What’s more appropriate on Valentine’s Day than showing off our potential fathers-to-be…..
First up, the gorgeous, cuddly Jambarrie Luigi. Blue dun roan by Kerswell Smokey, Luigi, a winner himself already has champion youngstock on the ground.
Jambarrie Loan Ranger by Kerswell Maple, skewbald champion boy who sneaks away from the other boys to get his own human hugs. His only two offspring to have been in the ring have won their classes.
Timberland Limited Edition aka Ed, blue dun roan and white by Kerswell Nutcracker has had a sheltered life living with a friend but is as handsome as the others. He’s a shy boy but he loves a fuss and he knows he’s extra handsome.
Jambarrie Lion King aka Lionel, buckskin dun has only shown once but was junior champ and reserve supreme. A happy boy he just adores people. He tries to act like a tough guy until he knows hugs are on the go. Last year was his first season out with the girls so I can’t wait to see what he has.
And of course last but definitely not least is my old gentleman Kerswell Sprite. He has bred plenty of champions in his time and whilst he comes across a bit aloof if you speak to him when he’s on his own he snuggles in and comes back for more. He’s especially good at baby sitting usually being spotted surrounded by foals in the summer.
All the boys are tested SA clear ⭐️
Foaling won’t start until mid April but that’s not looking so far away now.

We’re halfway through January, the nights are getting lighter and spring doesn’t seem so far away now.
It’s a fairly quiet time of year just keeping an eye on everyone.
Today was routine Spot On, worming, new mineral blocks and a new bale for these girls.
They may be soaking wet but they have the luxury of some hard standing, plenty of grub and plenty of grazing left.
P.S.Does anyone know if moxidectin is safe for human consumption ? Asking for a ‘friend’ 🤮😜

To all the friends, followers, customers and supporters of Shallochmill Stud I’d just like to say a great big thank you 😘
2025 was filled with fun starting off with five healthy foals arriving safely, ponies left the Mill to new homes in Wales, England, Ireland and Shetland and previous graduates were out winning flying the flag for Shallochmill.
I ventured out to a few shows where the ponies did me proud including winning strong classes and a junior championship at the Royal Highland show.
Sprites youngstock continue to do well in the show ring but it’s pleasing to see younger boys Luigi and Ranger having babies out collecting red rosettes now too.
With five stallions working in the summer the 2026 foaling season is going to be an interesting one with hopefully some more future champions 🤞🏼
And let’s not forget the two mini donkey foals born later in the year. A pair of mischief makers one has already nearly broken the internet with his video going viral being viewed over 21 million times. Mental.
The ponies continue to gain admirers who adore their personalities with very few, if any, visitors heading home without becoming addicted.
I do hope everyone enjoys the photos and videos I post showing the ponies in their natural states and the antics they get up to.
I thoroughly enjoy these little people and I hope you all do too.
From Stuart, myself and the Shallochmill herd Happy New Year ###

Loving the dry spell and still doing well on just grass and a mineral block the more mature girls are thriving. I’m starting to see some definite foal tummies which means there’s only a few months to go until foaling time. Fingers crossed we don’t have too much of a harsh winter for the remainder 🤞🏼

This is the moment Shallochmill Yogi found out his new wee brother, Shallochmill Sherbet had come to stay ❤️
Yogi left for Northern Ireland this time last year and has spent the summer winning at almost all the shows he’s attended . His owners Julie Mawhinney and Rachel Coffey have had so much fun they came back for another pony choosing Sherbet this time.
By champion stallion Jambarrie Loan Ranger and out of my unshown mare Shallochmill Pic N Mix, mother to my Highland show winner Shallochmill Tutti Frutti I can’t wait to see how this confident little man does in the ring.
Best of luck boys 🏆 xx

On Saturday I attended the Winter Fair at Lanark mart with three homebred girls. Two were pulled out the field on Wednesday so I was delighted they tidied up as well as they did. All three behaved beautifully and trotted up well despite this only being their second show ever but unfortunately weren’t to the judge’s liking ☹️
Shallochmill Charlotte, 3 year old was 4th out of 4 🙈
Shallochmill Tutti Frutti, yearling was 3rd out of 3 🙈🙈
Shallochmill Ruadh rounded off the day with a 1st out of 2 😂
So, back to the drawing board, home to scrutinise my ponies and decide how to improve then chill for a few months before I start it all again next year 🤦🏻‍♀️
Thank you to Jane for helping and some pics.
Thank you Sarah for the photos too x

The boys. Probably the last day this year I’ll see them dry and fluffy.
When I used to show jump I always preferred mares, I just loved their personalities and attitude. Since having these little guys I think I’m now a fan of stallions. They are so affectionate, clever and fun little people to have around.
They see my car coming from miles away, run to the gate not for sweets, although I do take them carrots, but just to come say hi and get a fuss.
