Get behind this!

Fantastic news!

We are delighted that the UK Government announced a Bill to ban live exports to slaughter today, as part of its legislative agenda for the year ahead.

We now need this proposed Bill introduced to the UK Parliament as a matter of urgency, and passed into law before the next General Election.

Take our action now to ask your local MP to support this Bill and ensure its smooth passage through the House of Commons.

So who is Rosie Pony and what is she here for?!

I thought I’d wait and give you an update from her previous owner who could also give her full background and why she has now ended up with me . See the photos above of her history and journey so far.

You can see by the post made by her previous owner Heather and daughter India; how much they truly love Rosie. Finding her the right home was super important to them. She is such a well bred Connemara that they could easily have sold her to anyone for quite a considerable sum, even as just a brood mare, but they didn’t. They chose me and I was the lucky one able to buy her. It’s nice to know there are those out there who really and truly care for their horses and that finding the right happy ending is far more important than monetary gains.

I’m so glad they chose me to have her 🥰. She has settled so well and has become a firm favourite of my big horse Dougal 🤣.

I am so pleased to have Rosie here and cannot wait to start my own KC home bred ponies!

Paddy has found a new home!

Yesterday I said farewell to the gorgeous Paddy, now to be called Oakley. It was love at first sight for these two. He is to become this girls new best friend after recently selling her much smaller best friend onto pastures new.

These guys wanted a quality youngster to bring on and break in themselves and he fit the bill perfectly. Such a gentle lovely soul. Within moments of meeting him in the school he was following her everywhere which was just wonderful to see such an instant connection 💗💙.

This wonderful pony loaded up without even a hesitation, travelled home with no issues and then out to meet his new chestnut buddy at his new home. He has settled really well and so his new chapter begins. Wishing all the luck in the world to his new owners, who are just lovely and have promised him a forever home.

Cannot wait to watch these two grow together 🥰.

Lovely to get an update on Fiona yesterday.

Her new rider Max, who will be doing 148cms on her in the coming years; had his first proper jump on her at home yesterday.

She is currently being trained by his big sister whilst he’s still on the smaller ponies jumping in those classes.

Great to see them coming together as a partnership and excited for further updates!

Update!!! How special is this beautiful dun 4 year old mare…

Narla left me as an unbroken 3 year old. Due to personal circumstances I had to let her go earlier than I’d have liked but what a perfect choice this was… just look at her now! She went to the most wonderful of homes, to a mum and daughter who I now call my friends 🥰.

They have done the most amazing job with her. After doing lots of additional groundwork with her themselves, she then went off for professional breaking. They could have done it themselves, Brooke had already sat on her and could have continued from there… Brooke is a wonderful jockey, and her mum Laura has a great understanding of horses, but that was the right choice for them at the time… and she came back to them prepped and ready to go!

… and my my, was she ready to go! They have done lots of slow and steady training to begin with… beach rides, fun outings! They’ve then gone on to go out hunting numerous times, where Narla behaved impeccably! Since then, more showjumping, cross country and lessons at their new lovely yard.

So happy to watch this star pony continue her education! Lots more fun to be had this year for and her jockey Brooke. I cannot wait to follow their journey further, give them a follow as well to see another beautiful Connemara having the best life!

Update! You won’t believe this…

The gorgeous Fiona has been with her wonderful new owners now over three months!! …and what fun they have had with her since she arrived home. From arena hires, to popping cross country fences… and even some shows… she’s just gone from strength to strength and it’s so wonderful to see her doing what she is bred for and most importantly; LOVING IT!

It’s so important for me to find suitable homes for all my babies I produce. I bring them over from Ireland as complete blank canvasses and put a lot of groundwork in on all of them. Followed by the start of their ridden careers after breaking in. No ponies are ever rushed, and Fiona definitely needed time to settle when she first arrived! The transporter that dropped her off even said ‘you’ve got a sharp one here!’. He wasn’t wrong, she’d hardly been handled at all before I got her and was a challenge at the start.. but just goes to show you what a lovely breed they are, that with a little time, patience and understanding.. they come great in the end!

I truly couldn’t be happier with how she is getting on, and it’s wonderful to maintain contact with lovely new owners who send me updates and pictures, they are as proud of her as I am! This pony is being aimed at 148cm Showjumping classes with her junior jockey in the coming years. I really cannot wait to go and see them in some of the big finals at the top shows; as I just know Princess Fiona is destined to be a Top Track Pony on the circuit!
