NEW ADDITIONS

Before Christmas 2 new additions came to the yard... NOBLE BESTMAN (Steve to his friends!) and NOBLE SKYBOY (Sky).
We bought the legendary pony NOBLE SPRINGBOK from Kelly Ward as an unproven 5yo, so when she called to say she had just jumped his 4yo brother we got straight in the car to have a look at him! Philip Walker drove and it was like a trip down memory lane for me... when we arrived Skyboy was in the same stable as Spring had been when I went to try him 7 years ago!!! It is quite scary how similar they look!!
Whilst we were there Kelly asked if I would have a sit on her working hunter.. NOBLE BESTMAN, he is clearly her favourite and she has had him since he was 3yo (he is now 9yo)
He hadn't jumped since HOYS and was rather pleased to be doing something!
After discussions on the way home, Philip agreed to buy Skyboy as a project for me to produce so Grace can do pony trials in a couple of years... We can't wait for the day when she is competing the 2 brothers against each other!! If he turns out half as good as Spring we will be happy!!!
Kelly wanted Steve to do some eventing so I have bought a share in him and he will start his eventing career this year... with a background of Working Hunters and Showjumping he will hopefully take to it like a duck to water!!!
Fingers crossed for the season ahead.... !
