New horses on: Updated 1st August | 2006 National Breed Show www.bapshweb.co.uk The breed show happens to fall on the same date as a close friend's wedding, so this year I have had to make a tough decision between business and pleasure, even tougher for me because my business is my passion. A work/life balance is a challenge to achieve with so many frequent trips to Spain, so I have decided to redress the balance and go to the wedding. I would like to wish all our clients who will be showing at the show, the very best of luck and a very enjoyable weekend to all of you who will go to spectate. I thoroughly encourage anyone considering buying a Spanish horse to go to the show, not only to see the variety of Spanish types, but also to see the versatility and fun these horses offer for pleasure and competition.
Next Viewing Trip: 10 - 14 August I will be going to the North of Spain next week and have some availability for viewing left. Last minute day or overnight return flights can be found to Barcelona or Girona from most regional airports. If you would like to know which horses are available for viewing in this region and would like to book a visit, please contact me and I will arrange all the details for you. |

Linda Harper, Dressage trainer and judge says of her recently imported magnificient young stallion (see left) bred and schooled by the Yeguada Velasco Stud:
"I was looking for a taller spanish horse with very good paces and straight movement suitable for competitive dressage. I couldn't be happier with Cupido. He is lovely to ride, very comfortable and willing, I don't want to get off. I have to remember he is young, if he wasn't 3.1/2 yrs I would do a novice test on him tomorrow. The stud did a super job bringing him on correctly, I was impressed with the "setup". I will continue the good work and keep him going gently untill he is a little older.
Many thanks Sophie, for all your help. Everything seemed to work out so well, I kind of feel it was meant to be."
Not only do our clients recognise the high quality of horses sourced by us, but it has come to our attention that our competitors have noticed too and have contacted some of the breeders we work with to try to offer the same horses. We consider this a great compliment and despite their efforts, we remain the sole UK agent for Yeguada Velasco, a modern breeder breeding a very much sought after and often hard to find type of Spanish horse with classical looks, ancient bloodlines and modern movement. We consider this priviledged position a tribute to the good relationships we have established with breeders in Spain.
