Thankyou so much to Verena for these wonderful photos of Parlington Xander (now living in Germany) and some of his youngstock. He is looking fabulous Verena and getting more like his dad, Quentin although he has lovely Mum Lindsey's head which he seems to be passing on to his stock. Wishing you good luck with this year's foals, can't wait to see them,x

Hmmm, I don't think spring has sprung just yet :-) and this was supposed to be the not so bad day! Have been up the hill looking like Bin Laden with balaclava and goggles on so all ponies fed for today. Lets see what tomorrow brings.

So proud of nephew James playing his first London gig in my old happy hunting ground :-) Well done James xxx

I'm sorry this page has been a bit quiet as we've had the flu bug and the weather has been a bit grim but yesterday was glorious so I had a lovely day checking ponies and trying to guess which mares are in foal. One day like this makes up for all the miserable ones :-)

Great win for Wharfedale on Saturday, well worth the trip to Blaydon to watch them win the Andy Baggett cup :-) Wilf & I on right celebrating one of the tries. Photo by Ro Burridge.

Thanks to Dotty for this gorgeous photo of our great nieces and nephews with their pressies from Uncle Wilf and Aunty Di. So delighted that they like them, it was wonderful to see you all yesterday. Safe journey home, lots of love and see you all at Easter.xxxx

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and health and happiness for 2018 xxxx

This was our view on Wilf's birthday last week on our way back from a lazy day on the beach in Paphos. Thanks so much to Wendy, Jamie and Frank for allowing us to get away for a nice relaxing break. The yacht belonged to a Russian billionaire and cost £360 million!!

Parlington Earl left us today with his delighted new owners Andy, Helen and Felix. He is Andy's early Xmas present and is going to keep Helen's horse Lush company and be spoilt rotten. We will be seeing him when he comes up to their holiday home and enjoys his very posh new stables which have just been built. Wishing you all the best of luck with him.x

A very short video of 17 yr old Nico for Joela

It's been a busy day with mixed emotions as we've been getting three ponies ready to go to Belgium tomorrow. We'd like to wish Nancy and Joela all the best of luck and we know they are going to the very best homes. Thankyou we hope the stallions give you as much pleasure as they have us over the years, they are very special and much loved boys.

We're sorting all the ponies out for winter now so the boys are meeting each other again up on the hill. Pickles Quentin and Ulysses are up there with Spike and Zephyr to join them soon. Ulrik is going to keep Bobby Socks company and Maverick, Valentine and Indigo are staying down for a bit more TLC.
