We are delighted with the performance of our young stallion Elstar STM Z (Elvis Ter Putte x Cassini I) making his international debut at Chard CSI** over the weekend.
After a classy clear round on Day 1 to qualify for the Grand Prix, he jumped a super double clear in the Grand Prix to take 3rd place. Thanks to lockdown 3.0 this was only his second show of the year and so we are very excited to see what he can do going forwards!
Watch his jump off round below:
Billy Colman made his return to International competition after a long Corona break a very successful one, taking a superb 2nd place in the Medium Tour Grand Prix at Chard CSI**.
A fantastic double clear saw India & Colman slot into 2nd place behind good friend Georgia Tame who took the winning spot, and the podium was completed by Irish rider Shane Breen.
Watch their round below!
We were delighted with our lovely homebred mare ????????? ???????? (???????? ???? ???????????? ? ?????? ?) jumping a super double clear at her first ever show to win the 4-year-old class at Anvil Park Stud. We are very excited about this talented mare!
Congratulations to Evie & her pony Tilly who jumped triple clear to come 3rd & qualify for the 128cm Championship at Hickstead, The Royal International Horse Show in July!
Evie has been training with Louise here at Wodehouse Stud over the past 6 months & we are delighted to be a part of her success.
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!
It’s always great to be competing at The All England Jumping Course, Hickstead & we were delighted to be back this week!
The horses put in some great rounds of jumping with some good placings throughout the week.
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!
Well done also to pupil Sharnah with her own ????????? ????? putting in some great performances across the week!
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!
We were delighted to find this superstar horse his wonderful new home, and are really looking forward to seeing this new partnership blossom together!
We thank Chester for everything he has done for us, being Atiya’s mount for the 2018 European Championships, he truly has been a star in our stable and will be deeply missed. Thank you, Chezzy!
We are delighted to announce that Louise has recently been awarded with a Level 2 certificate in Equestrian Coaching (showjumping). She is available for coaching to share her wealth of knowledge and experience with you all!
