Diptford Amazing Grace (imp)
Barkway Overture x Diptford April Shower
It was with great excitement and good fortune that at the end of 2009, we were able to secure the purchase of the spectacular mare, Diptford Amazing Grace. After such an incredible season under saddle in the UK, we though a mare of this calibre would be out of our league. But thanks to Ron & Debbie Thomas the Sale was soon finalised. Gracie's show career rival the best in the world. In 2009, she was awarded Champion Show Pony at the Royal International Horse Show, The Blue Riband Show Pony winner at the BSPS Summer Championships, she had major win at Devon County, Bath & West and the culmination of her year was the Charlotte Morgan Champion Show Pony at the coveted Horse of the Year Show.
After her purchase, we had her covered by the exceptional sire Cusop Dimension, who is a producer of many HOYS winners. We expect this cross to be brilliant with 7 crosses to Bwlch Valentino just on the 1st five generations. Sadly we lost her Dimesnion Filly due to complications in February 2011
Grace stand at 13.2hh and is 7 years old.
Grace in currently in foal to Turberry Tom Kitten IMP for a August 2012 foal.

Cennen Pioneer imp x Starlight Kingdom TB
Prim was purchased for Stacey Nash by her Mum Sharon and Helen. She was purchased from Ann Smiley and Veronica Manifold of Victoria.
Prim is a 14.2 1/2hh rich mahogany bay mare with the most amazing movement and the most divine face. Before traveling to Western Australia she had won Runner up National Newcomer at the National Riding Pony. Prim carries all the bloodlines we wished as a future broodmare that we had lost with the infertility of Pendragon. Prim had two successful seasons with us until injury forced us to retire her. Prim has produced us a lovely bay colt Thorne Parks Poetry by Rathowen True Blue (Courtland Boy Blue x Rathowen Russet) who has consistently proven himself by winning a broad sash at every show he has attended and recently come with Supreme of Supreme's at a recent breed show as a two year old colt.
Primadonna foaled a superb dark brown colt with a blaze and two front white socks on the 8th of November. This super colt will be available for sale upon weaning to the best of show homes.
