We had a lovely day at Warren Farm with Hammy (Hamilton), JJ (Carnsdale Dun Vision), Autumn (Carnsdale Top Totty), and (Hello) Juno. All ponies jumped great and we came home with four wins, two 2nds and a Championship!

It was Autumn that took the Novice WHP Championship after winning the 15hh class. She also won the mixed-height Open WHP.

Juno won a training stakes class with Charlotte and Hammy finishing 2nd. Juno also finished 2nd in the Novice 15hh WHP.

Another happy client! - 21/10/13

Two very happy girls with their new pony!

We wish Seren and Hallie the very best of luck with Mickey -Carnsdale Mickey Finn. We have a feeling he will be loved very much!

Horse of the Year Show
9/10/2013 - 13/10/2013

Luck just wasn't on Poppy's side this year. She and Alice jumped a fantastic round but two very slight rubs ended with two poles on the floor, but that's horses!

Glen and Millpond Look So Cheeky had two fences down late in the course, but we were all so pleased with his jumping debut at 'the World's Most Famous Horse Show'.

Poppy will now have a well deserved break after an outstandingly successful season.

Barton E.C. Pre-HOYS Show - 05/10/2013

What a great day - 3 wins!
It was Poppy's last show before HOYS and she jumped lovely to win the 15hh WHP. Kevin (Millpond Look So Cheeky) also picked up a red rosette in the Novice 14hh WHP, and a 3rd place in the Open - another good preparation for next week's Horse of the Show! Charlotte's 4-year-old Hammy rounded-off the hit-trick by winning his Novice M&M class, and JJ jumped a lovely clear too!

Schooling - September 2013

While some of the ponies are having a well-deserved break, most of the younger ones are continuing their education. We recently brought a handful of the babies to a local ménage to jump them around different jumps an fillers. They were all brilliant!

We have also got another lovely new pony to school for a client, a coloured 14hh called Kevin (Millpond Look So Cheeky). He's such a dude, and a very exciting WHP prospect for next year! Kevin is already a very successful 'flat' pony with huge success in the coloured and show hunter pony classes

Royal International Horse Show, Hickstead - 30/07/2013 - 04/08/2013

Carnsdale Beltane Poppy and Alice jumped amazing to come 5th with just one - very, very unlucky - pole. The slight rub of the second-last jumping effort cost her the winners sash as she would have won by a distance if clear! We are still delighted with how she jumped though.

Carnsdale Mickey Finn - 4yo 13hh Connemara

The team had a very busy and hot day at Cheshire County! Autumn was an absolute star winning the Novice 15h WHP, she jumped a super round, in very good company! Poppy was mega in the HOYS qualifier where she came third - this is the third time she has just missed out on her HOYS ticket!
