27th November 2010 - on the 13th Franhwerd Esme attended the NPS Autumn Festival and Foal Show, achieving a well deserved first place in the class 'Pony to make future Leid Rein!

5th November 2010 - After much waiting, cremello mare Fosterhouses Florentina finally joined the stud yesterday - thank you very much Jill for letting me have her!  She is in foal to Blackvein Sundown for 2011.  I will add photos of the new ponies as soon as the weather permits a photo session of them, mud and winter coats included!

1st November 2010 - Franhwerd Esme attended her first ever show yesterday, at EWPCA at Lordsbridge Arena, Cambridge.  She came a respectable 5th out of 10 in a good class, and was very well behaved.

On Saturday, Chanwin Sidan joined the stud.  She is an excellently bred dilute black pony, very chunky, and a proven broodmare and lead rein pony too!

4th October 2010 - I took Nineoaks Esmeralda to Newton Hall PUK/Equifest/Autumn show yesterday, where she was shown by Liesl and won both her classes and the championship, qualifying for PUK and Equifest!  A good start to her showing career, in muddy conditions.

I have now brought Esmeralda and Pearl home for the winter, and have taken Franhwerd Esme to Liesl's to attend some foal shows.

27th September 2010 - Exciting news!  I purchased Nineoaks Esmeralda at the Fayre Oaks sale this weekend, (thanks to Liesl of Wensley stud for assisting and attending).  She is currently at Liesl's and I am looking forward to her show results in the future.

30th August 2010 - Northfields Pearl came third at the Home Counties Welsh Association show, a pleasing result with strong competition.

19th August 2010 - A couple of weeks ago I had a lovely email from the current owners of Blaidd Rebecca's first foal, a filly called Craigyparc Ria, or 'Mouse', by Kingsmead Barnum.  She was born in 2005 and is now being a star as a lead rein show pony for the owner's young daughter, also called Rebecca!  It was so nice to hear from them, and I hope they will keep me updated with their progress.  I would like to wish them lots of luck and most of all fun with her.

10th July 2010 - Northfields Pearl made her debut at the Tendring show today.  She enjoyed herself, went well and looked gorgeous, gaining second place in her class!  Thanks to Liesl of Wensley stud for showing her for me.

4th July 2010 - Baringa went to his new home today, going to miss him lots!  I know he's going to be much loved and enjoy his life with his new owners, so good luck to them!

14th June 2010 - Rebecca was scanned in foal at 24 days, fingers crossed for the next 10 or so months!  Baringa has now been sold and will be leaving for his new home in a couple of weeks.

17th May 2010 - Baringa was gelded last week. Rebecca was covered by Andreas on the 11th & 12th, fingers crossed that she took.

5th May 2010 - on Monday I picked up my latest addition - Northfields Pearl. She is another very sweet pony with an excellent pedigree and conformation and I am very pleased to have been able to buy her! She will be produced by Liesl at Wensley stud for me and is a future wife for Andreas.

24th April 2010 - I have made the decision to geld and sell Baringa, as I believe his future lies as a show pony, perhaps ridden or driven once he is broken next year at 3. Please see for sale page or contact me for details.

30th March 2010 - Blaidd Rebecca foaled last night, just under 2 weeks early. Lovely filly foal, dun to go grey, 3 white socks and a white blaze. Thankfully an easy birth! Ideally I would like the foal to go to a loan home on weaning, but may be willing to sell. Please contact me for details. Will update with pictures as she grows up!

5th February 2010 - Farchynys Andreas arrived nearly 2 weeks ago and has settled in nicely now. He is an absolute sweetheart!

9th January 2010 - Exiting news! Stacey of Lledrith Stud has very kindly let me purchase Farchynys Andreas off her. Very pleased with my new purchase, one of the few remaining 100% Coed Coch stallions left in the world - see Stallion page. Can't wait to pick him up after the snow has cleared.  He will be standing at stud to the public at Wensley Stud later this year - Contact me for details.

6th December 2009 - DNA test results for Baringa's colour genetics have arrived.

17th May 2009—Baringa’s second show—Calverton Horse & Pony Show. He won 1st, Reserve Champion and Best Yearling Cremellos!

10th May 2009—sending Rebecca to be covered by Farchynys Andreas, fingers crossed all goes well! Scanned in foal 28 days after picking her up again, will keep fingers crossed the rest of the pregnancy goes well.

1st February 2009—Baringa achieved a third and a fourth place at his first show outing at Longwood Equestrian Centre. Excellently behaved, very pleased with him!

29th September 2008—Rebecca and Baringa are finally brought home.
