After seeing probably the worst start to the foaling season that I’ve ever seen I thought I’d do a post regarding foal prices.

I do not think buyers should be shocked when the prices of foals this year increase significantly from reputable breeders.
This winter has been horrific, the amount of rain that has come down has been staggering.
The amount of vets I’ve seen go to mares and foals and the amount of foster mares and foals going is heartbreaking.
The loss of a foal or mare is significant to any breeder, not only emotionally but financially also.

So please when you’re going to look for your new four legged companion do not be nasty to breeders when they tell you a price, it’s not for the faint hearted.
They shouldn’t be running at a loss, so if a foal is not in your budget please do not be offended and be realistic. The hours of care, sleepless nights and constant worry isn’t factored into their price tag as it cannot be valued so please be considerate.

And to all the breeders out there, I salute to you all. It’s been a tough year so far and I hope it is more positive going forward than it has been for others this year.
Keep your heads up, youre all doing fantastic❤️

Well as the months pass and I seem to disappear off the face of the earth I thought I’d give you all an update.

After keeping it to myself for a while I’m happy to announce why I’ve been so quiet!
Everything has been a bit of a whirlwind and I’ve had days I feel totally overwhelmed.
So here to is to probably minimal updates, hacking out with my best friend in the entire world, and hopefully a season of riddens next season whether I’m on board or not.

It’s not a goodbye just a holiday while I have some me time.
There will still be updates and still bismuth cobs in the future.
Donnie is still available for stud too✨

All our love and thank your for your continued support, Rhianna, the cobs and bump ❤️

15/08/2023

After some radio silence but a much needed break I’m back!

Hell of a lot going on but at least I have this gorgeous man to look at daily ❤️

06/07/2023

Next up on the cobs is our lovely Bismuth Top Boy
Aka Kobe.

Kobe is by our resident stallion Thorneynewside Master Joe and out of Corscaron Mali Hanna.
Now 2 years old he’s truly landed on his feet in his home.

He is a rather striking boy with his dark buckskin colour and super light face, really stands out from the crowd without losing any of his true Welsh cob qualities❤️
Again not only bred for looks he’s a real dude to deal with and a nice person all round.

Huge amount of success showing already with this only being his first season out✨

28/06/2023

So thought I’d do a few updates on our previous foals.

First up with have Boris (aka Bismuth Edwin’s Gift)
Boris was the first we bred here at Bismuth and is by Azgard Welsh Cob Stud’s Azgard Flash of Gold.

He’s now 3 which I’m honest I can’t believe I’m saying, and has been kept entire.
He’s got a great track records of placing inhand and was purchased to pursue a ridden career with his lovely owners Beth and Eadwina.

Still as horizontal as he was when he arrived in the world, and still as charismatic, what a boy 💚

Yearling Section D filly

Thorneynewside Master Joe X Corscaron Mali Hanna

27/05/2023

Absolutely top class filly available 👀🏡

Bismuth Persephone

A filly to be full up 14.2 that oozes presence and substance.
Buckskin, one small back white and a star.
She is incredibly straight, has great hock and knee action also.
Will make a superb addition to any stud, be a great youngster to bring on for the shows and equally for the riddens in the future.

Mali and her exquisite filly.

Officially a month old and she’s such a lump! So much bone and depth!
Now this is a section D!!!

🔱🔱 HOW MUCH DOES A FOAL COST❓️🔱🔱

Let me say some words to you, yes to you, the person who whatsapp just to ask for the price. The person who calls, hears the price and says "oh I can buy that cheaper somewhere else". I'm talking to you too: the person who doesn't care about papers because I'm looking for "just a leisure horse" and "I don't care about documents".

NO FOAL is "just a leisure horse".
Behind every purebred foal is a BREEDER. I use capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a backyard breeder or a pet factory because there is no better word. A reliable breeder does not breed foals without papers that protect the integrity of the breed.

Registration papers are ancestral records that document the bloodline and allow you to investigate possible health issues in your lineage
If you tell a breeder you don’t care about the papers, just tell him you don’t about the health of the foal, you just want the cheapest you can find!

When you decide to buy a foal from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of each foal.
This breeder will skip vacations and weekends, miss sleep and spend most of his personal time devoted to his horses and their welfare. The truly passionate breeder who loves what he breeds, puts all his time into it.
Not just for foals that are sold but for every customer who has a piece of their heart and now joined their extended family!

Breeders worry about their babies after they move and take them back without question.

A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything that comes with birth. Cos thats what life is all about... Between birth and life there is also death... this is part of it. It rips the breeder's heart out. But it's the wheel of life that keeps turning.

A breeder conducts ultrasound, analysis, vet emergency, vaccinations, registrations, research pedigree, deworming, farrier appointments and provides the base start for the future of foal in foal ABC, loading training, cleaning, spraying, leading, accustoming to environmental influences...

