Anywhere from 50% up crossed out with Irish blood or british native for the type of horses which are sound in the mind and limb.

You have misjudge me totally - have my own competition horses and ponies for my children. This pony was very naughty with the child and from PM i have received - it is not the first time the pony has reared so badly. It was not the child that was humiliated but the father and that is why he...

Hi Bluespace and welcome to the forum You obviously know this pony and yes it was a naughty pony, but yesterday was not the place for an adult to get on in to sort "the ponies issues out". If the pony is as naughty as you say - why on earth are they putting such a young child on it in the...

Yes I did make a complaint. I agree that you are lucky to have this facility and it would be welcome anywhere in the country, although I must say, the access is a little interesting. Wouldnt look forward to taking a lorry down that lane too often especially if you met something coming the...

Having gone to this venue to meet up with a friend who had a horse competing I was appalled when an apparently well know local rider got on one of his sons ponies and positively bullied the pony. On entering the arena the pony was allowed to run right into the back of the previous competitor...

BEF have them on their site as well for the young horse evaluations

echo Enfys - he is chestnut and doesnt need some fancy name to discribe his colour. Very attractive horse.

Without knowing all the circumstances and if you didnt have the foal checked to find out if there was an obvious cause of it being stillborn I would suggest that if I was going to put the mare in foal again I would use a different stallion for no other reason than should you be so incredibly...

Unfortunately as far as I am aware it is not something which can be checked for. I suppose if you ask the person who bred your mare you might find out whether she herself had a corrected hernia, or perhaps if you know the sire you might be able to find out if he did in fact have several foals...

A hernia can be caused at birth, but I tend to think that actually that particular foal could have had a hernia if with a normal birth. I also over the years have come to the conclusion that hernia can be hereditary and progeny from certain stallions have seemed more prone to have foals with...

There were a mixed bunch of stallions which included graded and ungraded alike. Graham Heal brought two forward, the thoroughbred Royal Storm which would interest the racing enthusiats and a coloured warmblood Sequels Samista. Trevoulter Barton has expanded the stallions standing this year...

Yes it makes a big difference to me as well as we only do Tet as foals and then Flu once ridden or campaigned seriously inhand. If the question had remained Flu/Tet I wouldnt have taken part in the survey as I actually would not have been able to answer with any clarity.

Need to put on more details Their ages, heights, breeding and who they are in foal to for this year and when are they due to foal. Are you looking for someone to take them on to have just one foal from them and also rear the 2009 for you to have back at weaning?

As you have not said what you are aiming to breed it is difficult to say whether your chosen stallion will suit. As you are in Cornwall if you are looking to breed an allrounder then I would suggest you have a word with the owner of Kings Composer. This stallion has them out there competing in...

Well wouldnt it be nice for each horse to be entered into one section only, with a space being made on the evaluation papers for judges comments - so in the case of your colt, he is awarded the premium for SJ and then in the comments have it in writing that in their opinion on the day this colt...
