News 2009

Chamfron By Dand sold

Picture
At the beginning of March Chamfron By Dand left to go to his new home in Perthshire. Now called Owen he has settled in exceptionally well and is described as being incredibly laid back, perfect and a complete sook! He will be aimed at a career in endurance and jumping in time.

New broodmare

Picture
We were thrilled to add the very classy playing thoroughbred mare "Lady Erica" to the broodmare band in April, after coveting her for quite some time. She has settled in fabulously and has been covered by Arrayan Numa.




Chamfron Marco Polo sold

Picture
Chamfron Marco Polo left for his new home with the Bell family in Cumbria  in April, he will be shown and in time stand as a stallion.

Visiting mare foals

Picture
Former Chamfron Stud mare "Kofi" foaled a bay filly on the 24th of April by Exbury Ghost. A very refined pretty foal, no signs of spots yet so it will be interesting to see how she colours out.

Pitufa wins Best Playing Pony award

Picture
Pitufa won Best Playing Pony at the Perth Spring four goal tournament.

After Arrayan winning Best Playing Pony last year we were surprised and delighted to get the double!

Sponsored again by Kath at Kilbarchan Vets.


Visiting mare foals

Picture
We were pleased to hear that Kath Wilson's polo mare Giraffe foaled down a chestnut roan filly by Arrayan Numa.

Chamfron Snow Angel sold

Picture
Chamfron Snow Angel was sold in August to her new home in East Lothian with Gordon Hastie

Polo Handicap

Picture
Mark's polo handicap went up to Zero at the end of the season, despite him not getting much chance to play this year.




Equithon

Picture
In September took Pitufa down to Cheshire to take part in the Cheshire Endurance Group's "Equithon" ride. This was a 26 mile charity ride held at Eaton Estate with the kind permission of the Duke of Westmister.

We took part as a team of four South American horses, three from Edlestone Academy, with Mark riding the ex bull penning horse Charua and myself on Pitufa. We completed the ride in three hours and thirty eight minutes and this was good enough to win the Open Challenge. Pitufa had the lowest heart rate of the team horses, despite not being hard fit.


Scottish Appaloosa show

Picture
Chamfron By Dand had a successful first show outing, placing second in the yearling class at the Scottish Appaloosa Show with his owner Rebecca Crump. This qualified him for the Royal London Show 2010.

He got some very positive comments from the judge about his manners ("very well behaved"), temperament ("sweetest nature"), conformation ("lovely limbs and a front to die for") and movement. The only real negative being how immature he was, which is absolutely fair enough as he was a very ill foal this time last year and is bound to be behind others his age

Foals sold

Picture
Three foals now have new owners, Chamfron Kukri is now owned by Gemma Hope in the Scottish Borders, he has settled in to his new home and will be shown as a youngster before going eventing.

Chamfron Malambo is now co-owned with Moira Cocker and will stay at the stud as both a polo pony for Mark and for Moira to hack.

Chamfron Colorado is owned by Nicola Carruthers, he will winter with our other foals and then head five minutes down the road for a future showing and hunting career.
