Dear Maxine

Mum and I brought Razz (was chuckles) from you last autumn and just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how he’s getting on. So far we have been concentrating on training him and mum so they speak the same language. Mum loves him and wouldn’t part with him for the world. He is a lovely forward going horse who we are sure is going to do well this summer (plan to do some unaffiliated shows, jumping, jump-cross and dressage) Hopefully we can send you some better pics of him competing, show photographers always seem to do a better job. I myself found a 16.3hh gelding that loves razz to bits and as far as we are concerned they both have a home for life. Razz is coming on holiday with us this year for some intensive flatwork and jumping lessons so we are ready for the new season, the hope is after this year we will try to affiliate him and see how it goes from there.

Thank you ever so much for a lovely horse who has both character and good looks.

We will let you know how it goes.

Thank again

Evelyn and Julie Little

Hi Maxine Hope you are well. Just thought I would drop you a few lines about Milo. He is still a lovely boy!! He has qualified for 2nd round Trailblazers dressage so we are off to Golden Cross on May 4th to try and get to Stoneleigh! I took him to the beach for the first time last week and he was such a good boy, he loved it! He was abit dubious about the waves but they all are till they get used to it. We also went to a UK chasers course at the weekend where he was in his element!! I'm sure he's growing, he looks huge in my lorry now! When I eventually get some pictures that do him justice I will send you one at last. Regards Mary

