Stanhopes Magician and Emma Steel

Christmas almost here!

As we approach Christmas fast things have finally slowed down this week with the horses.  Archie arrived back yesterday after his North Island stint with Vaughn Jefferis and Matt Gilmour.  Great experience for him and he ended on a great note coming 6th in a prenovice class at Puhinui.  He did a lovely dressage for 4th place, lovely clear xc, and then took the last rail in the show jumping.  It's great to have him home and I look forward to getting on him.

Johnny aka Stanhopes Johnny Magic went to his new home yesterday, sad for us to let him go but he has gone to the best home and I will see him a lot which makes it easier.  Johnny turned into a lovely safe guy to ride who moves really well and has a lovely show hunter style jump.  We wish Johnny all the best.

Marty has been collecting via AI at Astek stud and has become very quick at it!  All mares we have AI'ed this season have taken first pop so that is great news.  We are hoping to get some frozen taken shortly.

Our new foal, Elle aka Magic McPherson is another stunner, very leggy and athletic girl with a very bouncy trot.  She will be like her full sister Magic Moments and will be at least 16.2hh.

We wish everyone a fantastic Christmas and holiday break!
