What makes the Dressage Mastery system unique is the use of two training scales.

You may have heard of the German Training Scale. If you don’t know what the German Training Scale is, it is a very famous system used by European riders to train dressage horses.

What I have done is intertwine this scale with the Rider’s Success Scale that I have developed. The Rider’s Success Scale is based on what I believe riders need to learn, develop and master to be the riders they need to be to train their horse in the German Training Scale.

Dressage Mastery Academy is a revolutionary online training program that takes you step by step from basics The Ebony Park Friesian Magazine | April 2015 2 to Grand Prix in a fun and easy way!!

It’s April and that means... Easter and chocolate and eating too much chocolate and feeling sick from eating too much chocolate... or is that just me?

March was such a busy month, ending with Dressage with the Stars and great scores from Ebony Park Abe (Qualifying for the Grand Prix Kur on Saturday with 61.7% and Natasha 18 weeks pregnant!).

Dynamite Hit (Gretchen) also scored really well despite spooking a bit with the new surroundings and the big crowd (70.6% in round 1, and 4th with 73.8 in the consolation round!!).

On the same weekend, the Victorian Friesian Keuring was also on, where we took Jorrit and Dante on the Sunday. One of our foals, Tariq, was taken by his new owner also, and received 3rd Premie, missing out on 2nd Premie by half a mark!! congratulations guys!

So we have heaps of photos from both events to share with you in this months mag, as well as ‘the secret remedy’ from Tash, and an article on Foal Immunity from me!

We also have an Easter Special on our in utero payment plans for foals born in 2015 - check out pages 18-33 for more information on which mares are available!

We also have updated photos on the progress of our indoor arena (it’s still a hole in the ground... but it is a BIGGER hole in the ground than it was last month!).

Aqua Trainers - Do They Work?

Gradually, the aqua trainer is making headway in the equine world. Trainers and veterinarians alike are beginning to appreciate the benefits of this exceptional technique to facilitate movement without causing too much strain. There are numerous applications for the use of aqua training.

When the horse lifts its hind legs to bring them forward he must tilt the pelvis in an upwards direction. This causes an upward motion of the last lumbar vertebrae which leads to a wavelike motion along the length of the spine. If this wave can travel without inhibitions along the whole of the spine then this will create optimal conditions for movement of the horse´s forelegs.

If there is too much muscle tone in one of the muscle groups in this region of the back, then the horse will suffer

pain when it tries to stretch over the back. Horses suffering from back pain often struggle to develop a forward and down movement and usually develop stiff gaits.

Four factors The aqua trainer can be adjusted along four main criteria: water temperature, speed of the treadmill, height of the water and length of training. Increasing the height of the water brings about more pronounced rotation of the pelvis and flexion in the back.

Wi t h t h e s p e e d f a c t o r remaining the same, the resistant property of the water causes the horse to make larger strides compared to conditions without water.

Frequency and length of stride are found to decrease in relation to raised water levels.

The height of the water level influences the impact on the hoof during movement. The higher the water level, the ‘lighter’ the horse will seem and the smaller the impact on the hoof will be when it touches down on the treadmill.

This is a significant

benefit in the training of horses with orthopaedic problems when the horse should move with as little weight-bearing to the foot as possible. It is believed that the cool water temperature also suppresses inflammation processes and reduces swelling.

Power training Aqua training can also be regarded as a form of power training whereby exercise is effected under added resistance conditions. The speed of the treadmill and height of water levels must be checked and adjusted for each individual horse. The particular condition for which the horse needs treatment also partly determines the optimal speed and water levels. In short, the added value of aqua training is gaining more and more support. An elegant and promising technique.

DIARY DATES Natasha is having some time off the competition circuit while the indoor arena is being built and while she is pregnant!! We will be back competing in Ocbotber once she has safely delivered her baby!

5th April - Easter Sunday!

Note from Tash Hi Friesian Lovers!!!!!

HAPPY EASTER!!!! :):):) It is a very exciting time here at Ebony Park!

This is the only Easter I am ever going to be pregnant so I am expecting at least 20kg worth of chocolate! I hope the easter bunny aka Phil Kelley is taking notes!!! :) We had a very busy end to March with Dressage with the Stars and the Keuring. We are always a dressage performance stud first and a Friesian Stud second so unfortunately this meant due to our commitments with Dressage with the Stars we couldn't show our mares and foals at the Keuring and we were only able to go on the Sunday with two of our stallions - Jorrit and Dante.

