I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon in February than being surrounded by lovely ponies, catching up with friends, and enjoying the glorious sunshine. Last Sunday, we supported the Thames Valley Native & Open show at Manor Farm Kingsey. The early 5am start was a bit of a shock to…
The Midlands Foal and Youngstock Show, Snelsmore Zac shone once again winning his class and the Miniature Championship! That wraps up an fantastic debut season for Zac, three shows and three fantastic results. Now it’s time for Zac to relax, reflect on all he’s learned, and enjoy a well-deserved break for the rest of the…
We threw caution to the wind at the Avon & Border Counties Association WPCS foal & youngstock show at Leyland Court, Bristol. Zodiac was tagging along to soak up the atmosphere then a last minute to enter him in coloured miniature pony class and Zodiac blew it away, earning first place. What an eventful unexpected…
We attended the Avon & Border Counties Association WPCS foal & youngstock show at Leyland Court, Bristol, with Snelsmore Zac, and Snelsmore Zodiac. Zac started the day with a bang, winning the Miniature /Shetland one, two & three-year-old class in the open ring. He followed that up by taking the Overall Youngstock Championship, making him…
After deciding that the Southwest group show just wasn’t going to work for Cliff and I too many obstacles kept cropping up. I tried to relax a bit after having washed two ponies and having to accept our showing just wasn’t meant to be. Later that evening, though, seeing my disappointment Cliff suggested, “Why don’t…
A huge thanks to Hattie, Nathan, and Debbie Miller for making Equi Events The Indian Summer Show 2023 at Leyland Court Equestrian Centre, a fantastic day. Despite the season coming to an end, Hattie orchestrated a good turnout of Miniature Horses and Shetland ponies, complemented by glorious sunshine! We took three ponies, namely Snelsmore Zulu,…
The week kicked off with the Edenbridge and Oxted show, but unfortunately, luck wasn’t on our side. Our yearling colt, Snelsmore Zeus, has maturity since the Performance show and delivered a foot perfect performance. However, a bit of hesitation during the judge’s stand up caused him to drop a few places in his class. On…
We embarked on our journey to the Mid-Somerset Show at the brisk hour of 4:00 a.m., with Snelsmore Venus and Snelsmore Xyla. For Xyla, it marked her first outing in an affiliated show, having only ventured out once before to Sparsholt College, where she secured a second place in an open youngstock class. The experience…
For my birthday, I celebrated it in my favourite way—surrounded by my family and preparing ponies for an upcoming show. The days celebrations was brimming with bubbles in more ways than one. With the festivities over and the ponies thoroughly washed we set to bed for an early start the next morning. We journeyed to…
Our visit to Worcester sales started without any specific intentions to buy, just a casual break to meet friends. However, the outing turned unexpectedly fruitful as we returned home with a valuable addition to our stud: the beautiful grey stallion, Oxgang Ferando. Ferando not only adapted well to covering duties but also excelled in transforming…
