NIKI CHAPMAN, my horses

 LADYBROOK REMINGTON

Stable Name: Remi

Description: 16.3hh 1996 bay gelding

Breeding: Australian Stock Horse (By: Mills Stud Musket)

Owner/Breeder: Joanne & Nicholas Markwell and Niki Chapman

Competing: Three Star

‘Remi’ began his competition life as a camp drafter, however at 17hh he was just too big for the job.  Joanne recognised ‘Remi’s’ potential as an eventer and sent him to me in February 2004.  Since this time he has gone from strength to strength, progressing though the grades with numerous wins and placings along the way.  

Remi is now competing at Three Star level eventing and Advanced level dressage.  He is an exceptionally talented horse that I hope will continue to improve and develop into a competitive Four Star horse.

 








MILFORD MONARCH 

Stable Name: Archie

Description: 16hh 2002 black gelding

Breeding: Anglo Arab X

Owner/Breeder: Deborah, Graeme and Alex Aldridge

Competing: Two Star 

Archie is a very talented young horse who was a winner at his first start.  Since this time he has continued to improve and and won his last Pre Novice start before moving up to One Star level this year.  He recently placed 5th at the Sydney CIC* and 7th at the Eventing Equestriad Australia CIC*.  Archie has also had good results at two star level.

Archie has nice movement and a big careful jump, combining this with his wonderful temperament he has all the ingredients to make a successful performance horse.

Archie will go 3* in 2010.

 



SIR DEX 

Stable Name: Dex

Description: 16.2hh 2000 Bay Gelding

Breeding: Thoroughbred (By Dexter)

Owner: Niki Chapman

Competing: Pre Novice

Dex was a star racehorse, winning nearly a million dollars for his connections.  Dex's owners wanted him to have a good home after racing so placed him with Cobie Sheehan who did a wonderful job with his early performance horse training.  Cobie brought Dex to me for some Eventing training and from the start I just loved him and she showed ability as an eventer. 

Cobie and I agreed that Dex was really enjoying Eventing so Cobie agreed to sell Dex to me.

Although a late starter as an Eventer (8yo) Dex is showing great talent and placed 3rd at his first Intro start and then placed 5th at Albury in the Prelim and more recently 2nd at the Eventing Equestriad Australia Prelim.

I am looking forward to working with Dex in the future. There are so many photo's of Dex as I love them all.





 



WISTERIA LANE 

Stable Name: Kirra

Description: 16hh 2004 Bay Mare

Breeding: AUS WB (By Kaptain, Out of a Belcam Aatlantis Mare)

Owner: Niki and Carol Chapman

Competing: Pre Novice

Kirra is a lovely mare, that I purchased whilst sidelined with a broken leg. 

She has beautiful paces and a good jump.  Kirra placed 2nd at her first Intro start.  Kirra won three prelim starts in a row and is now competing Pre Novice level.  Kirra has also won at official dressage and placed 2nd in the Sydney Young Event Horse class.  She is an exciting prospect for the future.

Competing: Intro

Holly is a lovely young horse that was bred by us.  She is by the super jumping stallion Vivant.  She will be produced with an eventing career in mind.  Holly placed 2nd at her first eventing start (Wagga Wagga Intro October 09)
