It’s a C**t! Welcome WW Time to Echo 🌟

We are incredibly proud to announce the arrival of White Waters Time to Echo, born in the late hours of 1 August 2025, a strong, healthy, and beautifully built c**t with presence and personality from day one.

Sired by White Waters Time to Time, this special foal is the second from this exciting young stallion, out of the exquisitely bred Mythos Eowyn, a mare admired for her exceptional quality and now shining in her new role as a devoted and attentive mother.

With White Waters On Time as grandsire, this c**t carries forward a lineage rich in performance and refinement. One of only two foals in our breeding line-up this year, we are beyond thrilled with his safe arrival after an uncomplicated and smooth pregnancy.

We see something truly special in WW Time to Echo, and look forward to watching him unfold into his full potential.

🌟 Celebrating Excellence! 🏆
Nottinghill Equestrian Estate’s head groom and stable manager, Themba Mhlongo, has written his name into the history books at the 2025 SA Showjumping Championships in Shongweni. Competing in the 90 cm SA Championship Class, Themba outshone a field of 63 riders to claim the national title!
✨ Highlights:
• Consistent across all three rounds: 8th, 5th and then 1st place to secure the championship.
• Helped the Mpumalanga–Eastern Cape team take gold in the 90 cm interprovincial competition.
• Started competing only four years ago under the guidance of Fling and Kraai Kamffer, and now stands as a South African champion.
This victory is a proud moment not only for Themba, but for the entire Nottinghill team—proof that dedication, teamwork, and passion for horses can take you to the very top.

Ride with the wind Fling!

Flying the Flag at Shongweni 🇿🇦🐎 This week, Fling Kamffer heads to the iconic arenas of the Shongweni Club for the 2025 Westown SA Adult Showjumping Championships, running from 6 to 10 August. It's a true highlight on the national showjumping calendar.

With eight horses across a spectrum of classes, from 1.00 m through to the demanding 1.35 m, it’s a jam-packed week of focus, finesse, and firepower. Among them, White Waters O’ Lavey Shalih and Capital Cullinan will take on the 1.30 m and 1.35 m tracks respectively. Afri-Guard Capital Capella adds further firepower in the 1.30 m, while Blouberg Casino steps into the 1.20 m class. In the 1.10 m, White Waters Time to Time takes the stage, with White Waters Iolite Campio, Afri-Guard Callaho Con de Buissy, and Ancaro’s C’est la Vie all contesting the 1.00 m division. Each horse brings something unique to the ring, and every round is a reflection of partnership, patience, and deep preparation.

Fling also rides this week as part of the Mpumalanga Provincial Team in the 1.00 m, 1.10 m, 1.20 m and Open Team classes, representing her province across all levels of the championship.

Behind every rider is a team that makes it all possible. Huge thanks go to JJ Terblanche for his expert bodywork and fascia therapy on the horses. Their comfort, range, and soundness are a credit to his care. Deep appreciation also goes to Farrier Jako de Klerk for his consistent attention to detail and exceptional hoof care that keeps these athletes balanced, sound, and competition-ready.

And from Fling herself, heartfelt thanks to her mom, Kraai Kamffer, and her trainer, for their unshakable love, support, and guidance through every challenge and triumph.

None of this would be possible without the incredible backing of our sponsors. Thank you to Epol, and to Vermate & Thermal Mud, for keeping our horses healthy, happy, and ready to jump their hearts out.

To Fling: ride bold, ride true, and trust the work that’s brought you here. Your team, your province, and your horses are behind you every step of the way.

Let’s go make it count!
