Congratulations to Becca, Karen and Bartoli. The all went to the Iberian Northwest Showcase.

Karen reported:

Oli showed impeccable manners considering it was his first time in an indoor arena with music playing and talking on a tannoy.

He was placed second in the Iberian males all ages class and also received a BAPSH highest place rosette.

I spoke to the judge afterwards (from Spain) and he said he thought Oli was presented very well, he had beautiful paces and was an exceptional animal that he thought would go far! 

Bartoli has gone to live with a lovely family near Wigan who will spoil him rotten. Mum was interested in dressage and daughter wanted to jump. They had always wanted a PRE.

We did some practice loads in our lorry and he walked in to the transporters lorry a dream.

Bandera had a colt foal on the 5th May. We have named him Bartilo. He has a dorsal stripe so he might be dun but will probably go grey. He will be registered as a PRE.
