Dear Wendy/Francis

I bought Cally (Blue Gray Gallivant) from you four years ago last December and I just wanted to let you know what a super horse he has been to me. He has a fantastic temperament and is so popular wherever he lives or goes. I have just come back from a show-jumping clinic with Stephen Hadley who commented on what a great horse he is for the second year running. My dressage teacher always comments upon how genuine he is and how he would jump off a cliff for you if you asked - I won't be!! He is loved by all the grooms at the yard where I keep him and when I do take him to shows, people comment on what a nice horse he is. However the most important thing for me is that my 2 and a half year old daughter also loves him and tells him so regularly - he is very gentle with her. I cannot ever see myself selling him and hope my daughter will catch the horse bug so that Cally can teach her the ropes and take care of her. Thank you for producing such a fabulous horse!

Best Regards

Hi Wendy,

Sorry its taken me so long to send these photos to you. I did sell Esperanto in the end, I decided that he was such a lovely horse and was being wasted with me. He ended up have manners to burn and loved nothing better than food. As you will see from the photos he did fill out, still a bit narrow in front but he still had that fantastic movement. He went to a racehorse trainer for her husband and son to ride for some fun and they are going to show him this summer. We are shortly going to see him to see how he is getting on. He certainly landed on his feet with them and they still keep in contact as to how he is getting on. He proved to be an excellent pupil with us and was backed and hacking out quite happily within six weeks. He was a lovely chap and definitely missed up at our yard, you certainly could not fault his temperament in any way which was down to you and your horses. I just needed more time with him which I didn't have but I was very happy when the right home came along for him and he is being used for what he was bred for. Michael also loves his temperament. Will let you know what he is like when we go and see him. all the best to you both.

kind regards

Dear Wendy and Francis

Don't know if you remember but I bought Kelston Karamosah (Mo) from you back in April 2003 as a four year old? I just thought you might like to know how she has gotten on over the last year or so.... She has turned out to be a lovely horse.. she has a lovely kind temperament and is very easy to do and accepts new tasks/places etc very well. I backed her, with the help of my instructor, in the summer of 2003 and then turned her away over the winter and brought her back into work this spring. In July, she spent 2 months at my instructor's home for schooling and she took her to the New Forest on holiday with her family and their horses which she took in her stride... they didn't want to give her back afterwards! She has only gone to one show (due to my lack of time!) but was placed in an inhand class and behaved impeccably throughout the day. We hack out as much as possible and have a weekly lesson and I intend to start competing at prelim level early next year (when the indoor season begins!). She has lovely paces (very showy) and everyone thinks she is beautiful! I have attached a couple of photos taken back in the summer so you can see how she has filled out (she is now 15hh) and she does have a bossy side (see photo of her chasing a cow!) just like her mother! I hope all is well with you and I will keep you updated with her progress.

Kind regards
