BEECHWOOD GRANGE STUD - OPEN DAY 2003
A well-attended Open Day was enjoyed by over 300 guests on October 19th.
Proceedings commenced at 11 a.m. with a welcoming drink before the stallion parade got under-way at noon.
First on show was CLASSIC who has had a busy season this year, covering mares for all disciplines.
His progeny have been prolific winners in the show ring, both in hand and under saddle.

Next we had the
"Flying Grey", PARIS HOUSE.
Jack Berry who trained Paris to win 6 races from 10 starts said "he was the fastest horse he had ever trained over 5f".
