IMF Morning Surprise

Sire:  Strinesdale Mastermind, Dam: Vero (Polo pony)

Foaled May 2009. Chestnut Colt. Registered Sports Pony

£ 2000. 01264 736 672. joanna@ibthorpemanorfarm.com

William really was a morning surprise when we found him on his feet by the gate early one May morning!

A bold a confident colt,  he has the most calm temprament and having been handled since foaling, is easy to lead and catch.

His Sire Strinesdale Mastermind, is a 14.2h PBA riding pony by Twylands Troubadour out of Greddington Natalia.  Mastermind is now counted as one of the top 10 UK Pony stallions. The results were based on performance of offspring at various BSPS events throughout 2007.  Mastermind still stands with Jane Busch at Dow Hills Stud.

His Dam, 15h 1 Vero, was a medium goal Argentinian polo pony who is now a full-time brood mare.  Her temprament, speed and confirmation produced such a good first foal that she is now in foal to Biddesden Stud's 'Persiflage'.

Sire: Harroway Mr Harlequin, Dam: Pita (Polo Pony)

Foaled May 2009. Bay Colt. Registered Sports Pony

£ 2000. 01264 736 672 joanna@ibthorpemanorfarm.com

Mango was an initial disappointment coming out fully chestnut,  but has more than made up for this with his cracking little character and a turn of speed that leaves our 3 yo Badminton hopeful standing.

His Sire needs no introduction:  home bred by Jinks Bryer,  14h 1 Harlequin's achievements and the achievement of his progeny are listed in the Stud pages of this site.

His Dam, 15h Pita,  has now gone back to medium goal polo, having been put in foal due to a split hoof.  Her confirmation and attitude to life have produced a very spirited colt, and the legacy of polo comes out in his sure footed turns and incredible acceleration.

 

Ashlan Games Mistress

Sire: Master, Dam: Pelota Vasca (Relief Pitcher)

Foaled 5th May 2008. Bay Filly. To make 16.2hh +

£ 3750. 07808 962560.  catherine@itchenstoke.plus.com

 

A well-developed dark bay homebred yearling filly, Freya has a lot of quality about her, with great presence and movement.  She is a very promising sport horse for the future and an exciting prospect to present in-hand as a youngster in the show ring, at BEF Futurity evaluations and in Young Event or Dressage Horse classes.

By Kyra Kyrklund’s famous Grand Prix Dressage stallion Master, who is graded “Approved Elite” in the Anglo European Studbook, graded ”Elite” in Sweden and graded in Denmark and Finland; in January 2009 he was proclaimed Stallion of the Year by the Swedish Breeding Promotion Society ASVHE.  Master is ranked seventh on the 2008 World Breeding Ranking for dressage and has sired FEI high ranked Grand Prix dressage horses Max (under Kyra Kyrklund), Tip Top (under Leslie Morse), Vivo (under Maria von Essen) and Master Mind (under Nathalie Zu Saeyn-Wittgenstein).

Pelota Vasca is a 17hh upstanding middleweight GSB-registered TB mare with a lovely, kind temperament.  Injury retired her early from racing to broodmare duties, at which she has excelled, producing tall, quality and scopey athletic types with good limbs.

Freya combines the elegance and power of classic TB breeding with elastic and expressive movement from her sire.  She has good length of stride in her walk, extends naturally in her trot, and has a light, rhythmical canter.  She is friendly and confident, making her very easy to handle; she is a very sociable young horse, willing to please, is used to the farrier and has been regularly wormed. She also showed excellent manners when having her dental check-up.

This quality filly gives someone the fantastic opportunity of investing in a young horse who could go far in the field of eventing or equally dressage, with the added bonus of being a great future breeding prospect.  Only for sale where someone can realise her full potential.

She has an AES passport (full studbook/pink pages).

£POA  07808962560  catherine@itchenstoke.plus.com

A well developed, eye-catching, bay filly, Lulu has great presence and movement and the added bonus of a top quality eventing pedigree.  She is an excellent candidate for the BEF Futurity and Young Event Horse classes in the future, and sport horse youngstock show classes.

