Since setting up a FB page, I have neglected this forum somewhat. It is much easier to post photos on FB.

I do have some up to date pics which I will post next week. Our Shagya stallion and his full sister 2 years younger have been in training with a professional SJ, who is delighted with both. Woody, the stallion jumps his first 1.10m this weekend and his sister has her second 95cm training competition at Lion D'Angers, she jumped clear two weeks ago. (Woody only started his SJ career after completing 3x90km endurance, with effortless ease, for his stud book performance)

We have a pure bred CB filly, 3 years old starting lunge work. We will lightly back her later this summer. Her yearling full sister is looking great.

Two ShagyaxCB prospects.

All I need is a few mud free days for a photo-shoot.
 
It is RaceRare Cleveland Bays and Shagya Arabs. I don't have a lot of 'friend's' in spite of lots of requests, not because I am an unfriendly person but I don't post personal information about myself. I use FB just to promote the abilities of two rare breeds.

I am on a personal campaign to show that Cleveland Bays, don't just pull carriages and Shagya Arabs can do a whole lot more than just endurance.
 
I have a few photos to post but a pop-up is interfering with my computer. I have two apples computers, (not glam I get my sons' cast offs!!) so have shut down the other and will try later.

I am so techno useless I cannot post my pics because Photobucket tell me I have blocked advertising..that is news to me.

If you use FB you should be able to find me on RaceRare Cleveland Bay & Shagya Arabian Horses I don't know how else to explain. Lots of video footage too. I particularly wanted to show our 3 year old CB filly, there is video of her being lunged. H&H put her on their FB page when she was a foal with 3,000 viewings, I posted her pic at 20 months on this page. Someone said "That beats a warmblood any day" I am really proud of her. Our plan is to dispel the myth that Cleveland Bays only make sport horses if they are crossed with TB's. She will be jumping next year.

Thank you for liking. Thank you forum members who have liked my page.

I have two greys, stallion and filly who is his full sister. If you scroll down the video you can see them both jumping at Lion D'Angers last summer,he has red boots hers are blue.
 
Found and liked. Some pages, Faracat, are public so you can see them without being a member. I don't know if that is one.

Really like the shagyas, they look like proper athletic work arabs, we are far too used to seeing seahorses nowadays. A friend of mine has a couple of arabs, one Russian one Crabbet, I have invited her to like your page, she is always looking for a nice stallion.
 
Can't you join using an odd name - my dog joined originally so I could look at things like Rollin's page - and just fly under the radar? Create a freebie email to do so.
 
Faracat, I am so sorry I know you don't do FB, I resisted for years. I finally decided to set it up so I could post pics easily.

We are really busy, boyo jumps tomorrow and sister on Tuesday, in spite of rugs AND neck covers they are both determined to be black horses.

I will try and get my photo bucket account sorted. That was my intention yesterday but found myself scuppered!!
 
Thank goodness we made the right decision. It is the beginning of the SJ season in France and we can ask for results 'not' to be declared on the FFE website, if we choose to use the competition for training.

Woody jumped this morning at Angers at 1.10M it was his highest yet. Our Professional jockey asked if we wanted a training session. However baby boy jumped so brilliantly in training last week we decided to go for it, he has not jumped since September 2015. Boy dun good with a clear round and as always well behaved when surrounded by mayhem, 63 horses in the first class and a pony competition too!!

Video will go onto our FB site later today.
 
At last we have managed to get Photobucket up on new computer but photos on old computer and I can no longer email them across!! Very frustrating.

It has been another good week for two Shagya Arabs, full brother and sister. She jumped clear again at Lion D'Angers on Tuesday 1.05m. he jumped clear today at Saumur, 1.10m. If we had had time to stay our professional jockey would have ridden him in the 1.20m class, he thinks he is well able to jump that. Again video on our FB site tomorrow.

We have a 3 YO pure bred CB and a 2 YO ShaxCB to bring on next. Life is becoming quite exciting.
