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…
Very proud of Snelsmore Warwick receiving this SPSBS award, especially considering he was rather thrown in at the deep end at the NPS Summer Championship on the 9th of August for his first show. He held it together well to win his class and awarded the reserve overall Junior Championship. Warwick stood on the lorry…
Cliff and I are very proud to have received this fantastic Breeder Recognition award from the SPSBS. Such awards don’t come easily. It takes a lot of dedication and effort behind the scenes. We have shown twenty different ponies, had many early starts and sometimes late evenings, travelled many miles driving up and down the…
Goodbye 2021, you certainly have been challenging with lots of unknowns for everyone. As I sit here and reflect on our year, I cannot help but think of those whose year has not been so kind. It makes me feel extremely fortunate to have never caught covid, along with those closest to me. The year wasn’t without…
