Weatheroak Manor Evie - Dark bay Welsh part bred / Spot bred mare 25/06/1998 - WPCS               W.P-B.R.21152

We purchased Evie from Rachel Jennings - Weatheroak spotted ponies, Bromsgrove, along with her filly foal at foot Natasha - see youngstock page.

Evie is by the national champion spotted stallion Broomells Desert Songbird out of Rowlandsford Red Ruby, a british riding pony mare.

She was in foal to Weatheroak Manor Valentino when she came to us and produced a stunning leopard spot colt Fabio in May '09 (see youngstock page).

She has run with Bert this year in the hope of a foal for 2010.

Rohey Sparkling Maydream (Doris) - Bay Welsh Section B mare 31/05/1997 - WPCS 115527

We bought Doris from our friends Penny & Andrew of Bathleyhills Farm, Caunton in October '08.

Doris is by Wian Mab Spruce who has a super show record having taken many championships under saddle.  She was purchased by Penny as a five year old and produced "Goblin" a few months later!

She is a good moving, even tempered, pretty mare who throws all to her foals.  She has produced some super, good moving foals with superb temperaments for Penny, we hope this will continue with us .

Doris is both easy to have around and is a superb mum!!!  She has never been backed as she has always been used as a brood mare.

She produced a super chestnut filly by Thistledown Copper Lustre in May '09 - 'Harry' is a super Welsh section B stallion, registered with the Sports Pony Society - see website for more details www.bathleyhillfarmlivery.com

Doris will run with Bert this summer and we are in hope of a foal for 2011.

Doris's Sire - Wian Mab Spruce was WPCS Centernary ridden Section B champion. Bronze and Silver medal winner both in hand and under saddle!

Sierra Of Drakelaw - Black Shetland mare 14/04/1991 - SPSBS  AA1267

Sierra has been with me since a yearling, purchased from the Drakelaw Shetland pony stud in Kinoulton, Notts. She was bought as a companion but also taught my children to ride. She has been shown successfully at county level as a younster and has produced a couple of lovely foals in her time.

Maybeck Rosie - Chestnut Shetland mare 28/05/2002 - SPSBS AN1544

Homebred shetland mare by Scammells Cracker out of Sierra of Drakelaw. A real character this one, loads of cheek and great fun, the kids love her. She was a real shock to us when she was born, as both parents are jet black! She has matured into a lovely chestnut with flaxen mane, has had some success when shown in hand and we are now looking forward to seeing what foals she may produce!

Twoacre Sasha - Grey Shetland mare 12/05/1991 - SPSBS AA1824

Like Sierra, bought as a companion and kids pony. Sasha turned out to be a great gymkhana pony, winning loads of rosettes with the girls, she also proved herself in hand too, winning lots of shetland classes and reserve breed championships. Unfortunately, we have not had a foal from her, and she now has devolped multiple melanomas, so she has a new job of looking after the weanlings.......she seems quite happy to take the yougsters under her wing!

Jenny & Chicken - Part bred Shetland / Dartmoor mare and filly

Jenny and Chicken joined us 1/05/09. Jenny (with colt foal at foot) had been rescued from Melton Sales by her previous owner Sonya, a few months later Chicken arrived, much to Sonya's surprise!! Jenny is prone to laminitis and Chicken was also showing tendencies, so as Sonya's grass is just too rich, she had to find them another home, so they have come to us.

They have settled into the herd really well and making new friends, especially with Bramble........hmmm will have to keep my eyes on this terrible trio!!! :-)
