GREENVALE COROMAX by CORRAVALE out of CATRINA - News in from his new owner Gemma

"He had his first show a couple of weeks ago and he was fantastic. He stood in the trailer and had a good look around to see what was going on and then decided that it all looked like great fun and he was the most sensible yearling there. His first class was condition and turnout which was open to all ages and he came 6th in a class of 10 then he did the hunter and hack class (no sports horse classes) it was for 1-3 yr olds and he came 3rd out of 8 and was the highest placed yearling.
We have another show this weekend so hopefully he will behave just as well. Im due 8 weeks today and I am so glad that I managed to show him at his 1st outing and im really hoping that i will manage this next one aswell.

VOLKERT (Dick Z x Lord Z)

Is now competing at 1.35mtr in Spain and with great success - I have just had an email in from his owner, "I am Sofia Zambrano, from Spain and my husband, Curro Goyoaga bought me Volkert in Holand one year ago. I am the happiest woman in the world. He is a really good horse and has an incredible heart, always does clear round. The last video I put on youtube was his first 1,35mtr and did also clear round. I am an amateur and Volkert is one of the best horses I have ever had." Click on LINK 1& LINK 2 for you tube footage of this superb 9 year old gelding Jumping. He is off to compete in 2 weeks in the CSI**Toledo. We wish them good luck and hope they do as well as they deserve to, and a huge thanks to Sofia for such wonderful pictures xx

"Success came quickly for Sonia's 16:1hh KWPN mare Pompidoe (Colino x Voltaire) who produced the 2006 BEF Futurity Elite top scoring Show Jumping foal, Lucky for some (AES) with her first progeny. I spent a long time searching the internet to find a suitable match for her, said Sonia, who jumped the mare to Foxhunter level. Budget is a priority and I wanted to spend my money wisely to produce the best foal possible. Sonia's search led her to the AES licensed Holsteiner stallion CORRAVALE who stands at the GREENVALE STUD in Wales and carries the influential bloodlines of Coriano, Cor de la Bryere and Capitol. Sonia's mare produced the chestnut filly Lucky for some who went on to add the BEF Futurity National Show Jumping yearling title to her tally, scoring 9 for her athleticism. I am over the moon with Lucky for some who is now 3 years old, said Sonia". - A HUGE THANKS TO SONIA FOR HER COMMENTS - We look forward to seeing Lucky for Some out under saddle

GREENVALE HINDSIGHT NEWS

Further news on the adorable gelding, an email sent July 2009: " Hey Marnie, Its Cheryl with Big Al, just thought I’d update you with how he’s going. He’s amazing, he hasn’t half filled out now so he looks like a beast, a proper hunter.  He’s been out every weekend since march and won so much, I can’t believe it, I have even had a show judge interested in buying him but I told him to back off, he’s going no where!

Al is such a gent, he steps out of a busy class where he’s had to gallop round with a bunch of horses and when I come out I have a friend that comes and grooms for me who has a 6 year old who always wants me to get off so she can get on, she loves the attention it brings, her riding such a big horse and i’m often not holding him! My friends other 2 year old runs round, into and under him, shouting Alf’s my horse! He doesn’t bat an eye lid, just such a love. He’s qualified for loads of championships already and last weekend he qualified for Stoneleigh, in hunter and sport horse classes, I can’t wait, its at the end of july, and he’s got the uk  showing finals in july, hunter and style and performance so I can’t wait. Just yet again a massive thank you for selling him to me, he’s done so much for me and really looked after me this whole time, even though he’s still like a 2 year old in the head, when my nerves are getting to me he just takes the lead and carry’s me through, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better horse! Good luck with everything, I can not wait to see what his dam’s foal is going to be like this year! Again take care and good luckLove Cheryl and Al xxx This gelding is out of one of our foundation mares Bluegray Sonata and by Time Willing, his full sister was born 22nd June this year and we are very excited for her future!
