| Pinocchio home... | ||||
Pinocchio is now back
home having been away at stud learning all about dummy mares, AI
collection etc. His semen has been test frozen and the quality
is excellent. He is now enjoying some timeout in the field with
his best friend Yofi (our bay gelding). The plan is to restart
Pinocchio under saddle in a month or so. |

| KNN grading Baunehøj 26th and 27th August 2006 | ||||
Another
thoroughly enjoyable trip to Denmark! The grading this time was
mainly an assessment
of young stallions for their annual licences with a
few mares and foals presented as well. The champion stallion was
Bjørnhøjgårds Sleipner a quality horse with good movement and
excellent jumping technique. A selection of photographs we took
can be viewed
here. There should
be full
results and more
pictures available on the KNN
site. |

| KNN grading Vilhelmsborg 12th August 2006 | ||||
We travelled again to the KNN grading in Denmark which was, as usual, a fantastic day. It presents an opportunity to see many Knabstruppers of different breeding in one place. We would recommend anyone with an interest in Knabstruppers to try and attend these events. To see some pictures that we took on the day click here. Unfortunately it was raining so hard at times that we were unable to photograph every horse so it is only a small selection. Please remember that these are only snaps so may not always show the horses at their best! We also took short videos of most of the horses indoors and if you are interested to see them please contact us. There will be full results and pictures posted on the KNN site. |

| Pinocchio is now graded with Scottish Sports Horse | ||||
Pinocchio Middelsom, our Knabstrupper stallion, was graded with Scottish Sports Horses on April 8th. He showed again his excellent talent for jumping and received good marks / comments for his technique. Pictures and more information can be seen on the stallions page. At the 2005 UK KNN grading he had the highest score for loose jumping amongst the four stallions presented. |

 Another
two Knabstruppers for the UK ...Mrs L Knowles & her daughter Claire have recently imported the leopard spotted Knabstrupper stallion Stavsdals Jackpot (by Stavsdals Lobi), pictured left, and his son Rughavens Jackpot. Stavsdals Jackpot is also the sire of Sheik who is featured on our News 2005 page. Stavsdals Jackpot began his competitive career, ridden by dressage trainer Claire Knowles, with a score of over 78% to win his Novice Freestyle class, qualifying for the Regional finals. Claire has also been placed 1st & 2nd in two Novice classes with him. Jackpot has also fitted in some showjumping with a double clear in the Chiltern & Thames open qualifier, coming third, just missing championship qualification by 0.5 seconds. Rughavens Jackpot is currently being backed by Claire & it is planned he too will be out competing this year. |
