Izaak     Video Flash Player

Izaak at home in the field after his 50mile ER,  1st at Dukeries 80k ER ridden by me  1st   RAF Cranwell  ridden by Terry Madden   his first ride at Delamere, The Finish Dukeries ...

Izaak is quite a character, he has such an easy nature and a sane personality, other than his racing moments anyone who has ridden with him may have seen them, he is so laid  back its hard to believe he has so much stamina.  He takes everything in his stride, and is a true gentleman in every way,  he looks after me, and always trys to please, without sounding too nuts if he had a voice he could talk but as he cant he uses body language in quite a obvious manner.  So if he isnt happy it wont go unnoticed.    We have taken Izaak slowly as he was successfully racing with Georgie Moore at Harwood as a three year old winning at a high level. Impressed by his turn of speed and quick recovery, he was an ideal endurance horse.  He had a year off and another taking life easy, last year he came slowly back into work.  He has had a good start to the year, but we still dont want to overdo him,  so we try and limit to 1 ride a month. He will now go FEI, he has finished his first two ER's in 1st place and felt as if he could go further.   Wirral   40k Completed Non Competitive Speed Ullswater 9.5.06 25k Pleasure completed   Sherwood 17.9.06 40k Pass G2   Dukeries 28.5.07 50k Pass Comp   Wharncliffe 10.6.07 40km Pass G3   Ludlow 15.7.07 65km Pass G1   Lindum 28.7.07 80km Pass G3   Northern Champs 26.8.07 81km E R Pass Comp 8th   Autumn Frolic 23.9.07 32km Pass   Haywood Oaks 13.4.08 64km Pass G4   RAF Cranwell 4.5.08 80km ER Pass 1ST 17.84kph Dukeries 24.5.08 80km ER Pass 1st 18.18kph

Indian Gold daughters Naxindra and Rosalina and the Ruskov daughter Rafika. When May Lyon died in 1962 she left the stud and horses to her cousins the Calverts, who brought all the horses together in their present home. inherited by Robbie and Monica Calvert. By then it consisted of 48 horses, and included two stallions, Fancy Shadow, by Bright Shadow out of Yavroum who was at Harwood, and Magnet by Dargee out of Rosalina who was at Rostrevor.

First to parade was Saker, a gleaming silver-white elegant horse standing 15.2 hands high, now 17 years old. This imposing stallion is by Ahmoun out of Moulton Star and was British National Junior Champion in 1986. He is on loan from Erica Ferrari and also has a good race record. Saker is double bred to both Ludo and Indian Magic with additional Rissla lines coming from Mikeno and Indian King.Next in was Kasadi, Mrs. Calvert's favourite horse because as she explained, "he was born here, and I have known him for 25 years". This charming chestnut gentleman is by the Indian Flame II son Taqah and out of Anna Rose (by Harwood Asif), representing several generations of Harwood breeding. He has bred race winners as well as in-hand and ridden show winners, including the well-known dressage and show champions Vikta, Jazmyn and Cezare. They are usually chestnuts with four full white stockings and superb movement

We saw three generations as well as the blood of both stallions united through a family group of the 15-year old grey mare Freyr, her grey nine-year old daughter by Kasadi called Caecilia, and Caecilia's three-year old chestnut daughter Selene, by Saker. Next came the lovely chestnut Kasadi daughters Marceline, a British National winner out of Kashala who is now in foal to General Reflection, and Bhavna, a beautiful two-year-old out of Sophy and full sister to Vikta, Jazmyn and Cezare. Saker's daughter Perle D'Azur is a successful race horse, now in foal to Clarenden Stud's Russian racing stallion Div. Three up-and-coming yearlings bred for high performance included the colt Christov, by Kasadi out of Kashala, Heavens Open, a bay filly by Saker out of multi race winner Pharitz Maneon, and Cirrius, by Saker out of winning racing mare Gennista. We were also treated to other young stock as well as the delightful sight of mares with foals at foot in the next generation of race, show and endurance performance horses

A favourite horse of Monica’s was by Kasadi called Vikta (Kasadi x Sophy), a home bred gelding. He won many awards and championships, taking part in the first HOYS to have Arabian classes.
