Mare grading ahead, lessons behind!

Ircos Mysteree Elhee (Ellie) is going for SPSS mare grading on Saturday. Its being held at the fantastic Bury Farm Equestrian Centre which has never been used by a studbook before – We are the first!!

Ellie has been beautified, trimmed and tidied to within an inch of her life, and looks fantastic. She is having a bath on Friday – Will take a photo of her in her PJ’s – We use Snuggy Hoods

Looking forwards to the weekend and seeing lots of pony people, and having a catch up – hopefully bringing home a pretty ribbon in the process!

As for the behind bit, I had lessons last night on C. Arctic Kiss (Callie) – just a short, checking we are going the right way session with her, and about 40-45mins on Paler Shade of Grey (Holly) who was absolutly fantastic, and felt very mature in the contact and confident in her work, which is unusal for her, as her biggest issue is tension usually!

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.

We have three mares at the moment, who are all different ages and stages of training.
