2007

In 2006 we were lucky enough to have the use of the lovely golden dun stallion Kerswell Muscat (loaned from the Halstock/Blackerton Stud). So this spring we were eagerly awaiting the arrival of his foals.

June 8 2007  Royal Cornwall Show.  Mignon Poppy again won 3rd prize.

Between June and September we went to several shows, taking Mignon Poppy and the yearling Onahill Quickilver.  Both ponies won numerous rosettes.  The final show was at Crealy, near Exeter, where our piebald Birchwood Gypsophelia won the mare class.  A very good end to the showing season.

In May 2007, the lovely tri-coloured stallion, South Sands Pip, came to for the summer, kindly on loan from the Halstock stud.  We look forward to seeing his foals next spring."

19 May -  Devon County Show,  3 year old filly, colt or gelding class.  Mignon Poppy won 3rd prize which is a great result for a homebred pony.  We were really pleased!

06/05/2007.  This marked the start of the show season for us with a visit to the Crealy Shetland Show near Exeter.  We took only one pony, Mignon Poppy and are pleased to report that she came 1st in the Owner Bred class and was 3rd in the 2 year old class.  Not a bad start to the year and let's hope it continues this well, 

08/04/2007.  On Easter Monday we were surprised to find that one of our mares, Birchwood Prettiness, had foaled 4 weeks early to give us the most gorgeous cream dun colt. He was only 18" high when born but what he lacks in height he makes up for with personality.

2006 

After a long, cold and wet winter, at last spring has arrived and with our new foals.  These are all sired by the piebald stallion Parlington Orson.  Firstly, on  May 1st, our homebred mare Mignon Hannah produced a lovely chestnut and white skewbald filly.  She was followed, on May 6th, by a super, tiny, pibald colt from Birchwood Gypsophelia.  On May 9th, Tawna PomPom gave us our 3rd baby, another skewbald filly.  More details can be found on the Foal pages. 

2005

2005 has brought us 3 lovely foals all by New Park Sundance.
Also this year, we have with our mares, on loan from David Hodge of the Halstock Stud, the piebald stallion Parlington Orson. He will introduce some completely new blood to our breeding programme.
