It's way too long for a post! :)

What a great story!!!!! You are bringing back some fabulous horses. Many congratulations!

I loved your bit about the driving. I've been here 8 years now and still clench my butt cheeks rather tightly when driving through small villages! It's even better when you're in a Lorry or with a box up behind you!

I know you've had a rough year so I'm glad you had such a wonderful time.

I only had a chance to skim the story to see what your great news was!

Congrats, he is totally adorable!

[Fantastic]

I have to say: you have such an amazing breeding program! You should be so proud!:) Your horses are to die for; each and every one of them! They all ooze quality!

Marmaduke is ooo-la-la!
So is Martini, and Manilla! Yummy!


Wishing you continued success!:yes:

[SilverBalls]

Awesome!!!!

[EquusMagnificus]

Wow! What a fascinating trip! Lucky you :)

[showjumpers66]

That is fantastic!

[ponykick]

What lovely ponies!! I love the face on Manilla. :)

[Molly Malone]

What a superb collection you have bought. Congratulations! Both fillies are to die for..... but the boy..... he is superb.

And doesn't Mynarch Mary Rose looks like her sire?

[Rhyadawn]

That's awsome news!

How many boys will you be standing now???

That's awsome news!

How many boys will you be standing now???

We currently have three, and will geld *Holyoake Copper-Field this fall, so will continue to have three. Though Eyarth Eragon is still young and unproven, so we will see where that goes. He's matured nicely, but is definitely not as big as I'd hoped. Being that he was a late foal, and the last out of an old mare, I am hoping he will produce a little more size than he himself has. We'll see what his future holds.

I believe Marmaduke will be the next focus of our breeding program.

Well done!!!
Lovely ponies.

Just...wow! Marmaduke is a yummy, yummy little muffin! He's already that *that* presence that is not always seen but is SO regal. Just stunning :yes:

Marianne is amazing!! That side view of her with that elegant neck gave me goosebumps!

My goodness, that scenery is just amazing :eek: I LOVE the Ha-Ha, what a great concept!

Stunning scenery, stunning ponies, cool cows and sheep, and what a lucky, fortunate person you guys are to be bringing back a few pieces of that world :yes:

[unbridledoaks]

They are lovely!!! That palomino filly.... O..M..G!!!! I just LOVE HER!

[Jessi P]

Wow, lovely pones and fabulous pics. ;) :yes::):yes:

[rideagoldenpony]

Thank you all SO MUCH! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I think having seen them in person, I am just that much more anxious to have them standing in my barn. We still have quite a wait however, as I don't foresee them arriving before mid October. Waiting impatiently!

[poltroon]

I wanna go shopping with YOU. :D :D :D :D

THAT is a proper shopping trip!

[lauriep]

Gretchen, that is such a dream come true!! I'm "pea green with envy" as Scotland is on my "must visit" list. What amazing ponies, as well! Congratulations on your purchases! Now, sit back and enjoy the anticipation...