During Dressage with the Stars, unfortunately the atmosphere got to our not yet 4yo warmblood mare in the 4yo class and she came 17th out of 36 horses. With a score over 70% she still qualified for the consolation final where she came 4th! So we are very proud of her and looking forward to next year in the 5y where she will be a lot stronger and settled with another year of riding under her belt.

Abe was a complete superstar doing a wonderful Grand Prix where we scored 61.7% and came 15th to qualify for the Kur on Sat night. Very unfortunately he slept funny in the concrete stables after the GP and came out for the Kur VERY Stiff and muscle sore and didn't want to even canter on his right side, let alone half pass pirouette or tempi change to the right.

5th April - Easter Sunday!

Note from Tash The fact that he tried so hard for me even though he was sore made me so grateful and in love with such a beautiful stallion with such a big heart. Being back home and back in the paddock a couple of days he is back to 100% normal and doing beautiful work again. Alas this is horses and a lovely learning experience in horse management with a CDI requirement where the horse is stabled full time for 3 days of competition... so many more walks and coming out of the stable needing to be scheduled in for him next time.

At the Keuring Dante was a little behind the leg as I hadn’t have time to work him since the Tuesday before (nearly a week!). He performed well but not what the judges want to see so no matter. At the end of the day he is still a 5yo Friesian Stallion performing and winning Medium and we look forward to him being awarded the sports predicate for his outstanding results in the dressage arena, even if they didn't think he would be a good dressage horse.

Ebony Park would like to give a huge congratulations to Maggie Park who took her foal Tariq and our mare Illusion to the Keuring without any prior knowledge and without our support as we couldn't be in two places at the same time. She did so well and we are so proud of you. Also to Charlotte Bishop on the super comments on her 18 month old colt Diallo (by Jorrit).

I am now 19 weeks pregnant and looking forward to the 21 week scan where I find out the sex and all is good with the little one. All the horses will be staying in work and we will be working on improving their strength and suppleness so they are ready to rock the competitions come October when I can fit into my competition clothes again!

I trust all is well with you and you have a wonderful Easter. If you are thinking that owning a Friesian might be for you - there is no better time to get one, as this month we are having a huge sale of $7,497 worth of dressage training for your horse for FREE when you go ahead with investing in a 2015 Ebony Park foal! Call Kate on 0422 227 364 if you want to have a chat about how owning a friesian can be easier than you think :) Until next month enjoy your horses and riding!!!!

To your success,

Kind Kate’s Knowledge | Foal Immunity Kate Langdon has always had a passion for horses. Through a roundabout route including a desire to study veterinary science, but ending up with a Bachelor of Science (Zoology) and a Bachelor of Equine Studies, as well as studying at CSU in Colorado in reproduction, AI and foaling, she has now been at Ebony Park Performance Friesians as a breeding and nutrition specialist and stud manager for 5 years.

Now that the foaling season has come to an end for another year...

I thought I would have a chat about foal immunity, as I have had a number of questions regarding foal vaccinations and why we give them when we do, why not earlier/later etc...

So this month, I am going to talk about foal immunity where do they get it from, what happens if they don’t have any, and what tests you can do to make sure you foal’s immune system is functioning the way that it should!

The failure of adequate passive transfer of antibodies can

Therefore it is important to know what to look for and how to manage foals found to be lacking in these essential antibodies. Before this management plan can be implemented, it is essential to know the processes going on within the foal, why they go wrong and the different options for diagnosis and treatment.

The equine placenta is diffuse or epitheliochorial (a big word, I know!!) in nature (See figure).

This is the least invasive form of placentation in mammals, because full penetration and erosion of the uterine epithelium

Kind Kate’s Knowledge | Foal Immunity Basically what this means is that foals are not born with any immunity to anything!

Foals will start producing their own antibodies as soon as they are exposed to pathogens, but these are not in effective concentrations until they are around four months old. In the meantime the neonatal foal acquires antibodies passively in the first few hours of life via colostrum from the dam.

does not take place which is what is does in humans.

However, this design of placentation causes the foetal and maternal circulations to be quite separate from each other, and prevents the large immunoglobulin proteins from diffusing between circulations during gestation.

The process of colostral antibody uptake in the neonatal gut during the first few hours of life is a complex mechanism (See Figure) involving specialised enterocytes in the mucosa of the small intestine. These specialised cells engulf immunoglobulins, and transfer them through the gut wall and into the bloodstream via the lymphatics.

