A Thrilling January Roundup

The first chapter of 2024 has come to end and it has been full of exciting trips and creating engaging content for clients across the globe. 

Our first International trip of the year saw us Travel out to the UAE with an equestrian client,  Al Shiraa, where we attended the 7th edition of the Al Shira’aa Horse show. The show was based at a new home, the Al Ain Equestrian, Golf & Shooting Club, with 372 horses entered across 40 nations and 243 riders we knew were in store for a thrilling 5 days. 

During our time here we worked closely with the UAE showjumping team capturing the highs and lows of the event. Under the watchful eye of legendary  William Funnell, a four-time Hickstead Derby-winner and European team gold medallist, he guided the team throughout the week all in preparation of the Paris Olympics this summer. Al Shiraa Stables had 3 winners over the week with Salim Ahmed Al Suwaidi winning the Cavalor 67 years young horse on board Harvest, Humaid Abdullla Khalifa Al Muhairi winning the Majestiq Royal Care Silver Tour

on board Dubai as well as winning the Cavalor 6yrs Young Horses Final with Argentina De Kreisker Z

A highlight of the week was watching German born Sophie Hinners winning her first-ever Grand Prix on board Singclair. That wasn’t Sophie’s only win that week; she won The Cavalor 7-year-old Final onboard Monte Cristo 18. 

Fresh off their Dubai venture, our team set course for Lambourn, embarking on another exciting chapter. The team visited Brian Meehan Racing for  Manton Thoroughbred to film 6  two-year-old colts who make up their 9th year of the Manton Thoroughbreds. The following day they headed to Manton Stallions and filmed 2022 Group 1 winner Dubai Mile.

During our time in Lambourn, we made a visit to our long-standing client, Ed Walker. The visit wasn’t just a routine check-in; we captured some exciting content for the winter months ahead. This upcoming content is set to grace their social media platforms, offering a sneak peek into the behind-the-scenes moments. Additionally, we followed their two-year-olds as they gear up for more rigorous training in preparation for the upcoming flat season. Anticipation is building, and we can’t wait to witness these promising talents hit the tracks soon. Stay tuned for updates on their journey!

In the past couple of weeks, we’ve had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the mornings at Saffron House Stables alongside the Guineas winning trainer, George Boughey. Our cameras have been rolling as we capture the essence of a typical morning in the life of Saffron House Stables, resulting in an upcoming documentary. This special production not only includes an insightful interview with George Boughey but also offers an exclusive tour of the stables, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the world of thoroughbred training.

The final week of January saw us head to Caroline Powell Equestrian yard alongside her sponsor Stübben. During this trip, we sat down with Caroline as she spoke about working alongside Stübben and how their unmatched craftsmanship sets them apart from their competitors. We also learnt how their products contribute to enhancing a horse’s performance, both in training at home and during competitions.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of team members hitting the road, our dedicated graphic design team have been creating remarkable graphics for our clients. One standout project involves crafting captivating horse profiles for Highclere Thoroughbreds, allowing them to spotlight the latest additions to their syndicates. The intricately designed graphics not only showcase the beauty of these magnificent creatures but also provide a comprehensive overview of each horse’s unique qualities. Simultaneously, we’ve been hard at work assembling lively animations for Raja Packing UK, creating an engaging video about their recent supplier day.

As we wrap up this update on our recent projects, we’re thrilled to share that exciting trips are on the horizon for our team. Keep a close eye on our social media channels, where you can follow along and join us on our journeys across the UK and around the globe.
