Stud Duties
The Cyden Stallions returned to competition with their owner and rider, Lara Dyson, in spectacular form at Sheepgate Equestrian’s Premier League Show, after standing at Stallion AI Services for over a month.
Sweeping the board at Advanced Medium Restricted level, Cyden Cadans M and Cyden Bodyguard Moorland took first and second place in all eight classes across the four- day show.
Lara decided to attend Saturday and Sunday ahead of the Premier League Show on the Monday and Tuesday as she was apprehensive about how the stallions would react back in the competition arena so soon after returning from stud.
Displaying their fantastic temperaments, they showed no dip in form as a result of being out of work during their stay at Twemlows and both qualified for the Winter Regional Championships on the first day.
Seemingly in a competition with each other, Cadans and Bodyguard took it in turns to take first place, with Cadans scoring over 74% in two classes and Bodyguard also scoring plus 74%, much to the delight of Healing-based Lara.
“Both Cadans and Bodyguard returned from stud looking amazing and judging by how well they have taken to returning to work, they are feeling well too. I was really hoping they would both score 70% and they didn’t disappoint.”
“They seem to have come back from stud ready for anything and even better behaved than before, I was prepared to have to sit tight and with hindsight, I wouldn’t have competed on the first two days as they were a little tired by the Monday.”
“This was the first time they had travelled since their journey to and from stud but they came off the lorry and behaved beautifully around all the other horses. They were a real credit, not just to me but my whole team.” said Lara, who is a brand ambassador for the Lifeforce Range from Alltech.
Frozen semen is available from all three Cyden Stallions, Cyden Cadans M, Cyden Bodyguard Moorland and Cyden Oostings Amigo.
