Koning Albert took 3 of his Team to Bishop Burton for his first go at Elementary level dressage. The weather wasn't pleasant and us lower level mortals had to do their tests outside. The arena boards were held down with sandbags and were still flapping and the rain seeped in everywhere ☔ Berti was a little full of himself as it's quite hard in the ...
We are all very happy getting Berti out for his first BS show. Another nice DC in the Fox class gives him his qualifier for the second rounds and a great steady DC in the 1m25, gets us back into the swing for 2024. Superbly ridden as ever by Dani Johnston, who rode many DC's on other horses throughout the day, winning the Fox with Elton John ...
A very excited Berti and his team of minions travelled to Manor Grange Stud for his first Dressage outing of 2024, and his first tests since August last year 😮 With Storm Jocelyn on its way, it was already a bit blustery and very wet, but Berti was keen to get on with the job 🙄 After a quick unscheduled piaffe in the car park, Ellie Roberts cracked...
We are delighted to announce that Koning Sport Horses will be attending the Stallion Event being held at Addington Manor Equestrian Centre, Buckinghamshire on Saturday 10th February, 2024. The full list of Stallions attending will be announced in mid January by British Breeding https://british-breeding.com/stallion-event Gates will open at 9a...
Koning Sport Horses have been working with the wonderful Harry Sykes Equestrian Videography and Marketing to produce this stunning video of Berti. Beautifully produced and ridden in this video by Dani Johnston, and also produced up through the levels in dressage by Ellie Roberts, we couldn't be happier with the results. It is such a pleasure workin...
To say we are proud of this horse is an understatement. It was a perfect end to 2021. Bermudez BDA made the long journey to the London International Horse Show to compete in the Services Jumping Championships. We had lent him to PS Charlotte Lee of Dorset Police whose own horse was sadly injured and was therefore unable to help her in her drea...
Very happy for Dani Johnston and Koning Albert competing this weekend at the Winter Classic Show held at Arena UK. On Saturday in a class of 90, Albert and Dani produced a lovely double clear in the Blue Chip Karma. Fabulous for Dani as all 3 of her rides were in the top 15. On Sunday Albert and Dani produced yet another double clear and qualified ...
They say time is a great healer and we're sure that given more time we will become more comfortable with letting Bermudez BDA go to a new home, but it's still a hard choice and talking about it is only just becoming easier. Bermudez BDA (Billy) has been for us the most wonderful and really unique horse that anyone could have wished to own. His life...
Team Koning Sport Horses travelled to Ponderosa Stud, in Coventry at the weekend for the Breeders Elite Stallion Grading Day. First of all, vettings and xray submissions were done and accepted. Then, all the stallions were examined by a panel of judges and then walked and trotted up. The younger stallions went first and these were loose jumped in a...
We took Koning Albert for a quick round at Arena UK's Spooktacular show on the Sunday for a run around the National 1.30m/1.40m Open Handicap 🚀 We were all so pleased with him, he hasn't competed for a month and to come straight in at 1m30 was testament to his abilties and Dani Johnston's great riding. It was just a shame that the tradestand people...
Koning Albert really enjoyed his day at the Defender Burghley Horse Trials as one of only 10 stallions chosen to take part in the Stallion Parade. It was also lovely that all of Team Koning Sport Horses were present, with Dani Johnston piloting for the day, Ellie Roberts and Jill Williams assisting and Dave Williams in charge of filming and dog sit...
Extremely sad sale of a top winning horse whio hasn't yet reached his potential. Bermudez BDA has been a fantastic pony and then horse for us in the 5 years that we've owned him. Sired by Cevin Z, know for his fantastic athleticism, he is not just quick across the ground, but turns on a sixpence to a fence and is super careful. Competing currently ...
King Albert travelled all the way to Sussex to compete in the NexGen 5 year old Championships at the lovely All England Jumping Course at Hickstead.Ridden by Daisy Williams, "Berti" did a gorgeous clear over the 1m10 course. With many professional adult riders in the class, they had their work cut out, but we are proud to say the he was placed in t...
King Albert had a great weekend away. He contested another Newcomers class, doing very well and showing great maturity.He came 2nd in the Newcomers with a lovely Double clear🔝🏆He made a fab effort in the Discovery 2nd rounds but a baby mistake put him out of the placings.

Koning Albert and his 2 stable mates travelled to Harrogate for some junior and senior Showjumping.Koning Albert did some super rounds in the Newcomers and 1m15 Members Cup, coming 3rd and 2nd respectively. He will soon have a holiday as he's deserved one 🏖️
A first ever trip to the beach marks the start or Berti's holidays.Jill rode Berti as he is so calm and as she is nervous he is a great confidence giver, considering he is only 5 years old!He had great fun with his friend King III, went straight in the water, and was like an old pro!
Albert has started back in work and is looking stronger after his holiday. Despite COVID, we're still sticking to our plans of getting him fit and ready for the season ahead.He's such a good boy and has already been with Daisy to BDA Equestrian for a few lessons. Its so great to get going on him again.We can't wait to see what the year holds for hi...
Koning Albert has received all tests back for the 2021 season for CEM, EVA and EIA and all are negative.
We are so excited to announce that 247 Clothing Direct now have Daisy Williams as a supported rider. We have been buying all our embroidery and printing from them for a while and couldn't be happier with the results. Their service and attention to detail is second to none. We look forward to this opportunity to showcase their work.
