Eastlands Dun-Anna

We bought my mum a beautiful grey filly from Diana at the Eastlands stud. Firstly I'd like to say thank you to Diana for letting this happen and secondly for such a gorgeous filly. She has a lovely temperament and is a fine example of a connemara.

Mum absolutely adores her and she will be out showing this season! Look out on the results page! Already shown once where she won!

Penstrumbly Last Train - Tim

Timber is a lovely Section D bay gelding. He is absolutely Cracking. We bought him in Leominster sales not knowing anything about the Penstrumbly stud and we are so pleased we bought him. He is a real advert for Welsh cobs and has the kindest nature. He is best friends with Frank and they love going to shows together. A real sweet heart, we absolutely adore him and frank.

 

Bally First Edition - Frank

Also Known as Frank! He is our first connemara. He is lovely natured and loves attention. Born in 2000, we bought having the vision for workers in the future which he is coming around to nicely. In his first nps show he qualified Bob Templeton and had a Silver medal. He has 2nd at an eventers grand prix (he loves xc) and he won his first hunter trials.

 

 

Old Forge the Gladiator - Max

Max is a lovely welsh cob stallion, owned by Terry Davies. We have Max to show but we have just started jumping and he is loving it so hopefully he will be doing novice workers soon!

Tyrbach Daisy

A palomino Welsh Cob Mare. Although retired from the ridden life now she is still every bit the character. Thinking of taking her up to Nebo to put in foal this year!

In 2008 Daisy had a big bay filly, Honeyacre Miss Dior. She is already showing promise as a show jumper as she keeps jumping out of her field! Photos to follow!

Thorneyside Miss Magic

A chestnut Welsh Cob Mare, Madge is very well bred with good bone and action. We have used her to breed welsh part breds, and she has given us 2 lovely fillies, Honeyacre Miss Molly Malone and Honeyacre Kiss me Kate. Both below and both have tremendous natures!

In 2008 she had a chestnut welsh cob by Nebo Thomas. He is chestnut with four white socks and a blaze! He is a real charater and loves attention!

She went back up to Nebo to be put back in foal to Nebo Thomas.

 

Honeyacre Kiss me Kate

Kate was born on the 18th of April 2006 (Daughter of Madge, by the confederate). Been broken and going nicely, snaffle mouth. FOR SALE

 

 

Honeyacre Miss Molly Malone

Molly was born in 2003 (full sister to Kate above). She again has a lovely temperament and loves attention. We have brought her on slowly and she is really coming into her own. Always in the ribbons even with the little time we have put into her. She won her first eventers grand prix with ease, 2nd to Frank in her first hunter trials. Borrowed by 12 yr old girl to take to Pony club where they've asked her to be in the eventing team. She is extremely genuine, a true pleasure to own! I need to take more photos of her as she is pictured below as a 2year old and she has matured a lot since then! Ideal home would be someone who wants a horse to do it all as she loves doing it!

Paith Orange Blossom

Tango is a liver chestnut section C. She has just come back into work and has gone to Malcolms to bring her back into work. We felt she needed to muscle up slowly (with use of the horse walker and his wonderfull care!) after she broke her leg in October 2006 and after several visits to Bristol she has made a full recovery.

She went to her first show on the 17th of February coming 3rd inhand. Since been to pony club where she won her ridden class. Loved hunting this winter. She was fantastic! Pictured below.

She has now gone to compete at workers with Frankie so watch this space! I am sure you will see her on our results page shortly!

Pitmedden Marksman - Marcus

Marcus is a 17hh 1 bay gelding. He loves hunting, jumping & dressage. He is a gentle giant, who loves being ridden. Marcus has a fantastic nature and a brilliant first 'big' horse or should I say 'huge' horse to have! He towers the cobs nevermind the shetlands!!! Sold to a fabulous hunting home!
