SUNWILLOW ROSCOE starts his long journey to Australia, being led off to quarantine in Newmarket, the smallest pony there but I know he will make up for it in personality! Many thanks to Liesl for taking such good care of him and we wish Margaret Lucas,of the Dalgangle Stud, Victoria, Australia, all the best and hope Roscoe produces for her some lovely foals in the future.

SUNWILLOW PARIS (I know I have a long way to go but I am trying to behave, like my half brother Sunwillow Jubilee!) With the help of my next door neighbour Sharon, we have started to break in Paris and this photo was taken after only 3 weeks of Sharon just lying over his back. He is being such a good boy, trotting over poles, cantering, he seems to love all this attention.

LANGEVOREN REUBEN goes home to Mr.S de Kanter, Holland. Reuben has been an absolute pleasure to have on the stud and I am very gratefull to Mr. de Kanter for letting me lease him. I have been delighted with his foals this year and am very excited about next years crop of foals, fingers crossed for some fillies.

SUNWILLOW JUBILEE went to the Sports Pony Studbook Stallion Grading, as you can see Salima spent hours plating, but it was well worth the effort with Jubilee being graded the 3rd highest scoring stallion(less than 0.5% off being Reserve Champion). Well done to team Jubilee, is there nothing this pony can't do!

WP&CS SPRING SALE a day not to be repeated with some Criccieth owned ponies coming forward for sale in very very poor condition. We have since been rung by Mr. Court, of Brightwells, who has assured us that the pony Sunwillow Hernani has gone to a super home, which we are delighted about but sad that this ever happened. We hope the condition of ponies at these sales never look as bad again.
