Just thought i'd introduce myself and my ponies...have been 'hovering' around for a while but never done much more till now.
Me and my family have a small stud based in England, although my family help most of the horse care and planning is left up to me, my family 'like' horses...but not really into doing much much that looking at them and giving them a pat! :lol: My sister doesn't even really like doing that!
We started off over 3 years ago with 2 rescue ponies who were going 'free to good home', that was my first introduction to these darling little ponies and the joy they can bring, i don't ride due to nerves and health but enjoy showing, breeding, training and generally just being around my selection of miniatures and shetland ponies.
We had our very first proper homebred foal born this year, bred and born with us and we couldn't have ask for anything better.
So we have...
Badger, a 6yr old, 33.75" stallion - Badger is our main and now currently only stallion after the sad loss of our second stallion in August of this year.
Tothill Badger
And just because he was such a darling little boy...our past stallion, Halo, he was 32" cream dun stallion. He sadly died in August 2006 at such a young age of 8. We'd only had him a year but he left such a huge gap to fill as he was such a character here. A previoud abused little pony with a heart of gold who we will never forget. Struck down by a freak heart attack. We are lucky enough to have 3 mares in foal to Halo for 2007.
Wedgwood Halo
We currently have 5 mares all in foal for 2007.
Flye, 5yr old, 31" Cremello mare - In foal to Halo
Tothill Creme De Menthe
Spiritual Dreamer (aka Piper...aka the witch! lol), 5yr old, 36" Skewbald mare - In foal to Badger
(Picture with her 2006 filly foal, this is her first foal and she has been an excellent mother...even if we needed armour plating! :lol: )
Piper with her 2006 foal
Boltwood Lady Miniscule (aka Cassi), 10yr old, 32" Chestnut mare - In Foal to Badger
Brookfield Bunty (aka Katanna), 12yr old, 35" Chestnut Roan (its got spots!) mare - In foal to Halo

Heronsfield Daisy May (aka Daisy), 12yr old, 35" grey mare - On loan to us - In foal to Halo
Our 2006 foals
Calekio Bright Eyes (aka Teddy), Chestnut colt born end of April, son of Katanna - Now sold
Calekio Dust Storm (aka Stormy), Cream dun colt born beginning of May, half brother to Teddy - Now sold
Calekio First Wish (aka Chaos), skewbald filly foal, born end of June, Parents are Piper & Badger. Chaos is our first homebred and at her first ever show took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, reserve champion & champion! Although quite a little madem!
We also have a few others.
Helawi ScarletBerry, a 2yr old bay standard filly who we are selling, hopefully to go soon! (please behave on monday Scar! lol)
Brookfield Clare, aka Dreamer. A 12yr old, 37" retired broodmare. She ruptured her prepubic tendon shortly after giving birth to Stormy and so will never have a foal again.
And our geldings...
Tiger Eye aka Tigga, 36", 4yr old gelding - One of our first shetlands! What a dream he is a real show stopper...not bad for a rescue.
Double Trouble aka Dinki, 31" 4yr old, gelding - Came with Tigga...a mass of physical and mental problems....but i love him!
Hermits Razzle aka Splash, 31" 2yr old spot colt - soon to be a gelding! lol A pony i should have proberly left behind....as everyone was amazes he was still alive when i brought the little runt of a yearling he was with a huge wound on his back!
And Topaz, a 22yr old, 12hh welsh b gelding, who is a ridden pony at the yard.
So that is my little crew.
