Wodehouse Stud and Equestrian Centre
Breeding and producing quality young horses for the modern day sport
have an insight to life at Wodehouse Stud from a younger perspective.
Nym has been a delight to have at Wodehouse Stud and for India and Atiya to produce over the past few years, and we are all very pleased to have found her a wonderful new home in Ireland. We very much look forwards to seeing her partnership grow with her new jockey… Good luck Nym!
We took five horses to Wales to compete at Chepstow International with Atiya.
Keelnacally Quilletto Robuck dominated the pony classes with a 3rd, two 2nds and a win – including 2nd in the 148 Grand Prix… It was a lovely note to finish our time together with!
Florida VDL also impressed jumping the CSI** Big Tour (1m40) classes with small mistakes keeping the pair out of the results.
6yos Dandy Ste Hermelle, owned by Ross Walker, and Calisto de Laubry Z, owned by Sue Crawford, stepped up to jump the age classes and flew around the 1m30 Grand Prix, their biggest track to date, with ease!
It was also Chesterfield Z’s first show back after a small holiday and he impressed as always with a clear in every class jumped!
We are delighted to announce our latest partnership with the feed company Allen & Page. All of our performance horses are fed on their feeds and we would recommend their products to everyone! We are grateful to the team at Allen & Page for their support and trust in us as representatives for their brand, and look forward to the future in collaboration.

We were delighted to find out that Atiya & Chesterfield Z were set to represent Great Britain on the Children On Horses Nations Cup team for the 4th time this year, this time at Sentower Park in Belgium for the big Nations Cup Finals for Youth.
The pair jumped a super clear on day one, helping Team GB to qualify for the prestigious final on Sunday. Friday was the individual competition where they once again jumped double clear & finished in 7th place – a fantastic result. They finished the week with another class round around a technical 1m30 track, unfortunately just touching the last fence for 4 faults. Never-the-less they provided the best score across the board for Team GB helping the team to achieve 5th place in the Finals.
That marks the end of Atiya & Chester’s Children On Horses campaign, but what a year it has been!
The girls had a fantastic show at Hickstead with all horses jumping in the famous main ring.
Atiya (only 13) & Chesterfield Z jumped fantastic placing everyday and then jumping a very fast double clear in the 1m20 Championship in the main arena for a close 2nd place!
India & Florida VDL jumped in the 1m40s in the main ring, and Billy Coleman qualified for the 7 Year Old Championship where he was unlucky to just have one fence down round a strong 1m35 A10 track, he was also clear in the Talent Seekers 7 Year Old HOYS qualifier.
The girls had a fantastic show in Lier, Azelhof, Belgium for their CSI**/*/YH* show in August.
India and Billy Coleman performed very well in the 7 Year Old classes including a 2nd place finish only beaten by 5* rider Bertram Allen. India also had a fantastic show on 8 year old Florida VDL who was clear 2 out of the 3 days in the 1m40 classes and stepped up very well in their 2nd World Rankings class for one mistake. Atiya also had a good yet slightly unlucky show with Chesterfield Z in the CSI* 1m20 classes.
Atiya & Chesterfield Z representing Team GB at the European Championships for Children, Juniors and Young Riders held at Le Grand Parquet, Fontainebleau, France. Part of the Children On Horses team jumping double clear in the Nations Cup and placing 6th in the Farewell competition also!
It is fair to say the girls had a fantastic show in Wierden for their Youth Nations Cup Show 2018. Atiya was 7th in the Children On Horses class on the first day with Chesterfield Z. She was then once again representing Great Britain on the Children On Horses team where she jumped double clear for Team GB in the Nations Cup and jumped double clear to come 4th in the Grand Prix!! She and Chester didn’t touch a fence all week; a clean sheet!
India also had a successful show with her talented 7 year old Billy Colman who jumped fantastically every day in the Juniors 1m35 classes picking up 7th place along the way!
We were delighted when Atiya was selected to represent Great Britain for the first time after a fabulous performance at the European Viewing Trials at Chepstow CSI**.
Atiya jumped two fantastic rounds in the Children On Horses Nations Cup aboard Chesterfield Z to help Team GB secure 2nd place convincingly. Atiya also won the opening Children On Horses class in fine style riding Westwinds Ego.
India also competed in Lamprechtshausen having had the call up to ride individually on her relatively inexperienced 7 year old Goldenboy. The week was a fantastic experience for both of India’s 7 year old horses (Goldenboy & Billy Colman) of whom she has produced herself here at Wodehouse Stud, and she picked up some very good placings in the Juniors (U18) classes.
