2014 Stud News & Photos

2014 – December
Pinturero P II at SICAB in Sevilla. Very exciting !

Great time at SICAB, with Emma and James (Esperanza Dressage) producing Harry to an impressively high standard. James was, without doubt, one of the very best handlers to be seen at the show the whole week – he has such a good rapport with the horses who are beautifully trained, and he has a great turn of speed too during the trot-up!
Although Harry’s results weren’t quite as good as we had secretly hoped (I had hoped we would get about midway in the class), he did beat 6 Spanish owned and produced horses and came 40/46 – the best result so far for any UK owned horse.

The rest of the foals have been born (see below) but I thought I would keep this announcement of Pinturero’s successes at the TOP for a while !!!

2014-07 25th to 27th BAPSH Ltd NATIONAL SHOW

MARYSS PRE STUD’s young bay stallion PINTURERO P II, better known as ‘Harry’, has had a fabulous weekend at the 2014 BAPSH Ltd National Show. On Friday he went equal 1st in his very first dressage test – Copa class 4-6yr olds, then 2nd overall by just 0.1marks behind 1st place in the Section 10 ANCCE class and with the Top Functionality test score for his class. Then on Saturday he was declared Reserve National Stallion CHAMPION for 2014 ANCCE affiliated classes – totally fabulous, and I thought nothing else could top this. But today Harry has just won the overall National Ridden CHAMPIONSHIP for PREs under highly esteemed judge Mercedes Gonzales Cort. Unbelievably wonderful. So happy and excited !!.  Many many thanks to Harry’s trainers and producers, Emma Thomas and James Smith of Esperanza Dressage, who developed Harry with care and attention over the past 9 months, and brought him to the show looking immaculate, and presented him in every class to perfection. Their expert care and handling brought this 17.0hh, 5year old stallion to the top, beating many other excellent PREs over the 3 days, to achieve his two Champion titles at this year’s show. It is many years since one of my horses went to the National show due to my other commitments so it means a huge amount to me to come back to compete at the show and have such amazing success. More photos to follow ASAP.

2014 – October and November
    

Maryss Trojan (5yrs old)has gone to a new home in North Somerset where he will have a very interesting life doing a variety of ridden activities.
Left:- Maryss Winona (2yrs old) has travelled further north to the Chester area to become, in due course, the second foundation brood mare for the Capearlla PRE Stud.

Maryss Xcelsia (1 yr old) has gone the farthest, all the way to Scotland to join Maryss Wachiman. I am looking forward to seeing Xcelsia and Wachiman growing up to become the riding horses of Lauri Riach and her daughter Shannon. Its great to see these lovely ladies so happy with their youngsters from the Maryss Stud.

The Yeo is a well known local Somerset river so this colt is named after the river and its valley (also famous for a certain brand of very nice yoghurt). Jandala is an excellent first time mother and taking great care of him. Yeoman has a strong resemblance to his father.
