She has done us all so proud in her 2 years Led showing getting her first Supreme Led at only 7 months old against adults. She was Reserve Supreme Junior Sport Horse at HOY 2017 & 2018 and also Reserve Champion Mare of the Year HOY 2018 against the adults. Booked to be broken in at the beginning of the season I can’t wait to ride her. Thank you so much for giving us the chance to have this girl. Life sure would be boring without her.

Year born: 2011

Gymsee has been twice reserve Champion at the Waimate A&P show. Is graded level 1 dressage after only 2 outings. Was placed 4th in her first ODE 80cms, got 4th placing in the Show Hunter winter series, after only attending 2 out of 4 shows with an 11 year old rider. 

Gymsee is the only one that did not grow. But her attitude and kindness makes up for it. She has little springs and loves to work for you! Love this mare! Has been to 3 Pony Club Camps. She loves swimming. She won the games.
As my daughter Charlotte, almost 12, is now allowed to ride her, she will be taking Gymsee to Pony Club next season, will do ODE's and Show Hunter and maybe dressage on her. Otherwise I will be doing the dressage on her.
​
At the end of last year Charlotte van der Zwan and I visited Sue at Astek and went to see all the stallions and mares. Sue Fowler is the best breeder I had to deal with. Very compassionate and will do anything to make the whole AI experience as easy as possible.

Astek Guardsman

Owned by:

Guardsman is a horse I won a half share in in 2012 from Astek Stud in conjunction with a NZ Horse & Pony Magazine promotion. I would like to thank the unwavering support of Sue Fowler from Astek. She has played such a huge roll in what can only be described as a horse of a lifetime! I was humbled by such a warm welcome into Sue Fowler's home and stud. It was so refreshing to meet such honest, enthusiastic and generous people. I was very impressed by the way Astek Stud is run and the quality of their foals, mares, youngsters and stallions. It was extremely hard to choose just one lovely horse, but in the end Astek Guardsman stood out to me. He has fabulous conformation, wonderful movement and a quiet and easy nature, all attributes that I think will make a top eventer. 

Achievements:
WINNER NZ Young Event Horse Champion 2015 Taupo 3DE

Here’s a new video of our lovely Astek Aarcijazz, thought you’d like to see how she’s going after coming back from injury having her foal.

She recently had 18 months off due to a paddock injury (in the mean time produced the most gorgeous BIG filly. Shortly before her injury we were working on level 4/5 dressage hoping to compete at level 4 at HOY the following year. The last test she did was level 3 where we received a 72% and 77%! She’s a sweet but spicy mare with heaps of character, elasticity and intelligence, I just love working and being with her.

Our first broodmare that gave us Gracie. Heidi was very kindly offered to us by Astek Stud in foal to Gym Bello after what had been a very expensive & failure of a breeding season. Sue was absolutely amazing to deal with every step of the way. We intended to get her back into her ridden career but she produced us such a stunner we wanted more. She gave us a gorgeous Triomphe de Muze filly this year but sadly it wasn’t to be. She is such a great mum to her foals and so friendly always running up for a pat.

After a late, and unfortunate, start in life, ‘BC’ has gone on to be a very successful show hack winning Titles and Runner Up Titles at the 3 Horse of the Year Shows in which he has competed. He has also won the Hunter Title at NZ’s first Equitana in Auckland in 2017. 

BC is also a very talented jumper, has numerous dressage points, loves the hunt field and his favourite place is riding down the beach! 

A loveable boy, and with an earlier and better start in life, his talent alone would have taken him to the very top in any discipline.
