Bronheulog Sunstep and Charlotte Smith clear in the 133 Winter Champs Novice WHP Final
We have been very pleased with our novices in the first half of the 2017 season. Bronheulog Sunstep has jumped some brilliant rounds including a 2nd place in the RIHS Open 133 WHP at BSPS Area 10 and other great rounds in what is a new level for her and her jockey Charlotte Smith.

We have some new members of the team and some of the other novices having a well earned rest and a chance to grow and mature.

Telynau Mateus who was well placed but unlucky in the RIHS FR qualifiers has gone off to a new home to teach a little girl to ride and take her out showing, what a fantastic pony he is and we are very proud of him. 

We are enjoying the sunshine and looking forward to getting some new combinations out! xoxo

The Christmas break is over and we're looking forward to the 2017 season!
This years runners and riders include the 4 year old novice lead rein show hunter pony Annandale Golden Ticket owned by Siobhan Spruce and ridden by her daughter Darci. We took her out for a cheeky spin in hand before Christmas and were thrilled with her results and how she performed, one for the future!
We also have a novice intermediate Llogel Mr Bob (by Balfour Whisper) and a novice section B Techon Erin. Alongside that will be our stable  Queen Doylan Elegant Gift and  another working hunter pony Bronheulog Sunstep who will be stepping up to restricted/open plaited 13hh workers this time.  We've already had a few outings at Anthony Perkins clinics courtesy of BSPS Area 9A and show show jumping. Looking forward to our new combinations and all the fun of the summer season!!

As the leaves begin to fall and autumn breezes give the air a chill we have called an end to our very successful Summer 2016 season. What a busy time we've had!  We are so proud of all our combinations; Darci Campbell with  Vicky Andrew's Colne Pookie who qualified for the Royal International and won a good few championship ribbons, Darci and Telynau Mateus who has exceeded all expectations in such a short time ending with a 3rd place in a strong open LR SP class at Monmouth County Show. Wian Henry our noivce 13hh SHP has been placed at nearly every show, he's amounted a great deal of points for his jockey Jasmine Radford, fingers crossed for the Area 4A points evening! Bronheulog Sunstep has jumped so well all summer with her 'catch' jockeys and my own Techon Erin has been 1st or 2nd in all her classes. Gillian Sell's Priestwood Indiana Jones has won 3 classes and gained a championship in just 3 shows and my little Doylan Elegant Gift as always picked up placings every time out. We have slowed things down a little and the ponies are enjoying well earned long days in the field. Our huge thanks go to sponsors Fly Away Groom Away Ltd for their fantastic grooming products and fly repellents and of course all the owners, clients and friends who help us so much all year!! Looking forward to Fayre Oaks sale and the Horse of the Year Show!!

PictureWian Henry qualified for the Royal International Horse Show 2016
We are thrilled to announce that the Playn Acre Farm Show Team secured two tickets to the Royal International Horse Show in less than a week!! Colne Pookie surpassed herself last week with three shows, three classes and three championships- two Champions and one reserve champion!! She and jockey Darci Campbell started with a win in the heritage class and championship at Kinglands Show Leominster, then stood second and reserve champion to current HOY's champion Thistledown Van Der Vaart at NPS area 29 followed up with a win and champion in a very strong RIHS qualifier at Staffordshire County Show!!! Wow what a week and what a pony!!!
Saturday saw us tripping off down to Royal Bath and West and our beautiful 13hh SHP WIAN Henry gained his ticket in the open show hunter ponies. Just a novice pony in his very first season, Henry came to us in September 2015 unable to even canter a circle after being labelled 'sharp' and left in a small field for  many months. He has blossomed into a fantastic pony with a temperament to die for, Bath and West being the busiest show he has ever attended, he took everything in his stride and produced a beautiful show. We are very proud of the ponies and their jockeys.
We also attended our area NPS area 12 WHP festival on Thursday and Doylan Elegant Gift and Bronheulog Sunstep both ridden by Georgie Toole gained a 3rd apiece in their classes jumping beautifully. What a week!!! Thank you to everyone who has helped- of which there are so many in our fabulous team and to our sponsors Fly Away Groom Away Ltd.

