In March 2010 he began his ridden career with Jack Starkie. First time out he qualified for PUK Winter Championships in the Confined Novice and Open HORSELODE Mixed height M&M WHP classes. He has consistently jumped double clears showjumping/open WHP and has competed dressage narrowly missing out on qualifying for The NPS Dressage Championships at Addington Manor. Judges described him as a ". talented pony with super rhythmic paces - the perfect child’s pony".

October 2010 he was presented at the Sports Pony Society Stallion Grading not only passing with flying colours but also achieving Reserved Champion Placing. He also fulfilled BSJA grading requirements for Competing Pony Stallions.

At the SPSS grading we were delighted with the scores he received which included 18.5/ 20 for temperament, 8.5/10 for jumping loose & under saddle 9/10 for head & neck and 9/10 for general impression. The panel of judges described him as “A super sort of smaller native pony ideal for sports pony breeding – very good & typey that jumped with very good style”.

Autumn 2008 he attended The Sports Pony Society annual Broodmare & Youngstock Show achieving an SPSS first Premium scoring 10/10 for his head and neck 9.5/10 for shoulder/body/over line & 9/10 for limbs/feet – the judges comments included " fantastic and lots to like".

Autumn 09 he competed at Ingliston House Equestrian Centre International Pony Of The year Show in the Scottish Sports Horse 3 year old pony Loose Jumping Championships. He was judged and assessed by two international showjumping judges who scored him 8/10 for Scope, technique and suitability. With the highest score in his section 13 hands & under he then went on to take reserve champion in the final as well as the best turned out prize – a huge bottle of champagne. The judges commented on his great temperament and aptitude for showjumping. Later reports by the Scottish Sports Horse described him as "a beautiful grey colt".

He has been lightly shown at county level as a youngster with good results, taking everything in his stride and never being fazed by big shows and stabling away from home.

He has also been fully vetted and licensed as a stallion with the Welsh Pony and Cob Society. He was backed and ridden away autumn 2009 proving to be a calm and sensible ride 100% in the heaviest of traffic regularly hacking out in the company of mares and other stallions.

We consider this lovely pony to be a superb sire for working hunter ponies, show hunter ponies and have the ability to produce amazing showjumping/event ponies.

His first crop of foals were born spring 2010 from mares ranging from Section A lead Rein ponies to small Thoroughbred mares. We were delighted with his first crop when crossed with TB mares the foals have more size but retain the fabulous pony influence and have the makings of super high-class performance ponies. Goodenbergh Sovereign whose dam is a Section A mare rewarded us at The BEF Futurity Evaluations by gaining a Higher First Premium in Sports Pony Foal Section and scoring Reserve Champion in the overall Showjumping Foal section. He is very kind and polite with his mares, the perfect gentleman.

Treacle as he is known at home will be available for stud after the Winter Championships 2011 for a limited time due to his competition commitments.

Show Results 2011 September 2011 he won the SPSS 5 year old Potential Showjumping Pony class at Southview he then went on to take overall Champion. Later he was awarded an SPSS Merit Award – Highest Placed Stallion - Youngest Rider & finally highest marks of the day overall. He jumped a lovely clear round with Maisey to be awarded 32/32 marks for his overall jumping round. For his style/technique potential & temperament he scored 9/10 the judge Gillian Milner commented, “Very accurate with a lovely rhythm has everything to excel in any sphere a stunning pony" 2010 Reserve Champion Sports Pony Stallion Grading, passed BSJA Showjumping Assessment Qualified PUK Confined Novice and Open Horselode Mixed height M&M WHP NPS/TopSpec Winter Championship first time out ridden by Jack Starkie 2009 Reserve Champion Scottish three-year-old Pony Loose Jumping Champs.
