Another BSJA success

Ruby Shy took 2nd in the British Novice class at SNEC yesterday, with a lovely double clear. She was top of the leaderboard for a long time, but was just pipped near the end. She seems to be back in the groove.

Ruby Shy wins.

Last night at the Scottish National Equestrian Centre, Ruby Shy returned from a few weeks off by winning the 95cm class with a double clear. We took her along just to get her going again so didn't expect she would win, never mind in such style.

Laguna Flame returns to Rowallan

We had a late night again last night with a trip to jump BSJA at Rowallan. Laguna Flame was on form again, taking 3rd in the 90cm National Amateur Qualifier and 2nd in the 1m National Amateur Qualifier.

Back From Holiday

Leanne celebrated her return from holiday with a win in the 85cm class and a 4th in the 95cm class at SNEC with Laguna Flame last night. We were very pleased as he'd done absolutely nothing for two weeks.

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).
