Oh dear. This sounds odd for someone who is writing about British breeding and a pity that then she would not have seen an excellent day as a result. As I am in education I know how it is very discouraging for students when they are setting out to learn, to be given low marks and negative feedback

There is the Celia Clarke who is the editor of the quarterly British Breeder?

I only catch up on occasions with what is online for this Showcase and the auction and after an interval I am truly humbled now by the length of the list of donations for the Silent Auction and the quality of those donations. What I also very much like is that as I will be attending on the days...

Just taken another look at the stallions listed for the SSGB, and I am very impressed by the names on the list there are some more even since I last read it. I am looking ahead to being there on the Saturday, and hope that I can get over for Sunday as well. Want to see my hero John Whitaker in...

Hey, I will come and say hello to Carousel and to whoever is on your trade stand, Touchwood! Look forward to it :)

Stallion shows galore over the next week, its a real treat. First Hartpury, then the SSGB at Addington on the next weekend, which looks fabulous as well - I want to see those Olympian names who are coming, both riders and horses. I've never seen the Funnells demo but a friend describes it to...

I am just catching up with the news on GB stallion shows and I must say that it looks like an exciting month with lots to see. I'm looking forward to seing Franklyn Sugar, he looks to be an impressive boy and I am keen on Furst Heinrich offspring they have such a record of success. It is...

I really liked Persiflage when I saw him at Biddenden : and as a bit of an aside, but related to the theme of introducing outcrosses to WB breeds to improve stamina, movement, etc ... I heard from the owner of a prize-winning Andalsian the other day that several German studs have started to use...

Well done, congratulations, great to see a consistent achievements over the years from a British based stud!

Great news for Mill Law and he is a stallion who many of us have admired over time as he has proved so consistent with his offspring results, his owners must be proud, and it is proof that sometimes we can forget that there are real high quality SH sires out there in the UK and some other areas...

I consider this likely! It has happened a lot. Personally I would talk directly to the studs that have been mentioned as they are very helpful and you will find that Bernard le Courtois at Brullemail for example is a great expert and does speak English.

But blackberry - is that the fruit that grows on bushes or like my phone? - how can you know as you have only appeared today as a joiner? Anyway it will be good to look forward to either a BEF show or maybe the treat of both in 2011. I have to laugh at the idea of bells and whistles at a...

Thank you for the reminder - I have visited the site, and I have just one complaint that there are too many interesting articles to read at the one time :) I like the very informative background to the Billy Stud Open Day and the views of the writer on all the stallions. Also the exclusive...

Well my friend it is interesting to see that almost all your posts seem to relate to the stallions that are owned or represented by a Mr Rehill so personally I would take a bit of salt with your remarks. Also I prefer to hear positive news about a horse and not attacks on others. A good...

Yes, I have just come across this horse and really like the look of him. He would probably be very good value as compared to some of the bigger names but he has been selected by people who have impressive judgements. Seabiscuit I believe that Grafenstolz was at Birkhof before he was brought...
