A TRAGIC LOSS:

LEYLAH collapses and dies January 2007. our dearly loved Holsteiner, 16:1hh bay mare by LIATOS (by LANDGRAF). This mare was bred for Dressage but also had an oustanding jump. She was in foal to Corravale due in the May. We were devastated and will greatly miss this mare. She was one of the family and was very much loved. Pictured to the right with her first foal Greenvale Dynamic, who is now coming on fantastically with her owner.

COME DANCE "PRECIOUS"

Imported as a 2 year old from Holland this fantastic filly was spotted for her talent and exceptional pedigree (by COME ON). She was run on for some months before being sold to her present owner Miss Cousins, who has owned her for nearly 2 years now and produced her to a wonderful standard. She recently sent us the following email as an update on her progress:

Another Success story for GREENVALE STUD

"Thought I would say hello and let you know what happened to Precious. Well I kept her as I could not part with her. I decided to pursue my dream to establish my own breeding and producing business and I now have three mares. They are all in foal including Precious and I recently graded them all with the BWBS. Precious also did the performance test and was awarded First Star award. She surprised everyone by being awarded an exceptionally rare 9 and 10 for her jumping, going over 1.50m with stacks of space. Unfortunatley she tweeked her shoulder on the last jump and went un sound for the rest of the day, (This was detrimental for her grading and ridden part of test obviously but she  graded) Apparently she is being highly spoken of in the German circles so I am thrilled". And so are we, keep it up!!!!

GA-WA-NI (MICKEY)

Bought by Marnie as a foal to bring on and sell. I received the following email from his new owner what another happy story!

 

"I brought a horse off you four years ago, well i brought him off Simon and David. my friend emailed you a few weeks ago and thats who gave me the idea, i wanted to TRY and email you some photos and let you know how he is getting on!! i also wanted to thank you for selling such a fabulous horse!! he is my best friend and my baby!! he is enjoying himself at the moment because he hasnt been doing much, he has had a bad shoulder and back and we are now starting to get fit!! since i have had him he has given me so much confidence, in some of my lessons last summer we were jumping between 1.10m and 1.20m. everybody love him to pieces and i really couldnt live without him!!thank you again for selling me the best horse in the world!!!" He has also won trophies in Working Hunter classes, Novice pairs Cross Country and 2nd in the individual at Somerton, amongst many others. Thank you for the news and we look forward to hearing of more successes.
