16.2 ¾ TB x ¼ ID 1996

Lilly has had a very successful career in eventing and dressage, she has also done well in Sport Horse showing. Following injury she has now retired to stud, she already has a 3 year old son Claife Vivacé, now owned by Ann Martin and going to be off eventing. This year she has produced a super colt to RID Young Prospect.

2/3 ID x 1/3 TB

Jason was born 15 days early - Lilly must have known - because he was an enormous baby and is continuing in the same vein. He is going to make at least 17hh and probably quite a bit more if he grows into his knees! He looks as if he will make a lovely middle weight show hunter and has fabulous paces for dressage. He is totally laid back about life and also doesn't much like getting up in the morning.

40" Stallion 1994

We were really lucky to find Ollie at Reading sales in October 2006, although we did have some explaining to do to Alan on the way home, but he forgave us as soon as he saw Ollie come down the ramp! He has had a storming season in hand in both Shetland and Mixed M&M classes with 15 x 1st, 2 x Supreme Champion including Kent County, 5 x Res Supreme including Royal Norfolk, 12 Chamionships and 5 Res Championships - and 2 photos in H&H. He took to being ridden very well which was great for an older pony, but all his jockeys have developed good biceps! He will be standing at stud in 2008 and Alan is planning on breaking him to drive - think he might need a land anchor tho' - this NEVER runs out of steam.

41 ½ stallion 2003

We were lucky enough to be able to buy Red at weaning from his breeder Roweena Provan, having always admired his sire. He has not disappointed, with his terrific bone and huge movement he has had an excellent in-hand career and since licenced, has produced 2 lovely filly foals in 2007.

He has run with 2 mares this year, who are both in foal for 2008 and has now gone over to Julie's to compete novice classes under saddle in 2008. He was reserve National In-Hand Showing Awards as a yearling in 2004, won the 2 year old section in 2005 and the 3 year old section in 2006, unshown in hand in 2007 until this autumn he won the small breeds M&M at NPS and was Champion first time out.

40" Colt 2005

Clive was bred on the islands, and due to one of the wettest stormiest winters they have had for years, couldn't get him off until the following May, by which time us in the softy south, were in the middle of one of the hottest heatwaves we have had for years. Poor boy - he had such a thick coat and was really suffering so all we could do was clip him - quick. Therefore' he didn't come out to be shown last year, but has had a couple of outings this year, winning on both occasions and gaining Junior and Res Junior Champion. We are planning to have him inspected this winter, he's a real lad, and is running out in the "boy's band" with Tommy and DV.

39 mare 1996, bred by Mrs. Jean Carlisle

Sasha is one of 3 Thrandeston mares we have, the others being Merry Dancer and Moonwalker and all of them move beautifully.

Sasha is responsible for getting us firmly back into Shetlands, this pony can turn her hoof to anything; she has done extremely well in-hand showing and ridden, she regularly wins in dressage, she loves her hacking and she has now taken to being driven like a duck to water. A real family pony she has a fabulous temperament (even been seen to fall asleep in the line up for the Kingsford evening performance), a very feminine manner and the prettiest head.

40 mare 1999, bred by Mr. M. Arden

Lady J has done extremely well in-hand showing, she has been Champion at East Anglian Natives, NPS Summer Championships, Reserve Supreme Hadleigh and many, many more. She can also go very nicely under saddle - when she feels like it!, but as she's so beautiful we forgive her quirky moments, she is looking very round and content at the moment, due to foal to Red, late March 2008.

Colt 2006

The first foal of our return to breeding, DV had a rough arrival, complications during pregnancy and a rush to Newmarket saw him being born at a The Middleton Stud on the Hamilton road in Newmarket along with a lot of very posh Thoroughbred babies, but guess who got all the visitors!

Christened DV (Darth Vader) by the girls on the stud, he is by Hose Voyage and this year he has had a fantastic time at the shows with 8 x 1st including winning the 1,2,3 year old class at the Royal Norfolk and 3 Reserve Championships.

13.2 stallion 2003, bred by Mrs. S. Smalldridge-Clark

We took one look at Tommy at 3 weeks old and fell in love with him, in his first season showing as a three year old he has did very well, he has now passed his stallion inspection. He has done well in ridden novice classes this year and is now coming out to compete Dressage this winter. Not particularly a Highland name? - well as he hadn't been registered when we bought him, Sue Clark asked us to name him, so he is named after the pub which is next door to his stable.

14hh mare bred by W & J Ralston

We were thrilled when the Ralston's let us have Holly as a wife for Tommy. She is beautifuly bred, and Jean felt she would benefit from the more intimate contact of a small yard rather than running in a herd. Jean was right, Holly loves it, she walked off the lorry and into her stable as if she owns the place. She has a lovely gentle temperament and is due to foal to Moss-side Domnach in March 2008. We have shown her a few times this year, she won and was Reserve Champion at South of England, 3rd and top Highland at Royal Norfolk and 1st and Champion Highland at Kent County to name a few.
