23 Oct 2011 - **Don Deinde MKM selected into Hartpury Academy**
We were very pleased to hear from the owner of Don Deinde MKM -

"Just thought I would let you know about what Don Deinde is getting up to.

I have recently started at Hartpury College studying a BSc Equine Science degree. At Hartpury there is an opportunity to be part of the Equine Academy where you recieve regular training from Carl Hester and Nick Burton and other various opportunities. To get into the equine academy you had complete a trial, I had originally planned to do this on my older horse as he is working at a higher level, however he has not yet made a full recovery from his injury which he sustained earlier in the year. This meant that I had to trial on Rio. He was against a lot of good horses who are competing at PSG level and I didnt think that we would get in. Rio was an absolute superstar and I couldn't of asked for him to do anymore and to my absolute delight I have just found out that we have made it into the Hartpury Equine Academy!!

Nick Burton has said:

'An impressive horse with a highly trainable attitude. We look forward to welcoming you to the development squad where we hope to develop you and your horse to achieve your goals in the future.'

I am so excited and am over the moon with Rio, he never fails to put a smile on my face and tries every time I ride!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for breeding my horse of a life time"

10 May 2011 - Well done to Gayle Raeside and Bailey for their win in the British Novice at Ingliston Ec 22-24 April Senior Show.


06 May 2011 - We were so pleased to hear from the owner of Don Deinde MKM -
hear is what she had to say about him.

"I am thrilled with Don Deinde ( Rio ) – everyone who meets him thinks he is an absolute star in the making.

He has recently attended a BYRDS residential training camp and did not put a foot wrong for the entire 3 days at Somerford Park . Last Monday we were asked to take part in the BYRDS North West Regional Championships and some photos are attached from this event. He performed really well as, up until this date, we have only been competing at preliminary level. The tests we had to do were a novice and a squad young rider test which my trainer felt was elementary standard. I knew this would be a big ‘ask’ of him as he is filling in for my other horse who is unfortunately on box rest. But, as we have come to expect of Rio , he tried really hard, was fabulous to ride and got some very positive feed back and scores.

I am planning to take him out to do some of the BD Young Horse classes with the Potential International Dressage Horse in May at Myerscough International Arena and the British Young Horse at Somerford Premier League also in May. I will let you know how we get along.

Rio is turning out to be my dream horse and I feel so lucky to have him.

I am due to start an Equine Science Degree at Hartpury College this September and both Rio and my other horse Ronald are coming with me. This should be a fantastic experience for us all and I am really looking forward to it.

I will let you know how we progress and thank you once more for breeding such a truly amazing horse. "

His owner says "Hi Karen, thought i'd just email you to give you a wee update! Bailey is doing fantastic, he's turned out to be a talented showjumper, we haven't had much time to take him to dressage but hopefully will over the summer. He's been placed every time out and has now won