More mature cells without this capacity replace the original enterocytes within 12-24 hours after birth, and any colostral antibodies and other large proteins are digested and broken down in the small intestine (and destroyed) rather than absorbed

unharmed into the bloodstream. That’s why it is so so sooooo important that a newborn foal drinks as much colostrum (the first milk of the mother) as possible within the first 12 hours after birth - this maximises the chances of the foal being healthy and having good immunity for the first couple of months of life, before it’s own immune system kicks in!

Causes of Failure of Passive Transfer The level of immunoglobulin present in the foal's bloodstream as a result of colostrum ingestion considered protective will depend on controllable factors such as foaling environment and broodmare management, coupled with uncontrollable factors such as illness and genetics. The causes of FPT can be split into two broad categories: those resulting from maternal, and those resulting from foal factors.

Maternal Factors There are a number of maternal factors that must be considered when looking at FPT in newborn foals.

Premature lactation, which can

Kind Kate’s Knowledge | Foal Immunity foals early and in some cases the mare will fail to produce normal colostrum.

occur during unnaturally long gestation or delayed parturition, occurs where colostrum leaks from the udder via the teats prior to foaling, and is identified by colostrum coating the inside of the mares hind legs (See Figure). This is detrimental to foal colostral antibody uptake, as there are high immunoglobulin levels (IgG and IgM) in this pre-formed colostrum. These levels tend to drop dramatically before 18 hours of lactation has passed and leakage reduces the total amount of colostrum available to the foal.

Mares with placentitis and other foeto-placental abnormalities tend to deliver

Mastitis or other udder damage also causes the mare to produce less colostrum and hence reduces the availability of passively transferred antibodies to her foal. In some cases, the mare may be producing high quality colostrum with adequate levels of immunoglobulins, but may not have been on that property for very long, and hence has not had the chance for exposure to the same environmental pathogens that the foal will be. The mare will therefore be producing the 'wrong' antibodies in her colostrum that may not be protective to the foal in that environment. Poor quality colostrum with low levels of antibodies is also often seen in older mares.

Complete rejection of the foal by the mare, or nervous behaviour preventing the foal from nursing occasionally seen in stressed and maiden mares, means the foal does not have a chance to ingest enough colostrum to be at effective levels of immunity, often leading to FPT.

Foal Factors In addition to the mare derived causes, there are also a number of factors surrounding the foal that lead to FPT. These may include prematurity (See Figure below), where among other problems, the foal may not have a entirely developed gastrointestinal tract and hence not be able to fully utilise the antibodies contained in the colostrum.

Ingestion failure of colostrum by the foal includes anything that prevents the foal's ability to suckle such as weakness from sepsis, dummy foals with behavioural abnormalities or orthopaedic problems such as contracted tendons preventing the foal from moving around on its legs effectively.

Sick or stressed foals not only have reduced appetites leading to a delay in the ingestion of colostrum, they also tend to have a decreased capacity to absorb the antibodies through their gut wall. Another reason for low immunoglobulin levels in neonatal foal circulation is absorption failure caused by premature gut closure or congenital

Kind Kate’s Knowledge | Foal Immunity defects of the enterocytes in the small intestine.

Diagnosis and Treatment Detection of low concentrations of antibodies (IgG testing) in the foal's serum within 24 hours of parturition allow for diagnosis of FPT. A blood sample should be taken from the foal within 18-24 hours after birth to measure the serum immunoglobulin levels of the foal. If the levels are checked before 12 hours, colostrum or plasma can still be given orally, but the later the test is taken, the fewer treatment options are available... so if you are concerned, make sure you get onto it really fast!!

immunodiffusion test (RID). This test is very accurate but requires a lab to analyse the blood sample (24 hours), so is usually only used to confirm FPT (if you think that your foals immune system might be compromised).

There are other tests available that are easy and quick to use such as the zinc sulphate turbidity test and the ELISA methods described below.

The general consensus is that a blood sample which contains IgG levels greater than 8g/L indicates adequate levels of antibody transfer, whereas IgG concentrations below this indicate a partial (4-8g/L) or complete (<4g/L) failure of passive antibody transfer.

The zinc sulphate turbidity test is rapid, technically simple and takes only 5 minutes for a result. This test involves a chemical reaction between zinc sulphate and the s amp le - th e d eg r ee o f turbidity in the solution which develops is directly proportional to the amount of IgG in the test serum. The greater the IgG level, the less light is able to be transmitted through the sample (See Figure).

