25.01.2022 The school is coming along nicely, supervised by Toby the Airedale (whose favourite part is when the workmen leave their lunches within his reach).
24.01.2022 Harebell says 7 1/2 months is far too early to be weaned.
24.01.2022 Do your horses get greedy at feeding time?
24.01.2022 Next to foal??? Molly’s Eden Benara (by Aran Milano), in foal to to Blueberry Hills Stormcloud
24.01.2022 The very first Connemara we ever bred - Blandings Florin by Connemara Park Kenneth from a lovely big APSB mare Colmonell Pandy. Such a fun pony!
23.01.2022 Dilemma! - I bought this gorgeous (imho) TB mare by Outback Prince to add to my sport horse broodmare herd. But she is lovely to ride!

18.01.2022 New mare for our Sporthorse programme. Very elegant and sweet natured. By Bel Esprit from a Rubiton mare
18.01.2022 Why I breed Connemaras: Connemaras are versatile - they are THE pony for jumping (top pony SJ in France), they do dressage (at the highest level), they do stockwork, they do harness, they hunt, they do endurance, they love PC and ARC games, Cowboy Dressage, Western Equitation, equine therapy, babysitting and nannying, mowing the lawn and just being loved Connemaras have charm and personality ... Connemaras are very beautiful! Connemaras are nice to ride - good paces and length of stride, very sure-footed, up to weight, not too narrow, and will work all day Connemaras are strong - well up to weight Connemaras are tough - hardy - long-lived - easily maintained - they have good feet - but above all, they are kind, co-operative, sane and sensible The same Connemara might look after an RDA rider and take an advanced rider round a 1.4m course Crossed with a TB, ID or WB they can produce top-level performers (even to Olympic level) Crossed with a small pony they can produce first ponies for young children They jump, too!
18.01.2022 So exciting when your slow maturing 2 year old filly seems to realise shes officially 3 and suddenly grows into a very pleasing mare! Boonahburra Sandpiper (Frederiksminde Hazy Cavalier - Boonahburra Mudlark)
17.01.2022 As well as our purebred mares we also have some good TB mares, these are Kabloom on the left and Anne of Brittany on the right.
17.01.2022 DIY float training when you accidentally leave the ramp down.
14.01.2022 Horses for courses, and thinking about bone. The Connemara in front is up to weight and would hunt or work stock all day, while I suspect the exquisite Riding Pony behind believes that if you are is beautiful as she is she doesn’t need to work.

13.01.2022 Welcome to follow Swedish Connemara Pony Societys posts during September as "the Breed society of the month" on Swedish Horse Board FB site.
11.01.2022 It has been like Christmas here this weekend with the arrival of two long awaited mares. Mollys Eden Benara was purchased in February with her lifelong friend Mollys Pallerang (I bought Pallerang as I did not want these two old friends to be separated) but Eden Benara resisted all attempts to load her for many months. She arrived last night in the dark on a cattle truck and walked down the cattle ramp in our yards like the queen she is! One of the few remaining progeny of ARA...N MILANO and a granddaughter of ARDAN, her bloodlines are a valuable asset to the stud. Then this morning the charming young buckskin mare Torchwood Faolchu Dana boarded a flight in Auckland and arrived here this afternoon (which I find quite amazing!), she is by SUN N AIR OF SUMMER VALLEY so something a bit different as he is out of a GANTY CHAMP mare out of BLANDINGS HENRIETTA, the first purebred Connemara I ever bred and so brings back a little CLONKEEHAN ARCHER to Australia. (
11.01.2022 Blandings Tickety-Boo (Sheelin Grove Seamus Victor - Strickland Park Peekaboo) was born very windswept and has been confined until this morning. She is pretty much right now and mum and foal (and me!) happy they are out.
11.01.2022 Pretty little face Blandings Boston Rose (Blueberry Hills Stormcloud - Roscommon Rose Albertine)
10.01.2022 Saw this on a kitchen wall in a certain house lastnight and I just had to take a picture of it!! ...... no names mentioned!!
10.01.2022 I love my mares
09.01.2022 I love this, and it is so true A Good Mare Theres something different about the way a good mare connects with her rider. Its special. Like an unspoken agreement. Once a mare chooses you as her person, its like she has an instinct to protect you, to fight for you. Its almost as if she takes ownership of you.... I believe the good mares have a deep sense of intuition. They can read your mind. They know what youre thinking even before you do. The good mares I know breathe fire in the face of challenge and then somehow, miraculously, know to quiet themselves when a timid child is plopped on their back for a pony ride. They are clever, cunning and calculated, which can be your greatest enemy or your saving grace. The good mares I know do not tolerate egotistical riding. They do not tolerate force. They demand tact, finesse and emotional control. But once you have won a mares heart, you have won all of her. In exchange for your bestand nothing lessshe will give you everything.

