My thoughts for the morning:
Study all parts of the horse, educate yourself and learn what each part is for, it's functions, what it should be in relation to the other parts and its correct length, lay and angle for the job your breed was developed. If you do not understand these laws of motion and form, if can not explain each aspect then you do not have even a basic working knowledge of conformation or its purpose.
Educate yourself on pedigrees and how genes are inherited, for how many generations they can have an impact, how to use pedigree to breed better (or worse) if you do not place great importance on this you are not an educated breeder.
Study your breeds breed type, do not start changing it to suit your likes or needs.
AND look with great detail and be hard on your own breeding stock, don't keep it because you paid a lot or if it's sub par, be honest with yourself. Know the strengths and weaknesses each horse possess and how they, their sire, dam and grandparents bred. Plan accordingly.
Lasty, ribbons do not mean you have a good example of a Gypsy Cob, they just mean the judge who may or may not (usually the latter in Australia) have the in depth knowledge of the breed liked your horse on the day.

This particular eurohunter fits the big solid Cobs who usually need a custom rug, I didnt even have to size up for Tiashan amazingly, I probably wouldn't recommend going a size bigger either or they will end up with it dragging back around the shoulder and the hood moving. The same brand but other styles are a rubbish fit on the big shouldered guys so make sure if you look at this brand you are looking at this one.
The cotton is a bit heavy weight for really hot weather though.

Product Code: EHLTP A hood and ears combo like no other! Eurohunter quality style and fittings. In a medium-weight ripstop fabric. These rugs are a generous fit. The Eurohunter Light Protect is the ideal summer rug for both indoor and out. Made from a soft poly-cotton ripstop material (50% Cotton, 5...

ATTENTION OWNERS OF PROGENY OF THE BLACK MADONNA / SMOKEY GIRL formerly of High Streets Gypsy Cobs

A dear friend of ours in the UK has been kind enough to call and speak to Dick Smith for me whom she knows quite well.

"Maddys" recorded sire Moses was purchased by Dick from from a man in London in a group of three, Moses and two fillies. The breeder of Moses was Andrew Moulden, his sire was The Horse Who Twisted His Gut who was bred by Billy Gaskin. Moses mother was a mare by The Paddy Horse who John Pratt brought from Ireland and goes back to Eddie Alcocks Black Horse ( was named Trigger and owned by Eddie's wife)
Twisted Gut only sired two crops of foals before he died with Andrew and his sire was (the original) Billy Boy/The Christy Horse. Moses is 13hh and he thinks he is still alive, he was last year so hopefully we can obtain hairs for DNA.

Dick will look at her photos when he is back from holidays and we may even get dam information.

GLYNDOWER BREA SNOW LEOPARD
Three year old purebred Gypsy Cob c**t to be gelded
EMH 14hh, currently 13.2hh.
An outstanding example of the breed. Spotty is an absolute delight to handle with impeccable manners so don't let the fact he's been entire dissuade you. He is a soft, sweet pony with a huge sense of humour, he really is just a delight to have around and much loved by all the family. Spottybis very well socialised and runs in a herd of geldings, mature breeding stallions and c**ts. He has of course run with mares and foals too and is used to all the comings and goings on the farm.
He has some breeding duties to finalise with me before being gelded and started under saddle so do keep him in mind for a few months down the track. This is though no fault of his, he will not go entire so please don't ask, geldings have a much better life overall and tend to stay in the one place when they are as perfect as he is. He will be great under saddle and as he is so sane and quite will no doubt be a fantastic harness prospect too. Spotty deserves to be someone's world, he has been handled since birth and loves his people.
No time wasters, daydreamers, photo collectors etc

Brand new silver Gypsy Cob c**t for Mum and Dads stud, Surrey Springs GypsyCobs this morning, he combines both of our studs lines with some wonderful back breeding.
With the notable sires behind him of The Chocolatier, The EarthShaker, Tumbleweed, Davey Wards Black Stallion, Dick Smith's Black Horse and the top class mare line of HorseShoe, he is one I will be really excited to see mature 💕

Dad and Justen will be busy for a while tonight 🥰 it's such a lovely feeling seeing hay cut in the paddocks and the shed getting a bit of a top up.

Isn't this pup just absolutely gorgeous. His markings are SO beautiful. He's also the sweetest boy.
My sister has a litter of four by our imported merle poodle, Dare to Dream out of her border collie, Melody.
There are three to look at.

Maidens 🤣🤨🤔 will she? Won't she? Wax on both teats but not exactly much of a bag. Either a foal rather soon or not I guess.

GLYNDOWER BREA TREASURE, she was her sires parting gift to me before he went to Thacker Rhodes in America.
This rising three year old filly is truly a treasure to me being a daughter of The EarthShaker (imp Ire exp USA) from Surrey Springs Tiani who is our only living daughter of Tom of Brackenhill and those of you who know us and have followed the breed since they arrived in Australia will need no introduction to Tom. Treasures granddam is Tia imp UK, a top class, utterly proper Cob mare.
