How To...... Create the illusion of Topline

If your horse or pony needs to develop a little bit of topline but the show season is upon you, follow these handy tips from Robert Walker on how skillful plaiting can create the illusion of topline..........

What you will need:

• Supreme Products Easy Plait
• Needle and Thread
• Supreme Products Highlighter Gel
• Mane Comb
• Hair Clip
• Supreme Products Sparkle

1)   If you would like to create an illusion of topline, section the mane then spray over with Supreme Products Easy Plait. This can be sprayed on to a wet or dry mane. Using Easy Plait will enable you to get a good firm grip on the mane hair and also help hold the plait in place.

Supreme Products- Easy Plait

2)  Plait the mane using a slightly thicker plait and start the plait off less tightly than normal at the top of the plait. Sew the base of the plait as normal.

3)   When you roll the plait, as it has been started off less tight, it will ‘flair’ a little, giving a wider plait. Roll then sew the plait and set it slightly higher up the neck. 

4)   Apply some Supreme Products Highlighter Gel to the fingers and palms and apply this to the plaits – this will accentuate the shine and is also helpful for sticking down any stray hairs between the plaits. 

5)   Here you can see the first three plaits that have been set higher up the neck and were looser, where the second set of three plaits were tighter and set lower down. The first set of plaits give the illusion of more topline.  

6) The final step is to spritz over the plaits and topline with Supreme Products Sparkle, which will accentuate the plaits and topline further as well as give a lovely natural shine.

Victoria’s Show Countdown

WITH three new rides for Team Supreme Products rider, Victoria Hesford is looking forward to the first shows of the season.

Loyal owner Clare Twiston-Davies has the Large Hack Whalton Forgery; Small Riding Horse Midnight Scoundrel; and Small Hack Maid in Manhattan for Victoria to ride and produce.

Under Gill Simpson’s ownership, Victoria has the Welsh Section B, Wortley Imagination and Dales, Kilmannan Black Wizard.

Said Victoria: The horses are coming on right now and it is only three weeks to my first show and Royal International Horse Show qualifier. 

“As I have all new horses this year I feel quite nervous as to how they will behave with me.  Robert Walker, my brother in law and another Team Supreme Products member, has been showing Forgery and he really is a class act to follow.

“Cameron (Midnight Scoundrel) my Small Riding Horse is a dream to ride and seems very easy - famous last words!"

“My other new one is Hattie (Maid in Manhattan) she is a Small Hack and has had a very successful time in her previous yard so I hope I can do her justice. 

“I will ride Cameron at the first show and probably Hattie and take Forgery to ride around just to see what he is like on a showground. 

“Also I cannot manage a Small and Large Hack following on as I have no one to ride one in while I am in the ring.”

"We are getting the horses ready for the ring, preparing their coats with Supreme Products High Shine Shampoo, which strips away dust and dirt and produces a really healthy shine on the coat."

A Host of New Stars.......

Team Supreme Products rider and showman Robert Walker is looking forward to the 2012 season with a host of young horses to compete.

Two new young Middleweight Show Hunters for owner Jill Day are Potters St Patrick a chestnut youngster that came from well known in hand producer Moggie Hennessy and the dapple grey, Morning Mist who was shown very successfully in Ireland by Michael O’Callaghan, who also produced the lightweight Ballard Bouncer in hand.

Said Robert: “Another one we think a lot about is the large riding horse, Spotlight, also owned by Jill and by Power Blade.  He is out of a Cavalier mare and just stunning. 

“Also chestnut, he is a very extravagant mover and won’t be pushed as I always have the future in mind.

“As well as many new horses for my great team of owners, I am also very excited about a new four-year-old I have bought myself.

“He is by the show jumping stallion Handel and just stunning.  He is as yet unnamed but is one to watch and will be a Heavyweight Show Hunter..

“The established horses will start in April, probably at the North of England Spring show at Osbaldeston with the first major aim being Royal Windsor.

“The novices are such an exceptional bunch that the last thing we will do is rush them, so we will just see how they progress and tie in the shows accordingly, in what we hope will be a successful year.”

Team Supreme Products Head for HOYS!

