  NEWSFebruary has been busy with lots of dressage and showjumping, despite being ill Dougie and Cute both qualified for the BD combined training championships in March. We have also had numerous placings in both disciplines for Iona, Dougie, Cute, Daisy and Delilah. Blue, owned by Sarah’s capable apprentice Ella, has also been in the BS ribbons. Sarah’s has reached the halfway point of her BS Level 3 UKCC (coaching qualification) and is thoroughly enjoying discussing and implanting best practice with fellow coaches. It’s the small things that can make the most difference and despite the challenging weather the yard is now benefiting from HorseRail fencing around all the turnout paddocks. The eventing season is due to kick off with Poplar Park, Suffolk, closely followed by Swalcliffe Park on 14th March where Iona will have a canter round the 90 class. This April Sarah is looking forward to running a mix and match support and training clinic to help guide first time eventers or those moving up a level. This will offer training at Edgcote as well as course walks and warm-up support at the Aston-le-Walls event. This is not necessarily just for those entered to compete at this event: those looking to enter an equivalent event later in the year would also find this beneficial. HORSE PROFILESEach month we would like to introduce a horse on our yard so you can get to know us all better—so we thought we would start with our poster boy: Kenlis Lad. Horse: Kenlis Lad Nick name: Kenny (think South Park) Age: 12 Gender: Gelding By: Luidam out of a master hunt mare The Good: Has yet to see a fence and jump it where effort is required. The Bad: we found out why the breeders called him ‘little ninja’ - his reputation means there aren’t too many people willing to hack him out! The Ugly: ditching Sarah on the way to the XC start at Aldon International and her needing to see the doctor and a quick change of clothes due to a waterfall nosebleed Quirks: he regularly lets himself out if you don’t bungee his stable shut!! You may also have seen his eye watching you round the school... Hope for the future: Kenny will not be eventing anymore after an injury at Ballindenisk International but look out for him at BS and BD shows near you.
