Dewsnap Ponies ; Coloured Ponies

We are a small family run setup in the beautiful settings of the Peak District not far from the motorway networks of East Manchester. We breed for ourselves as a hobby and for the theraputic quality handling and breeding horses has for myself. Each year we breed a small number of foals to bring on as true family members suitable for children and all ridden and driven actitvities, it is important to us that not only do our ponies have the qualities for the showring but also the qualities to be a childs best friend.

We believe that the key to a true family pony is to bring each foal up in a family environment and introduce them to children, dogs and so on from an early age so it becomes a part of thier normal everyday lives, properly preparing them for thier futures. My own son is involved in the daily handling of the ponies and regularly helps with grooming, feeding and even poo picking! We feel it is vitally important that all the ponies learn to respect and trust the smallest of children and the result of this is ponies who are safe for your children to be around both in the stable and field.

This summer I hope to add a page of pictures and descriptions of some of the training done with the foals and youngstock to prepare them for a lifetime of being a childs best friend.

We strive to breed quality without compromising temprament and rideability.
