Alchemy Stud & Equestrian Centre

A strong and consistent weekend for the yard at the 2026 Toyota Easter Festival, with a number of combinations producing confident rounds and showing good progression throughout the show.

There were multiple clear rounds across the grades, along with consistent placings. Several riders and horses stepped up to higher levels, gaining valuable experience in a competitive environment.

It was pleasing to see the overall consistency, with both new and established combinations improving as the show went on and maintaining a good standard both in and out of the ring.

Well done to Team Alchemy on your achievements over the past few weeks. A short break now before the shows continue again.

Thank you to Toyota and Kyalami Equestrian Park for a fantastic show.

A very pleasing weekend for the yard and a strong start to the season, with encouraging performances across the board.

Natalie had an excellent weekend. Baldor stepped up confidently to the 1.20m level, showing maturity and consistency at height. With What’s Up Z, she continues to build momentum and is not far off the 1.30m classes. The progression is very positive.

Tate delivered a quality 1.20m round with just one rail, demonstrating consistency and confidence at that level.

In the 1.10m Championship class, Mirabelle finished 14th in her first time at that level, in a competitive field of 70 horses, an excellent milestone. In the same championship, George and Alchemy Dijon secured 7th place, a strong and well-earned result in a highly competitive class.

Mirabelle also had a fantastic weekend in the dressage with some great results on Alchemy Zara and Dexter.

Alchemy Aria and George competed in the 1.10m classes, jumping consistently and continuing to build confidence and experience.

Overall, a weekend that reflects steady progress, competitive performances, and the standard we aim for, translating from home into the ring.
