- **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"

We were
pleased to hear from the owner of Riviera
-
"Rivy 19th
in Medium Open at the Nationals, creditable result,
no mistakes just not so engaged as some of the
neater shorter combinations. Really pleased with
him, he behaved well, no mistakes and enjoyed
the experience. Just done our affiliated this

- 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. "

were pleased to hear from the owner of
Bailey (Belissimo x Rubinstein).
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
about £300 BSJA since October last year".

were delighted to receive some pictures of Siro
MKM. He has now started under saddle and his
owner is delighted with him. "Just
wanted to let you know Siro is backed and is AWESOME!!
He'll obviously only be lightly worked for a year
or so but he is supremely talented! You bred a
great horse!"

Siro
MKM is by Sir Donnerhall and out of our broodmare
Raissa (by Rubinstein).
Raissa is currently in foal to Fürstenball
(Fürst Heinrich x Donnerhall), due beginning
