Melbourne Summer Royal Penmain Posh again exceeded our expectations. Posh (Fernleigh Fine Print/Kirreway Rendezvous) took out the Supreme APSB Riding Pony Sash and then went on stand in the final 5 for the “Best in Show” award. We are thrilled to have had a yearling in this lineup of supreme champions. Posh will now be offered for sale as a top saddle prospect. Over in New Zealand it was a thrill to go over and watch Penmain Lilly of the Valley (Fernleigh Fine Print/Sufton Wild Rose) take out the Reserve Champion Led Pony of the Year award. This class is open age, open sex which meant that our little Lilly stood over some of New Zealand’s top ponies. Lilly was also runner up Riding Pony Exhibit to the winner of the open class. Lilly has had an amazing season for KS Showhorses in New Zealand, as has her Penmain stable mate Penmain All A Glitter who has dominated the coloured ring as a two year old this season.

We are extremely pleased with our Sandbourne Royal Ensign stock, Sufton Wild Rose’s chestnut colt Charles [seen opposite] is really something special and he is to be retained by the stud at this stage as a potential future sire.
He is expected to mature up to 13.2. Rosie is back in foal again to Sandbourne Royal Ensign for a November 2008 foal.
Kolbeach Catwalk’s (Syon Splendour/Tbred) bay foal [opposite] is superb and of extreme type, he is beautifully marked with a lovely turn of front, he is available at weaning. This foal is definite colt material, but if gelded would make a top shelf show or dressage galloway as he is expected to mature up to 14.2hh Catwalk will be put back in foal to Sandbourne Royal Ensign.
Darcy is simply stunning and has an unflappable temperament, the same as his mum, who is one of the favourites here at Penmain. Darcy is full brother to Kolbeach Promise and Kolbeach Vogue and is expected to mature up to 14.2hh. Darcy will be offered for sale at weaning to an approved home only. Dale is now in foal to Sandbourne Royal Ensign for an October 2008 foal.
Kolbeach Sands (Fernleigh Fine Print/Braemar Seashells) has produced a lovely chestnut colt by Cherrington Damascus, to make 13.2hh pictures below. The Fernleigh Fine Print “spunk” has bred on down the female line. This baby will make a good saddle pony and is for sale, and available at weaning.
Braemar Seashells has also had a foal by Cherrington Damascus, a very dark chestnut filly with a small white star and sock to make 13hh. As with all her foals, Molly is doing a great job raising this filly. Molly is now in foal to Sandbourne Royal Ensign for a November 2008 foal.
Our Kirreway Easybeat [pictured below] mare is to put in foal to Sandbourne Royal Ensign and offered for sale in foal.
The Rose of Astral, owned by KS Showhorses in New Zealand is still with us, she has foaled a sweet chestnut colt foal [pictured right] by Syon Royal Portrait and is back in foal to Sandbourne Royal Ensign.
With EI preventing the movement of horses into New Zealand for the foreseeable future I guess Rose and her foal James will be calling Penmain home for a little while longer. |
