We were pleased to receive a letter saying that the stud had once again won the DUNTARVIE Stud Small Breeds Owner/Breeder award for the highest M&M Small breed owned and bred by the same person at Horse of the Year Show .We receive the DUNTARVIE TROPHY and GOLD MEDAL ROSETTE at the NPS AGM ON 1/2/2020

This was Buzbys and Libbys last show together as he is now retired from ridden for stud duties .They gained an overall position of 6 th in a field of 40 ponies so a credible result and Libby won for the second year in succession the Heniarth trophy for the best Junior Rider .With four judges we were pleased that the two very respected judges awarded them the two highest marks but unfortunately the other two judges had other ideas ,but showing is a lottery and you have to accept that not everyone has the same ideas. Very proud of the both of them and everyone enjoyed and that is what counts.

Both these boys landed in their new home in Florida a few days ago ,and we wish their new owner the best of luck with them on their new journey as dressage ponies. Both big winners in this country it was sad to see them leave as we were very fond of them both, but we have novice ponies coming on and as the saying goes you cant keep them all.
