Vrielink Vans Gravenstafel – Stallion at Stud

VRIELINK VANS GRAVENSTAFEL 

Stan not only is a very powerful and scopey jumper, but he is a complete gentleman as well.

Stan came from the Stephex Stables initially, but due to an injury his competitive career was limited. He jumped successfully with Louise to 1m35 level and always showed a great mentality for the sport always wanting to jump clean, an important quality which is noticed prominently recognised in his offspring thus far. 

Stan is a very correct stamp, with a beautiful liver chestnut colouring, and is a complete gentleman to handle. He was also competed by 13-year-old India in the Children On Horses classes, showing again his ride ability and great nature. 

 

 

 

 

 

The Girls’ Gallery

This gallery is comprised of images taken by the girls on their travels across Europe. It gives a more personal, behind the scenes insight into show life and the love they have for their horses. 

Competitions

This gallery holds a collection of our favourite action shots from shows all over Europe. Enjoy!

Photoshoot with Megan Duffield

The girls were delighted to have been approached by the talented local photographer Megan Duffield for a photoshoot with the horses. I have chosen a selection of the photos to share in the gallery below and as you can see the outcomes were stunning. Meg is an extremely talented photographer capturing beautiful natural images of the girls and their horses (& Nancy!) and also made the shoot itself fun and interesting.

We would all highly recommend using her services!

Here’s what Meg had to say about her experience at Wodehouse Stud with #TeamBUSSEY.

   It was so lovely to once again, meet a family that are true professionals but genuine people with such determination and love for what they do. I was super excited to photograph the Bussey girls and their top class showjumpers as not only are they pretty famous but their horses are stunning!

Step Up To Gold Programme

Following a solid performance at the viewing day, India is one of the eight riders selected to be a part of the 2017/18 Step Up To Gold Programme funded by Sport England working with British Showjumping.

The programme has been established to aid riders in the transition to competing consistently at 1m40 level and therefore entering the Gold League. It includes 3 National Training days with coach Matt Lanni, more training with home coach Mia Palles Clarke (who also does regular clinics at Wodehouse Stud on which more details can be accessed via Facebook) and a squad trip to Bonheiden to compete in the CSI** in March.

India is delighted to have been selected for the programme and is looking forward to making the most of the additional support consequently provided during this time.

Ranchwood Latte jumps to victory at Scope Festival

It was the perfect end to a long week at Scope Festival when Atiya Bussey (12 years old) and Ranchwood Latte WON the Mandy Hall Pony 1m15 Championship with a fantastic double clear and a classy jump off round.

 

Scope Festival 2017

All of the horses and ponies jumped superbly at Scope Festival.

ATIYA did particularly well with WESTWINDS EGO taking 2ND PLACE in the UNDER 16S CHAMPIONSHIP – with Atiya being one of – if not the – youngest in the class at just 12 years of age.

She also WON the Mandy Hall 148 1M15 CHAMPIONSHIP with RANCHWOOD LATTE. (See full report on next post).

India also made good progress with her younger horses with the very green Florida VDL improving all week and finishing with a very good round in the 7 Year Old 1m35 Grand Prix. 8yo 148 pony Keelnacally Quilletto Roebuck also jumped well qualifying for her Foxhunter Final.

 

National Championships 2017

BSNC at Stoneleigh 2017


 

Atiya was the star of the show at the British Showjumping National Championships this year. At just 12 years old, it was her first time competing at Stoneleigh, however she was unfazed and jumped some superb rounds.

Atiya achieved 3rd place in the Under 14 National Championship and 4th place in the Under 16s National Championship both aboard Westwinds Ego. This was a fantastic outcome for a relatively new partnership around some challenging courses.

Unfortunately, luck wasn’t on her side in the Pony Newcomers Masters picking up an unlucky 4fts on course with Ranchwood Latte, however India and the 8yo Keelnacally Quilletto Robuck did secure a clear round to pick up a minor placing.

India also picked up 6th place in the Senior 1m30 competition with 6yo Billy Colman. This combination went on to come 10th in the National 6 Year Old Championship along with just having an unlucky pole in the Senior Newcomers Masters.

“My horse Chippi received 5* care from the day she arrived at Wodehouse Stud. Chippi was there initially for India to compete on my behalf, which she did very successfully, & then, when I decided to sell her, she was professionally advertised on their website and social media; clients were welcome to see her at anytime. As a result of this, Chippi was sold and is now competing up to 1m40 level with her new rider which is lovely for me to see. Wodehouse Stud offers fantastic facilities and I would thoroughly recommend the use of their services for any horse at any level whether it be for training, schooling or competing.” – Leanne Holmes
