WL Fold 'N' Fly
The days are getting a lot cooler here at Antlerwood. Autumn is definitely here and after a WARM summer, we're more than happy to welcome it.

Welcome Home Sappho!
Meet Tenth Muse WH "Sappho", our gorgeous new baby girl bred by @walnuthillcc. She's a Zangersheide, my newest jumper prospect and perhaps Mathew's greatest surprise yet. How he managed to hide the purchase, we have no idea. "With great difficulty." he says.

my camera roll is almost entirely filled by these girls!

Mathew's victims team-members are veeery sceptical about the flatwork exercise he's set up for them.
"He's even locked the gate!"

Okay but why would a prominent member of the ts4 cc community and experienced 3D modeller steal the mesh of a total beginner and- *checks notes* ... Use an alt account to pay real money to access a paywalled mesh, 'blow up' the mesh to 'hide the evidence', 'refine it', remap the UVs completely and add new textures, spending hours making a single 'rustic' mesh look polished... when it would take less time to simply make a new mesh from scratch?
The obvious and most parsimonious answer is 'sometimes two people use the same reference material unknowingly', and that doesn't constitute theft.
Walnut Hill, Syke, Germany.
Mat and I were accompanied by their good friend and neighbour, Dakota Oakes on a trip to Walnut Hill, Germany to test ride two new prospects, Zombified WH and Stilton WH Z.
Zombified is an 8 year old Appaloosa Sport Horse with an impressive showing history, the perfect horse for our youngest rider, Maddie, to move up to the bigger leagues with. Zombie will be boarding and training at Black Spooky Stables, with Maddie still at school - she'll be working with Zombie on weekends.
Stilton WH Z is a 5 year old Zangersheide. He's still very green, though the base for his training is in place. Mathew's been wanting a new show-jumping prospect to take permanent residence in his show-team, and what's better than a horse from Antlerwood's favourite stud farm?

Laila getting some bonding in with her new Irish Sport Horse mare, imported from Talamh Rivir. Lira was a very exciting purchase for Laila, having finally secured a position permanent enough to afford a horse that's fully her own. Recently, with Mathew and I away for the Paris Olympics, she was able to snatch up a ton of extra work, which went straight to her horse fund. She still feels giddy talking about "her horse".

Mathew and HEC Delirious bringing home bronze 🥉 in Eventing Individual at the Paris Olympics. So incredibly proud of them and we're sure Dee's looking forward to his paddock at home!

Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, England, Antlerwood Estate is a premier equestrian facility dedicated to eventing and show jumping. Founded in 2022, our stable has quickly gained recognition, fueled by our accomplishments and commitment to developing top sport horses. At Antlerwood, we believe in developing athletes, not just competitors. Our approach prioritizes precision, balance, and long-term performance. Our team steers away from artificial aids, ensuring every horse is confident, adaptable, and rideable by any skilled rider. We maintain a structured five-day workweek, limiting jumping sessions to once a week while incorporating flatwork, conditioning, and varied training environments to keep horses both physically strong and mentally engaged. We combine time-tested training methods with the latest advancements in equine fitness, nutrition, and sports medicine, ensuring our horses develop correctly, stay sound, and perform at their best. Beyond our competition team, we specialize in scouting young prospects from elite breeding programs, carefully developing them into high-caliber competitors for our own team. Our small, selective breeding program also produces homebreds with the same commitment to quality and excellence. By prioritizing correct training, horse welfare, and long-term success, we create an environment where both horses and riders thrive, setting the stage for future champions. find us on The Equestrian Sims discord server!
