The  autumn eventing season has kick started here in NZ and next week about to kick off in UK !!!

As always at beginning of a new season  it is exciting as   there are lovely new horses appearing on the scene  and of course some of the younger  ones are now well ready to step up to the next level .
NZ Show Jumpers have been on the road to the shows all summer  without much of a break.   The  show jump season abruptly ends beg of April here in NZ , so the show jumpers have  to make the most of it while they can.

Congratulations to Nick Brooks and his family for the purchase  from QNZH of Tiger ( show name "Taiaka").   Nick and Tiger had  so much fun  last season with some super results ,  and Nick really wanted to keep riding him. GOOD LUCK for this season you two !!!

William Fox-Pitt is  thrilled  with his   new eventer  from NZ , "Parklane Hawk". 
He took him to  team training and was "IMPRESSIVE"  and had first xc school , and  Williams comment was "FABULOUS " !!!

Our  team has been to some SJ shows with pleasing results  and just had a great  3 days of training last week with Canadian SJ trainer Jen Hamilton .  Topper is our next home bred horse  to begin his career .
He really loves his jumping and is getting some admirers already . See pic attached at his first little SJ class, jumping for  for joy !!

"Hula Haru"  ( aka " Harry" ) has been purchased by our good client of many years, Pedro Gutierrez of Mexico and flew out to USA yesterday.  Harry is very well bred for eventing being a TB colt by Hula Town  ( sire of many  NZ eventers ) out of a TB mare related to Glengarrick -  the amazing eventer that Heelan Tompkins  was in top line up with  at Athens Olympics on at ripe old age of 18 yo.  His  breeder was Jenny McIntyre of Nelson.
Harry is only a 3 yo but has as super  temperment and he arrived safe and well .