PictureBrynely Lleucu & Senay Tilki
We have had a very enjoyable start to 2016 bringing out novice ponies and new combinations. Also our sponsorship arrangements with Fly Away Groom Away (fly repellents and grooming products) and Bespoke Bandages will both continue throughout 2016, we couldn't be more pleased!!! Our super novice ponies have brought some great results with Wian Henry winning both the novice and open mixed height show hunter ponies at NCPA Spring Spectacular and gained his card for the BSPS Summer champs in August. Brynely Lleucu and new partner Senay Tilki won the novice m&m lead rein and went on to be mini champions at NPS area 13 at Onley Grounds. Bronheulog Sunstep has jumped boldly at her first two worker shows and has also completed a dressage test and combined training competition with success and we have welcomed new face Colne Pookie who will contest m&m lead rein classes with jockey Darci Campbell through 2016. We are excited for the season ahead and whatever ribbons they recieve love to see our ponies and jockeys confidence grow. Good Luck to all our fellow competitors, look forward to catching up!!! xoxo

PictureBrynely Lleucu
Our winter season has started with a host of new faces, after selling most of our ponies at the end of the summer season; except of course my best friend Doylan Elegant Gift who will stay with us forever.  New ponies include Brynely Lleucu a 5 year old section A mare for the first ridden, Bronheulog Sunstep a 7 year old section B mare for the workers, Wian Henry an 8 year old section B gelding for the 13hh SHP and quite recently Rhostydynn Rosina a 10 year old section D mare who we will produce slowly as she is very poor at present. We will produce all and each ponies individual strengths and weaknesses will be deciphered and improved. And we will look forward to showing them all and eventually finding new families for them, in the meantime we are enjoying them all as they are ALL such sweet ponies!!! So lucky!!!

PictureTechon Erin 2 year old section B by Rotherwood Goldfinger x Techon Carol (Sianwood Arcade)
Looking forward to a nice quiet time, and some winter shows! We took our 2 year old section B filly Techon Erin to Kington Agricultural Show and she won the 2/3 year old colt/filly/gelding and was reserve champion section B at her first show! We were thrilled with her and how she behaved, she will now be aimed at a couple of medal shows and the Royal Welsh Winter Fair.
One of our favourite shows NCPA POY's passed with success with Doylan Elegant Gift jumping clear and gaining 2nd in the open 13hh whp and little Llafar Monaco again surpassing himself at just his 3rd show for a 3rd in the FYFR and 3rd in the open 12hh SHP. He along with Doylan Dazling Gift (5 year old 14hh WPBR) and Pontgam Summer Breeze (11 year old sec A mare FYFR) will be presented at the Fayre Oaks sale September 26th, so don't miss out!
We also said goodbye to our friends Doylan Claudia and Doylan Beau Jest who have gone to fantastic new homes, we are so pleased for them! Looking forward to what autumn and winter  brings :) xoxo

PictureOldeworlde Dominatrix 5 year old sec C mare 3rd at Royal Three Counties in the M&M 133cm novice whp
Our team has expanded and we're pleased to say we've had some success along with some trying day with our 2015 team of novices. 4 year old dartmoor Chafford Kinsman has shone in the M&M First ridden with jockey Jasmine Radford, never finishing out of the top 3 he won his class at Royal Three Counties and went Mini M&M Novice champion in front of his owners Georgie Toole and her mum at their 'local' county show.
Doylan Elegant Gift had a small blip at Midland Counties and Cheshire County but seems to have recovered her composure at the last two shows the TSR Gala and BSPS Area 4A.
Doylan Beau Jest has been Mr consistent with more clear rounds and placings in bsps novice 143cms whp.
Oldeworlde Dominatrix section C mare owned by Victoria Burton has produced more clears than I can count in the M&M 133cms whp and has narrowly missed out on her final at nps champs gaining 3rd at Royal Three Counties and Nps area 25 most recently.
Bannut Orion our yearling section B surpassed himself with 4th at the Royal Welsh show in the youngstock shp.
Doylan Dazzling Gift won the nps show hunter pony and was reserve champion at nps area 25 and will compete at the champs. We  look forward to the nps champs next week with Dazzling Gift, Beau Jest, Elegant Gift, Oldeworlde Dominatrix , Chafford Kinsman and new team member Llafar Monaco Good Luck to everyone competing there! xoxo
