The Festive Push

While the world seemingly slowed down, our engines revved up, propelling us across the expanse of the UK, covering over 1800 miles in pursuit of capturing moments. Our mission? To seize remarkable videos and photographs that tell compelling stories for our revered clients. 

Join us as we reminisce on the final adventures and stunning visuals that portrayed the last chapter in 2023.

December kicked off with an electrifying start at the Tattersalls Foals and Mare sales, where anticipation was high with Europe’s leading Bloodstock set to be wold under the lights of Park Paddock. The prestigious Sceptre Sessions highlighted some of the globe’s finest mares, drawing in a multitude of international breeders. Across two thrilling evenings, our multiple clients took centre stage, highlighting an impressive lineup. Among the luminaries were the likes of Relief Rally, a Group winner for William Haggas, the remarkable 1000 Guineas victor Cachet representing client Highclere Racing & George Boughey, and the esteemed Group 1 Champion Teona from Barton Stud.

The sales ring was a hub of excitement, reaching a crescendo on the second night. A crowning moment awaited our client Barton Stud, emerging as the top consigner of the week, while the astonishing Teona claimed the spotlight as the week’s top lot, fetching a staggering 4,500,000 Gns from new owners Juddmont.

We also had the honour to create two highly impactful promotional videos for Dullingham Park Stud on their two new arrivals to their stallion roster ahead of 2024. Dullingham Park Stud envisions creating a top-tier facility and providing an exceptional roster of stallions to meet the requirements of breeders in both British and European regions. We were thrilled to produce two captivating and highly influential productions Soldier’s Call and Shaquille while highlighting the outstanding facilities that Dullingham Park will offer in 2024. 

As the festive spirit developed in the air in the final week before Christmas, our team embarked on our first visit to the Excel Centre for the London International Horse Show. Over the course of five captivating days, we immersed ourselves in capturing moments that resonate deeply with equestrian enthusiasts, catering to clients Tim Gredley, Laura Collet, and Fairfax & Favour. 

Day 1 was a whirlwind of excitement as the main arena roared to life with the heart-thumping spectacle of Extreme Driving. Witnessing Boyd Excell clinch the FEI Driving World Cup title was nothing short of electrifying, keeping the audience teetering on the edge of their seats. 

During the arena breaks, we captured the vibrant stand of Fairfax & Favour nestled within the bustling shopping village, where they displayed their stellar products at this premier event. Our lens followed the esteemed British dressage rider, Charlotte Dujardin, a three-time Olympian, as she immersed herself in the latest products and engaged with fellow shoppers, adding a personal touch by signing programs. This preceded her triumphant victory in the FEI Dressage World Cup.

Day 2 had us tracing Tim Gredley’s journey, capturing every exhilarating moment as he competed aboard Imperial HBF in the Christmas Pudding Speed Stakes, captivating the audience with his prowess.

 The next two days, we witnessed Laura Collett’s presence in The New Horizon Arena, participating in The LeMieux Grassroots to Glory Masterclass alongside Richard Waygood. Their session offered invaluable training insights to an engaged audience. Laura’s transformation into Snow White for the fancy dress relay added a playful touch to the event, where she partnered with Tom McEwen as the Queen, securing a commendable second place amidst some spirited competition. 

In December, our team were asked to take on an exciting mission —we’ve been entrusted to start from scratch and shape an exciting brand identity for a new International syndicate. Global Thoroughbreds, a new syndicate company, made big moves by purchasing horses from the UK for racing in Australia. We will be designing a brand-new logo to kick start their social media presence and crafting a fresh website, we’re diving into this project headfirst, so stay tuned over the next few months as we guide Global Thoroughbreds towards their brand aspirations and witness their journey unfold in the world of racing in Australia!

While the videographers were busy travelling the UK, back in the office we have been busy creating engaging graphics and a new website for clients James Moffatt and William Haggas

Not only have we revamped client sites, but we have been busy adding to our own website with our latest venture M3 Equestrian being added and will be live very soon.
