Our 1st Premium and Model Predicate NRPS Dutch Warmblood Foundation Mare Edwina Imported from the Netherlands aged three.

As soon as she arrived in Scotland her gentle nature revealed itself. Turned loose in the school she danced across the arena and we were totally smitten!

First shown inhand at Dabbs Spring Show in 2004 she won the coloured class and went on to win the Championship. Her success continued from one show to the next. Admired not only by judges in the coloured classes but much praise was also received from thouroughbred, hunter and sport horse judges throughout Scotland and the UK. "It's just the way she moves" we were frequently told.

At Fife Show she won the Inhand Supreme Champion Reserve and returned the following year to claim the Kilconquar Inhand Supreme Championship Title & Trophy.

In September 2004 Edwina was presented at the SSH gradings and gained the marks for STER by KWPN Stallion director Toine Hoefs and Ine Van Deurzen receiving, walk 9, Trot 8.5 with a 7 for canter, confirming what so many had already remarked upon.

In her ten years with us she has yet to come home without a ribbon and more frequently than not red in colour accompanied with the Championship Rosettes & Trophies.

Her progeny have acheived as much success in the ring.
