*Sydserff Avalon aka Sonny aka Sonny Buns

There are not words for this one. The stallion of everyone’s dreams. He was always so proud of himself but so gentle that the kids could lead him around and ride him without even batting an ear. It’s hard to even put into words how loved he was. Our hearts are broken.
Hug your ponies tight. 💔

Last night we laid to rest Ballencrief’s Cameo. She was the queen of the farm and Kathy’s best friend. The epitome of a Connemara pony, she taught tons of kids and adults to ride and was the sweetest horse you have ever met. I’ll never forget years ago Kathy leaving her in the breezeway and walking to the mounting block, climbing up to the top step and calling “Cameooooo come on come on!” and cameo walked right over to the mounting block for her to get on. In her later years she was so lucky to have had Amy Taylor to show her a little bit and then love and care for her even when she couldn’t be ridden anymore. Everything a horse deserves in retirement. We love you so much Cameo and are so grateful for everything you gave us in your 27 years here on earth ❤️🕊️

This picture made us laugh so hard! Monarch is not a very small pony, he is 14.2h but his new friend Captain on the right makes him look like a miniature horse! 😆

For all those impressed with *Castle Monarch’s tail. Here is a rainy day video of what it takes to maintain it. It is quite impressive and we are so grateful that Hayley and Guillermo do such a wonderful job keeping him looking beautiful 💙

Happy Saturday! We are so happy to have the sunshine back! Just a reminder the ACPS stallion auction ends tomorrow! All three of our stallions are offered in it! *MLC The Duke of Sussex

*MLC The Duke of Sussex getting some love after his ride yesterday 💙 He is the sweetest in your pocket little stallion! He is in the ACPS stallion auction this year and it is live now!

This is 100% your look honey!

So proud of our boy MLC The Duke of Sussex learning all the things and being such a good citizen while doing it!#connemarastallion #connemarapony #connemara #pony #jumping #MLCTheDukeofSussex

Happy St Patrick’s day! Special treats for a lucky Irish pony 💙 🇮🇪☘️

Gately’s Crown Royal is wondering if this is the contraption you use to get someone to ride you? #connemarapony #forsale #hecaresaboutnothing

Wow! This weekend was SO wonderful! We are SO SO proud of *Castle Monarch and truly how far he has come and it is all thanks to Hayley Buckingham and her wonderful groom Guillermo! Life has not been easy for him and he had a difficult start that made it hard to trust people but Hayley and Guillermo have shown him that it’s ok to relax and be a horse and be loved. It’s ok to make mistakes and that he won’t get in trouble for it. Seeing him love his people and love his job is the best thing and we are so grateful! There were a couple small bobbles but this is by far the best and happiest test we have ever seen him do. We are so excited for the upcoming season and continuing to watch him grow. Thank you Hayley for taking on this special boy, he has accomplished great things because of you 💙

Gately’s Crown Royal (*Castle Monarch-premium stallion x Ridgetop Balleylee- premium mare), a yearling colt we have for sale, enjoyed kicking up his heals the other night 💙

As we finish up packing and preparing to leave for the West Coast Connemara show on Thursday morning, *MLC The Duke of Sussex wanted to demonstrate how to properly hold a whip! 😂 We love this funny boy and can’t wait for his first show!

This little girl got to stretch her legs last night and she was clearly very happy about it! Still yet to be named 🤦🏼‍♀️ suggestions welcome! She is by *Castle Monarch and out of Ridgetop Lady Augusta. Such a sweet and very correct filly!

Ridgetop Lady Augusta is or first mare due this year and was enjoying some time out in the arena today. She is due May 11th but we are not sure she’s going to wait that long. She is all belly right now! Can’t wait to see her *Castle Monarch foal! ♥️💙💗♥️

The boys MLC The Duke of Sussex and Ridgetop Tom Collins out for a good time this morning ❤️

Gately’s Palace Secret (*Castle Monarch x Rosewoods Rumor Has It) yearling grey filly enjoying her time out with Katy our resident babysitter ❤️. “Secret” is for sale. She is the sweetest girl!
