We are struggling through another very wet and miserable winter up to our eyes in mud and water like all other breeders and farmers. However, the ponies all look great and the youngsters growing well.
We ended 2024 0n a super note with John and his part bred New Forest Woottonheath Obi winning his race at the New Forest Boxing Day Point to Point. As you can see from the photos it was very muddy and wet!
Two ponies we bred also competed in the races Hollybrooke Brown Sugar on the left and Hollybrooke Huckleberry on the right.
While our ponies have been having a quiet time others have been out and about. Hollybrooke Americano (Greencottage Ambassador/ Hollybrooke Melitta) a licensed stallion in Belgium, has been producing some lovely clear rounds in show jumping.
Sadly Melitta's last years foal a smart colt by Skywalker will not be able to be shown this year as his field companion has chewed his tail!
We do have a two year old colt Hollybrooke Distinction, a full brother to the very successful Hollybrooke Duke who we plan to take to the colt grading in the spring.
Two other ponies one we bred Hollybrooke Calvados (left) and the other Brock Brendon (right) by Hollybrooke Tinker have also been out doing some early season jumping.
We have two mares in foal, one to each of our stallions who are both due in March. However knowing our mares i expect it will be April before they arrive.
