Chillis Gem
"Roo"

Owned by Tina Ure, Helen Rothery, Christine Millard and Sarah Gairdner
15.3hh
2009
Sire: Chilli Morning
Dam: Kings Gem (Rock King)

Bred by the Stones and produced by Gemma Tattersall, Roo joined us at the end of 2020. The 2021 season was a fact finding year - there are no shortcuts when getting to know a new horse!  It is no secret that we had a lot of learning through experimentation in order to produce a dressage test with Roo - it was certainly a first not to complete a dressage test! We successfully completed the 2021 season with 2 advanced runs (including a 7th at Allerton Park) and a 4* short at Little Downham.  
So far in 2022, she has completed Thoresby 4* short with a qualifying result, and was placed 14th in both the 3* long at Ballindenisk and 4* short at Bramham. Roo's 2022 year has more than fulfilled our hopes and expectations, culminating in a 3rd in the CCI-L4* at Ballindenisk.  Other 2022 results include:
Blair CCI-L4* 10th
Aston -le-Walls OI 5th
Bramham CCI-S4* 14th
Ballindenisk CCI-L3* 14th
​We are looking forward to the 2023 season already!

Glenmora Harper
"Harper"

Owned by Tina Ure
16.2hh
2015
Sire: Obos Quality 004
Dam: Glenomra Lass

Harper joined us as a 4 year old and really was only just 15.3hh. We have given her plenty of time to grow and change shape: every time her front end caught up with her back end, she suddenly became bum-high again! She is really, in essence, a jumper but she’s brave as a lion and nothing phases her out on a cross country course. She is another of our horses that has successfully stepped up to Novice level this season and has been consistently jumping double clear, proving bold and capable.  We are looking forward to getting her out and about in the 2023 season.

G Star Musterd
"Musterd"

Owner Nigel Taylor and Sarah Gairdner
15.3hh
2011
Sire: Baloubet du Rouet
Dam: Zaigon M (Chin Chin)

Musterd's previous history is fairly sketchy and he joined us as a fairly quirky character. He is now very settled and content at Danesmoor and we are delighted with the way that he has relaxed into himself.  He has produced some good results since being with us; including wins both in eventing and show jumping - some great rounds at 1.30, in particular.  We will be focusing this capable boy on show jumping going forward, but you will still see him on the eventing circuit going forward.

Kaylas Surprise
"Iona" 

Cool Morning
"Alice"

Owner Helen Rothery
16.2hh
2013
Sire: Kings Master
Dam: The Roars of Her

Iona joined us as a 6 year old having hunted in Ireland. She has taken to eventing well proving to be consistent in all 3 phases. She had a very successful 2021 campaign but, sadly, at the beginning of 2022 she had a freak accident removing a lot of skin from her hind leg. Disappointingly, this means she has missed the 2022 Eventing season, but we have high hopes for the 2023 season.  She has healed well and is back in work, and will be competing in some affiliated dressage over the winter season.

Owner: Sarah Gairdner and Tina Ure
16.2hh
2015
Sire: Chilli Morn
Dam: 
Alice joined the team at the end of July 2022 and has had a few nice outings.  She had a good run round the 1* at Blair; plus two top 10 placings in the 100cm at Little Downham and Swalcliffe with double clears.  We are very much looking forward to cementing the partnership over the Winter months and seeing how she progresses in the 2023 season.

Sire: Domani Van den Overweg 
Dam: Firefly 

Pickle joined the yard in 2021 and had a very successful 90 & 100 campaign. This year he has succesfully stepped up to novice and has already gained an 8th placing in the 2*s at Ballindenisk. He is very uphill, eye catching and most certainly one to watch this season. 
Pickle has now been sold and we look forward to seeing him out and about with his new owners.

"Whoopsie"

Owned by Sarah Gairdner 
Gelding 
17hh
2013

Whoopsie is out of Chinnor Hilary, who's grandmother went around Badminton. He was an accident because no one realised his polo pony father hadn’t been gelded!! He hasn’t stopped growing and is big and gangly hence he’s been lightly backed and turned away for the winter.