Hi Maxine Just wondering if you have got the info on Milo's breeding yet? And also I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with him, I absolutely love him, he is so sweet! I am almost too scared to tell people how lovely he is because I don't want to tempt fate and it all go wrong! He's settled in really well now, his eyes cleared up after some eye drops from the vet. We've been hacking out lots and he is fantastic in the traffic, we get loads of tractors, lorries etc round here and he doesn't mind any of them. On Sunday I took him and my friend's horse up to a UK Chasers course and we had a fantastic ride, he led all the way and I was brave enough to do some small jumps and he was so well behaved! Its actually made me realise just how much my last horse worried me, I am constantly thinking what's going to happen next, but so far he's just looked after me! I am planning to go to local dressage mid November if all goes well. The annoying thing is that I've got to have another knee op next week and won't be able to ride for a couple of weeks and I don't want to do that! My husband likes him too and he's not into horses at all. Fingers crossed that he carries on being a good boy! Regards Mary
Hi Maxine, I just thought I'd mail you as I saw you had entered Munstead back in September and was hoping I'd bump into you with Hugo. We competed at Intro that day and came 4th, he is doing really well and is placed dr, sj & ode every time we are out! Hoping to move up to Pre-Novice by the end of next season too. Many many thanks, Alex
Hi Maxine Thought I would let you know how well Freddie is doing - everyone loves him at Oaklands College and he has settled in really well. He is such a character and has now become quite affectionate I could never part with him ever and I will always be grateful to you for encouraging me to buy him when I was having last minute doubts and worries - he is the horse I always dreamed of owning! Hope you are well. Carole Maddison
Well done Joanna winning the PN at Pulborough on Harry Here are a couple from the Milton Keynes 3DE Harry a super young horse that we sold going very well in the eventing field...
Hi Maxine Just to let you know that Casper is doing well. He has had a lazy winter just hacking around but hope to do a bit more with him this year. I have attached a recent photo of him posing in the driveway after a hack out. Hope you are all well.Jeanette Woodrow
Dear Maxine I hope you got the photo of Ash and me alright at Christmas – sailing over the medium height jumps at our local show – we came 5^th! He is truly wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found him thanks to you. Our dressage has come on in leaps and bounds – we came from a fairly disastrous session a couple of weeks ago, to winning the class on Saturday against some pretty decent competition, so I am on cloud nine! His jumping was always good and is now getting better and he’s giving me so much confidence that you probably wouldn’t recognise me. We love him hugely and he is a star. Hope all is well with you – best wishes Amanda
Wanted to let you know how Belle is getting on. We moved her to a new yard in a place called Eynsham Park, similar to blenheim estate, in july. She has really settled in and as it is such a clam yard it has had the same effect on her. Last summer we spent mostly having fun out hacking with a bit of schooling here and there. More recently though we have been concentrating more on her schooling so that she could possibly do some competing this season. Before now i hadn't really jumped her much... but a log out hacking made me realise that she has got quite a nice jump on her. Within three weeks she was jumping 3ft which i was very chuffed with. I loose schooled her at 1.30m and she was still leaving a lot of room, but i have decided to concentrate more on technique for now. Also, Last september we took her to the Blenheim Sponsored ride which was a week after the 3 day event. Which was a complete pleasure as she was exceptionally well behaved, even though her friend was not quite as good. She was quite happy for other horses to canter past and to even go into the lake.... Although she was not too sure about the size of some of the jumps that we walked up to! She took the whole day in her stride which made me very confident about taking her out in the future. All round she is a fantastic little horse who is definately part of the family now. She is the horse we have always wanted her to be from the start... She is very happy, and even whinneys at us and trots up to us to catch her in the field. We even caught dad having a cuddle the other day! She is loved very much and knows it! Hopefully in the summer we will be able to take her out and about, Possibly some BSJA and maybe intro BE. I work for Kitty Boggis, who events in the GB eventing team and i have gained so much experience from going there and i enjoy it very much and feel quite privilaged to be trusted with all the horses there! I am also studying a Foundation Degree in Equine Science and Management at Oxford Brookes University which means i am getting lessons up to twice a week which is very beneficial to the work i have been doing with Belle.
Hello Maxine, Just thought I would give you a quick email to let you know how orlando is getting on. He is a great horse and although you made me jump him first time I got on him I'm glad you did, he is a great horse to ride and a pleasure to have in the stables. I don't think you could have found as a better horse for us. Thank you Carly burgess
Heya Maxine, Thought i would just email you again to let you know i had my first lesson on Magic today and my instructor loved him and thought he was lovely and perfect for what i needed! She even wants to ride him next week! Thank you so much he really is a super horse and has settled in so well! I love him to bits and can't wait until i van start taking him out and about! He really is a little star! Thank you so much! Lorna and Magic xx
Hi Maxine Just a quick message to let you know how Katie (aka Nibeley Lady Lhee) is settling in, She's doing great I couldn't be happier with her. We've done a few show jumping clinics, a cross country day and a sponsored ride! I've attached a picture of us doing the sponsored ride she's proved a real confidence giver. Hope things are going well for you Thanks for a great horse Regards Jenny
Hi Maxine Just thought I would let you know that Casper is doing great. We did the riding club camp this week and he was placed second in the ODE. He won a rosette for the fastest round XC too. The instructor really wants him and has said that if I ever sell him, I have to ask her first. We got 62% in our first dressage test and even had a 8 for one of our moves. Thanks for a great horse. When I get photos I will e-mail one to you. Jeanette
Hi Maxine Just a quickie to let you know how Rosie is getting on....... She has been great and I really feel like I am getting to know her. My vet has aged her as four years old but she really has a sensible head on her shoulders. I took her on a sponsored ride and she didn't put a hoof wrong - she was so solid and sensible. I had been really nervous but had a great time. We are going to go out soon and do our first Prelim dressage - sadly I am away for the October one but November seems to be the time!! We are also going cross country next week and I am taking her to an indoor school for a lesson before the dressage. She is just brilliant to put in the trailer and I can take her anywhere. Such a relief to have found such a sensible horse!!! Do you have another?????? Seriously, I have a friend who is on the lookout for something similar, so if you know of anything very sensible but still fun, about 15hh to 15.2hh, please let me know!!! Many Thanks Kate (and Rosie) x
Casper ’s settled well now and going for a working holiday for 2 weeks while I’m away at friends where he will be schooled and jumped etc. He will have his first fun ride in September so if I get any pictures ill send them to you. Many thanks Jeanette
