I have to say one of my top ponies was "Plumpton Mountain Spring".
A wonderful first ridden / lead rein pony who would look after the smallest of jockey's .
Mind, get her in the ring now and she would look out of place aginst the finer show ponies now - how times have changed!

Agree with you tamba. My mum used to show the ponies at Lennel Stud. They would have way to much bone for riding ponies these days |

14.2 SP Royal Bronze.
INT SHP/Small Hunter Baileys Over Ice- moved on air!
LW HUNTER- Mr McEvoy (when it was on form!) Modern day fav is Finn Mcool!
14h SHP- Touch of The Tobies, Sion Brion, or Scottish Quest! (Can't decide!) Modern SHP's don't have the bone and substance that these had!
COBS- Super Ted! (Had such an amazing record!) Modern day fav cobs would be So Smart and Keystone Cob for HW's and Casanova and Tommy Tucker for LW's.
WHP- Mytilene. Modern day fav is Freckleton Maximus, and for horse workers Libby Cooke's brown horse! (Can't remember its name!!) Or Out Of Sight!
RIDING HORSE- Broadstone Doulton, or modern day Philanderer and Sirius.

From the past fav 12.2 sp Trelawn imperial mint and Trelawn royal mint Walter was destined to come our way to come out under saddle but my mother wouldn't let me have him as we were rather 'full' at the time! I never let her forget how successful he became under saddle- a lovely pony. |
