Height: 16.2hh
Colour: Black
Breed: German Rheinlander
Sire: Rosenkoenig
http://www.superiorequinesires.com/stallions/rosenkonig.htm
Dam: Top Gramona
Rhonda is simply one of the most stunning horses I have ever seen. Her looks, conformation and movement are practically faultless. Combined with her impeccable breeding, her grand sire being the legendary Rubinstein, she is a very exciting breeding prospect for us. She had her first foal in June 2013 by Franklyn Sugar and a second foal to Lord Leatherdale in August 2014. After weaning her foal she returned to ridden work. She quickly amassed Petplan and regional qualifications at Novice Level, gaining four 70%+ scores and one 80%+ score from 7 starts and a 6th place finish at the Novice Open Area Festival at Myerscough.
She will be aimed at Winter Regionals 2016 and then move to elementary level.

MAJOR WOOD
Stable name: Woody
Height: 14.2hh
Breed: Irish
Sire: Unknown
Dam: Unknown
Woody really was my pony of a lifetime and the main reason I chose a career with horses.
He was bought at 13 years old having show jumped to within a few pounds of JA. He had a change of career to eventing when we got him, something he had never done but took to immediately. He went from being a bit of a wild child to one of the most consistent event ponies on the Pony Club circuit - proving lots of people wrong in the process. He was the bravest pony I've ever sat on and I have so much to thank him for. Woody retired from competing in his late teens and is now happily living out his days in our fields.
Some of his results include:
- Selected Pony Club Area show jumping and eventing teams every year
- Placed regularly BE Pre Novice
-Selected FEI Pony Trials
- Clear XC Gatcombe FEI Pony Trial
- 1st Team and Individual Pony Club Cheshire Shield
-1st Team and Individual Pony Club Rosebowl
- 4th Pony Club Area Horse Trials
-Winner Sir WWW's Pony Club Open Horse Trials 2004, 2005, 2006 (BE Novice Level)

Sire: Arctic Cue
Dam: Gratins Darling
Eamon combined a successful eventing career to novice level with being a key member of the Burton Cheshire Forest Pony Club area teams with Ben Gaskell.

FLAREPATH
Stable name: Donna
Height:
Breed: British Warmblood
Sire: Furisto
Dam: Phantom Wings
Flarepath was a horse that changed all our lives. She was bred by Liz by her own Stallion Furisto out of one of the yard's riding school mares. It was always known that she had great talent but she would go on to be one of the most successful british bred mares of all time.
The sale of Flarepath to Michael and Veronique Whittaker enabled Liz to purchase Dee Farm, although that is where the hard work really began!
Some of her results include:
1st Rome Nations Cup 1991
1st World Cup qualifier - London, Olympia 1991
9th World Cup Final 1994
