June update






After much soul searching Kestrel has been sold. The opportunity to place him in an eventing home where he can hopefully fulfill his potential was too good to ignore when it presented itself, so after going on a month's trial, during which he competed at his first BE80 one day event, the deal was done. We will miss him, but have already had the great pleasure of going to watch him competing.


We do of course still have his full sister Confetti who will now step up to replace her brother as one of our showjumpers. She is making steady and encouraging progress in her training and really does share Kestrel's enthusiasm for jumping and his wonderful generous nature.


The first of the 3 year olds will soon be backed too, Starbuck ( also sired by Eclipse ) has bravely volunteered himself for this important position !
