The Stud has bred Shetland
ponies, connemara ponies and thoroughbred’s over the years. We have
competed with Shetlands in four-hand FEI driving competitions at
international level, won the pairs Private Driving and Reserve
Supreme champions at The Royal Show with them.
Our thoroughbred’s have raced with success
for us and in particular Eastlands Monkey out of the Vulgan mare
Vulyere; her half-sister Light O’Love who was the dam of
Eastlands Hi-light. Hi-light affectionately known as Alfie
was a trier and always thereabouts, and contributed to our
pension fund!. His sister Snowdrop had her first foal by
the connemara stallion Lockinge Frederick
in2006, and the youngest of the
brood is due to him in 2007.
At the moment we concentrate on breeding connemara ponies and our stud stallion is the premium stallion Lockinge Frederick, bred by the late Mrs. Hester Knight. We ha ve 9 brood mares.
Our horses and ponies live out and run
together on our hill farm which is 600ft to 2000ft above sea
level. They learn to cross ditches, dykes and natural obstacles
from an early age.
We are situated close to the border with
England, and access is Via the M6 and A(M74).
We love visitors,
but please ring first. The budget airlines Ryanair; Easyjet
and BMI Baby all have flights from the area (Glasgow Prestwick;
Newcastle, or Edinburgh)
