We are pleased to offer "Moose" for your consideration. C**t, born June 1, 2021. F.E. Copper Top (CSH) x Lady Celia (Tb). Will finish over 17hh. His full brother is over 16hh at 2 and still growing and his dam has never thrown a foal who finished under 17hh. Excellent event or hunter/jumper prospect. Priced in the high-mid 4 figures.

"Moose" (by F E. Copper Top, born June 1st) and his mom, Lady Celia, out enjoying the beautiful weather. He's a big boy, even bigger than his full brother, Cracker! Can't wait to see what this little rascal turns out like as he grows ❤ He is for sale, if anyone is looking for a fantastic hunter/jumper/event prospect who will almost certainly finish over 17hh!

Been a while since I've posted updates on Cracker and Tori.

Cracker is now just over 3 months old and getting so big. He is close to 13hh and I have no doubt that he will end up well over 17hh when he's done. Despite his size, he's growing into a solid lad, never gangly or awkward. A bit mottly looking right now, it looks like he may be getting his daddy's rich chestnut colour! Can't wait until he finishes shedding that fosl coat. Cracker will be available for sale at weaning, though we are in no rush. This special young man will go far with the right rider!

Tori is 3.5 weeks old, and quite the refined little lady. She has lots of personality and a mind of her own. Thankfully she no longer seems inclined to jump out of her paddock... the big field gives her lots of room to run. Tori is definitely a fancy filly, despite her lack of bling, and only time will tell what she will turn out like. We have not decided whether we will be offering Tori for sale.

First day out in the big field. Everyone is enjoying the sun.

Recently I have become involved in helping preserve a rare Indigenous pony/horse. Nearly driven to extinction by colonists and missionaries (who thought it indecent for children to see animals copulating), four mares were rescued in an effort to preserve the breed. The breeding pool is very small, and because of the small founding population, every effort is needed to keep diversity in the gene pool. And this is where the current crisis lies.

Several long-time breeders are retiring, leaving a large number of these ponies in need of new (breeding) homes. Amongst them are 14 stallions - nearly half of the entire breed's stallion population. Several are likely to end up gelded, and homes are desperately needed for others.

There are several ways that help is needed. Short term fosters are needed for the ponies that need to move now (including pregnant mares and mares with foals). Long term breeding homes are needed (especially for stallions). Funding to help with collecting and freezing semen from the stallions who must be gelded due to a lack of suitable homes. Funding to help transport ponies to available homes (most are west of here).

Any help is welcome. Please check out the video and feel free to contact me or the poster of the video to learn more. Thanks for looking.

Outside for the first time. Finny was still not too sure about this stranger who arrived in her stall last night. By the end of the day she was thoroughly bonded and super protective. She's going to be a great mom. And Tori is very sweet and soooo butt high. Can't wait until she catches up with herself. The vet thought she looked great. Very happy with our last 2019 foal.

It was so chilly on Saturday that we decided that Cracker should try on his blanket. A little small... though he probably won't need it again anyway. Let's say he wasn't terribly impressed ;)

Congratulations to Rebecca Musselman for her brand new Copper baby. Good job Ruby! (S)he is beautiful!
