Pennymore Stud started in 1996 introducing the Riding Pony Breed to Sweden. The ASRP were threathened by the quality of the Breed and through avelsvärdering promptly stopped us. We took our case to the EU and won. Compulsory avelsvärdering (stallion selection prior to competition) was an infringement and the EU ordered Sweden to abolish it's practice in 2006.
It's now 2008 and we are pleased to annouce Pennymore is starting again. The ponies bred at Pennymore in the years we were banned have won in top company in the UK. Pennymore Isadora, owned by Sir Frank Barlow and ridden by Lizzy Smith and produced by Jerome Harforth, in her first season took the tricolour at the BSPS Winter Championships, took the first qualifier of the season for the RIHS (Royal International horse show) and HOYS (Horse of the Year show). She Won and was Reserve Champion at Royal Windsor, 2nd the Royal Show and won the Great Yorkshire. 2008, now owned by Mel Alford and ridden by Charlotte Alford, she took the first qualifier for the RIHS and again won at the Royal Windsor.
Pennymore Quillet, owned by Mari Jones and ridden by Cerys Jones has also qualified for the Royal International Horse Show. He won and took the Championship at Ayr county and is produced by the Templeton Show Team.
I am proud to breed stunningly beautiful ponies with springs in their feet, speed, agility, sensitivity and good minds in the knowledge that I am breeding ponies that will excel in all disciplines. I believe an animals welfare is greatly enhanced if it is both beautiful and can do well in a variety of sports. I greatly admire and am grateful for the excellent breeding gone before from which I can base my stud's work.
In 1995, the first year Strinesdale Matador became available through frozen semen, we used him on the family pony mare Roseborg's Positiv, before the Stud mares became of age. Posie, a Welsh Section A produced two very quality foals by Matador, proving quality would come through quickly if you used an absolute top stallion in your breeding. Needless to say used on an equal quality mare the result would be stunning. Pennymore Mandalay and a Pennymore Juniper Berry (under)are both quality Show Hunter/Working Hunter ponies. Mandalay has qualified to jump Nationally in Denmark, (good luck Heidi at the National Championships in August!) and Pennymore Juniper Berry has gone to a new home, Stall Bjärka-Säby South of Lindköping. Best wishes and all success Mica and Juniper!

As Seen today 13yrs.
Shown 4 times as a 2 yr old in Sweden. Won 3 times taking the Youngstock Championship each time, EXCEPT at the ASRP Riks Show in Bollerup where under Judge and ASRP Chairman, Ylva Loven Sward and Judge Hans Backeval, Ylva Loven Sward made a special example of her. Over the loud speaker she told the audience "this is absolutely NOT the sort of pony we want in Sweden" and placed her second! It made a mockery of judging having to explain why she was placing the obvious winner and the only Breed pony there, second. She was announcing the ASRP's policy, refusing the RP Breed access in Sweden. This not bad enough, she then proceeded to be rude to my young helper (12 yrs old, in tears after) who was showing a Welsh pony (Section B of Modern RP Type, new to Sweden) in foal to a BRP stallion (an example of bloodlines used in a closed stud book for RP Breeding). I wrote a letter of complaint to the ASRP and to SPAF for appalling conduct by a judge. Nobody responded.
This Spinningdale mare had three top class foals (under). Pennymore Quillet by Strinesdale Matador. Won in the UK on his 1st outing Riding Pony Breeding. Produced by Julie Templeton. Seen here as 2yr old.

Pennymore Isadora, 4 wins 4 outings. Featured in Horse and Hound 19th April 2007 Tricolour Show pony Champion at the BSPS Winter Championships. Owned by Sir Frank Barlow ridden by Lizzy Smith, produced by Jerome Harforth.
Her Sire Rotherwood Dinky Toy is a National jumping pony in Sweden ridden by Natalie Fritz. Should her owners want to jump her she has springs in her feet and big movement for dressage too. To breed for eventing, dressage, show jumping AND showing gives them an advantage over those not bred for the show ring.
Her wins go on. This pony has become the Star on the showing circuit. Qualified first attempt for BSPS Summer Champs, RIHS, Blue Riband and HOYS.
