A sad start to 2026 for Hollybrooke when we said goodbye to our stallion Skywalker. He  would have been twenty five this year and his age had just started to catch up with him. The last thing we wanted was to watch him going down hill so we made the most difficult decision for any animal owner.
He was an absolute pleasure to own and has left behind some lovely progeny both here and also in the Brock and Trenley herds, who also used him during his time at Hollybrooke. I have had many messages from people, who have Skywalker progeny they adore. Many were not conceived here, but during the twelve seasons he was a Forest run stallion. Our supreme champion mare Hollybrooke Melitta is in foal to him, having produced two really super foals by him before, so we are really looking forward to that. |

 On a more cheerful note the Breed Society has just published the results of their annual performance pony of the year competition. The winner of the section for part-breds in 2025 was Trenley Tomorrow. A New Forest TB cross sired by Hollybrooke Tinker. He also won the trophy for the most versitile part-bred.
We have just two mares in foal this year Hollybrooke Melitta and Hollybrooke Crystal who is expecting a full brother or sister to last year's breed show champion gelding by Hollybrooke Tinker. |
