Holly is in foal to our graded Knabstrup stallion FAUST AF ELMELYGARD pic to follow Pictus Bluebell scanned in foal due May 5th 2011. Neelas' sire is Stonedge El Supremo and she is in foal to our resident stallion REIFALS CALON LAN a palomino section c, his first mare since he obtained his licence. This is a very exciting match especially as we have just sold Stonedge.
June 9th
All being well , with a few hiccups ironed out Stonedge El Supremo will be leaving to go to his new home in Buckinghamshire tomorrow. This will be a very very sad day, and one I cannot get excited about, however he will be going to lovely home so we could not have asked for more. Many tears shall be shed i just know it The picture is my last ever lesson on him.

Colly our bay Connemara has just been scanned in foal to our new young dun Connemara stallion, DUNGUIRE FIONN MCCOOL,due to foal 21st April 2011. The foal has a 50% chance of being a dilute, which means it could be palomino or dun as well as bay etc. However it will NOT be grey as we do not have the grey gene with either dam or sire 
This mare is also for sale Sorry Sold

He will be ready for stud duties in May. As he has no youngstock on the ground as yet, his stud fee will be greatly reduced. He is DUN and WILL NOTpass on the grey gene as he comes from bay and dun parents, this means you could have a dun , palomino, bay etc |

November 25th
We have finally weaned all this years babies, the day went fairly uneventfully, with just the odd little hiccup, so that is exciting,it has released a couple of mares that we shall be producing for the showing season 
November 18th yes all this did happen in one day !!!!
Duncan, our stunning dun colt managed to get his foot stuck in the ring feeder, fortunatly we found him almost immediatly and he was so calm whilst Ben saved him. We rushed him to Nantwich vet group, where they did a fantastic job in finding his joint was infected so he was rushed into the operating theatre where once again they did a fantastic job on him. Duncan is still in the vets.....we forget to mention the poor little chap was instantly weaned stalled in the horsebox and never once caused a fuss...Bless him. He should be back in 3 days with a bit of luck, if all has gone well, we are looking forward to having him back We are just of to pick him up from the vets, it is a sad day knowing he is now castrated but we have plenty of new exciting ventures in the pipeline 
Beautiful Afrika,only 5 years has had some bad news ,she has torn a hole in her tendon sheath which means her jumping career is over and we are now waiting for 2 months with her on box rest to see if she can continue as a flat horse! This is very sad news as she is such a lovely horse and so young 
Roger, it has taken a long long time to come to the decision to castrate him, but we have decided it is for the best, he has a lot of lovely foals down, and we are now going to concentrate more on his fantastic jumping ability....However this will mean that during 2010 he will be put forward for sale, but he will have to have a 5 star home. We will give Duncan a cuddle when we see him ! 
Tag is on the mend after he had half his foot dug out,after going hunting standing on a nail,that healed but caused a secondary infection in his sole ....it has been a long process!
November 3rd
Reifals Independance Day "Bowie" Our new Welsh Section D colt,Bowie has the wow factor with the paces , presence and charisma who will be replacing Stonedge El Supremo. His Grandsire is CARREGCOCH BLEDDYN !! WOW and sire CARNEDDAU GERALLT (he is half brother to Floyd) http://www.sportpony.org.uk/carregcoch-bleddyn.shtml Talebolion Anna. "Twiggy" Sire of Reifals Independance Day. Reifals Calon Lan "Floyd" A lovely free moving palomino colt by CARNEDDAU GERALLT. Floyd will be liscensed and ready for stud work to a select few mares for 2010 for a reduced stud fee due to as yet being unproven. However he is proving a good jumper or escape artist ! as he keeps popping the 5 bar gate to come back to the yard Below a brief insight into the newbies , they will eventually get there own pages with all there info.. 
and when he doesn't come back to the yard he just jumps into another field.

Tag enjoying his hunting season, sadly for sale as Jake has a young stallion coming up for next year, which with Jakes spotty cob shall take up all his time. Tag is homebred. Afrika having a few days off the showing scene to hunt, and wow does she love it!! That's my girl 
August 31st
We also took our resident stallion STONEDGE EL SUPREMO, where he jumped a cracking working hunter round and won his class. He then went forward to the evening performance( his first one) where he was pulled in Champion. He also won a huge trophy. Good boy Roger. He went on to do yet another cracking around on the last day, all be it a little tired, but he still wooed the judges and won his class. He was pulled in reserve as he was a little bit excitable in the line up! But we are so proud of him :) We had a fabulous time at the B.S.P.S. Summer Chaps at Arena UK Lincoln. We took a 5 year old Connemara FOURASHES PHOEBE who after her preliminary judging was picked as one of the top ten to go forward to the main arena. Afrika took all the lights and ambiance in her stride and was pulled in a very commendable 4th. We were delighted with this as it was an Open class and she has only just started her career.
