January 2022 - NSW Pony Classic
The delayed NSW Pony Classic, held by the Southern NSW WPCS Promotional Group, provided our first opportunity to be out showing for 2022.
Kingsfield Numerology (FS Numero Uno x FS Carry Gold) had a fabulous ‘day out’. Getting more confident each outing and starting to really get balanced and be able to ‘control’ her abundance of power. With over 160 horses entered, the classes were big and full of quality.
‘Ginger’ achieved some great results in such quality, open age, company bringing home:
- Champion Led Show Hunter
- Champion ‘Other Breed’ (GRP)
She was also in the placings in both her Arabian derivative and part welsh classes in large fields.
As usual….she was prepared to perfection by the ES Show Horses team.

November 2021 - Another attempt at returning to competition post-COVId
Cootamundra Spring Show
A chance to finally make it to another breed show following a cancelled Spring ‘season’.
The lovely Kingsfield Numerology had a fabulous outing at the (delayed) Cootamundra Spring Show.
She was looking amazing thankyou to the amazing work of the ES Show Horses team…and achieved some fabulous results as well, at what was her first outing in ‘open age’ company:
- Champion Open Led Galloway
- Champion Led Derivative
- Champion ‘Other Breed’ (GRP)
I enjoy the opportunity to show her as her ‘actual’ (or primary) breed registration via the ‘other breed’ classes when they are offered. As a Westphalen registered GRP, she is an example of what Australian breeders can produce - using approved GRP parents and registering back to the German studbooks - to produce a registered ‘full’ GRP. Showing as a GRP always prompts conversations with fellow competitors and spectators…..so is an opportunity to share information and educate the Australian equestrian community about the GRP.

November 2021 - Breeding News!!
After a ‘tricky’ 2020 breeding season where COVId and work commitments had resulted in a late decision to attempt to breed…and then the mares not cooperating on the ‘one go only’ they each had…..
For the new season, a new outcome.
Absolutely delighted that our spectacular Kingsfield Diamond Delight (White Diamond B/Hilkens Black Delight) is PTIF to the amazing Golden West NRW. Very much looking forward to what this cross might produce.

June 2021 - Western NSW RPG Foal and Youngstock Show
A second show for Kingsfield Numerology, and what a star she was...progressing so far in just a short few weeks and today coping superbly with her first indoor show!
She brought home a win in her 2yo Part Welsh Filly class and then Reserve Champion Part Welsh Filly.
With no derivative or saddle pony classes on offer today....and the part welsh section first starting at 8.45.....we were unplaiting at 9.20....and comfortably home before lunch despite the two hour travel time to the show. A perfect day in many ways!
As usual, a superb job done by ES Show Horses in preparing, presenting and showing the Kingsfield ponies. ‘Ginger’ is the fourth show prepped by ES....with a queue in the paddock waiting their turn.......

Southern NSW RPG Foal and Youngstock Show
A very crisp southern NSW ‘late autumn’ morning for our return to the show ring after a fourteen month ‘COVId break’.
Kingsfield Numerology made her showing debut, and what a debut it was. She was definitely the head turning exhibit on the grounds - so it was lovely to meet and chat to so many lovely people interested in finding out more about GRPs....after explaining ‘what’ she was. Lovely ‘Ginger’ also achieved a string a fabulous results, including a very long term ‘bucket list’ item - winning a WPCS medal!
We were also thrilled for the opportunity to support this fabulous show by sponsoring the Grand Champion Foal Exhibit.
After winning each of her classes against the largest fields at the show (there were more 2yo fillies than any other age/gender), Ginger’s headline Youngstock results were:
- Supreme Champion Part Welsh
- Supreme Champion Pony Breeds
- Champion Part Welsh Filly
- Champion ASPA
- Champion Arabian Derivative
It was worth the wait to get this very special youngster into the competition ring.

December 2020 - a third FS Numero Uno foal for Kingsfield!
What a lovely way to finish a very disrupted 2020. In the early hours of Boxing Day, FS Carry Gold produced a gorgeous colt by FS Numero Uno. It is a great privilege to now have three progeny by this amazing stallion.
December 2020
We are delighted and most fortunate to have secured an exquisite FS Don’t Worry filly, believed to be the only German passported female by him in Australia, from fully imported lines who carries multiple generations of recognised GRP breeding on the dam line.
Bred by Freemans Lodge, ‘Don’t Delay’ also carries the Classic Dancer I and Bodyguard lines.
Her female lineage is particularly strong, including a top 6 Lienen foal championship placing (her dam Freemans Lodge Divine Essence), and a third place Lienen mare championess (her grand dam Daisys Davina).
We are very grateful for the opportunity to secure this valuable line.

October 2020
A wonderful end to October for us, after the most unexpected year....one that meant very little activity in the equestrian community. How lucky for those of us with animals who give us purpose and unconditional love in these troubled times.
And as a breeder, 27 Oct brought us something very special indeed.
Lovely Bonnie (Overflow Die Feine Lady) gave us a superb buckskin colt by Bundeschampionate Gold Medallist Golden State. A very special foal indeed.

