 Diamaid, 5yr old gelding
Just thought I would write to thank you for all your help when we purchased Diarmaid and to let you know how he’s getting on. Diarmaid settled in brilliantly as soon as he got here and everyone at the yard loves him. He has a best friend called Vagabond, a little black Shetland.
I have been hacking out a lot and he has been brilliant. We have also been jumping small courses getting him used to all sorts of different jumps and he never refuses!
I’m spoiling Diarmaid as I’m buying him lots of new things like rugs and numnahs. We have also just bought our show gear as we plan to take him to a few local shows soon.
We had our first gallop on a big open field and he was not strong at all. We will be taking him to Horseshoe Farm very soon to jump the x-country fences.
We always try and keep him looking smart although it’s a bit difficult in the winter! He loves his food like always! Thanks again he is the horse of my dreams and always will be.
A few months later.............
Just writing to tell you that Diarmaid and I are going from strength to strength. We did really well at a hunter trial jumping straw bales, fallen trees and hay mangers as well as many other scary fences. You would think that he'd been to shows all his life as he didn't look at anything and wasn't at all hyped up. I don't know what I would do without him, I love him so much.

 Donnie, 4 year old gelding
We have only had Donnie since April 2009 but he has come on amazingly well in every way. I hack out on him and he's so good ,new things don't faze him at all and he takes everything in his stride. He's great to catch, load, with the farrier and loves to be groomed and fussed over.
I recently got him a set of western tack and he looks so cute in it, he has a new full wardrobe, all in purple and recently went on to hard feed which he loves, especially pony nuts!
I was a little dubious about getting a 4 year old baby, but I couldn't ask for a better pony. I will never ever part with my boy, every day he amazes me with how good he is. I recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a pony best friend, she has the best cobs ever, knows her charges very well and clearly loves them all very much. Thanks Tanya, at 34 he's my lifetime dream achieved.

 Bob, 8 year old geldingI just wanted to thank you for finding me the absolute perfect pony. He has such a lovely personality and so much character he always keeps me smiling.
We bonded from day one and he is restoring all of my lost confidence. I am enjoying riding all over again!
An absolute poppet in the school, knows his job and does as he is asked.
I can't wait to send you or first ever show pics, hopefully it won't be long before I can.
Thank you again - Love Gina and Bob
 Scout, yearling colt
Just a quick message to say Scout is doing really well and is now happy to follow me in the morning in to the field and back again on a night without a lead rope, yes that's right! I just shout him and he plods up the field and into his stable. He has also made a new friend in Jack his stable mate next door, he follows him around the field like a little puppy. Well that's about it he's settled in great, loves company and we are so happy with him. Thanks for a great little cob, he was just as you said.
Take care - Paula
Strawberry, 3yr old stallion
Just to let you know, Strawberry has settled in brilliantly. The first day he was a little bit anxious, to be expected! I put him out to let him have a good look round his surroundings, he decided the grass was greener on the otherside and jumped a huge hedge with a brook on the otherside. He ran around with the mares and foals for a while and got beaten up by my daughters gelding (Bobbisox was obviously protecting his woman :-) ) he then came straight to me, let me in that nasty boy is hurting me !! I brought him in, washed him off and he went and munched hay happily. He hasn't been any bother since. He goes out now with electric fencing along the hedge and keeps his distance. He loves Joseph the donkey and plays for ages with him.
He is going to be broken to drive in 4 weeks, so hopefully that will give him a job over the winter. He really is a sweetie and loves his cuddles. Also like you said he will play with ANYTHING that is left within his reach, so he now has a stable full of toys, jolly ball, football, likits and a vitamin lick attached to the wall, he plays all day with them then sticks his head over the door with a muzzle covered in treacle !!
Thank you for your wonderful speedy delivery of my super boy, I'll post you some pics when he is in shafts.
Thanks again, take care. Jo & George
