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...
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...
Ellie Roberts, Jill and Koning Albert had a trip out to Manor Grange Stud at Knottingley for 2 tests on Saturday.

They were clearly lucky num...

Team KSH took Koning Albert out to Manor Grange Stud to try out a harder Novice test and his new Novice Freestyle to music 🕺🕺 Berti was a little disconnected at times during the test and made a few minor mistakes which dropped him a few marks but none-the-less, the judge liked what she saw in both tests and awarded 66.8% and 1st place in N37a and 7...

Well, today Albert showed us how versatile he is, when we took him for an in-hand lesson with Ryan Shannon at Manor Grange Stud. Albert has never done any in-hand work apart from covering mares! so this was indeed a new experience. With Ryans calm and kind training, it took just 15 minutes before Albert took his first baby steps. Just because Alber...
