Busy time at Snelsmore

The week kicked off with the Edenbridge and Oxted show, but unfortunately, luck wasn’t on our side. Our yearling colt, Snelsmore Zeus, has maturity since the Performance show and delivered a foot perfect performance. However, a bit of hesitation during the judge’s stand up caused him to drop a few places in his class. On…

The girls did us proud!

We embarked on our journey to the Mid-Somerset Show at the brisk hour of 4:00 a.m., with Snelsmore Venus and Snelsmore Xyla. For Xyla, it marked her first outing in an affiliated show, having only ventured out once before to Sparsholt College, where she secured a second place in an open youngstock class. The experience…

Bubbles all round

For my birthday, I celebrated it in my favourite way—surrounded by my family and preparing ponies for an upcoming show. The days celebrations was brimming with bubbles in more ways than one.

Showing news; An award for Snelsmore Warwick

Very proud of Snelsmore Warwick receiving this SPSBS award, especially considering he was rather thrown in at the deep end at the NPS Summer Championship on the 9th of August for his first show. He held it together well to win his class and awarded the reserve overall Junior Championship. Warwick stood on the lorry…

Stud news; SPSBS Breeders Recognition.

Cliff and I are very proud to have received this fantastic Breeder Recognition award from the SPSBS. Such awards don’t come easily. It takes a lot of dedication and effort behind the scenes. We have shown twenty different ponies, had many early starts and sometimes late evenings, travelled many miles driving up and down the…
