Been busy….

Firstly clipped the worked ponies – Holly and Callie that is, so they are completely naked, with just legs and half face’s left on. They are wrapped up in their smart new Weatherbeeta rugs.

Ellie is getting rounder, and is seeming quite chilled at the moment. She is the ‘giant’ of her field, standing 14.1h, as the others are all 12.2h and below!!! She is loving being out with babies and youngsters. Fingers crossed that is a good sign for her impending motherhood!

Have also spent time clipping for other people this winter – I find it very theraputic, turning a scruffy, hairy beast into a smart, sleek animal.

Not long til Christmas now – all ready to go!!!

Took Holly out with the Readyfield Bloodhounds on Rememberance Sunday. Absolutly gorgeous day for the meet, and in a lovely setting – Proper Leicestershire countryside.

Achieved a lifetime first – we jumped a 5 bar gate!

Sorry! But off to play with the bloodhounds….

Sorry for the lack of updates – have been super busy!

Clipped Holly & Callie last week – Holly was her normal silly self, Callie stood like a rock. What a fantastic baby pony!

Went cubbing with the Readyfield Bloodhounds last Sunday on Holly. Had an absolutely superb day. Excellent ground, excellent hospitality, excellent jumping. What more can you ask for of a day?

Callie is growing up fantastically, and I measured her to approximately 141.5cm, so shes heading in the right direction too. Ellie is getting a noticeably bigger tum, even though she seems to be trying to hold it in as much as possible!

Introducing ourselves…

We are a small, family run enterprise (by family run I really mean me – Hannah and Dad – John) that specialises in event ponies, breeding and producing.

I am part of the Sports Pony Studbook Society (SPSS),  also I am part of the British Young Breeders programme, I was fortunate to take a place on the Anglo European Studbook Senior team to go to France in July 2011. Unfortunatly pony studbooks were not eligible to send teams.
