NEWSLETTER – Christmas, 2004
Another
year
is
drawing
to
a
close –
a
year
in
which
our
pupils
have
been
very
successful
at
shows
and
lots
of
new
people
have
commenced
having
lessons.
We
have
several
new
people agisting
horses
here

it
is
nice
to
welcome

year
was
one
of
our
most
successful
Royal Shows.

Saddle
Pony
and
then
met
the Supremes
of
other
pony
breeds
to
be
Supreme
of
the Supremes.
The
drought
has
continued
to
cause
difficulties
for
the
stud
over
the
last 4
years.
We
decided
not
to
mate
many
of
our
mares
due
to
the
shortage
of
feed
so
will
have
only
a
few
foals
this
year.
Our
Clearance
Sale
has
almost
come
to
the
end
as
horse

are

our
target.

new
Sale
list
is
available
with
some
lovely
horses
in
it..