Last but not least, a breeder CHOOSES the family that is lucky enough to have one of their foals. Yes, you read that right.
A real breeder decides WHO he sells to. And that never goes "over the price".

There really is no compensation that can beat a breeder's investment.
A good breeder has different criteria for the one who wants to continue his bloodline or buy a foal from his offspring, why? Because breeding isn't a responsibility to take lightly, it's a lifestyle choice reserved ONLY for the few dedicated people who are willing to, because a foal is never "just a pet" or a "vacation horse".

The foal is the breeder's legacy, a little boy's best friend, a little girl's caretaker, a therapy for the elderly, a family member, someone's whole world - until the day it moves out and then for the new owner!

COPY AND POST IT WITH YOUR OWN PICTURE.
Worth sharing an article written with so much truth and heart blood. Responsible breeding and owning several horses is a lifestyle and commitment many fail to understand:

7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Our life revolves around horses!

Found it perfect and so true written and therefore shared ❤️

Would anyone be potentially interested in a raffle for a covering off Donnie?

Just thought I’d potentially do this with the uprising costs of everything and it is an opportunity for someone to breed their own but may not have the spare lying around.

Just a thought but would rather know if there’s interest!

Anyway here’s the main man in his scruffs as I’ve still not trimmed him up 🤣

28/04/2023

The filly that seems to be getting better and better each day 🤣

Names we have so far..

🌙 Bismuth Lleuad Pinc 🌙
🖤Bismuth Bonnie Tyler 🖤
💓Bismuth Glamorous 💓

24/04/2023

So now she’s unfolded I cannot put into words how impressed I am with this filly.

Everything we aim to breed and more, she’s destined to be very special ❤️

Also still nameless and will be available, so chance to pick names is an option too 🥰

11/04/2023

Our HUGE 2 day old welsh D filly!

Cannot believe the amount of bone she has already 🤯

BISMUTH ??????

10/04/2023

So yesterday morning I welcomed this beautiful filly into the world!
She is still hasn’t got an name so we are open to suggestions here!

She has got so much unfolding to do and is very friendly so it’s hard to get pictures of her as she’s always in your face 🤣

Over the moon with this not so little lady ❤️

09/04/2023

Big filly born this morning!!! ❤️❤️❤️

14/03/2023

So the truth is I’ve been a little bit absent with everything going on and life has been a bit wild.

However having this boy here has truly changed my perspective on things, my girls are staying where they are but having Don at the Livery, god I love work even more each day.

So Dons had a bit of a shift in routine, he’s used to being well let’s say my darling dearest boy, but now he’s part of the clan.
He gets to go out with others, a set routine everyday, consistent work, and I must admit he’s never been happier❤️

Sometimes you’ve got to just take the plunge and do what makes you happy, and I finally think I’ve got back that bit of spark I’ve been missing.
I’ve got to say thanks to all those that have stuck by me, you know who you are, I can’t wait to hopefully see you all out again this season, with cobs in tow🥰

11/03/2023

Happy 3rd Birthday to our first bred at Bismuth!
The beautiful Bismuth Edwin’s Gift❤️

Cannot believe that’s it’s 3 years ago today he entered the world in a very timely manner at 8.30am on his due date.

Eadwina and Beth please give him a big kiss from me ❤️

20/02/2023

Yesterday evening I lost my complete and utter hero, my inspiration, my best friend who was my grandfather David.

A gentleman who showed me nothing but love, compassion, and adored me in every way possible.
My biggest supporter along with my nanna who never missed a moment, he was always there at ringside, riding lessons cheering me on and was the reason I live and breathe horses today.
I have experienced ups and downs in my life but David was always a constant and had a riddle or a rhyme to make me smile, he always made me see the brighter side of everything.

We have so many memories together whether that be evenings where I went to pony club and he took me out to tea after to do my homework, days where we went out adventuring and 9/10 got lost and I was told “don’t tell your mum!”, going walking to see the horses down the road from his house, the endless trips to the yard to be with my own horses and the prep talks of it’s never the horses fault always pat them at the end of every ride.

Though I am totally heartbroken, I know he is at peace now and though show days now will certainly be missing a main member of the team I’m sure he won’t miss a minute; he never did here so he certainly won’t now.
I’ll miss the advice, the crap jokes and your sarcasm.

Promise I’ll do you proud with these “bloody horses”
I’ll make more time to focus on me.
I’ll always pat them and kiss them good night.
I’ll make sure everyone is okay and they are looked after.
I’ll wear my hat too.
I can’t promise I’ll keep my riding boots clean though as nobody cleaned them like you did, but I’ll damn well try😂

Thank you for everything, you are one of the reasons I am who I am.
You set this up so watch me do everything to the best of my ability.

I’ll love you forever, I’ll always be your girl❤️
But my god I can’t even put into words how much I’ll miss you.