THE Supreme Products team of riders and producers have been in brilliant form this season and are heading to HOYS with 77 horses and ponies qualified from seven yards.

Cheshire-based Robert Walker has had a hugely successful season with 14 horses qualified as well as son Sam’s Lead Rein Show Hunter Pony, Annandale Phoenix.

Robert will be sharing the rides with his wife Sarah across Show Hunter, Riding Horse, Hack, Cob and Coloured classes.

Team Hollings head to Birmingham with 11 qualified including last year’s 148cm Show Pony winner, Crafton Touch of Gold and Alice Greenwood.

The Stanley Grange Show Team make their way to HOYS with 16 tickets of which six are through to the prestigious Cuddy In-Hand Championships.  In the Large Hack division Simon Charlesworth has Pearly King through and Michaela Wood will ride Genevieve.

Team Katy Carter have had another excellent season and will be taking nine to HOYS including the First Ridden, Megland Jaunty and 128cm Show Pony, Rotherwood Rainmaker, both very successful this year.

Sue-Helen Shuttleworth will be taking first time Traditional Coloured, Heartbreaker and the Highland stallion, Strathlaven Drum Ochter to HOYS while Sarah Challinor will be busy with nine qualified across M&M flat and Working Hunter Pony classes as well as Coloured sections.  This year the hugely successful Dartmoor, Pumphill Buckthorn will concentrate on workers.

Emmersons Show Team from Stokesley in North Yorkshire have 15 ponies through after a busy season with Jonika Whistle the Wind and Martha Jobling Purser, and Sandbank Early Bird with Freya Cade both in great form after top performances at the BSPS Championships.

Rob bounces Over The Rainbow at Bramham

In true Robert Walker style, he showed once again he is the man to beat and certainly on top form this time at Bramham.

It was Jill Day’s Ballard Bouncer who headed the Lightweight Hunter section before the six-year-old grey gelding Over The Rainbow, also owned by Jill Day, took the top spot in the Middleweight Hunter class.

Robert then rode Over The Rainbow to reign supreme in the overall championship taking the prestigious title.

Royal Windsor success for Team Supreme Products!

Team Supreme Products show riders and producers were out in force at the Royal Windsor Horse Show this year and hitting the headlines with some top performances.

The Stanley Grange showman Simon Charlesworth rode the Carey family’s five-year-old hack Pearly King to victory on his Royal Windsor debut.

The stunning bay produced by Simon and Jerome Harforth led the line throughout and glided around the arena in the Large Hack class.

It was also Simon’s first Windsor win and after once being compared to the legendary showman Count Robert Orrsich, he lifted the championship title which is named in his honour.

Pealy King, a son of Kilvington Scoundrel was bought by Jerome as a foal and then sold to the Carey family as a three-year-old. He competed at just five shows last season – all of which he won.

Also on form was Woodend Matilda ridden by nine-year-old Poppy Carter of Team Katy Carter.

Being the smallest contender in the show hunter pony finale didn’t faze them and the pair took the title. Katy describes Woodend Matilda as a real, proper kid’s pony that anyone could ride.

Robert Walker took the novice lightweight cob section with Chesterton and followed that with the title of overall cob champion.

Sue & Fizz win Makeover with Supreme Products and Robert Walker

SUE Wane and her homebred veteran Fizz enjoyed a day learning about all the turnout tips of the showing world from top show rider and producer Robert Walker.

Rob, Fizz & Sue arriving at Rob's yard in Cheshire

As the lucky winner of the Supreme Products competition in Showing World magazine, Sue travelled from Glossop in Derbyshire to Robert’s base in Cheshire for a day to remember.

Fizz, also known as Mirror Image, arrived looking fit and well but once Robert and his team set out on the makeover he was more than ready for a winning performance in the show ring, with Sue looking immaculate as well.

Robert was delighted at the 20-year-old, Cleveland Bay cross Thoroughbred’s condition, commenting that he certainly didn’t look like a veteran.

Said Sue: “It was a brilliant experience and I learned so much from Robert and Sarah.  Fizz looked immaculate when the team had finished and using the Supreme Products Professional Collection really made a huge difference.”

