Everton was successfully represented by three horses at the Hygain Victorian Dressage Festival. After very limited opportunities to compete this year due to Covid 19 lockdowns in Melbourne, the dressage community warmly embraced this prestigious competition with huge entries in every class.
Lauren Stewart successfully competed in only her second FEI Prix St George test with Everton Dreamtime (De Niro x Clayshool). Louise Just and Everton Weltstar (Whisper IV x Clayschool) won the AOR Advanced Championship. Kate and her own Everton Rockwell (Rockstar x Lord Sinclair) came third in the open Medium Championship.
It is especially lovely to note that all three ladies have trained these horses themselves through the levels, which is testament to their willing characters. Well done we could not be prouder!

At just 8 days old, this little guy is already showing he has the talent to be an extraordinary dressage horse.
The beginnings of half pass....
Baby piaffe...
Uphill expression!
A lot of fun too!
Our beautiful mare Everton Hot Romance gave birth to her second foal at dawn this morning. A lovely healthy Vitalis colt was the result and he was up on his feet and drinking very quickly. Both Hottie and bub are doing well. These special moments are a privilege of a horse breeder.
