Scarlet is an australian stud book pony X haflinger cross. She has been professionally broken in and is now being ridden by a 15 yo girl for training.

Grooming and floating is also good. For more information: fernancescreek@gmail.com.

Steph had a great weekend at the Interschools at SIEC, coming 5th in her age group in pre novice eventing. Spy went very well with no jumping or showjumping penalties and a descent dressage score. We are very pleased with his progress as this was his first time out with Stef.

Nutella is a four year old haflinger stallion. He is out of the imported stallion Necho X Mischa. He is 144 cm and has an athletic build. Several of our mare lines are now in foal to Nutella and we are looking forward to the first foals on the ground.
