Learning Half Pass, Travers and Renvers today
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 very successfully at Elementary dressage, has evented, (but I simply can't afford it any more), hacks out, goes to stud and spends a lot of time out in the fields and socialises with all the other horses here.
His breeding is predominantly for jumping, but I feel that all his activities help each other. His dressage creates balance, collection and harmony which helps his jumping, and his jumping makes him more powerful and stronger over the back which in turn helps his dressage.
We couldn't ask for a nicer natured horse and just love watching his progress with his two fabuous riders, Ellie Roberts and Dani Johnston
All the horses here are fed on Honeychop Feeds Topline and Shine or Super Senior and Blue Chip Pro as a balancer
They look and feel fabulous and we couldn't be happier