Sue explained that after initially retiring Fizz a few years ago she decided he looked far too well and brought him back in to work to compete in Veteran showing classes.

“My real aim is to try and qualify for the Veteran Championships at Olympia which would be brilliant,” said Sue.

Robert set to work on Fizz, guiding Sue on how to make him really stand out in the ring and use the Supreme Products Professional Collection effectively.

Rob showing Sue how to do Shark's Teeth

After giving Fizz a good brush following his journey, Robert started to explain the finer points of turnout to Sue.

Starting with the tail, Robert trimmed a couple of inches off Fizz’s tail to accentuate his correct limbs and movement.  As the tail was clean he then sprayed in Supreme Products Sparkle to make the tail look shiny and glossy.

Robert then used Supreme Products De Luxe Coat Gloss to help add lustre and shine to Fizz’s coat so that he really gleamed with condition.

The art of quarter marks and sharks teeth was then demonstrated to perfection with Robert making it look easy and the final image proved outstanding with the help of Supreme Products Spray & Shine.

Sarah showed Sue how to enhance his black legs to make them look glossy and shiny using Supreme Products Glistening Oil on a cloth.

Finishing touches were added to the hooves with Supreme Products Black Hoof Paint before Supreme Products Black Matt Makeup, Highlighter Gel brought definition to his eyes and muzzle.

As Fizz’s mane was very thin, the team were careful when it came to plaiting and Robert explained that new Supreme Products Mane & Tail Builder would certainly help.

Sue & Fizz looking immaculate. And still smiling, even in the rain!

Once the makeover was complete it was time to tack up and get ready for the ring. Sue looked smart in her showing attire and Sarah pointed out how using a thicker brow and noseband would enhance Fizz’s head and suit him better.

To round off the day Sue was delighted when Robert asked if she would like him to provide a few tips when in the arena.

Watching Sue ride, Robert was impressed with their team work and Fizz’s way of going, just encouraging Sue to ride him forward a bit more in the canter.

Sue, Fizz and Rob.

Sue will now be aiming to secure her ticket to Olympia with Fizz hoping to compete in the Veteran Championships at the end of the season.

I watched Rob lift the Hunter Championship and had a good cry in the stands - I was so delighted for him after the really tough year that he, Sarah and their Team and Family have had this year and he really deserved that win.

Great Start at HOYS for SUPREME PRODUCTS® Team Riders

TEAM Supreme Products riders Robert Walker and Sarah Challinor were in winning form on the first day of the 2010 Horse of the Year Show.

Robert set the scene when heading the TopSpec Middleweight Show Hunter of the Year section with Jill Day’s beautifully turned out, seven-year-old bay gelding Pride and Joy. The young show horse was groomed to perfection with perfectly plaited mane and coat shining under the lights. All the hard work and show ring presentation products that had been used before the class truly provided a stunning finish.

Going through to the championship, held during the evening performance, Robert and PJ, as he is known at home, continued to impress the judges Chris McGrann and Kath Barley when going on to take the Show Hunter Championship to everyone’s delight.

Meanwhile in the Caldene Arena, Sarah Challinor and the seven-year-old stallion, Pumphill Buckthorn, owned by Mrs S Hughes, first won the Dartmoor, Exmoor and Shetland section of the Mace Group Mountain and Moorland Pony of the Year, before going on to stand champion to much excitement.

Exciting Win for Sarah at Royal International Horse Show

Sarah Walker and Starry Night captured the Heavyweight Cob championship at the Royal International Horse Show.

The Supreme Products sponsored team member was over the moon with the bay gelding who arrived from Ireland in February and is owned by Camilla Neame.

Sarah took over the ride in June following husband Robert’s illness and she has been delighted with their progress.

The five-year-old won the Novice Cob class at White Rose in May with Robert on board, then won the Heavyweight Open at Hambleton, taking his ticket.

In July, Sarah had her first competitive ride on Starry Night at North of England Summer, winning the Novice Cob section before heading to Hickstead.

Said Sarah: “This was the first major show for him and we were absolutely delighted that he took to the atmosphere and went so well.

