Welcome to our boutique breeding operation, concentrating primarily on full-blood Swedish Warmbloods, although we also have the occasional Thoroughbred cross (from our own Westminster Thoroughbred brood mare) for the eventing scene.

Darkie 2011/2012 Season
Manuka Mention My Name (aka Darkie) has started the new season with a 1st & 2nd place at Elementary Level at AMDG, Clevedon. This has been followed by a 4th place at his first warm-up HT event at Te Rapa (Training) and then a 7th place in PN at Woodhill last weekend.
Cecilia & Darkie would have won this event but a self-confessed rider error at the final skinny led to them just missing the jump and having to return to it for a second attempt. Twenty penalties cost us first place but they were well under time to that point so Darkie is very fit; they were 2nd= after dressage and went clear in the show-jumping. More impressively is that Darkie & Cecilia just don’t practice their dressage – his natural movement just lets them get in there and do their stuff !
Cecilia and Darkie are currently working on Passage and he so loves to show off that he tries to do this everywhere at the moment, including in the middle of a test !

Back Online -
It’s taken a while – far too long – but we’re finally organised enough to make sure we get this column active, organised and up-to-date. Two magnificent (full-blood Swedish) Moschinno x Madeira colts have gone to live in Warkworth and we have kept Mystle, a spectacular filly (also Moschinno x Madeira). Beema and Indy have just completed their initial “starting” training and are now having a break until Early December. Darkie and Mojo are back home with us and will be ridden by Cecelia and Rose. Both completed 3-4 HT Training Level Events at the end of this just complete Eventing season – they both loved the X-country. Cecelia and Darkie have had their first show-jumping lesson with John Cottle and will be back there this coming Sunday. So much happening ! Back soon……………………..
