Another day, another secret exposed about Clovercroft Hero of the Heart, USEF #1 Pony Hunter Stallion.

Secret #4: Hero has had many good friends during his life but is currently loving his relationship with his two best friends. His son, Clovermeade Heart of Gold, who lives on the other side of the fence hangs out with him most of the time. We have doubts about whether his friend Clancy is there for the right reasons. It seems like he just likes to show up to steal all the grain that drops on the ground at feeding time.

Day 2 of me divulging the deepest secrets about Clovercroft Hero of the Heart, the 2020, 2023 and 2024 #1 USEF Leading Pony Hunter Sire.

Secret #2: Hero is currently 25 and while he has mellowed with time, he has let us know that he is not ready to retire from his stallion duties. He says, "It doesn't feel like work if you love what you do". Fortunately, he knows he needs to keep his physique if he is going to attract the mares. The photo below is him this past June.

Hero has longevity in his genes. His mother lived well into her 30s. He has an older sister who is in great shape at 28, and his oldest foal, Clovermeade Bunny Side Up, was showing in the division into his early 20s.

After a lot of consideration, we have decided it is time to be open about some of the deepest secrets about Clovercroft Hero of the Heart, the 2020, 2023 and 2024 #1 USEF Leading Pony Hunter Sire. It's clear that his success has been shrouded in mystery. We will be pulling back the curtain over the next few days.

Secret #1 At age 25, the only people who have ever seen Hero have come to us. He has never been off of our property in Tennessee. We are not even sure that this hillbilly has even been on a trailer.

Clovermeade Playing Cupid (Olive) has won all our hearts over the past 7 months. She has loved attention since day one. At about a week old, she decided that she should be able to jump into your lap. After a serious discussion she realized that this might not be as cute when she gets older. Her manners are now impeccable, but she is still as cute as ever.

Olive's two older sisters are at preparing for the division and she will join them the in a couple of years. For now, we are just happy to get to love on her.

Every day with horses and ponies that you don't deal with a major injury or illness is a day to be thankful for. This happened yesterday. I am sparing you the before picture, but it was fist deep and on the way to the vet, we were mentally preparing for the worst. Luckily, he missed all major structures and it looks like he will recover well.

We are so fortunate to have many excellent veterinarians in our area. Thank you to Dr. Alvaro Bonilla at Tennessee Equine Hospital for your excellent job stitching this guy up and your amazing horse side manner!

Our pretty little girl is growing up too fast! Clovermeade Tupelo Honey has been perfect since day one. It's hard to admit that she is a weanling now.

She is the first foal and a carbon copy of Clovermeade Heart of Gold. Dad is a full sibling to Clovermeade Heartthrob, Clovermeade Heartfelt, Clovermeade Heartbreaker and Clovermeade Pop Secret. Make your own version next year. Clovermeade Welsh Ponies ships live cooled.

It was such a great weekend at Harrisburg! Congratulations to Reilly Robertson and Clovermeade Heartthrob for winning Reserve in the Small Pony Hunters.

This pair won the small pony stake with a 92 and came in third in the overall Pony Stakes. 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks to the team at Rabbit Hill Farm for their wonderful work with these two amazing athletes!

I am so excited for our ponies to go at Harrisburg tomorrow! Two of them have a lot in common. Clovermeade Heartthrob and Clovermeade Heartfelt are full siblings.

We have another full sibling here, Clovermeade Heart of Gold, who we have kept as a stallion. He had his first foal this year and she looks like a carbon copy of him. He will be standing to outside mares via AI in 2025.
