+ HDE Summer Update (05/06/2010 - 09:29:32)
We have had a very busy couple of months here at Petwick Stables, both livery-wise and competing.
Edward and Sven started thier season well with 3rd place in an Advanced and 7th in a PSG. Their next few outtings include Wellington Premier League and Hartpury CDI.
Morris flew through his first Intermediate with Ali, finishing 11th overall and is now aimed at the BE Champs in August.
We both have more rides in the pipeline and are working hard to get them ready for affiliated competition later on in the year.
We are now almost fully booked for summer training liveries, so if you would like holiday/training livery over the summer please get in touch ASAP to reserve your space. Similarly with lessons we are getting booked up a couple of weeks in advance, and with Riding Club and Pony Club Camps around the corner we are pretty flat out, so the earlier you can call/text us about a lesson the better!
We will also be announcing more training clinic dates shortly including further 'Racehorse to Riding Star' days.
Clients of ours are always looking for horses, and we also know of many horses for sale (usually before they are advertised) so if you are looking for a horse, or are selling please get in touch to see if we can help!

Welcome to our new blog - here we will keep you up to date on all the goings on at Hurston Dressage and Eventing (HDE) and list horses and other equestrian items for sale (a small admin fee - £1.00 per item - applies). To list an item simply go to our Online Shop and follow the instructions.
First of all we would like to say a huge WELL DONE to one of our most loyal livery clients, Emma Corless, who, with her horse Fitling's Essence of Honey (Esso) achieved a wonderful score at Advanced Medium last week. This is the product of very hard work and perseverence over the last 18 months. A fantastic result.
Here at Petwick Stables, we have been amazingly busy since the snow finally melted, teaching, riding, training and competing. Our horses all look incredible and are fighting fit coming out of the winter.
Our clinics have proven to be extremely popular and get booked up very quickly, so if you want to take advantage of discounted lessons with Edward please see our calendar page for dates. The next one is Sundy 21st March.
Unfortunately we had a (small!) disaster on our way down to Kingston Maurward Advanced Medium Open Regionals, meaning that Edward and Sven could not compete. However, thankfully both horse and rider are fine. Sven is going better an ever and they are aiming at Inter I later on this year.
Morris, Ali's eventer, is now more than ready to go Intermediate this year, but first has two Novice Regional Finals to complete and hopefully qualify for the Festival of British Eventing. Fingers crossed!
We have had quite a few horses in and out for training livery, and are currently taking bookings for mid May onwards. At the moment we have a little ex racehorse in (Snoopy!) who is making fine progress with his re-training. Watch this space for pictures and further updates. Please call us if you would like to book your horse in.
That's all for now, but check back for regular updates!
