Denali's half sister Hilken's Sheylah (in Germany) received the highest score for her mares' performance test of all ponies in Hanover in 2009, against Warmblood hacks (she was unable to compete at the pony test as the dates were inconvenient). She received a 9 and a 10 for jumping style and ability! Final score was 8.3.

News!!!

Had a great day at Showfields today, with Denali and Nicolette proving to be consistent in their performance. A 3rd and 4th placing on the board which has left me feeling very proud. Happy also that the judges are receptive to ponies competing on an even footing with the hacks ... what a good boy and a great day!

Denali and Nicolette competed at their first registered dressage start at the beginning of the month. A wonderful day at Kihikihi domain organised by the Waikato Dressage Group. The weather was superb. Nicolette and Denali placed 6th in their first test and won their second test competing against the hacks to boot!

The stud is proud to announce the arrival of "Danny", a lovely chestunt colt with lots of chrome. Danny was born in the early hours of Saturday morning and we are delighted to say the least.

A big thank-you to EurosportNZ for supplying us with gear and clothing for the stallion parade. We had many comments on how smart we all were.

Lovely to meet and catch up with everyone. We had a lots of fun and intend to be back at the parade next year. Denali did us all proud with a lovely led display (outside) showing off his fantastic trot. We were disappointed most people were packed inside the indoor ring due to the weather and missed most of this. Geegees Photography took some lovely photos which we have purchased and will update the site with these shortly. The weather turned on us by the afternoon making the ground very soft and muddy. Nicolette did a lovely ridden display even with the ground so soft under foot making it hard going for young Denali.
