish Horses UK in the Horses Deals magazine.
I had been looking for another GP horse for a few months and I reached desperation when every continental horse I looked at was lame, old or a you needed extra insurance and body armour to ride it!
I found SPUK very professional as they did everything in their power to make sure that the horse was sound and with no previous injuries before I went to see them.
Every horse I tried was a delight but two stood out for me.
One was an amazing bay stallion with everything I could dream of in a horse and a must have (currently under negotiation with my funding officer!)
The other was a mare with big ears! she has been with me for four months now and is the most vocal creature I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Prima is a dream to ride, train, compete and look after.
The only problem was she was just backed and NOT grand prix but this was certainly an eye opening experience.
She is now medium with changes and piaffe steps with one international show, one premier league and scores of 70 to 80% with 8's for her overall paces and some 9's.
It is a real dream to have such a lovely MARE! However, they did look at me though in a very strange way when I told them I was going to train and compete a mare (this is not the norm in Spain) but it has been well worth it.
Thank you very much"
