Snelsmore Matilda
Snelsmore Matilda has been sold to a new home in France. Matilda’s affectionate nature and outward going character makes her the perfect pony to help her new owner, Dominique, start up a new adventure and animal farm. Matilda will be staying here at the stud a little longer to be covered, giving Dominique time to organise new arrangements for Matilda and two young Shire horses also purchased in England. I wish them all the best in the...

We are pleased to be giving lovely rosettes to the highest placed geldings in several classes at the Southern, Wessex and the South Downs Shetland group shows again this year. We are hoping this might encourage gelding owners out there to get into the show ring and have some fun. We would love to hear about your results, perhaps send us a picture of your geldings on Facebook.

We will be starting with leather head collars in three sizes, in-hand show bridles and rolled show slips. All of these will be available to purchase before the start of this year’s showing season.

Snelsmore Nightingale and Snelsmore Odakota have both been tested positive as a Tobiano Homozygous, this means they carry the TT gene. Having this gene enables them both to guarantee 100% colour regardless of mate, with a strong possibility of also passing this gene to their offspring. Both ponies are out of Croft Bluebell and by Snelsmore Jasper. Naturally we are very pleased with this partnership and look forward to next year’s...
