Those of you who read my monthly musings will know that one of the silver linings of the lockdowns (both in March 2020 and in January of this year) was the time it gave us to focus on our young horses. While our more established horses had a break from competition, we spent the extra hours that gave us really getting to know our young horses and figuring out what makes them tick. The results have been amazing, and our current crop of home bred sports horses are really exciting… one in particular.
I’m so lucky here at TCE to have the space to breed and produce sports horses and a team with the talent to help develop their natural talent. I started my career in eventing and now focus on pure dressage, while the wonderful Holly Richardson is on hand to bring on our young event horses. Both Holly and I have had our heads turned by one of my beautiful home breds this year and come to the same conclusion - we want to stay a part of her journey. I’m over the moon to share the news that we have created our first ever Team Chapman Equestrian syndicate for Madame Revolution TCE.
This beautiful homebred mare is by the world young horse dressage champion Revolution out of an Alicante mare (a leading jumping stallion), and I believe she really has it all. She’s already showing a scopey, bold and careful jump, bravery cross-country schooling and has paces to die for. We all have the highest hopes for this incredibly talented young horse and so I’m hoping to keep her here for Holly Richardson to produce and take up the levels. And that means there’s a chance for eventing enthusiasts to be part of the journey and come to events to support her.
If you would like to experience the thrills of event horse ownership whilst sharing the cost with like-minded people, this really is a fantastic opportunity. Syndicates are sociable and fun, with chances to meet fellow members at competitions and events here at the Team Chapman Equestrian yard. We are selling 8 shares in Madame Revolution TCE for £8,000 each, with just a share of livery costs to pay on top of that. This is an exciting time to be getting involved with Madame Revolution TCE as we aim her at young horse classes and look forward to seeing her progress up through British Eventing levels. If you would like to learn more about Madame Revolution TCE, Holly Richardson and how the syndicate works, drop me a line.
