Thanks for explaining, there were some horses near me that jumped at Le Touquet and are now at Windsor. Hopefully they're ok....
Lovely first round from Amaretto D'arco today! You must be so proud of him :)
Luxury choice! Are you watching on FEI TV?
What's the deal with the French? They've put through a B Team, as there is a virus in Normandy, but won't that affect the other horses in La Baule?

Seventeen years old and a serious contender for the US Team. Good for her! The USEF selection trials are pretty hard core.
How old is he? He has a shoulder that is very straight, so movement would be restricted. He is too long in the back for me. I would also be very reluctant to use any mare of mine to teach someone elses's stallion manners, insured or not.
LouiseM is an HHO showjumping member, based in Belgium, and she has offered to come to the UK for a teaching clinic/tour. She produces top horses (Amaretto D'Arco, Manneken du Coty), and is a amazing trainer. It's a fantastic opportunity....
No brainer for me I'm afraid.
Plenty of well bred, sound and approved stallions out there, who have lovely confirmation and temperaments. The stud fee is only the start, so if I invested in breeding my own, I'd use the best I could afford. If I could afford only a small stud fee, I couldn't...
Thanks for that Skydy. It appeared from the initial post that CMP was being labelled a cad and a bounder for having an affair.
I agree that the chef d'equipe and the team showjumping trainer sleeping together stinks of nepotism, it isn't professional.
Thanks. I will email. I have that landline number but when I phone I can hear him but he can't hear me, and said to try his mobile, which I don't have! Will post on the idhg forum as well.
Hello,
Does anyone have a mobile number or email address for Ian Vandenburgh, a behaviourist based in Witney, Oxon? The landline is faulty and I need to get in touch ASAP.
Thanks
Also in CR, Veterinary and NL
