Ivan has a weeks holiday and after a very successful trip to Stansted for an ISPC meeting with the Mother Stud Book and the other Daughter stud books, we started the week with a visit to Stutteri Egedal to see Nelsons first born !!
Nelson’s mares have arrived and we now have all the stallions running with their mares for 2009
17th to 20th Well a very busy weekend for us, beginning on Friday and a trip to Sjælland for the Hoppekåring and also for me to meet my niece Flora, at Copenhagen Airport, she has come for a 4 week holiday. On Saturday and Sunday we were in Randers, results Monday and a visit from the vet to scan our mares and the results are good, we have 3 visiting mares to Nelson and Cracker and all are in foal, we have run 7 mares, 4 are definitely in foal and the other 3 have gone back to the 3 stallions for another couple of weeks, just to be sure.
27/08/09 We are back from our visit to Shetland and the SPSBS Breed show 2009 and we had a fantastic time, visiting studs, watching the shows, meeting old friends and making many new ones. We were also able to visit Connie (Riccalton Stud ) and although a short visit we were able to catch up and see the new foals, so photos on her web site !!

12. Oktober New look and many changes to the web site!
10 & 11 Oktober We would like once again to say a big thank you to Karina Madsen. Working with 7 ponies and achieving 1 blue & 6 red she was then placed 1st, 2nd and 4th and had the best mare on the day who was only ½ a point behind the winning gelding.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx With the leaves on the trees almost gone and the feel of the winter to come, the ponies are happy to start on the new haylage !
27/12/09 We have had a very hard weekend with two of our mares very ill and sadly today we have had to say goodbye to Riccalton Pansy. Pansy was a great character and will be very sadly missed by us .
