2009/10 was a fabulous year for us here at Cloister Morgans. Max was undefeated in hand in Foreign Breed Classes and had an outing under saddle which he also won. He won Supreme Champion 3 times out of three attempts in hand. In addition he has also been attending dressage clinics every fortnight with Joss Edwards and Justine Jevon (a classical dressage rider / trainer). He has come on leaps and bounds and is now established in his shoulder in, counter canter, and travers. He has just started some collected work on the long lines and is a very exciting prospect.

Max will be entering the dressage arena in competitions at Novice Level this year ... we wait to see how judges see and judge him.

Max (Cloister Caradog) playing in the field without his rug. Some of Bart (BFM Bartholomew) in the Navy Rug and Lucie (Landside Minuet) in the grey rug. As you can see we haven't been affected much by the snow and our fields still look quite presentable and dry.

A few more updated pictures of Cloister Caradog (Max).. He has won the in hand foreign breed class, the championship of the Foreign Breed and the Overall in hand show champion at one of our local shows. He was competing against Friesians in the Foreign Breed Class and against all breeds in the overall championship.
Last weekend was the BMHS championship show - Max's first under saddle, he was 4th under saddle and 2nd in hand.

Max is home after 10 weeks dressage training.


Nach zehnwöchigem Dressurtraining ist Max zurück auf unserer Farm.

Januar 2008: Beim Freispringen zeigt sich Max gewohnt brav und verständig. Beim longieren über Cavaletti macht er schon eine gute Figur.In diesem Jahr wird er nur sechs Stuten decken, da er auch viel unterm Sattel vorgestellt werden soll.


January 2008: He has just been introduced to loose jumping and is proving to be very brave. Max is making a lovely shape over small fences. This year he will be standing to 6 mares only as he will be competing under saddle for the first time.

Dezember 2007: Max (Cloister Caradog) am Ende der dritten Woche seines Beritts. Er wird noch weitere fünf Wochen seine Dressurausbildung fortsetzen, bevor er in den heimatlichen Stall zurückkehrt. Im täglichen Training und in wöchentlichen Unterrichtsstunden wird seine Ausbildung dann vertieft werden, um ihn auf die Herausforderungen im Jahr 2008 vorzubereiten.


These are pictures of Cloister Caradog at the end of his 3rd week under saddle. He will continue with his classical dressage training for a further 5 weeks before coming home. He will then have plenty of hacking and weekly training sessions in preparation for the 2008 competition year