03.08.06 Hi Maxine I just wanted to let you know that woody is doing great, I feel that I've owned him for years. He was fab at camp, everyone loved him he didn't put a foot wrong, got excited cross country and had a little stop at a ditch, but seeing as that's all he did wrong I can't complain. He has settled really well and am taking him to his first show on sat, and are competing in the Riding club teams. Thanks once again. Katie
03.08.2006 hi maxine, just a quick note to say tache is doing great and being the new baby she is the centre of everyones attention, equine and human! She has settled better than i could have hoped and will be doing Edenbridge and Oxted at the end of August, fingers crossed we can send you some great photos. Thanks once again for the great service in both the selling of my horse and the buying of Tache. CHARLIE
03rd Aug 2006 Dear Maxine, I just thought I’d drop you a quick line to say that ‘Ash’ is a major poppet and we’re having a lot of fun! I have signed up for our first two public appearances and hope they go well. I will let you know! Everyone who has met him thinks he is wonderful and he IS! He’s settled in very well and seems very happy in one of the big fields here at the Farm. He comes over to me when I want to bring him in and is terribly excited when he gets his ‘tea’ (I’ve introduced a small meal of chaff and cool cubes as he’s working quite hard)! Hope all is well with you and maybe when I’ve got a bit more confidence, you’ll see me sailing over some bigger jumps at East Bysche or Blue Anchor! Very best wishes Amanda
Hi Maxine Just a quick note to say Happy Christmas, and to let you know how I'm getting on with Ashley, purchased from you this year. He is everything you said he was and more. He is a lovely chap, and a super ride, alone or in company, but boy can he eat! I'm planning on some dressage over the Winter and Jumping clinics which will help get my confidence up. I'll send you some more pictures when I have them! Thank you. Pippa, Hayling Island.
heya Maxine! i thought id let you know how Dj (dougal) is doing! i could not be happier with him still!! I have realised this month that i have my complete confidence back!!! i did my first competition on Dj, we did XC which is definitely his thing, we did a good clear round! when we bought him, we thought he wouldn't be the greatest jumper...but wow!!!! he has a pop on him! we recently moved yards and everyone loves him here! his jumping is coming on leaps and bounds, i was jumping him3ft 3 yesterday...and we have loosed jumped him 4ft 3...I was to scared to put it up higher on my own though! although flatwork isn't his best aspect he's really coming on. you would be so proud of him! I know I am! from Sian I've attached some recent photos :)
Hi Maxine Just thought I'd let you know how Ataboy is getting on. I have given him the stable name 'Alby' as it means white in Irish and he suits him! I took him to several shows throughout the summer and we were placed every time out. He is a very sweet natured horse and everything your advert said. I am very happy with him and he settled in really well. I am aiming to do dressage with him throughout the winter months and if I'm brave enough tackle the odd cross country! Us oldies aren't as brave as the youngsters!! Kind regards Christine Duke
Hi Maxine Just to up date you on how Razz (chuckles) is doing. I had hoped to affiliate him this year but with me being in my final year at university I just couldn’t find the time so he has just been to local comps and schooling sessions. Mum and I took him on holiday with our riding club and he was a real hit and an absolute start when hacking around Ringstead and on Hunstanton beach. His dressage is coming on leaps and bounds and he always gets high marks for his paces. In fact he gets so excited going out and about to dressage and sj that he sometimes thinks he knows best! I have been offered obscene amounts of money for him by one judge who I have run into several times, even when in the last test the excitement got to much and he let of some cheerful bucks during his canter. Any way, with any luck he will be out and about more next year and we will affiliate him even if it’s just for indoor BSJA for next winter. Will let you know how he gets on. Here are some pics from this year. Evelyn Little
Hi Maxine, Kayleigh here, was just letting you know how rocky (doc) is getting on. He had his first hunter trials last weekend and went clear in fantastic style, he loved every minute of it and he had his first dressage test last nite and got 51.36% (pretty good after he spooked down one side at the white boards and neighed pretty much the whole way through hehe). He really is a star to have, he's so willing and eager to please me the whole time and he definitely knows who his mummy his ( though he always did from the start) cuddling into me and neighing at me when i come round the corner. As you can see from the photos his fly bites have cleared up and hes put on muscle everywhere, he almost looks like a different horse. He's my dream come true (what a cliche) but he is and we have lots planned for him. Regards, Kayleigh and Rocky xxx
Hi Maxine, Joe is settling in fine, he has got quite a character already! We have discovered that he quite likes apple but he loves carrots (he nods his head whenever we give him one!) and he hasn't stopped eating since he arrived. Yesterday, we tried to give him a drink of water out of a bucket, he just picked it up and threw it on the ground! He also begins to yawn if we take too long brushing him out! He has been a great hit with our friends who came to visit him the other day and thought that he was lovely. We have also had quite a few passers by stopping to admire him. Look forward to hearing from you soon, from all the Whites.
Hi Maxine Im just writing to you because i wanted to tell you how well me and tommi are going ! We went to are first show last week . When we got there i thought the day was going to be a disaster But as i went to do my 1.6 class he flew round them and we got double clear rounds on 1.6 and 1.9 . We would of got a clear round in the 2.0 but there was a nasty last jump but i was so pleased with him that day ! I also came 4th in Condition & Turnout , 5th in Pony club Pony & 6th in handsomest gelding ( even though i think he should of come first ! ) Thank you ! Regards Jess n Tommi
hi im Dysons new owner natalie lindars, he is getting on fine and has settled in really well and has made lots of new friends. Ive had a couple of jumping lessons on him and he was brilliant. Hope Bingo and dotty is well. from natalie lindars
Hi, More good news, Harry and I won a dressage class at the weekend ! We won P7 and were then 2nd in P18 - although I claim moral victory for that too as we were only beaten by a horse that then went on to win the novice class as well. What can I say, he's ust gorgeous !!!! You must let me know when your next competing I'd love to come and cheer you on. You'll have to be strong and keep the next horse for yourself ! If I had a pound for every time someone commented on how lovely Harry is I'd be rich, I always make sure I let them know where I got him from. Take care Jo xx
Tilly Well done to Tilly's new owners who are doing exceptionally well, competing XC and coming 2nd in their first event and doing very well with their dressage.
Philosophers Stone (Harry) Harry and his new owner are doing so well he took part in their first dressage test and gained 65%! and also went clear XC in the pairs competition although Harry ended up leading the more experienced horse around the course and through the water, well done and I can see a successful future in front of them.	Ainsley's owner is getting on great with him they have their sights on eventing next year, he has a huge jump and his flat work is coming on well. Good luck for the future
