SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL !!
New Paragraph
Miniatures
In October 2023, the three above were our purchases from Worcester sales:-
Coedpeth Caitlin Marie (Caitlin)
Chestnut tobiano filly - d.o.b. 28.03.24
Sire: Wernfeilig Gillie
Dam: Edern Catrin
Caitlin is an extremely pretty filly with a curly mane and tail. She is very uncertain and timid, but we're confident that will change as she settles into life with us. It usually does!
Windwillow Kerry Fiery Dawn (Pumpkin)
Chestnut mare - d.o.b. 06.04.17
Sire: Windwillow Bamboo
Dam: Kit-Kat of Brindister
We decided to keep the nickname her former owner gave her and Pumpkin is well named as she is orange and very round, possibly being in foal. She can be reluctant to be caught, but will do anything for food so that's easily overcome! She is quite a character.
Cotmullion Xabrina (Xabrina)
Black tobiano filly - d.o.b. 23.04.23
Sire: Cotmullion Huckleberry
Dam: Cotmullion Candyfloss
Xabrina's breeder handled her well. She is super-confident, very friendly and into absolutely everything. She is the team leader in the trio of foals (now yearlings, Xabrina, Bambi & Caitlin) we had in 2023 and extremely cute - and she knows it!
Bwlchclawdd Nela (Nelly)
Black filly - d.o.b. 18.04.22
Sire: Swarthoull Preacher
Dam: Stackerhvi Flikka
Nelly is a gorgeous, black filly. We bought her from Worcester Sales as a foal and she was terrified (see picture below) However, she soon came round and last summer went to Alrewas Show and gained a blue rosette (2nd).
The outing really helped her gain confidence, particularly as she had to cope with tractors, trailers, gazebos flapping in the wind, alpacas and all the razamataz of a show. Nelly is now the friendliest pony you could wish for.
At the moment, Nelly is out with the herd and is fluffy and muddy. A much better picture will follow as soon as possible!
Shallowater Indiana (Indie)
Blue dun tobiano filly - d.o.b. 06.05.18
Sire: Kirkstall King Alfred
Dam: Shallowater Princess
Not the most flattering picture of Indie who can look a lot prettier, but she's a lovely, stockly filly - very kind and affectionate. Indie ran with Auric Tattoo (Sonny) in late June/July 2022 so we're hoping for a foal in 2023.
CorleyOak Spotlight (Topsy)
Black tobiano mare - d.o.b. 30.05.16
Sire: Edern Pennant
Dam: Edern Misty Morn
Topsy is a character - one of the most loving foals (now five year old) we've ever known. She is super-confident and very obliging. As a foal she went in two classes in the National Foal of the Year Show and took everything in her stride. Topsy ran with our stallion, Sonny, in May & June 2021 and
had a lovely filly foal, a clone of herself, on 19th May 2022 - see foals page! Topsy is hopefully now in foal again to Sonny.
CorleyOak Silver Moonstone (Jewel)
Buckskin roan mare - 24.05.14
Sire: Kerswell Legacy
Dam: Collytown Charisma
Above is our Jewel at her first ever outing at County level where she was 4th in a class of 11. She has matured into a super, stocky pony. She has the best temperament ever and loves being with people. In the above picture she has lost almost all of her winter coat so her buckskin colouring and roan shows up. The one below is her winter colour which is basically mucky brown and mud!
Jewel ran with our stallion in May/June 2021. She is a very feisty mare though so we didn't know if she would have proved too much of a handful for such a junior stallion. However, it appears he has prevailed and Jewel is now heavily in foal to Sonny.
Jewel foaled on Monday 16th May 2022 and had a lovely colt - see foals page! Hopefully, Jewel is currently in foal to Sonny.