07/02/2023

Finally a cob post,

My beautiful Mali, a face I will truly never tire of, though she has not always been the easiest in temperament (because how stubborn she is🫠)
Anyone that knows me well knows that Moo (as I call her at home) holds a very special place for me. I would have a yard full of her if I could.
Though everyone may not appreciate her as much as I do as she is pocket sized I wouldn’t change one bit of her🥰

Due in 59 days a repeat breeding as I have been so happy with it.. roll on spring, we are ready ✨

01/02/2023

Well I may as well announce my new venture!

This is Tavistock Livery
A part/full Livery yard in Lancashire!

If I’m honest this wasn’t something I was planning but something that presented itself when I truly believe it was needed it most. Feeling very lucky that I can wake up and do something I love everyday.

Horses will receive 5⭐️ care here, daily turnout whether it’s in our bark pen or in the fields we will be strip grazing.

Here’s to the future, even though patting ponies seemed to be something I would only achieve with my own, I’m now lucky enough to be greeted by not just welsh faces over the door but so many more.
I must admit it’s strange having ones that walk with their tails down and don’t snort all the time 🤣

31/01/2023

Hi everyone and happy new year!

Sorry about the radio silence life has been truly testing me as of recent.
Horses are all good, new venture for myself too as I start my own livery yard (Tavistock Livery if you’re interested)

Hope everyone is well and healthy! Fingers crossed this is the start of something good 🥰

20/12/2022

Happy Birthday to my favourite person to walk the planet, my Nanna.
Thank you for always inspiring me to be the best version of myself.
If I turn out half the woman you are I’ll be over the moon.

Have the best day, from me and all your grand horses 💕

06/12/2022

Frosty one this morning! ❄️

01/12/2022

Hi all apologies for the remote silence AGAIN everything has been a bit hectic at the minute!

ANYWAY

I am advertising Donnie for stud for the 2023 season to a VERY limited amount of mares.
We can AI and ship worldwide! And cover naturally too!

Message for details price reduced for first few mares 🥰

26/11/2022

Always take the opportunity, as you don’t know when you won’t be able to look through those ears.
Give them that pat at the end, you are all they know 🖤

05/11/2022

Honestly not often am I lost for words but here I am, who has a display this close to livestock?
Good job mine are rock solid 🤦🏽‍♀️

If I ever decided to sell up I can safely say bombproof 😂

27/10/2022

Before 💀 and After ✨

So everyone who knows me and knows Mali is aware she would rather be left alone and only comes to me when she either wants or needs something.

Well tonight she didn’t really get an option seeing as she resembled a fell pony from a distance if she didn’t have such a beautiful face you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference 🤦🏽‍♀️

Anyway! Mane sorted and groomed to her utter disgust 🤣

18/10/2022

The first we bred here at Bismuth 🖤

Bismuth Edwin’s Gift, 2yo c**t.
His owners have got him looking superb and I can’t wait to see this boy with a saddle on, he’s made for the ridden job 😮‍💨

Thank you Beth and Eadwina for giving him the best home I could of asked for 🥰

24/07/2022

Bismuth Bossy Boots our beautiful Smokey black section D filly, I could stare at her all day 😍😍😍

20/07/2022

Don’t normally post about things like this but utterly shocked at the commentary for the royal Welsh on the live stream saying men should run cob stallions and they show them better than women..
And people wonder why there isn’t many women showing the cob stallions🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Our HUGE 2 day old welsh D filly! Cannot believe the amount of bone she has already 🤯 BISMUTH ??????

Back again! Weaning is done and Sassy (as we have been calling her) is settling beautifully into her new stabled lifestyle. So sociable, friendly and easy to deal with. Weaning is always a hard one as some take it so well and others don’t, as you know I’m always honest with you! The first week I’m on pins 😂 I like to say that we try and get foals to see as much as they can young so nothing is too overwhelming in their later years, as you can see the drill is no bother! She’s seen lights being changed and my wonderful other half has been so patient and reassuring while doing bits around the yard to really make sure she doesn’t associate anything negatively. Now very happy for me to take her headcollar on and off, catch her in her stable and lead round. As a small stud things like this mean the world to me, these ponies aren’t pound signs, just members of the family that I’m so lucky to call mine. Feel so lucky to be able to give these babies the starts in life they deserve, they will never want for anything here and I know in their homes they won’t either! If you’re looking to buy yourself please consider these little things when purchasing especially from us smaller studs, we really do take so much pride in what we do!! Sorry for the long post! Hope you have all had a lovely weekend! 💜

Two peas in a pod 🥰

Been out since early doors this morning and comes in for his hay? You’d think he’s not seen food all day 😂

The countdown is on… 8 weeks remaining 😬🤩

Don is a rock 99% of the time but every so often we just don’t quite see the monsters hiding in the bushes 👹😂 WELL SAT BETH 🤣

Me and my gorgeous man Thorneynewside Master Joe. Super new to the ridden job but taking it all in his stride 🤓 Mountainhare Maximus X Thorneyside Royal Princess
