Emma was originally asked to answer a few reader questions as part of a panel of experts, but the Horsemart editorial team were so delighted with Emma's contribution that they asked her to write the breeding feature.

Ben wins in Belgium

Quainton Stud would like to congratulate our rider Ben Maher for his monumental win in Mechelen, Belgium. Ben and Mr Paul's Rolette finished 2007 on a high note with a massive win in Belgium. The pair won the large and very tricky Grand Prix class in Mechelen’s CSI 5* competition in Belgium on 29th December 2007. The CSI 5* event at the end of 2007 was a great show for Ben, on the Thursday Ben won the 1.35m on Rolette and Pablo won the 1.35m. Then on the Friday Rolette finished third in the 1.45m and Pablo seventh in the Six Bar, but this all built towards the great win in the International Grand Prix class on the Saturday night on Mr Paul’s wonderfully consistent mare, Rolette.
