Since 1982 we have owned and bred coloured horses and as sporthorse enthusiasts we particularly value good movement. Whilst we enjoyed success in coloured horse classes in the eighties and nineties, our goal posts have moved. We are pleased to see the B.E.F have brought in the innovative Young Horse Evaluation Series to which we will in due course present our homebred horses. Our ultimate aim is to breed successful National level dressage horses and we probably own the 'World 's finest collection of Pinto Sporthorse mares'!

During the past twenty years we have imported horses from Poland, Holland and Germany and thus have gained valuable knowledge about bloodlines and breeding. We have an extensive network of contacts and fellow breeders and through our introductions, buyers from Europe and the USA have purchased their dream horse or added valuable stock to their breeding programme. Nathalie was elected onto the council of The Coloured Horse and Pony Society UK in the mid nineties for three years during which time she initiated and edited the society journal 'A World Of Colour', opened CHAPS members eyes to coloured horse activities in the rest of Europe, raised funding and brought in the inaugural warmblood and sporthorse loose jumping classes to the National Show, rewrote the studbook rules, and organised and accompanied a successful British team of six to contest the Deutsche Pinto Zuchtverband National Show in Germany at Alsfeld in1998.

In August 2001 we moved from Bedfordshire to North Staffordshire to a former beef unit which is now beautifully adapted to provide parkland grazing, indoor stabling with foaling boxes, stocks and loose housing for the winter.