There are a number of tests that can be undertaken to diagnose and hence treat FPT as soon as possible in these vulnerable foals, but the gold standard is called a radial

Another commonly used test for serum IgG levels in neonatal foals is the ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) test.

This test involves anti-IgG

antibodies added to blood samples and an enzymatic reaction taking place. The absorbance of the sample is then taken (See Figure) after around 10 minutes, and generally the darker the result, the higher the IgG levels.

Treatment involves providing the foal with adequate immunoglobulins to prevent the onset of disease. The success of treatment depends not only on the speed of FPT diagnosis, but also the age of the foal, how low the IgG levels are, as well as the conditions to which the foal has been exposed, and perhaps the treatments available on hand.

Oral colostrum from a frozen colostrum bank is the easiest method, but needs to be administered to the foal via a bottle or bucket within 12 hours of parturition to ensure

There are oral colostrum substitutes available but they have variable immunoglobulin levels and may not protect the

Intravenous plasma transfusion (See Figure) is an effective way to reduce the incidence of disease in foals with FPT by improving circulating IgG levels and hence immunity.

This method is necessary after the foal is 12 hours of age as gut closure to antibodies will probably have occurred.

Commercial plasma such as Plasvacc can be used but again may not protect the foal against local bugs.

Alternatively a horse on the property can be bled and plasma extracted and administered to the foal, allowing the foal to theoretically obtain enough immunity from local bugs to prevent disease.

Plasma is an easy method to use, but always carries a risk of a protein reaction by the foal - serum can also be used without this unwanted side effect.

With any of these methods it is important to monitor the foal's serum IgG levels after

administration to ensure levels are high enough to provide the foal with adequate immunity.

Foals with FPT often need high intensity care as the risk of disease in these young animals is very high.

Monitoring of condition, temperature and general demeanor can be the difference between life and death or severe sickness for some of these foals. Therefore it is essential to ensure through effective education and management that adequate levels are obtained as quickly as possible to ensure these otherwise vulnerable foals are protected from disease!! The quicker you are onto it, the easier it is to make sure your foal stays happy and healthy! :) If you have any questions about foal immunity, or if you would like to ask a question that I can answer in a future article, make sure you email me at info@ebonyparkstud.com.au To Your Dreams Becoming Reality,

Who is ready for the opportunity of a lifetime?

Feel free to share this publication with your friends, family, club... anyone who might find its content useful.

Ebony Park is changing and evolving!!!! Our brand new dressage complex including 25 stables and mirrored indoor arena will be ready in July and we need to be ready to serve our superstar clients!!!!

Ebony Park is a Friesian and Warmblood horse stud with over 50 horses. We breed, train and ride Friesians and Warmbloods to Grand Prix level.

This means an exciting opportunity exists for two energetic, motivated, driven dressage riders who want a riding career with horses, including riding at Grand Prix level.

If you are a dedicated, committed dressage rider with a goal of riding Grand Prix and beyond then we are looking for you!

Currently we have a purebred Friesian stallion ready to compete Medium and another talented purebred mare ready to compete Preliminary. There is also a young purebred Friesian stallion and two crossbred friesians due to be broken in at the end of the year.

We are looking for someone very hard working, committed and dedicated to doing what it takes to improve daily, and become the best version of them that they can be. You will be pushed in your role and in your riding to give your best every single day.

You must also be capable to give lessons up to novice/ elementary standard on our two schoolmasters.

You will be trained in your riding, training and in management to step up and increase your skills on the job.

You must be friendly, like people, like working as a team as well as alone, and committed to making Ebony Park the best working environment and best business that it can possibly be.

We are not looking for people to ‘try’ and see if horses are what they want to do. We want people who have proven they understand that they know what it takes to get results with horses, and are dedicated to improving themselves and their riding. This is not a short-term position – we are looking for someone who is dedicated to taking our horses to Grand Prix, and as such we are looking for a 5 year commitment.

We believe the skills are important but can be taught. The biggest thing we are looking for is a person with a dream to ride Grand Prix, and a complete desire, resolution and determination to seeing that dream come true. If that’s you as well as being willing to work hard, add value and be a part of a special team where as you make your dreams come true, you also help our dreams and our clients dreams come true, then we would love to hear from you.

Email your CV and a YouTube link of your riding with a cover letter answering the following questions to info@ebonyparkstud.com.au. We will be in touch to organise an interview which will include a test ride.

