Possible French Connection for Picasso.


An enquiry from France could see the start of Picasso siring international babies. The lady has a Padron's Psyche sabino mare with lots of white. Now that could be something very special indeed as we love Padron's Psyche and have our own granddaughter of his, the lovely Prima Ballerina (see photo). We are currently researching all the regulations and logistics of exporting chilled semen to France. Any experience or advice would be appreciated.

BSJA SNEC 14/08/11

Ruby Shy was back in action again today following an enforced rest because of a mild infection in her offside heel. She went clear in the 1m National Amateur Qualifier but had the double down in the jump off. She had the second fastest time so would have been right up there with the winner. Laguna Flame suffered equally bad luck in the 1m Open class. He had a great round but tipped one pole. Nevertheless, very pleased again with them.

Showtyme's Night at SNEC

We took Showtyme to a schooling night at SNEC last night. Yet again, he was a good boy, impeccably behaved and obviously enjoyed himself. He went clear in the 85cm class but dropped a pole in the jump-off, still finishing 6th. He also got 5th in the 95cm class, following a lovely round, despite the extra half stride at the second element in the double. (see video).

Showtyme's Showtime


We had visitors to the stud this week and Showtyme decided to live up to his name and put on a show. The visitors were tickled pink. Thanks Tim for taking the pic.

Look Out For Us at HOYS!


We are hoping our horses will be seen by as many people as possible at HOYS this year. Several of our horses will be there, but not in the flesh. Lindsay Robertson will be at HOYS this year promoting his Equine Series studio photography, featuring our horses. Lindsay has also been invited to stage displays in the VIP Suite and the Competitors' Lounge. If you are visiting HOYS and see Lindsay's stand, impress him by picking out some of our boys from their portraits. He will be amazed and would love to talk to you about his work with them.

Laguna Flame Goes to Rowallan


We took Laguna Flame to Rowallan last night. He qualified for the National Amateur Championships 2nd Round by going clear in both the 90cm and 1m classes, gaining 5th and 2nd respectively. The boy is on a roll! The 2nd round is at Rowallan in October. Ruby Shy has already qualified earlier in the year at Kingsbarn.