The much-sought-after Fleetwater Opposition, whose competitive record illustrates his almost unique ability to excel in any sphere, won the Junior European Three Day Event and the Individual and Team Gold Medals when he was only six years old.  He was 4th in the Spillers Dressage and Jumping finals at Wembley, and moved up the ranks of dressage quickly, where he excelled by winning and being placed in every competition up to Grand Prix.  His accolades include the British Breeding Lifetime Achievement Award and the Trakehner Breeders Fraternity Lifetime Achievement Award

Lady Guinevere is an SHB(GB) Head Studbook-graded advanced eventer by Catherston Dazzler and a full sister to Sir Lancelot VI.  She and her dam Latch Key are on the British Eventing list of Top 250 Mares of all time in the UK, and she traces her roots straight back through advanced eventers, Olympic medallists and European Championship gold medallists to Laura, the late great Major Derek Allhusen’s foundation mare

Lulu is friendly and confident, making her very easy to handle.  She is a very sociable young horse, willing to please, is used to the farrier and has been regularly wormed. She also showed excellent manners when having her first dental check-up.

The remarkable pedigree this filly boasts gives her all the attributes required to become an advanced eventer, with a top class career ahead of her, and the added bonus of being one of the most desirable breeding qualities for the future.  Only for sale where someone can realise her full potential.

It has been nearly a year since I updated the website for which I do sincerely apologise. So much has happened that it’s difficult to know where to start. 2008 was a year of great highs and extreme lows. It started auspiciously enough with the lovely trip to South Africa judging.

Wonderful wins with Jeffers and Buster early in the season.

I was invited last autumn by Steff and Tony Richards, friends of my husband’s, to judge Side-Saddle in Adelaide, Australia. Whilst I was there Tony and Steff spoiled me rotten and showed me round the lovely Adelaide Hills and I was also able to attend the Adelaide Three Day Event where I helped as a Steward.


In the spring of 2009, I went on a wonderful trip to the UAE to judge their lovely Arabs in Ridden Classes. The British Show scene could learn lessons in manners and sporting behaviour from their compatriots in the UAE. The horses are all mostly retrained Endurance or were racehorses and as such look a little different to the poor over-refined over-bred animals that are shown particularly in-hand.

HORSES

Moving onto the equine inhabitants of Harroway. I have touched on Buster who has spent the winter and spring doing Affiliated Dressage and is winning and being placed at Novice level. He has also, for fun, started jumping again and is loving the change. The photos are testament to his name of the family pony as Edward rides him regularly when he is home from school. Buster is going to start eventing again with Olivia as well as general Pony Club duties and other fun things as well as Affiliated Dressage.

OUR MAN: Now officially the “marmite” horse has had, consequently, a mixed season in his Affiliated Dressage but at least his worst placing has only been a 5th. He finished last event season with Olivia on a high, being place at all his events and being in the Open P.C. S-J and event teams. The teams finished 3rd SJ and she was fourth individually eventing, one of only 6 clears XC in her section. He has done Gatcombe and Somerley this Spring with good clears and is aimed at a 1 Star 3DE with Olivia this summer.

KINGS QUOTATION (James): finished on his dressage score at his first event with Ants and will do as many competitions as I can afford with the aim of going Novice this autumn. As he is our own we can afford to take time to bring him on slowly and quietly – expecting great things of him in the long run.

KENSONS ROSE DIAMOND (Rosie): I miss her dreadfully and has gone home to be put I foal as she has turned out to have sprained herself behind and she was too special to break-down. Hopefully she will be back with me next year.

HARROWAY MOUNTAIN LARK (Lark): Has been put on permanent loan to George (Georgia) Howard without whose support, both physical and mental, Harroway would struggle to function. She is enjoying dressage and hunter trials on him.

CARNAVAL MOON (Dolly): Sadly I failed to get her in foal as she has a dirty uterus so have had a full year off is now in full work and teaches all my side-saddle lessons (for people under 11 stone, 154lbs) she is also doing a lot of Pony Club with a pupil, Abbi Wilson, whose new horse has gone lame. Dolly is the most perfect schoolmistress as requires riding but is very kind. She has a busy summer ahead of her.