When the competition plans come to an abrupt halt....so the fabulous team at Stokes Sporthorses do a photo shoot of your pony instead! Kingsfield Black Swan.
March 2020 - Australian Arabian National Championships
The Kingsfield ‘flag’ was flown at AANC this year by our fabulous GRP X, and Part Bred Arabian registered, two year old filly Kingsfield Champagne de Luxe.
‘Poppy’ competed in the Junior Part Bred Filly section, against a quality and large field. It was an awesome achievement for her to be awarded Silver Champion.
As we breed primarily for performance disciplines, movement is a very high priority characteristic in our breeding program. So it was amazing to notice from the results (exhibits are scored in detail and results published) that she had the highest scoring movement of the entire Part Bred section!!
You never go to a show for one class if you can go for two...so we rounded out the day by also entering her in the open led show hack class. Not sure what to expect, given both age and colour were likely to be to her disadvantage....it was thrilling for her to finish third in the Galloway class (a mere 1.5 points....out of 500...behind the second/reserve). She also scored highly enough to earn a Top 10 placing across all height groups....a fabulous result for a coloured youngster in an open led hack class!!!

February 2020 - Bowral Dressage Club
After a trying summer for the equestrian community across most of the East Coast, we finally got our latest saddle prospect out to the competition arena - the fabulous 4yo mare Kingsfield Black Swan, aka Poppy.
At her first Young Pony start she won the 4yo Qualifier class with a strong score of 70.8 against a top quality field of ponies. However her most impressive achievement was the she copes with the day like a seasoned competition pony - testament to a perfect combination of great temperament and training.
A huge thank you to the Stokes Sporthorses team, and Kirby Mills for ‘piloting’ this special pony through her first competition.
This special mare certainly has a big future ahead of her.

March 2019- Grand Nationals
The Show Horse Council Grand Nationals is arguably Australasia’s premier show horse event, drawing finalists from multiple state level qualifiers across Australia and New Zealand, and bringing them together each autumn for five spectacular days of finals at SIEC in NSW.
It was a thrill when new owner Sallie Slater qualified Kingsfield Arlington for this event at their first major show - the ACT and Southern NSW Championships - in September last year. To qualify and then compete at Grand Nationals is such an enormous achievement.
Well, it didn’t stop there....
Against a strong field over twenty finalists, Jack and Sallie were selected by the international judge in third place!!!!
Such a thrill for everyone who has been involved in raising and training ‘Jack’ over the years, and a great achievement for GRP breeding in Australia. Delighted just doesn’t describe it!! 🖤

March 2019 - ACE Assessment
Another successful ACE Assessment Tour for Kingsfield this year! We welcomed German assessor Gerd Kust in early March and presented three ponies: two foals for Preliminary (registration eligibility) assessment plus our imported Rheinland mare FS Carry Gold for acceptance by the Westphalen Verband. As Westphalia is the only GRP ‘registration’ body that assesses foals in Australia, this step for ‘Carry’ (who is already a State Premium Mare in Germany) was to enable her progeny to be considered for Westphalen acceptance/registration.
‘Carry’ was exceptional, scoring over 83%!!! (84 for movement and 82.5 for conformation).
Both foals assessed very strongly, achieving Premium gradings overall, with elite level scores for movement.

This genetic treasure chest combines FS Champion de Luxe, FS Don't Worry, Dressman I, Power Boy, Derano Gold, Valido, Golden Dancer, FS Dacapo Doro...and the fabulous mare lines of Petit Fleur, Eileen and Golden Fleur.

A fabulous outing for Kingsfield Champagne de Luxe at the Cootamundra Foal and Youngstock Show on 10 June. At only her second outing, she again coped superbly well....and brought home some fantastic results:
- Grand Champion Foal of Show
- Champion Arabian Derivative Foal

The Western NSW RPG (WPCSA) also ran a concurrent breed ring, where 'Gretel' placed Reserve Champion Part Welsh Filly behind the eventual Supreme Part Welsh Foal.

May 2018 - Gundagai Horse Trials
Kingsfield Arlington had his second eventing start at Gundagai on the weekend of 26-27 May. Starting in the EA-60 again, this fabulous combination made an excellent start in the dressage - a score of over 70% gave them less than 30 penalties, placing them very near the top of the leaderboard after the first phase.
This class completed the show jumping second, with 'Jack' again being a little complacent over the 60cm course and having one rail. However, their excellent dressage meant they had gone into the show jumping with a rail in hand...so they still held fifth place.
They then had a super across country, over a course with some more technical challenges than their first competition start in April. Confident and clear...but just a tad quick to collect a small number of 'too fast' time penalties.
Finishing with 39.4 penalties, they held fifth place - earning their first eventing 'bow' as a combination.....and the first eventing 'podium finish' for a Kingsfield bred pony.

May 2018 - Southern NSW RPG Foal and Youngstock Show
The 2018 Southern NSW RPG (WPCSOA) Foal and Youngstock Show saw the showing debut of our lovely filly, Kingsfield Champagne de Luxe. 'Gretel' is our first foal by Cheval de Luxe, and being out of WB/NF cross pony Shadyoak Mesmerise, is a half sibling of our other superstars, K. Arlington and K. Nobleman.
She was an absolute superstar for her first outing - prepared wonderfully by ES Show Horses she both looked and behaved perfectly! The numerous compliments, from both people known and unknown to us, about her type and amazing movement was the most satisfying feedback.
Her excellent results made us proud:
Champion Part Welsh Filly Foal (R.1)
Champion Buckskin Foal
Reserve Champion Arabian Derivative Foal
Reserve Champion Saddle Pony Foal
Reserve Champion Part Welsh Filly (R.2)
