Riccalton Gauntlet

39.5" Grey - 08/05/95

Purchased to start breeding performance ponies. Very good bone, loves everyone and enjoys being ridden. Broken-in in a week by an 8 year old! Very successful with his mares. Kindest nature. He passed his performance testing as a ridden stallion in 2005 gaining a distinction. We hope to have in out undersaddle this season. Congratulations to Gauntlet who had all very pretty foals and all had good success so far including 2nd in Royal Welsh 2007. Gauntlet has retired from ridden classes is he is far too laid back and no one realises he is a stallion. He is retired to stud where he is proven invaluable.

Brinleyview Camanchee

40" Skewbald - 2003

Chee is a prolific show winner with too many wins to mention. Winning 2 classes in the International show in Sweden. Since a foal he has won so many classes and championships against mature ponies, we are so proud of him. He is easy to do and loves showing. He won Royal Welsh as a yearling and he has just come in to his own over the last 2years. A real joy to own. My 8yr old nephew can sit on him out the field when he is with his mares! He has a busy future ahead of him, showing, breeding and he is broken to ride. He passed his CHAPS grading in September 2008 inhand and ridden. Watch this space!

Camelot of Catchpool

31" Black - 04/08/00

Lots of bone. His first ever show he was champion minature and overall reserve supreme! Has won nearly everytime out. Now running with a small herd hoping to breed some cream's and coloureds as his girls are a variety of colours! A very nice compact pony. Has sired some of our nicest foals.

 

Niceman of Catchpool

32" Dun and White - 2003

Niceman is a beautifully marked little stallion, with loads of bone and personality. His sire was a prolific show winner and we are hoping to show him in the future. Nice colouring with equally nice markings. He has a gorgeous head and proving to have a tremendous nature. We need to find him a nice big herd! For Sale

 

Tomos of Catchpuddle

33" Chestnut Flaxen mane & Tail 2006

Tomos is a gorgeous stallion with a terrific temperament. He is great to show as he just trots along beside you. A real angel! He is going to Finland on loan for a couple of years, I hope Johanna is pleased with him!
