PERFORMANCE

In January 2002 Frou Frou D`anchin was purchased by High Offley Stud and unfortunately sustained a competition injury and missed most of the season. He began his long awaited come back at the Royal show where he accredited himself very well with a 2nd place in an 1.30m open competition.Frou Frou has continued his comeback winning and being placed in many open competitions, unfortunately he suffered a reoccurrence of the injury and it was decided to retire Frou Frou D`anchin from show jumping.

Frou Frou D`anchin then wen onto compete at affiliated dressage where he consistently won or placed in the competitions he entered, Frou Frou D`anchin is a very handsome 16.3 Bay Stallion with presence and character and has proved to be very popular Stallion with breeders.

High Offley Tipsy - High Offley Typsy is a lovely mare and combines some of the best jumping bloodlines available, bred at High Offley Stud she was kept to the age of 3 before being purchased by Paul Linning, who has had many successful horses from us. As a 4 year old High Offley Tipsy returned to us for breaking before being sent back to Paul to begin her showjumping career. High Offley Tipsy is proving to be an exciting prospect for the future and is proving to be a real winner for Paul, she qualified for the Discovery final for 2010 and is looking like a horse who will progress allot further.