MATTIE THE MOO: Since the last update a new star has joined the Harroway team. Matti is a peerless pony and thanks to her Edward has discovered riding properly or rather “competitive riding”. I shall never be able to thank Sarah Garton-Jones enough for allowing us the privilege of having Matti on loan. She has taken Edward round his first bigger Hunter Trials and won him his prizes jumping and generally been the most perfect boy’s pony – I swear she counts the numbers when jumping. She finished this Easter holiday by winning the R.A. cup and second overall in the Pony Club Hunter Trials at Larkhill.

HONOUR BOUND (Bridie): As befits her breeding (by McGuigan out of my Advanced mare Quest) Bridie is beginning to fulfil her promise. She spent last summer being turned into the horse she is now by our much missed New Zealand friend Tracey Smart. Tracey took her to lots of little shows, Pat Burgess lessons etc and she also went cubbing. This Spring with the uncertainty over Harroway I have found, through my mother, a fabulous 14 yr old, Jodie Loveday, to compete her and who will, hopefully, have her until she is retired for breeding. Jodie and Bridie’s long term air is Juniors in two years time.

PESSAL FLATLEY: Brenda and Tanya Ewan’s 15hh hunter pony has been with for the winter has proved a star in the making as an event horse. He will start at B.E. in July when his jockey Clare Hurst has finished her A level exams. He has progressed from very green over a fence to a very confident cheeky chap who was 4th in a Dengie and 2nd in a mixed height novice WHP class. He is doing a lot of Pony Club and should give everyone a lot of fun.

As I write this update Harroway will be on the market as it needs such a huge injection of cash to restore and refurbish. However I shan’t be giving it away and unless we get a fair price I shall remain and continue to search for funding to bring it back to true life again. Meanwhile I continue to be busy teaching private clients, particularly Side-Saddle, the Pony Club and Chilworth Riding Club.

Hulaquin

RIHS

Stud

Harlequin has frozen semen at West Kington Stud (www.westkingtonstud.co.uk) and with Tessa Clarke’s advice it is released to Vets but only if they meet her approval.
My mother has taken over all the breeding for the time being. Thank goodness for one’s mother! Her Catherston Zulu/Ben Faerie mare has had a cracking coloured colt by Harlequin who we have named Hulaquin. The mare is returning to ‘Quin this season.
Moon Fairy’s chestnut filly by Strisedale Mastermind, Harroway Moon Flower (Petal), was sold to Mark Grinter and friends and we wish them well for the coming show season.. Moon Fairy is going to Jane Busch’s new stallion Laguna Royale.
Quillota (Ginny) is due imminently to Emperor Fountain, we are yet to decide where she will return.

I sold Rainbow, after she won the pony Broodmare class at the B.E.F. Elite Show, to Joanna Jensen (see: http://ibthorpemanorfarm.com) who also bought Lady Guinevere’s colt by Fleetwater Opposition but also has one of her polo ponies imminently due to ‘Quin and is sending Rainbow to Jane Busch’s new stallion Laguna Royale.
Rainbow’s last year’s foal, Harroway Supremo, has been gelded and hopefully will stay 14.2 as he has wintered well and not grown too much. This summer we will aim him, hopefully, for another good first premium to go with the one he won last summer in the B.E.F. Sports Pony evaluations.

Dowhills Snow Belle has been to stay to be bitted and taught to show in-hand and am very pleased with what a lovely-looking even-tempered and stunning-moving filly. She is tall and leggy at the moment and very T.B. looking. it will be fascinating to have Quill (Harroway Equinity) back as he is bred along very similar T.B. lines. He is going to be produced as a possible successor to his father but time will tell. The Ewan’s are such wonderful supporters of Harroway I hope Quill will shine for them.
Soulbury Spot on, one of ‘Quin’s fist children, whose career I have followed with interest as he has been such a flag bearer for his father was sold to the Brunskill family who kindly asked me to ride him at the R.I.H.S. last year where he exceeded everyone’s expectations by being winning his class then went champion pony and ended up Reserve Supreme to the subsequent HOYS Champion Red Andes.

I look forward to people sending in pictures and results for us to use on the blog site.
Have a happy and successful season.
