CHYWOONSTUD

please be assured that i will NOT rest until a solution has been found. DEFRA have cheated and changed the rules constantly. they issued to many PIO's when passports were first made a legal requirement, now they have to make their cuts and the GCS has been one of their victims. The people at defra are not horse people and not horse breeders. I will continue to try to fight their decision and thank you for your support at this very difficult time for everyone. my sincere apoligies to everyone.

Thank you sandrine for the wonderful photos. I do not get to see all the riding exercises because of judging the breed, so it is very nice to see these photos. congratulations to those horses who achieved Elite in the HN exam. It is wonderful to see you all doing so good with your horses. Perhaps one day I will get to see your beautiful Aslan? sandrine...

Yes vero next year i am sure he will be 'very good' , your Farrier (blacksmith) will do a good job with his feet and after Rambo has had shoes on for 2 months it should help him alot. I look forward to seeing him next year. Everyone knows his father Chance is my favourite, so i will watch Rambo's progress with alot of interest!

thank you for sharing the photos, the big black gelding (sorry i do not know his name) a lovely boy, i loved his character, his conformation, I can see he has a very nice owner too!

I never heard such garbage and rubbish, dangerous under saddle, what a joke, if only those judges knew you had shoulder surgery recently, the 18 hours drive, the trauma only 6 weeks ago of the transport. i think you both did an amazing job, you looked like a professional, for such a big stallion, and yes let us not forget he is a stallion, he was a gentleman, a kind and trusting soul, a truely wonderful picture of you both together. thank you for presenting him for everyone to see, an education and encourgement for gypsy cob owners

Thank you for everyone who made the weekend so enjoyable, a wonderful atmosphere, nice people and good examples of gypsy cobs. Thank vero for your expert organization skills, and our very interesting journey to Paris (GDG) also thank you to Charlotte, Edwige, marion and Fabianne who make my job very easy...

Thank you very much for the translation!!

Does anyone know if there is any DNA for SD Chief available anywhere? I did ask Stevie a few years ago but not sure if it was ever collected. we have alot of good horses registered by Chief, it would be very good to have his dna too.

I love the Irish setter, a beautiful dog, i have 14 English Setters, they are crazy just like the irish setter!

Hello, alot of French for me to read! i hope you can translate my english. I just wanted to say to you that you are doing a great job, your pony is very lucky to have you as the owner, I am sure in the future you will have alot of success and be able to ride her and enjoy her to her full potential. it sounds like it has had a bad start to life, and now you have to begin the education again, but i am sure it will be worth all your hard work. it surely is a most beautiful Fjord Pony. good luck..

He grows better every year, he looks more like his father PO everyday. He is a beautiful stallion with a most majestic head.

she looked very good at the show Fabianne, i hope she produces you some nice foals in the future.

Charlie looks great for 2 years old, he matures very well. i still have his baby photos, i can not believe he has grown into such a handsome man.

I love the white legs,

very nice photos, a pretty filly..

I have written the report for the show of 18th/19th june, I hope when you read it that it helps you all to understand what is expected in the Gypsy Cob. If you have any questions please email me direct, I will do my best to answer them for you. Do you require an article on the explanations of irish cob and gypsy cob? I am happy to do that for you,

Thank you JRM if you can do that it would be very interesting, my french reading is borderline, and it looks like a very interesting article.

now can we have the article in english marion? joke it is ok i can translate it, very interesting.

If you need me to explain again the difference between irish cob and gypsy cob i will do so, but not here, i will write a report and send it to GCS France, to make it simple, a Gypsy Cob can be accepted into ICS but not all ICS horses will be accepted into GCS, because NO they are NOT the same.

super photos of the weekend. thank you to everyone for making my visit so pleasant. My report of the horses at the show will be sent to Charlotte, for you all to read, I hope you find it interesting and educational.

He looks truely wonderful, just arrived only one week and he presents himself so well. it is so nice to see you smiling again Charlotte.

The show is open to everyone to enter, if you did not enter then it is no ones fault but your own. The horses presented yes many had the harkers stud name and they were sent through me to france; this should not be a reason to be jealous but to learn and take notice of what quality of gypsy cob i expect to find, I am always quite willing to speak to anyone personnally about their horse but i will never make personel comments about a particular horse on a forum; it is not correct to try and guess the reasons for the failure of Ciaran, it is dangerous to speculate; but if the owner wants to contact me i am very happy to do that; thank you to everyone who made it such a very nice atmosphere; and making me very welcome, thank you to the people who trust my judgement and who wish to protect the breed in france as much as i do.

I have already checked, the company used was already DEFRA APPROVED for European Transport of Equines, this makes it even worse that this has happened.

Charlotte you and Audrey and your vet have been amazing. I am sure without your nursing all night the situation would be even worse. it is absolutly disgusting what has happened and the person responsible wants to be locked up for animal cruelty. it is so hard when we are so far away, it is impossible to help, but it sounds like the rest of the mares are recovering. it shows what wonderful temprements this breed has for a mare to accept an orphan foal so easily is incredible. keep positive, you have done everything you can, justice will be made for the mare that lost her life. you can be sure of that. see you soon...

She certainly looks extremely well Vero, the french grass must suit her. I hope her foal is a good one for you, should be with her as mum and jeordy as dad!
