News & Events

We are very pleased to hear from Steph Croxford that Mr P is doing very well and feeling on form! "He is heading in the right direction," she tells us. "He has actually been quite naughty recently which is always a good sign! He is also feeling very important again as Horse & Hound are running a piece on him in a forthcoming issue! I have been aiming for Myerscough Premier League but I am not sure he will be totally ready and I don't see the point in rushing him, so we will see!"

Geoff Billington is ready and prepared for the 2012 season to kick off and has some talented horses to watch out for! "We did our first show of the year on Sunday at Southview where Apollo Star won the 1.20m and Upper Cut was third, we just wanted to take them out for a little outing to get them back in to the swing of things," Geoff tells us.

As we caught up with Steph she was fending off the storms with trees down in her neighbour’s fields, the roof of the children's play house in tatters and gates hanging off in between fields, however in her usual positive attitude she was happy because the roofs of the field shelters were still in tact!

Today is a busy day for our sponsored rider, Mary King with her horses all coming back in to work after their winter holidays. We caught up with Mary whilst she was on route to pick up Imperial Cavalier and a new youngster from their owners, and after speaking to her we are keeping everything crossed for her in this very special Olympic year!

"Wow what an amazing year 2011 has been," Mary tells us. "I hope I haven't used up all my luck before London 2012! Winning the HSBC Classic Series, and finishing no.1 on the HSBC World Rankings was the highlight of this year making 2011 my most successful to date!"

Steph keeps us up to speed with the happenings at team Croxford!
