My Dressage Horses
De Georgio (George) My pride and joy!!! 17.2hh 9 year old Gelding, By De Niro. Mum and I bought him from Germany as a 3 year old. We have competed at National level every year since he was 4 years old from Preliminary to Medium. Our best achievments to date were coming 2nd in the Novice Restricted at the 2006 Winter Dressage Championships and we were the 2008 Elementary Restricted Freestyle Champions!!! We have qualified for the Summer Regionals at both Medium and Advanced Medium. He is a wonderful horse, with a very big heart and character and always tries his best. He is my horsey sole mate!
Ambar, 15.2hh 5 year old Pure bred Lusitano Gelding, bought through Emergosol Lusitanos in Portugal in January 2009. I backed him as a 4 year old and he is coming along very well. He is a comical character and is very very cheeky! I am letting him mature and taking things slowly and plan to compete him shortly - these are very exciting times!
Violino. Pure Bred Lusitano Gelding. 15.2hh 8 years old, had not been ridden for 18 months before he arrived in the UK at the end of April 2009. I have slowly brought him back into work and is enjoying life as a riding horse! He has lovely paces and a very cheeky but loveable temperament. Everyone admires him due to his Magical Unicorn appearance!
Determinada (Little 'D'!) Part bred Lusitano Yearling Filly bought by my Mum from Emergosol Lusitanos. She was an unexpected foal from a Mare that was bought and then she delivered Little 'D' prematurely who was very weak and not expected to survice. After hearing about her story, Mum just had to have her!!! She arrived from Portugal in December 2009 and has gone to live with a friend and client of mine with her 3 year old filly and another yearling. She is getting stronger and more strong willed by the day.
Horses Sold
Wicky Paola (Ola) - Sold to Sasha Thuillier February 2010
Good luck to you both - I wish you lots of happy times and success together!
16.2hh Oldenburg Mare by De Niro, so she is George's half sister! A lovely, generous mare who aims to please. I bought her as a project in February 2008, but I couldn't bring myself to sell her, until I met Sasha who approached me about lessons and was looking to buy a horse. She also asked if I would be able to help her find a horse and when I asked her requirements, she described Ola!!! I continue to see them both weekly for their lessons and they are a fantastic partnership and have just started competing at Novice and gained 65% on their first outing, a brilliant result!
Darcis Van De Dommel Vallei (Harry) - Sold to Katie Garner May 2008
Good luck for the future!
15.2hh Belgian Warmblood Gelding. A lovely little chap with a huge personality! Katie is doing really well with him and they had a fantastic first competitive season together, qualifying for the Winter regionals at Prelim level - Well done to you both and keep up the good work!