“He looked fantastic, with the show ring presentation products we used really making him shine and stand out. Everyone in the team couldn’t have been more pleased.”

Earlier in the week Robert and Sarah’s young son Sam took second place in the Lead Rein Show Hunter pony class, led by Supreme Products team member Katy Carter.

Great Yorkshire Show Win for Sam

Six-year-old Sam Walker proved a chip off the old block when he turned in a winning performance at the Great Yorkshire Show.

Riding Mirabelle P, Sam won the lead rein show hunter pony, when under the careful eye of producer and leader Katy Carter.

Mirabelle P looked immaculate with Supreme Products™ sponsored Katy producing the five-year-old to perfection. The 12hh pony's plaits were perfect, mane and tail were gleaming and the coat had an incredible shine. The sharks teeth gave the perfect finishing touch.

Said Kate: “For their first season together Sam and Mirabelle P have formed a great partnership. They really suit each other and it was great that all the family were at the show to support them.”

Mum and dad, Sarah and Robert Walker were at the ringside to watch Sam, who is having a brilliant first season.

With Robert currently out of action, he was delighted to be at the show to watch Sam follow in his footsteps and gain his first Great Yorkshire Show win.

Said Sarah: “We were all so pleased for Sam and Katy. Mirabelle P is proving a wonderful pony for Sam to learn on and winning at the Great Yorkshire Show is always a very special occasion.”

Sarah Walker Qualifies for HOYS- Robert Home from Hospital

Sarah Walker took up the reins at Cheshire County and North of England Summer with husband Robert currently sidelined but now home from hospital.

At Cheshire County Sarah rode Lucy Smith-Crallan’s Holtess D-Day to win the Novice Riding Horse class to everyone’s delight.

In the HOYS qualifiers, Sarah’s winning form continued with Jill Day’s Small Riding Horse, Party Time heading his class, before Lucy Smith-Crallan’s Large Riding Horse, Tranquil Heights claimed the runner-up spot in his section, both horses gaining their tickets to Birmingham in October.

At the North of England Summer Show at Arena UK, Sarah rode Camilla Neame’s young cob, Starry Nights to head the Novice Cob class and took second in the Maxi-Cob with Tank Top owned by Yorkie Jobling-Purser.

The team at Supreme Products wish Robert well on the road to recovery and have their fingers crossed Sarah’s superb form continues.

Midland Counties Success for Robert Walker

Robert Walker’s 2010 campaign continued at Midland Counties show at Uttoxeter with his string of horses again in the ribbons.

The Supreme Products sponsored rider took the honours with Jill Day’s middleweight hunter, Over The Rainbow and then went champion.

Said Robert: “Over the Rainbow has really matured this year and when he is presented for the ring, plaited up and groomed to show ring perfection he looks a picture. As he is dapple grey once he has been shampooed and we have applied hoof paint he really stands out.”

Robert then partnered the Maxi Cob, Tank Top, owned by Yorkie Jobling-Purser, to head a strong field, before taking the reserve champion rosette.

Supreme Products Makeover Winner Qualifies for Equestrian Life Championship

Suprene Products makeover winners Yvonne Fisher and Alamandos Star have hit great form since winning a day with top showman Robert Walker.

Yvonne and Bruce, as he is known at home travelled to Robert’s yard in Cheshire, with her sister Lorraine Fisher who owns the heavyweight, bay gelding.

Their newly learned skills were put to the test at Tickhill Riding Club show, where they took part in the Equestrian Life qualifier and took the red rosette, to a big round of applause.

Having picked up some top tips from the showing maestro Yvonne and Bruce looked immaculate to wow the judges.

Said Lorraine: “Bruce looked brilliant and Yvonne rode him really well. They have been practising the extended canter and he looked fantastic. It was the best I have ever seen her ride him.”

More Success for Robert at Windsor

Robert Walker’s great start at the Royal Windsor Horse Show continued in the Maxi Cob class on the final day.

The Supreme Products sponsored rider took the honours with Tank Top, heading a strong field.

Tank Top is in his second season in the competition arena and is owned by Yorkie Jobling Purser.