07.01.2022 Blandings Bobbys Girl, all grown up. She is a granddaughter of our original stallion Blandings Bobby (iiu) who was by Carna Bobby.
07.01.2022 Delighted to have acquired frozen semen from this pony! and just in time for the southern hemisphere stud season!
05.01.2022 Bouncing into the new stud season! Blandings Gugutka (Blueberry Hills Stormcloud - Yggdrasil Celtic Frost). She combines the very precious breeding of Laurel with a pony Ive always admired, Wychwood Snowbird and she is as nice as I hoped - definitely a mating to repeat this year!
05.01.2022 The thoroughbred Winter was gifted to the CPBS in 1941 when they wanted to add some quality to the pony. He died two years later before he could make his mark... and his best son Creganna Winter was not a great success. The experiment seemed to have failed and it was many years later when two of our outstanding stallions, Abbeyleix Owen and particularly Templebready Fear Bu, focused attention once again on Winters contribution. Fear Bui has Winter in his sire and dam line. It appears through Winters son Creganna Winter in the sire line and through Winters daughter Rose of Killola in the mare line. Fear Bu also has Little Heaven top and bottom and a third thoroughbred, Buckna, is represented twice by Carna Bobby. It is this extraordinary confluence of thoroughbred blood that made Fear Bu the outstanding sire of performance ponies that he was. He was unique in another way in that covering thoroughbred mares in England for a time he produced some of the best sport horses in Europe in that time. A winner of the Performance testing in January 94 Fear Bu was bred by Carol Seigne and owned by Dan O Brien See more

02.01.2022 Please dont over rug this winter! Thirty years ago most ponies were roughed off, turned out at grass to grow a coat and come in ribby in the spring before pu...tting the weight back on in a natural yo-yo dieting fashion. To achieve this homeostasis the endocrine system will relay a whole series of messages about food consumption and storage, energy transmission, suppression or increase of appetite, depression of energy expenditure, coat growth, hair thickness and time to shed the excess hair. Part of this system is circadian in nature (around a 24hour period) and relies largely upon light, but part of the system relies on seasonal temperatures and nutrient availability. The problem with modern horses/ponies affected by metabolic syndrome is that the nutrients they receive are in excess of the nutrients they require and this is compounded by the fact that horses are no longer expected to, travel long distances in search of food, cope with extreme or variable temperatures, or grow thick winter coats and shed them at least 4 times throughout the four seasons of the year. Winter coat growth, hair loss and shedding use a metabolic energy (AKT) pathway which involves both insulin and glucose, this means lowering circulating levels of plasma insulin and use of an excess store of energy. Over-rugging horses and native ponies or long periods in the stables during the winter/autumn/early summer months will deprive them of the ability to use up this excess glucose and fat storage. The increased problem of a horse with equine metabolic syndrome is that the fat deposits of adipose tissue contain an independent endocrine signaling system with at least 4 hormones governing weight loss, energy output and weight control. Most importantly; homeostasis of weight maintenance and appetite is governed by a balanced set of signals given out both by the adipose tissue and the gastrointestinal tract. In obese horses with large adipose deposits particularly in the neck shoulders and tail area there will be an increased volume of adipose hormones released which easily outbalance the hormones released from the gut and the vital homeostasis of appetite and weight control is compromised and further weight gain is the result. As well as hormones of weight control and appetite, adipose tissue also releases a whole series of inflammatory chemicals which put the physiology of the horse into a pro inflammatory state, disrupt the normal circulation of the foot and together with circulating insulin play a major part in the onset of many disease states including laminitis. Therefore the most important goal is to control adipose tissue gain in order to limit the abnormal and high volumes of signaling hormones that disrupt appetite, influence weight gain, circulation and gastrointestinal function, raise circulating insulin levels and eventually result in an episode of laminitis. There are understandably many problems for owners in the UK wanting to leave their horses out for the winter especially those living in very wet areas or on livery yards that do not want to ruin their limited grazing, this can be challenging and below are a few practical points to manage the diet and weigh gain of your horse not only through the winter but throughout the whole year. Try not to rug too early, allow your horse to grow a good winter coat and be roughed off or let down for at least 8 weeks through the autumn/winter, this is vital for his metabolism, getting cold and wet causes the release of energy from fat stores. For some horses being turned out until Christmas is sufficient to use up the fat stored as adipose tissue, this avoids the worse months of January and February which can be even more cold and wet. Avoid feeding hard feed which may contain hidden sugars, some labels are misleading and describe the amount of sugar added to the feed extra to what it contains naturally. Obviously it is impossible for many horse owners to go back to rugless winter turn out as a method of adipose tissue control and this is why we as a company in conjunction with three leading bioscience universities are actively involved in the development of compounds from native plant species to help diminish adipose tissue and its detrimental effects on the health and wellbeing of the horse. Affluent malnutrition publishes the latest research of feeding natural types of feed and plants which benefit good health including the latest research on EMS and obesity.
