We believe Silver has jumped
BSJA, we are going to try and follow up her show records and
past history in due course.
She came to us with the
intention of producing her to sell after her owners had found
she was too much for their daughter. She proved to be
very difficult under saddle and we came to the decision she
was unsafe to ride. She is a lovely person who we think
may have had a lot of pressure in the showjumping arena and it
has blown her mind.
We have loose jumped her and
she has a fabulous jump.
We discussed her future with
her owners, and we all came to the decision we would keep her
as a brood mare so she didnt get pushed from home to home, on
the understanding she doesnt get ridden
again.
We decided with the jump she
has to put a showjumping stallion on her and carefully chose a
superb Netherland New Forest called Fabian, who is a young
Sports Pony Graded Stallion who is proving outstanding in his
first year of BSJA showjumping, she took in foal on the first
covering and her first foal "Sally" was born on the 14th March
2008.
We graded Silver with a score
of 78.7% with the SPSS 13th October 2007, she proved very
popular having decided to do the loose jumping of her own
accord - even though being in foal she wasnt expected to
jump!!!!

grading...
Silver is now out for the
Winter looking forward to her foal coming in the early Spring,
we are all very excited about it, shes not quite as clean as
she was for the grading but looks just as well!!! We
have used a German Riding Pony Hilkens Black Delight as a
choice for 2009 he is absolutely stunning and has some
fantastic results in Germany so we look forward to see what
she will produce for her second foal.

For 2008 Foal - Fabian
standing at the Meadow Stud ....
We had a trip to Willoughby Equestrian
Centre to meet Fabian, Toby, who rides him and his dad Craig
Gardener he had the most fantastic temperament, and superb
jump, as stunning in the flesh as his advertisement photos,
Craig and Toby were fantastic people who had time to introduce
us to him and talk at length, even though they were
incredibly busy with ponies competing in all
classes!!!!!
We'd like to wish them all the best
success in the future.
