Anna Dalton and Conspiring braved the uncertain conditions at SIEC today to compete in the Elementary classes. And despite the record rainfall in the past few weeks, the arenas proved rideable. But the pair had little chance to prepare in the less than rideable condition of the dressage arena at...

With the entire property now officially under water, it seems a very good time to update the website. There are new YouTube video links on the Noticeboard, as well as several great new shots of Visage in his file in the Gallery. Coming up will be a thorough update of all the other categories, for...

This stunning filly is out of a top showjumping family on the dam side. At just three days old, Audace Kalone is already a strapping big filly, and the markings are amazing as well....

Visage has placed 5th once again, this time at Barbaste against very stiff competition in the Grand Prix. And Stephan is now planning to fly him to Istanbul in early June where Visage will compete in his first Nations Cup class. Very exciting.Photo: La Baule. There are a few more shots in the...

We've just heard that we achieved great results at Hawkesbury Riding Club's dressage competition on the weekend, with stable rider Anna Dalton riding Conspiring (Toddingham-Cooperit) to a win as well as a 2nd place in the Elementary classes, with scores comfortably in the 60s. Anna also rode...

Both Julia and Chris had a successful weekend eventing at Camden, with Julia placing 2nd in both Preliminary classes on her rides, Elayne Verner's Glenormiston Paddy Caton and Copabella's young Vigil. It was their first outing at Prelim for both horses and both finished on their dressage scores...

Placing 5th in the prestigious Longines Grand Prix in La Baule yesterday apparently sent Stephan Lafouge home with 12,000 Euros as well as a pretty flash watch. So come on Australia, let's get our acts together! Either we send all our most promising riders and their horses to Europe to...

It was a big day for Redleaf at Sydney Showjumping Club, with Chris and Haruzac winning the 1.20m class, closely followed by Julia and Tattiana. Chris also won the D Grade with Contendah, and Julia picked up 3rd, 4th and 5th placings on Suzannah Willis's Blue Jay, Tattiana and young Vegas. It was...
