All our breeding stock have been proven under saddle and/or in hand in the ring. If they have not been shown under saddle they have been ridden at home and have proved good responsive rides. We also breed for temprement as we feel this is one of the most important characteristics. Our aim is to breed all round ponies who will excel either in the ring or at home in a family environment
We have two mares in foal for 2012, both to Highland Chief of Whitefield out of Blaven and Rhidorroch of Talisker

"Lea" is well and truly my 'baby' . She is a 14.2 hh yellow dun mare with a cheeky charactor and has proved that highlands really are the versitile breed. With her athletic jumping ability, she has turned her hoof to everything. She has been a broodmare, shown successfully in hand and under saddle as well as competed in cross country, show jumping, dressage, and even hunts during the winter months. Lea is currently on a quadrille team and we hope to get her out under saddle again this season.
Lea has gone on loan to Lynn and Heli Parkinson, we wish them all the best together.