Tash’s Training Tip | The Secret Remedy this means!

You know when someone asks you to do something, or you know you have to do something and you say the words .... “I’ll do it as soon as I get around to it!”

Well here is your round TUIT you have been looking for!!!

Ok! This month!

For anyone who wants • More time • Increased productivity • Better results • Goals reached • STOP procrastination once and for all...

Here is the ‘secret’ remedy!

Take the picture below, cut it out and put it in your wallet!!!

Don’t ask why! Just do it!!!!

Ok, now you have done that!

Phew! I hope you know what

You finally have one and now you will have no trouble getting all those things done!!! :) Ok, a bit silly! But IS IT?!?!?!

Is it silly to put our dreams in a corner and say I’ll do it later, I’ll get to it someday, I’ll do it when I get a round to it!

Let me tell you something that language DRAINS your energy! It keeps you stuck doing NOTHING, it gives you an excuse rather than taking responsibility that you haven’t done it yet!

I get so angry at my husband if he uses the word “should” at me! Grrr!!!!! SHOULD! No!!!

To quote Yoda “Do or do not there is no try” - EXACTLY!!!

There is no try, should, can’t, could, possibly, maybe, or any other of those pathetic, noncommittal, energy draining hopeless words!!!!!

There is WILL, CAN, MUST,

words of power, commitment and strength.

While we are talking about ‘talking’ - the other thing I see people do that holds them back and keeps them stuck, is ... ‘talking’ about what they are going to do.

The “I’m gunna’s” of the world!

Ahhhhh! Worse if you say ‘should’ than if you say ‘I’m going to’!!!!!!!!!!!!

My response is always the same - Don’t tell me - show me!

So if a client says I’m going to start exercising - I say oh no!

Don’t talk about exercising start exercising! So the rest of the session is us walking around the farm!

Don’t talk about learning French - call up, book in your class, and tell me when your first class is!

Don’t talk about riding your horse - talk about how good your ride was!

Don’t talk about entering your first competition - talk about how excited you are now you have entered your first competition!

I don’t ‘do’ future tense! I do present tense!

Tash’s Training Tip | The Secret Remedy

Now I know you will say “But we have to say what we want”! I tell everyone I am going to the Olympics 2020!

Well that’s ‘talk’ - I’m not doing it!

But I am taking actions towards it, I am riding, I am competing, and I have planned every year leading up to 2020, so my entire life is already taking the actions I need to take to get there.

I do like to say instead though - “I am a 2020 Olympic Gold medalist”. Yeah you call me weird ... that’s ok! :) People use the escape ‘when I get around to it’ because when they think of the goal they see all the obstacles in their way.

Let’s say you have a desire to compete advanced. You have had this desire for years, but you see all the ‘obstacles’ - “I don’t have enough time”, “I don’t have a float”, “I don’t

have a good enough horse”... so you file it away and hope you will get there ... on that fabulous day called ‘someday’.

Just compare:

Instead ... take ACTION! Knowledge is power!

I could compete advanced... I can easily compete advanced

Firstly, get the advanced dressage tests and look through them - what movements do they have which movements can you already do?

Or are you a ‘duck’ person!?

I remember when I was Grade 4 looking at a GP test - going!

Yay!!! I can enter at A and salute! I’m almost there!

And guess what ... there is walk across the diagonal in there ... I know all of you can do that too!!!!!

We are almost there!

Do you see by taking action it suddenly begins to look easier!

I bet you didn’t know that all of you could do parts of the Grand Prix test!

I love language - how we language our world is how we experience it. I love the word MUST! That word just turns me on and presses all the right buttons!!! What is your ‘word’?

I should ride... I must ride I might exercise today... I will exercise today

You know you need all the ducks lined up PERFECTLY before you will take action “I’m waiting for this” or “have to wait until I get that”, blah blah.

There is never a perfect time, never the right time, never a time where you won’t hit unexpected detours, disappointments and criticisms - all you find is an excuse for not starting.

Here’s to your success at someday arriving, getting around to it and HAVING all your dreams coming true!!

Remember if there is anything you want me to cover in these articles email info@yourridingsuccess.com - I am here to help!

She has had one foal so far by Ebony Park Jorrit, and he impressed us so much that she is back in foal to him again :) This foal will be retained by the stud.

Ebony Park Rockstar of the Month Rhett & Lauren with Hercules & Krixus Hi Ebony Park Team! :) We've just come back from the peninsula after a couple of days intensive riding.

