AS A 4 YEAR OLD, BUGSY

Summer 2011. Bugsy
BUGSY won at the WP&CS medal for the 2nd year running, she won the 4yo and over in hand. She has since started to compete under saddle. She has competed in both dressage and showing. Her first dressage we did an Intro to get her used to the school and white boards before going onto do the prelim. She went very well with promising comment and finished off 2nd. Her next outing was her first time under saddle and to be ridden on grass, shown by Rebecca Davies where she won the ridden Part Bred Arab.  Ridden by Rebecca she also represented the Riding club in the dressage team along with myself on BUGSYS father BART, in which we were 5th a great result considering that due to the 4th member having to withdraw there were only 3 of us and this been BUGSY 1st test outside,  and with the added excitement of it being  busy with quite a few arenas in a fairly close area. She behaved really sensibly and we were really pleased with her. 

I've started to take her to Show jumping, she is jumping confidently willingly and happily round small courses of about 70 to 80 cm of 8 to 10 fences including skinny's, planks, doubles and related distances.  She is careful and with a good technique and very sensible. When I start them off jumping im aiming to produce them with the future in mind. Im not interested in rosettes or placings. 

I like to educate them and produce them for the long term and future as well as I can.  I will aim to take them for clear round jumping at a quite time or hire a course.  If they need to be bought back to walk between fences, or turn a circle to re present for a fence I can, I'm aiming for them to jump straight, from a nice rhythm, to jump clean with a nice shape etc and generally be obedient and enjoy it.  I don't feel they need to prove them selves over height as having watched most of them have fun over 1m loose jumping and watching their dad play over 1m20 loose (not as brave as i was, would have jumped it on him a few years ago, i am now a self confirmed wimp!). With ability not an issue we keep the fences small so that they can learn to sort them selves out without relying on me to place them, I like them to think for themselves. we will do a couple of rounds and maybe a small class which im still using to train in rather than  going flat out or yanking them them round corners and un balancing and encouraging them to jump flat, chasing rosettes and placing.  We like them to come home  having enjoyed at and feeling special. 
 
With all this has been established they should have no problem achieving great results at a good level for a long time, although its nice to get placed first time out i rather take my time for a long term investment of hopefully long term soundness and good career at a good level with the horses enjoying it all been well.    

Spring  2011

She had been backed and is riding out nicely, a genuine ride who I find safe to get on after weeks without work, she's like her farther I just tack up and go.  I don't find the need to lunge before hand we just toddle off and enjoy our ride.  We have always found her happy to go out on her own or in company, in front or behind, always been very safe and sensible no matter how much time she's had off, been sensible in traffic and on bridle ways, doing gates, getting on and off her etc. She has also had different riders on with no trouble at all.

As a 3year old, BUGSY:

Was lightly shown with great success, including 1st & Res Young Stock Champ, Ceredigion WP&CS Medal Show June 2010. 1st & Champion Welsh Part Bred, Tivyside Agriculture Show, July 2010, 1st & Champion  Part Bred Arab, Tivyside Agriculture Show, July 2010. 2nd Pembrokeshire County WPB. 

 

November 2010

Bugsy is being regularly worked, she's generally in a happy mouth snaffle and lunges and long reins in both side reins and  a chambon.  She will work happily in long reins both on a circle and from behind and listens well to your voice.  She's regularly led round our county lanes both in company and on her own seeing various forms of traffic. Ive worked her with a saddle on and have had bags & bottles of various rattling and banging degrees tied to the saddle.  She had not been bothered by anything.  I've stood on a mounting block above her and lent over her nosily banging away all over her, jumped up & down by her side, Ive put my foot in her stirrup and got up and lent over her and again she's not fazed, (I've being doing all this on my own with my toddler playing in the yard with his noisy toy's and the cat twirling round her legs, really good health & safety!). 
She stood and enjoyed being given a blanket clip, although she drew the line at the big clippers doing her head. She's also had a pair of front shoes put on and was very sensible.

Meet the parents

Sire:
BLAENLLAIN DOODLEBA (BART)  is our own homebred stallion, he has had many wins & championships in showing both under saddle and in hand.  He won the Welsh pony & cob Medal as a foal at the Welsh Pony & Cob International Centenary Show, he won a WP& C performance medal first time shown under saddle as a 4yo. Ive also competed BART in dressage being 3rd first time out and show jumping being regularly placed & jumping double clears.  BART is also currently ridden by the Owner of Cel Aeron Equestrian Centre, Kelly Webb.  They are successfully competing at affiliated dressage scoring very well and been given praise from the judges. I am also aiming to  continue competing him in Show jumping.  BART is out of our own very successful show & competition mare BLAENLLAIN DOODLEBERRY (Hopefully to be put forward for grading) who was by the TB stallion Old Lucky who also sired Mary Kings  top class eventer King Solomon III.  
BART'S progeny are doing very well in the show ring winning and taking Supremes and Championships at county level  in WPB, SHP & PBA. His first crop of foals were born in 2007 and are due out under saddle for the 2011 season. They all seem to have inherited his excellent qualities including the lovely temperament, looks,  jump & trainability.
IT IS OUR AIM TO WORK BART TOWARDS GRADING WITH A RECOGNISED SOCIETY TO PROVE HIS EXCELLENT TEMPERAMENT, ABILITY, VERSATILITY, TRAINABILITY AND SOUNDNESS.  

Dam:  BLAENLLAIN ZETA'S DREAM (hopefully to be put forward for grading). ZETA is our own homebred 15hh pink papered warm blood bay mare, ZETA is out of Neat & Trim  who was a TB mare who raced before retiring to the show ring.  We have shown ZETA with great success in SHP youngstock and more recently SHP  brood mare with a foal at foot. ZETA is by the Swedish Warm blood stallion Zidjian ( he has had progeny that were on the market for offers in excess of £20,000 H&H March 2001) Zidjian was from the best Swedish bloodlines his G.Sire Optimist was a Grade A Stallion who proved himself in Show jumping & Dressage, Zidjians sire Besk also proved himself in show jumping & dressage while his dam Grace has proven ability in show jumping. Zidjian was graded and gained the title of reserve Champion in 1994 by the British Warm Blood Society He was given praise for his jumping technique and was awarded exceptionally high marks for his conformation.

Our opinion Combining these competition lines with BART'S showing and competition lines I feel that this youngster should have the potential to be a top class WPB/PBA/SHP/WHP/SPORTS/COMPETITION/DRESSAGE pony with the temperament to be a genuine R.C/P.C family all rounder.
