Astrid Bolton Sport Horses
Day, Son and Hewitt held a masterclass with Astrid Bolton and Geoff Billington at Myerscough College, Friday 2nd November. It was an informative evening to explain the importance of using quality supplements to promote the well being of your horse (go to www.daysonhewitt.co.uk for the full range available). The evening started off with Astrid explaining the foundations of starting a young horse and a long-reining demonstration with their fantastic young stallion, Euphoria. Hayley then came into the arena and rode him, showing his amazing paces, whilst Astrid explained the importance of using Day, Son and Hewitts product SYNOFLEX, to ensure that your horses maintain their natural mobility. Next, Hayley brought in Cassius, a 17.3hh, young dressage talent, showing us various different paces and his extravagant movement and ability. Go to www.astridbolton.com to look for your next superstar. The second half consisted of Geoff and his two horses, starting with a youngster, only broken five months ago. He then rode a more experienced horse, explaining his training methods and exercises, with humour along the way. The evening was well attended and the audience participated by asking questions as well as one lady having a go at long-reigning Astrid’s young stallion, Euphoria. Day, Son and Hewitt had a well stocked stand, with Sue advising on all aspects of their beautifully packaged, high quality products.

Moorlands Totilas and his new rider Matthias Alexander Rath have had their first public outing together on the 6th Feb at Schockemohle Stallion Show in Germany, where 3000 spectators watched the duo perform. The pair next appear competitively in May with the aim to qualify for the European Championships in Rotterdam. Paul Schockemohle bought the stallion last October for an undisclosed sum, but according to the sellers, it was an offer that couldn’t be refused.
Totilas’s stud fees start at around £4500+VAT.
Racing was cancelled at Newbury racecourse on Saturday 12th February after 2 horses Fenix Two and Marching Song collapsed in the parade ring. It is speculated that the 2 horses were electrocuted by an old power line that has been accidentally severed and an investigation is under way. Kid Cassidy, trained by Nicky Henderson was withdrawn as it behaved oddly in the parade ring. None of the handlers were injured and the meeting will hopefully be re-scheduled for this coming week.
An 11 year old ex-racehorse thoroughbred foster mare called Candy has fostered a shire foal, named baby. The foal was born at the Cotebrook Shire Horse Centre, near Tarporley, Cheshire. Two days after the birth, the foal’s Dam died of a twisted gut. It was a worrying 3 weeks until a surrogate Mum was found, through the National Foaling Bank, to which the owner of the Shire Horse Centre, Mr Alistair King, is extremely grateful (see our link to this on equestrian associations at the top of the Home page). Mr King, who has bred shires for 40 years, has slept in his car for several nights so that he can keep a watchful eye over the mare and foal and says that the pair are now inseparable. Three other foals have been born at the centre over the last few weeks and visitors to the centre are being asked to think of names for the foals; fillies being named after Scottish Lochs and colts to be named after Scottish Mountains.
