Last foal weaned today. Beautiful bay filly with no white on her. Kept company by another homebred bay filly with no white no her!
Both by our own stallions Outlaw and Gardie Moonstep

We take our time breaking in the young horses. We might not go as quickly as others, but I genuinely believe it pays off in the long run. The horses go at their own pace, and very rarely do we run in problems.
Nothing worse than pictures of a horse being ridden for the 2nd time, forced into an outline with white sweat coming out of it!

Literally what a clever cookie! First time in a saddle for cookie, no trouble at all 🍪

2nd of our foals has been weaned. Going to a lovely local family which will be so nice for us to see her grow up, as last year the shetlands went to Manchester, Wales and Devon!!

It's weaning time here, so that means the most important pony on the stud earns his keep.
Each foal gets weaned individually, so they get the full amount of time and handling put into them. They all start this process being accompanied by the wonderful Gizmo
Gizmo was a dummy foal who we bred. No idea how he survived but he did. He also has had numerous attempts at death since then! He has always not had the best health so we would never ever sell him, and he does such and important job in setting them foals up.
Here is baby Gizmo at 3 weeks old. Seems a long time ago

Busy weekend for us, great double clear for my own Wispa and stepping up a height. Very pleased with this difficult mare!
Today we took ponies up to the end of season championship show. Quite disappointing but that's life!
5th Gardie Moonstep miniature stallion
2nd Ardenbeag Mariposa miniature 4-6 year mare
3rd Hjaltland Pozie miniature broodmare
3rd Duneaton Firefly miniature foal
2nd Midgarth Lowrie miniature yearling

25/08/2024

Off we went to Blair on Friday for some pretty horrific conditions to jump in. Outlaw was a star and produced on of the few double clears.
Pozie was in the NPS finals against the standards shetlands so I knew we would get looked over ! So nothing for her sadly.
Very glad the next outing for horses and ponies is on a surface.

A trip out for Wispa at the weekend, who hasn't been out for awhile due to a very nasty abcess that burst to leave a large wound! A step up in height for her though and finished 5th in both her classes. Hopefully continue the way she is going and move her up again soon.

Another one of our foals due next year is Hjaltland Pozie x Gardie Moonstep
Pozie has been very lightly shown due to being a covid baby but this year has been shown 3 times
5th Royal highland
2nd Ayrshire group
1st and reserve champion Dumfries show
And qualified for nps Scotland finals at Blair.
Her foal this year has has won in the show ring and is a lovely filly. Full sister to her foal due next year.
May be retained if a filly

Thanks to Paul Harkness and Ellie Harkness for your help and company!
No pony pictures as yet, so puppy Pingu posed with rosette instead

27/07/2024

Next our of our foals for next year is Hjaltland Fearn x Gardie Moonstep.
Fearn has been a great mare for us and has always been in the rosettes, including a very credible 3rd at last years SPSBS breed show. She has produced 2 foals that have stood foal champion including one that we have retained.
Gardie Moonstep need no introduction. Only being out of the championship once this year (and that was a 3rd at RHS). He is champion in the ring and leaves me with super foals, he is also a delight to handle, and moves beautifully

24/07/2024

Today/yesterday is a difficult day for horse sport, and I genuinely worry about the future and what will happen?
Luckily the horses here are none the wiser, and are oblivious to the news!
We just keep trying to raise happy horses to make happy humans!

20/07/2024

These are not in correct order, as well all know horses don't play by the rules, but are expected combinations for next year.
Ballingown Estella x Jetstar
Estella aka stelly is a lovely big Irish bred mare by the 1m60 stallion Future Trend (I love you). Stelly was brought over by a 5* event rider, and started a very promising event career. She then sadly suffered any injury that meant she wouldn't return to competition. She bred a stunning foal for her owners, and then very kindly has come to me.
Jetstar has jumped up to 1m30 and is Cardento/burgaraff bred. His career has been limited in recent years due to human factors, and undoubtedly would have jumped bigger tracks over time.
This will be a big foal, with alot of power and scope. Will be retained if a black filly 🤣

18/07/2024

The lovely Pringle has now been reserved, and will be staying locally, which is always nice for us to see them grow up.
I will list the foals available with foals details shortly and happy to note interest in any of them 😀

Midgarth Lowrie ❤️

15/07/2024

Great day (if a long one!) at AYRSHIRE SHETLAND PONY GROUP summer show. Fantastic big entries. Thanks Lynda Cochrane for running the show, it's far more work than people realise!
Thank you Andy Thornley and Amanda Byers (and Gavin!) For all your help also!
Hjatland Fearn =4th miniature yeld mare
Duneaton Galaxy Edition = 4th members youngstock, and 4th miniature 2/3 year old
Gardie Moonstep=2nd miniature stallion, 5th broken coloured.
Hjaltland Pozie= 2nd miniature broodmare
Duneaton Firefly= 2nd miniature foal
Midgath Lowrie = 1st miniature yearling

Midgarth Lowrie then went on to be Junior Champion, the went on to be reserve overall miniature champion !! Collecting 2 beautiful trophies along the way

Most of all thank you to my good friend Carole Forteath breeder of Midgarth Lowrie. Wish we could go to shows together more often! But the 13 hour ferry trip is a bit of a pain❤️
