When you have time when going past you'd have to check with the folks to see if mother is home - she works at Timmy's in town just to get out of the house. My dad's home most of the time but he couldn't tell you what horse was what!
Do you have the bay Newfoundland pony stallion - Sailor something or other? He's nice and was showing Sport Pony but isn't yet (N)ASPR yet. The grey mare is. Nice folks from Ottawa area with Newfoundlanders. Funny how those ponies are very similar to New Forest's - guess that's the admixture of similar bloodlines.
Now what would ever possess you to head to Pamerston (spelled the way the locals pronounce it) - I spent 4 summers there working on a sheep farm to pay for university. Not much of a draw that place.
Starz is looking good in photos which means he must be better in person. One of these days when I have time (time, what's that?) I'll have to drop by.
You should head up to my folks place and see the mini-warmbloods we have aka sport ponies.
Come join our 'Quality Horse Breeders' new group ... hopefully lots of familiar faces will show up.
