HORSES KEPT AT DANESWOOD

Solloman (now called Windover II) was owned by Leonie's close friend Sarah Harthill Glithero who sadley passed away in 2007 after a battle with cancer. Solloman came 3rd and 4th at the Nationals and was NW regional champion for novice open and novice freestylye as well as attending World class selection trials in 2008 and 2009. He achieved scores of up tp 81% and was at one time the 4th highest scoring horse in the country

Wajade was produced as a 4 year old by Leonie and had a very succesful start to her carrer winning many novice classes with up to 75% She qualified for the Badminton Young Horse class and for the Shearwater classes. Now ridden by Claire Gaskin she has continued her succes being selected for the Home internationals and she came 2nd in the Pet Plan novice open at Burrows court so has qualified for the nationals. She was also well placed in the young horse classes at the premier league shows

Zara was previously an eventer who was found by Leonie for a client. She is a fabulous mare who loves to learn and within a few weeks had learnt half passes, counter canter and has the most amazing extended canter. She is now doing really well with her new owner who adores her.

Rubens was imported from Germany as a 4 year old and produced by Leonie from 4 to 6. He was another high scoring horse often achieving over 70% Now owned by Nikki Alton he has qualified for Nationals at Novice where he came 10th and recently he came 3rd in the Medium restricted at the Nationals. Now competing advanced medium.

Rupert was a quirky boy but on a good day he could get up to 78% He had quite a few issues and one day at a show took over 5 hours to load to come home!! He was the first horse that Leonie started using Natural Horsemanship method with as traditional loading methods made him throw himself on the floor He qualified for Nationals at Novice and came 3rd at the NW regionals, the one and only time I have beaten my trainer Gareth Hughes!!!

Blind Faith was bought for a pound as she was blind in one eye so failed the vetting! She was a very sharp fiesty mare who was quite tricky to train but Leonie managed to get her to PSG and she was never out of the top 10 at regionals. As she grew up she calmed and became a super schoolmaster and then a fabulous mother having a super 007 Obinstien

Harry was trained up to PSG by Patsy Bartram and as a young horse won the Novice regionals. He was bought for a client of Leonie'e as a schoolmaster and Leonie competed him up to PSG. He has the most fabulous temperament and when he found things hard he would just canter and do one tempi changes all over the place!

Harvey was a troubled soul when he first came to Daneswood, he used to box walk really badly and when you were riding him if he got stressed which was quite often he would go to the nearest fence and stop!! After a lot of rehabilitation he became a well balanced horse and a joy to ride. His favoirite game was to canter up and down the fied with a rubber ball in his mouth!!!

Luka was the most fabulous schoolmaster ever!!!! Found for a client in Holland. He was stunningly beautiful and worked up to PSG. He had a very succesful kissing spine opperation which was so hard to diagnose as he was such a sweet horse he barely complained while he had it!! He returned to full fitness and continued to be a fantastic schoolmaster

Wodo was a very cheeky chap previously owned by Damian Hallam. He did very well in the young horse classes and got some really good scores up to 75% with Leonie. He is now with a young rider and s trained by Mat Frost

Missy was a sensitive mare who loved to try hard. With super paces and looks to die for she was a favorite of Leonie's

Weltiqui was bought as a foal from the Woodlander stud and backed by Leonie and competed in a few young horses classes.

Sabrina is like the girl with a curl in the middle of her forehead! When she is good she is VERY VERY good but when she is bad she is horrid!!! A little horse with mega paces she is sure to be winning titles soon
