Samantha Brown (seasoned Northern BYRDS member and MD apprentice since last September) has just finished her season with Kwadraat in fine style. The pair were best of the Brits in the team test at the Europeans in Holland, and have just come home from the U25 championships at Sheepgate with Junior, Young Rider and Advanced Medium Championship titles to add to their list of successes. :) :) Kwad has been the best British horse every year he has been to the European Championships, twice with Becky, and then with Samantha Harrison – not a bad accolade wot!

Julie’s horses have been seriously strutting their stuff at the BEF Futurity Qualifiers. The stunning foal Ella won her section of the competition with a massive score of 9.2, and Electric won at Richmond, also with a fantastic score. Details of bloodlines all to follow when i get them!

Ella - OMG again!

Wally continued his fantastic run of form by winning all three classes at Fry’s CDI – his first international competition. He then went on to finish 6th in the Young PSG Horse National Championship – a very creditable result considering he is only seven years old and was competing against horses that were mainly 8 or 9….

Our wonderful owner Julie has started her world domination plan with the breeding of Delux. This stunning foal by upcoming stallion Hotline is an absolute corker. He won his class at the BEF show at Myerscough and looks destined for great things :)

Several of Julie’s other youngsters also did really well! (possibly due to the tight white slightly see through trousers that Roger was wearing when he was showing them off – unfortunately he had swapped them them by the time this picture was taken! lol)


The legend that is Wally surpassed himself again winning both the Advanced Medium and PSG Regional Champs. With a great score of over 70% he led the Ad Med from the start, and managed to find enough energy later that day to do a super PSG as well.

Becky made it a hat trick by taking the Elementary open on Sarah Tansey’s DHI Fiocco, again with well over 70%.

Hannah with Caluna and Becky with Fursten Hit were also well placed in the elementary and have both qualified for the nationals :)

Laura Jarvis had a fantastic show too, finishing 2nd and 3rd in the Novice Open on her own Cranswick.com and Julie Lockey’s Caluna.

Carly has also made it to the nationals on a wild card in the Ad med (if she hadn’t been a lemon and gone the wrong way she wouldn’t even have needed the wildcard! lol)


Carly riding Onino! Great pic :-)

Carly and Sarah travelled down to Hickstead with Neo and Kwad last week to compete in the Junior and Young Rider classes. They both had a really good show! Well Done!


Sarah riding Kwadraat! Also a great pic :-)

Ike would like to think he was the father of Tink’s puppies, but unfortunately he will have to make do with being the Uncle!