The boys have done a lot of work in the indoor and done their first two trail rides out.

We took them down to Gunnamatta beach and after getting their share of oooo's and ahhhh's from the people we passed on the formal trail ride (though in fairness there were just as many directed at our friend's 6yr old girl cantering along with us) we got them on their first romp on the sand complete with howling wind and roaring waves.

I'm afraid we were bashing about and having too much fun to get many photos but it was just fantastic.

We swapped horses for the ride so it's Hercules being the perfect dressage boy and dropping his head with me.

We were laughing at him prancing along like it was a scored activity.

Just having a ball with them and so impressed with how well they take all these new things in their stride.

We just adore them, dear snuggly applemunching creatures. Can't wait to get them out on their next adventure.

Thanks again for breeding two such lovely horses!

Lauren & Rhett

Tash's Training Tip: Reframe what learning and not ‘getting’ it means to you!

Reality is not good or bad, it simply ‘is’ until we assign the meaning of good or bad to it. So when you are learning and mastering new skills people can sometimes assign funny meanings to it like - it’s hard, it takes so long, it’s frustrating, it’s no fun or it’s awful.

The learning has to take place anyway so why not assign good meanings to learning?

I love learning new things, I love being out of my comfort zone, I love not knowing how to do all the steps but giving it a go anyway, I love learning in implementation, learning is quick and easy, learning is a fantastic growing and fabulous experience!

5 Minutes with Natasha Althoff 1.What is your favourite thing to do?

If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not spending time with my beautiful family? Ride Abe! 2. What about if you are not riding?

Ok might sound unusual to some, but I love to shut myself in my room and dream and plan about the life I want to create, and check that I am on track to creating that - playing with my diary phil calls it! :) 3. What do you love about riding?

I love the challenge! Riding is the ultimate self development program! It teaches me patience, open mindedness, uncertainty, playfulness, commitment to perfection, high standards, belief in self, confidence, trust, love, quick thinking, behavioural flexibility. It really is the easiest thing to understand logically, and one of the most challenging things to do unconsciously!

4. Are you a cat or dog person?

I have both, but I love my cats!

5. What are three things you look for in a dressage horse?

1. Temperament - he must want to do it easily and effortlessly -he has to always want to try for me 2. Movement - extravagant ground-covering, expressive, awe inspiring, big swinging, easy to sit to movement would be nice 3. If I have those two I am happy ... Then big black and beautiful is a bonus! :) 6. What is guaranteed to make you smile?

Pretty much anything! A good training session, a piece of chocolate, great news from a client, semen in the face from breeding - thanks Kate! :) 7. What is guaranteed to make you angry?

People who wont take responsibility for their results or non-results. People who blame, criticise, shoot down or complain.

8. What is the biggest thing you have learnt in your life that has made the most difference?

That you create your reality. So if you don't like something change your focus and change your life.

BIO I started riding when I was 14 years old. I thought I wanted to be an Olympic eventer but once I saw how big the jumps were I decided dressage was for me! In 2005 I went to hang out with Friesian Grand Prix rider Sabine Schut-Kery and from there made the decision to start Ebony Park. We imported 3 Friesians the first time - 2 stallions and a mare, and then a year later 4 more. (another stallion and three more mares). The decision was made a year later to import another mare. In that time I also took my first dressage horse - a Friesian x TB to Inter II and now have our stallion Abe at Grand Prix in dressage. I love training and riding the Friesians and I look forward to when they are all FEI!!! :)

STATS Favourite Food: Nachos with guacamole sour cream and hot hot salsa and cold rock ice cream desert!

Favourite Colour: Gold ... is that a colour? Otherwise purple Height: 171cm DOB: 07/08/81 Favourite Movie: Anything with Hugh Grant especially â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love Actuallyâ&#x20AC;?

Ebony Park Performance Complex!

It has been a long time in the planning but FINALLY we are moving forwards with this project!!!

The Ebony Park Performance Complex is a custom built mirror lined indoor with 25 stables, hot wash, solarium, tack room, feed room, breeding AI area all undercover with a beautiful office and viewing area at the front.

It has been designed to keep the Ebony Park Performance Horses in luxury condition and give us a focussed, dedicated environment to train and improve dressage performance.

For now it isn't that impressive - just a hole and a lot of dirt but we look forward bringing you the progress pictures as they unfold!

The hole is getting deeper and the mounds are getting higher!!
