We are delighted to announce that India & Atiya have returned home to our family stable and will be taking over the reins of operating our business full time.
Alongside developing our own horses, the girls have spaces to take in new horses to produce, compete & sell, if desired.
We also have new training packages available suitable for horse and rider combinations of all levels & can furthermore provide assistance in helping you find the perfect match when looking for your next horse.
For more information on any of the above, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! We are always open to new ideas and possibilities!
We could not be more proud of our lovely 6-year-old gelding ‘Nic Nac’ making his show debut the past few weeks in the beautiful Spanish setting of the Sunshine Tour in Vejer with Atiya.
With this being his first ever show, he took everything in his stride and made some excellent results and beautiful rounds of jumping. This just goes to confirm his excellent character and also love for the job!
Check out his rounds below and some snapshots from this special few weeks:
Emotional week as we waved goodbye to a firm favourite in the Wodehouse family. Wishing the best of luck to Elvis in his new home!
A very sad goodbye after 4 years under the saddle of @atiya.bussey He will be greatly missed, but we are excited to watch him go on to do great things with his new rider! Watch this space…
We are delighted to be partnering with Seaver, a Paris-based startup, founded in 2016, which was born out of a desire to bring the technological advances that many other sports benefit greatly from into the equestrian world.
Going forwards, India and Atiya will be competing in their new SAFEFIT Airbag vests; the lightest airbags on the market of which their slim fit and technical fabric allows full freedom of movement. The girls love them and feel super confident with the additional safety aspects and say they cannot even feel that they have it on!
India & Billy Colman jumped a super two rounds to take 2nd place in a very fast 2* Medium Tour Grand Prix on Sunday!
India & Elstar STM Z jumped a great double clear to take 3rd place in the CSIYH 5 Year Old Grand Prix on Monday!
Atiya & Goldenboy jumped a super clear in the 2* Medium Tour on Saturday for a lower placing!
Atiya & The Spicer Family’s Vinella jumped lots of clear rounds throughout the week, picking up 7th place along the way in the 1* classes.
India & Florida VDL were clear jumping in the 2* Big Tour on the first two days and finished their week with an unfortunate one down in the 2* Longines Ranking Grand Prix.
Atiya & Ross Walker’s H. Rubertha R 6 also jumped great clear rounds in the 1* getting to know each other, also picking up a lower placing.
We are very proud of all of our horses this week & thank our sponsors for their continued support! It is so nice to be back doing what we love after lockdown!
Due to a long Coronavirus and then EHV break, it is only now that we were able to do our first show of the year, but the horses picked up where they left off with some super results over the two days at the new Keysoe International.
Billy Colman made his start to the season a winning one, taking top spot in a competitive 1m30 class – watch his video below:
Atiya completed her first show with H Rubertha R 6, owned by The Walker Family, with two top 3 placings in the 1m20 classes and an unlucky pole in the 1m30 class on day 2.
Atiya also jumped double clear in the 1m20 class with our exuberant Goldenboy for a lower placing and India & Florida VDL jumped a couple of super rounds in the 1m40 classes for an unfortunate pole in each.
We are very much looking forward to the season ahead with an exciting bunch of horses!
Wishing the lovely Calisto de Laubry Z the best of luck in his new home. Cali has been a pleasure to produce here at Wodehouse Stud over the past couple of years on behalf of his owner, our very own Sue Crawford. He has brought us a lot of happiness watching him develop in the sport & we are certain he will continue to please in his new address. Good luck Cali & Charlie; we are excited to watch you competing together in the near future!
The horses put in some great rounds of jumping with some good placings throughout the week.
Florida VDL
We finished yesterday with the ever consistent ???????????? ? jumping a super double clear in the 1m20 Championship with Atiya in the Main Ring to finish in 7th place!
Chesterfield Z
Well done also to pupil Sharnah with her own ????????? ????? putting in some great performances across the week!
Wodehouse Eceni & Sharnah
And huge thanks goes to Donna & Sue for all of their help this week behind the scenes & Ellesse for holding the fort at home. Team work makes the dream work!
It was great to be back out competing at our first show post lockdown, and what better place to do it than in the beautiful setting of the Bolesworth Estate at the British Showjumping National Championships.
Chesterfield Z was our star of the show placing in the top 10 of both his Championships with Atiya. Firstly, the Under 16 National Championship on Thursday in which the pair finished 7th jumping a beautiful first round clear with an unfortunate time penalty keeping them out of the jump off. He then produced another fantastic clear on the final day of competition in the 1m30 National Championship where they placed 9th.
We were also delighted with our lovely 4-year-old stallion Elstar STM Z who behaved impeccably at his first stay away show taking the atmosphere all in his stride. He jumped two super clear rounds in the 4-year-old classes and in doing so picked up a 4th placing also!
Atiya also stepped up to jump her first 1m45 class with our own 10-year-old gelding Florida VDL in the Under 21s Championship and put in a good performance in the Grand Prix Qualifier/Junior Viewing Trial gaining valuable experience at this level to take forwards.
We are now very much looking forward to our next show which will be Hickstead at the beginning of September, and look forward to this week visiting India in her new base in Germany!
