Very happy for Dani Johnston and Koning Albert competing this weekend at the Winter Classic Show held at Arena UK. On Saturday in a class of 90, Albert and Dani produced a lovely double clear in the Blue Chip Karma. Fabulous for Dani as all 3 of her rides were in the top 15. On Sunday Albert and Dani produced yet another double clear and qualified ...
They say time is a great healer and we're sure that given more time we will become more comfortable with letting Bermudez BDA go to a new home, but it's still a hard choice and talking about it is only just becoming easier. Bermudez BDA (Billy) has been for us the most wonderful and really unique horse that anyone could have wished to own. His life...
Team Koning Sport Horses travelled to Ponderosa Stud, in Coventry at the weekend for the Breeders Elite Stallion Grading Day. First of all, vettings and xray submissions were done and accepted. Then, all the stallions were examined by a panel of judges and then walked and trotted up. The younger stallions went first and these were loose jumped in a...
We took Koning Albert for a quick round at Arena UK's Spooktacular show on the Sunday for a run around the National 1.30m/1.40m Open Handicap 🚀 We were all so pleased with him, he hasn't competed for a month and to come straight in at 1m30 was testament to his abilties and Dani Johnston's great riding. It was just a shame that the tradestand people...
Koning Albert really enjoyed his day at the Defender Burghley Horse Trials as one of only 10 stallions chosen to take part in the Stallion Parade. It was also lovely that all of Team Koning Sport Horses were present, with Dani Johnston piloting for the day, Ellie Roberts and Jill Williams assisting and Dave Williams in charge of filming and dog sit...
Extremely sad sale of a top winning horse whio hasn't yet reached his potential. Bermudez BDA has been a fantastic pony and then horse for us in the 5 years that we've owned him. Sired by Cevin Z, know for his fantastic athleticism, he is not just quick across the ground, but turns on a sixpence to a fence and is super careful. Competing currently ...
King Albert travelled all the way to Sussex to compete in the NexGen 5 year old Championships at the lovely All England Jumping Course at Hickstead.Ridden by Daisy Williams, "Berti" did a gorgeous clear over the 1m10 course. With many professional adult riders in the class, they had their work cut out, but we are proud to say the he was placed in t...
King Albert had a great weekend away. He contested another Newcomers class, doing very well and showing great maturity.He came 2nd in the Newcomers with a lovely Double clear🔝🏆He made a fab effort in the Discovery 2nd rounds but a baby mistake put him out of the placings.
Daisy had a wonderful time at Oktoberfest Senior BS jumping👏Bermudez BDA 🧡 and King Albert 🖤 were on great form🔝King Albert jumped his socks 🧦 off all weekend but sadly didn't get placed🚀in his classes.He felt amazing though and is learning his job so quickly 😇 and behaving impeccably.Gorgeous photos from emmpix.co.uk
Koning Albert and his 2 stable mates travelled to Harrogate for some junior and senior Showjumping.Koning Albert did some super rounds in the Newcomers and 1m15 Members Cup, coming 3rd and 2nd respectively. He will soon have a holiday as he's deserved one 🏖️
A first ever trip to the beach marks the start or Berti's holidays.Jill rode Berti as he is so calm and as she is nervous he is a great confidence giver, considering he is only 5 years old!He had great fun with his friend King III, went straight in the water, and was like an old pro!
Albert has started back in work and is looking stronger after his holiday. Despite COVID, we're still sticking to our plans of getting him fit and ready for the season ahead.He's such a good boy and has already been with Daisy to BDA Equestrian for a few lessons. Its so great to get going on him again.We can't wait to see what the year holds for hi...
Koning Albert has received all tests back for the 2021 season for CEM, EVA and EIA and all are negative.
We are so excited to announce that 247 Clothing Direct now have Daisy Williams as a supported rider. We have been buying all our embroidery and printing from them for a while and couldn't be happier with the results. Their service and attention to detail is second to none. We look forward to this opportunity to showcase their work.
Great day with Jemma, photographing all the horses. Shame the sun wasn't out to show Koning Alberts amazing shiny black coat off but you can't have everything! with Jemma Smith photography @Jemmaequine528.
Koning Albert got out for his first jumping lesson for a very long while. He's been keeping very fit in the field, playing up and down with his bestie 🧡 and going for nice hacks🖤He came out feeling suuuuuper today, despite being star struck with the new BDA bubba, Miss Moet and her dam🙄🐎🙈He felt the best he's ever done, let's hope it continues 👌
We couldn't be happier with the Koning Albert at his first competition of the season 🥰After a great tune up lesson with BDA Equestrian Daisy represented her school today in the 110 Hickstead Elite qualifier. Koning Albert 🖤 posted a lovely double clear to slip into 2nd place, just behind his field mate Bermudez BDA, qualifying for Hickste...
Daisy took Koning Albert Cross Country training at Winters Cross Country Course.He was an absolute star, taking everything in his stride. In his typical fashion, nothing bothered him and he enjoyed his day out.
Koning Albert competed in the Senior Discovery Second rounds at Willow banks EC. He was feeling very well and gave every jump plenty of room. He is really improving so much now every outing.
We had a wonderful 3 days in glorious sunshine at Houghton. We took all the horses and it was a great learning experience for Albert. There was a lot of distractions in the main ring and Albert took it all in his stride.He had a go in the gate jumping class and sadly just got caught out at the last. Then in the discovery he jumped a beautiful Doubl...
