Straight from the horses mouth; or at least …the Catherston News Desk!
The foaling season is about to begin with our first mares in for foaling down at Catherston. We are also busy with the dressage horses getting ready for the Regionals. Contenders from Novice Freestyle to Advanced Medium will be at Kingston Maurward in the middle of February. Good luck to you all. Catherston is excited to announce that the Loriston-Clarke Family and friends have purchased the young stallion Timolin from his breeder. Timolin, by Totilas stood at Catherston last year and we eagerly await his first crop of foals some due in April 2015. Timolin will be standing at the stud fee of £1,000 to approved mares. Please forward your mare’s breeding, photographs of her and any stock already produced.
Catherston has been quick to congratulation Jan at the BEF for organising another stunning Stallion Parade at Hartpury. They say that their lovely stallion Timolin behaved perfectly in his first ever ridden performance with Lizzie Murray. Lizzie also showed Catherston Springsteen. Littledale Bright Star with Morgan Graveley reminded people that smart things come in small packages and is superb at crossing with small horses to produce outstanding pony FEI dressage prospects. The last of our boys parading was Opposition Bombshell with Charlotte Dicker CFD Dressage in the eventing section who again presented himself exceptionally.
All in all a very successful outing for Catherston. Congratulations form the Horse Scout Team.
