BURLEY MYSTIC

APPLEWITCH PURE MAGIC Ex WEIRS AVELINE 2008

          This lovely roan pony was sold as a foal but due to various circumstances I bought him back last autumn

. I gelded him and he ran back with the herd.. He is now about 14hh at 2 yrs old and has the most charming temperament. 

He came 2nd in the 2 & 3 yr old gelding class at The New Forest Pony Enthusiasts, his first show !

2010 BURLEY DUMBLEDORE

By Burley Showman ex Longslade Moondaisy

Dumbledore did very  well at Staffordshire County recently.  This was his first county show and he came 2nd in both the Tiny Tots and the Cradle Stakes with his 7 year old rider this follows his success at the Meynell pony club camp last year winning the one day event when Sammy his rider was only 6 years old.  Well done Sammy and Dumbledore !

Dumbledore

Weirs Aveline was given silver graded mare status at the AGM March 26th 2010.  Although Aveline is no longer with us I am pleased that her progeny have given her this recognition.  The scheme only started in the present format in 2003 so I am very pleased that even though it has only been seven years and she has reached this level.

Burley Mystic foaled 2008

Mystic, Weirs Aveline's last foal has come home !  I sold this lovely roan colt by Applewitch Pure Magic, as a foal, but due to personal issues,  his owner called to say that she had to reduce numbers and would I like to buy him back!  I went a week or so later to Sussex to pick him up.  I was surprised to see how well grown he was.  He walked straight into the trailer and travelled perfectly all the way home.  He is now gelded and running back with the herd.  Photos will follow in the Spring

Breed Show

Tiptoe Holly won the small pony  class and came second in the small open brood mare  at the breed show and her foal Toy Soldier was second in the well filled colt foal class.

Barrister won the yearling colt class, Burley Holly was second in the Large Novice Brood Mare

and the Supreme Champion Hollybrooke Rambler was by Burley Traveller out of Randalls Little Gem ( my Mothers breeding).

Congratulations go to John & Wendy Adams owners and breeders of Rambler !!

News from the North

Burley Moon River

River's present owners, The Ashwoods,  have got in touch to say how well he is doing! He was exported to Holland as a foal and was used as a stallion for a few years and trained for dressage.  he was then sold back to the UK where he has competed at Medium level dressage and locally in Working and show hunter classes.

The Burley Stud had a terrific New Forest Show !

    Burley Barrister, won the yearling colt class for delighted owner Sandra Kilford , Burley Holly for John & Jacqui Lowth won the large brood mare class and Burley Rain won the 2yr old filly class and then went on to be New Forest Champion and Mountain & Moorland Reserve Supreme!  I was particularly pleased with this result as she is one of my tinies standing at only 12 hh (122cms)!!

Mastwood Avril and her 3 week old filly foal, Burley Faith,  competed in the novice New Forest brood mare class at the Enthusiasts show on June 7th.  Avril won her class and much to my delight, Faith continued the winning streak by winning her foal class as well.  I was very pleased with her behaviour as I only started to halter her 5 days before the show !

Burley Barrister has continued with his success by winning the yearling class at Ardingly (South of England) and NPS Area 24!
