Our Go-To for Irrigation!
Zoe had previously encountered Hortech in 2005 for irrigation on her arena in Essex, nearly 20 years later the irrigation still works perfectly and has rarely had any break downs, the system is easy to use and drain down in the winter months too.
As the new arena at Lambley House was quite a lot more extensive than Zoe's old one, Wayne & the team came out to make a plan to get the best out of the new borehole system to accurately keep the new surface in top condition. This is made up of ten high pressure sprinklers around the outside that work at 180° and two in the middle that work at 360°. These all ensure even coverage of the area so that the ultimate riding conditions are maintained.

More recently on completion of the lunge arena, irrigation was also required to keep the sand and fibre surface in good shape. This time the needs were a little different given that this space is covered and requires year-round irrigation, the team designed another fantastic system. With six sprinklers working three-at-a-time on a lesser pressured system, again achieving maximum coverage of the area and with double insulation around all pipes and fittings the system can withstand even the coldest of temperatures. The B&M team were also part of the action building the pump shed out of some leftover roof insulation panels to ensure the tank and electric system are also frost-free.

🐴Homebred News : 3 out of 3 - World Breeding Championships🧬
We are pleased to announce that from the results of the 5yo Final at the Wildcard Qualifier in Schijndel, NL a few weeks ago, that homebred Comthago’s Jewel and stable mate Thor van de Vlasbloemhoeve have qualified to compete in Lanaken, BE at the FEI WBFSH Jumping World Breeding Championships for Young Horses.
This means that both Michael & Zoe will be competing this year.
We are also very proud that this is the third year running that we have had homebreds qualify for this prestigious event.
2022 saw Cornet’s Ghost - Cornet Obolensky x Balou du Rouet attend for the 5yo class, he also featured there in 2023 as a 6yo too.
Last year it was the turn of Comthago’s Jewel’s half brother Loma de Reve LH - Malito de Reve x Emerald also as a 5yo.
Zoe has also ridden there in the 7yo classes in 2022 with Katania who now jumps 1m60 classes and Labella V who is the mother of our up and coming star 4yo Doris V Z.
Comthago’s Jewel was also selected for the AES team to compete in Valkenswaard the following weekend but unfortunately due to the rules she was not allowed to compete at both events but Zoe will attend the show for the AES team with her 7yo stallion Mowgli C - Hermantico x Charisma.
At the start of the year we carefully planned the season and set these two events as our main goals for the end of the summer months and we are delighted that the plan came together.
We hope to be able to bring you more good news in a couple of weeks with our results from these two prestigious shows.
