"Dressage Rider, schooling and friend" Ellie has been schooling and competing the Koning Sport Horses since 2022 and has brought them on immensley in this time. Her kind, calm manner is so welcome to see and the horses love her. She has competed up to Inter 1 level as well as representing GB numerous times at Junior and Young Rider level from 2020-...

Whilst Jill was away in Gorla Minore, Italy wIth Bermudez (Billy) who was jumping for Team GB at the European Championships, Dave kindly stepped in and bravely took Koning Albert to the Newcomer Second rounds at Arena UK in rather soggy weather ☔ Koning Albert (Berti) jumped really well with Dani Johnston riding and went through to the second round...

Koning Albert travelled up to Northallerton EC for the Summer Regional Dressage Championships as he was in the Newcomer Second rounds on the day that our area one was held. In a large class of 34 Gold level riders, Ellie Roberts and Koning Albert weren't the favourites to be in the top 5, as Berti has only been doing BD since the end of last year a...

Sienna Lanni and Billy were selected to represent GB again on the Children on Horses Team in the European Championships in Gorla Minore, Italy in July 🇮🇹 An absolutely fabulous time was had by all children, parents, owners and trainers, both at the competition and Socially. The weather was terribly hot and humid and the stabling ventilation made ha...

Koning Albert's smallest offspring has arrived with gusto 🏁 This lovely filly decided that it was high time to make an entrance and took everyone by surprise by arriving earlier than expected. Her dam is a gorgeous 12.2hh dun pony and she is proving to be a perfect loving mother. 🤩 We look forward to hearing more about her as she blossoms 🌹 Thank y...

Ellie Roberts, Jill and Koning Albert had a trip out to Manor Grange Stud at Knottingley for 2 tests on Saturday. Berti was completely unphased that Jill had forgotten the saddle numbers and was rushing around asking to borrow some from anyone, so thank you Sue Clark, for kindly lending us yours and leaving them with us. They were clearly lucky num...

Albert only needed one more Double Clear in Newcomers for 2024 rounds, and with the 2023 Second rounds coming up, we decided with Dani Johnston to run over to Sykehouse Arena to fit a round in.  Albert didn't disappoint, with not only a DC in Newcomers, but another steady one in the Foxhunter class, coming in 3rd 🙌 Thank you Dani for your time...

Koning Albert spent the weekend in his dancing shoes at Willowbanks EC 🕺 Competing against some very flashy combinations, Berti did everything that was asked of him. Saturday the scores were disappointing for what both felt and looked like 2 really nice Novice tests, but sadly that's dressage for you. All of his placings were in the Top 10, wi...

Check out this gorgeous yearling filly 🔥 "Wonder van Koning", aka Nala, sired by Koning Albert out of a beautiful mare by Its the Business x Furioso Z lines 🤩 She went to her very first in hand show at the weekend and received huge compliments from the judges.

We've been deliberately not doing much British Showjumping so that we could use Koning Alberts remaining points to squeeze another set of Newcomers qualifiers in for 2023 😬 A little run down the road to Willow Banks EC, with Dani Johnston at the helm of 4 horses all in the same situation saw Berti gain another tick in the box with a lovely Double c...

A really enjoyable trip away with Team Lanni and Koning Sport Horses working together at the Youth Nations Cup. Bermudez BDA (Billy) and Sienna Lanni tackled these very strong and technical courses with great maturity. It was safe to say that there were very few clears each day across all the levels and sometimes sadly no clears at all 🤷‍♀️ Sienna ...

We are thrilled for the owners of this gorgeous filly who arrived over the weekend 😍 Sired by Koning Albert and out of their successful event and Tetrathlon mare, what a cracker she is 🤗 She is already bold and inquisitive, so has been named, "Lara Croft" 🏃‍♀️ Can't wait to watch her progress 👀

Another run out to Willowbanks EC on Bank Holiday monday with Ellie Roberts riding Koning Albert. Competing in Novice 23 and 37A, Berti was a bit full of himself 🙄 He had been to stud in the morning and competing in the afternoon which is a first for him. Nonetheless, he came 2nd in the first test with over 65% and won the qualifier with nearly 69%...

A great start to Billys FEI season, starting at Compiègne in France. He and his stable mate Mac, with Sienna Lanni in the pilot seat had a productive and enjoyable few days at this lovely place, taking several placings between them.  The Grand Prix class on Saturday was particularly harsh with very few clears out of 62 riders. Sienna and Billy...

This gorgeous colt foal, now named Raiffe, was born to a lovely mare down in Sussex on 23rd April, 2023.
