This is the 9th year Hillman has been in the displays. I will upload a snippet of this years musical ride- choreographed by me ☺️

Well I’ve been pretty bad at keeping up with this! 😂

So here’s the next “Meet the Ponies!”

This boy is Harthouse Hillman.
Hillman was bred by my gran, and is by Lowthwaite Gary, out of Tarnbeck Mona Lisa (our oldest mare a few posts down). He is also Honeys half-brother.
He was foaled in 2008, and backed in 2013.

I started riding Hillman in 2015, when I was 13. Our first ride together was in the open ridden fells at Broughton show- envision no brakes!!

Hillman is probably the most well know Harthouse pony, because of the effort and pizaz he puts into everything.
From his first jump in 2015, he has shown an almighty love for it, and has competed and won up to 75/80cm.

He takes part in showing every year, sometimes quite successfully, and also does Cross country, dressage, and mounted games.

Hillman has been part of some amazing things over the years, including the FPS Guard of Honour for HM The Queen, parading around Windsor Castle in 2016, and more recently a parade in the main arena at Burghley Horse Trials with the FPS Display Team!

He’s been an integral member of the display team since it began in 2015- sometimes having up to 4 different roles and riders in one 30 minute display!

At 16 this year, Hillman shows no signs of slowing down, but we’re enjoying taking part in the Veteran classes, although he doesn’t act his age 😊

So that is a brief summary of the superstar (and my favourite 🤫), Harthouse Hillman ❤️

Meet the Horses Day 4 🐴

Harthouse Honey is our next oldest. She is currently 16 years old and is homebred.
She is out of Waverhead Magic 3rd by Lownthwaite Gary.

Honey was backed when she was 7 and had a slow few years getting to grips being ridden. She has done a bit of everything, including inhand showing, dressage and learnt to jump in the last couple of years. She has been a member of the FPS Display Team since 2016/2017.

Honey never bred a foal, but has always been a reliable mare to get on at any time.
I don’t have lots of ridden pictures of her, as she is usually the ears in front of the camera 🥰

Currently, Honey is out of work and in to keep the broodmares company.

Little honey fact: she loves salt and mineral licks SO MUCH, that she actually overdosed herself on a mineral lick and gave herself mild colic 🤦‍♀️ she was fine after a couple of hours!

I seriously don’t know how this lad hasn’t been snapped up yet!

He only started being led at the weekend, and he is so unfazed by everything- even walking over bale wrap!!
He’s settled into a stable routine, and being turned out through the day.

Barney is ready to go now. He’s eating hard feed, stabled and leading.
Still learning the basics.

He is a great mover, and would make a great family pony/ Allrounder.

Meet the Horses Day 3

This lovely girl is Townend Damson.

Damson is 20 years old by Castle Hill Bellman, out of Townend Saffron.

Damson was bought as a foal in 2005 at the annual FPS auction by my Granny, Sal Stewart.

Damson was backed at 4, but didn’t have a career ridden as she was put in foal the same year. She foaled Harthouse Banner (by Lownthwaite Gary) the following year.

A couple of years later in 2012, she foaled Harthouse Hullaballoo (by Banksgate Jackdaw).

Since then, she was brought back into work for a short while but has been fully retired for a few years.
She lives her life on Corney Fell as a semi-feral mare alongside Tarnbeck Mona Lisa.

I hope you enjoyed instalment 3 of Meet the Horses ❤️

Day 2 of Meet the Horses!

It’s taken nearly 2 weeks to get to day 2 as we’ve all been really poorly here!

Our next oldest pony here at Harthouse is Jack.
Formally known as Scotgate Midnight Rebel, he is by Underwoods Gideon and out of Branthwaite Dinky.

Jack will be 23 this year and we’ve owned him since he was 9.
We bought Jack originally to get myself (Georgia) back into riding after losing my confidence.
He was bought as a ride and drive, and has done Pony club, showing, cross country etc.

Many fell pony people will recognise him as “Humpty Dumptys wall” at the FPS Breed show in 2014 🥰

Jack is very bad at loading, and when we did get to places he was often on his naughtiest behaviour. So in 2015, we decided to retire him from travelling.

He happily hacks out and also babysits well. He is definitely the joker of the herd, and many people think he’s only young as he certainly doesn’t act 23! Our farrier often remarks on the fact that “he can’t stand still” as Jack is always jingiling his headcollar or making his nose squeak up the glass on the stable windows 😂🤦‍♀️

Come back for day 3 where you’ll get to know Townend Damson ❤️
