We are so pleased to announce the safe arrival of "Cosima", a very pretty foal sired by Koning Albert. A miracle pregnancy, since the Post Office failed to deliver the semen on time before the mare had ovulated. Frantic phone calls back and forth between vets, the owner, myself and the local Post Office, and the semen that should have been delivere...

Poor Koning Albert has hit a run of bad luck with his jumping at the moment during the second rounds classes. Whilst jumping his socks off, he has managed over several shows to: knock a pole off by touching it with his tummy, decide he knew best and took a big oxer on from a mile off, be marked for landing in the water at Stainsby Grange when the p...

Unfortunatly for us, Ellie shared the warm up with 3 coloured horses, and one of them was in season. (Albert prefers coloureds or grey ladies🙈) Ellie coaxed Albert...

It might not be everyones thoughts, but I firmly believe that training and even competing in a range of disciplines keeps a stallion, (or any horse for that matter) happy, fit and gives them the interest to give that bit more.It's no different than humans, we all like variety in our day. Koning Albert is currently showjumping at 1m35, competing ver...

We are so happy for the VH Stud producing this stunning filly.

She is also the first Tobiano that Berti has created, but the the dam being Homozygous Tobiano T/T, there was little doubt that thi...

Albert had the week off to recover from Blue Chip as he was very tired, his legs were a little hot but fortunatley he didn't have a temperature. We took it easy on him with a little trip out to Epworth EC for some dressage. Managing to dodge the rain, Ellie and Berti did 2 lovely tests in the short arena. Berti made a faux pas in his canter change ...

We think it's always important to write honest news articles, as in this game, it doesn't always go right. There's absolutley no point in only posting the days when it goes well, as that is Social Media world where everything is shiny, better than life itself and outright utter rubbish. The upsides, were we had a great time supporting Dani & Ka...

A cheeky trip to Manor Grange Stud Competition Centre, Koning Albert and Ellie Roberts entered two Novice tests. After a small drama in the warm up when a girl on a cheeky mare was deposited on the floor and the mare ran straight for Berti, who kindly carried on listening to Ellie instead of what he'd probably rather be doing, it was their turn in ...

Koning Albert and Ellie Roberts nailed two tests today at Port Royal despite some improvisations made by Albert to liven up the test 🤷‍♀️ With 35 entries Michelle Bainbridge ran a tidy ship and it all went very smoothly.

We were very excited to take Koning Albert to the British Breeding Stallion Show held at Addington Manor Equestrian Centre, Buckinghamshire on Saturday 10th February, 2024.
