Promoting excellence in Sports Pony breeding<br />

Presenting some of the lovely foals<br />
by SPSS graded stallions that have<br />
already been born this year<br />
With the current uncertainty affecting every aspect of our<br />
lives, we’ve decided to follow the last issue’s photo report<br />
on the successful SPSS passported ponies and horses born<br />
in the first 20 years of the studbook with a look at some of<br />
this year’s foals. We hope they become future SPSS stars<br />
but in the meantime we know they will just make everyone<br />
smile. You can find out more about all of the SPSS licensed<br />
stallions on our website - and see more photos of their<br />
progeny on their individual pages.<br />
Left: Kitalpha Star by Killour Star. Bred by Lucy Cockrem and Claire<br />
Thirlwell, this bay filly is the classic Connemara/TB cross and bred to<br />
be an all rounder for Lucy. Her dam, Volitant (Ashkalani x Music Boy),<br />
retired from breeding TBs in 2012 to live with Claire but mothered<br />
everything she could - including Claire’s ponies and dogs, so came out<br />
of retirement to produce a foal for Claire 2 years ago and now this filly<br />
for Lucy. Photo: Lucy Cockrem<br />
Below left: Words of Hope MPS by Wolken Von Blitz MPS. This jet<br />
black filly’s stable name of Hope is both poignant and appropriate as<br />
her home-bred sire sadly died from grass sickness last year aged only<br />
4 and with just two mares in foal. Hope, who like her sire was bred<br />
by Emily Cuthill, is just one day old in the photo and is out of Walinka<br />
(Deniro x Weingau) who has previously had an Elite Auction foal by<br />
Emily’s other stallion. Photo: Emily Cuthill<br />
Below right: Treenhill Archimedes by Treenhill Aristotle.<br />
Archimedes is the first foal by the multi stud book approved Anglo<br />
Arab stallion Treenhill Aristotle. His dam, AES graded Imogen, is<br />
by the German Olympic Reserve and 2016 Trakehner Stallion<br />
of the Year, Imperio, out of Betty Barclay (Brentano II x<br />
Weltmeyer). <strong>Breeder</strong>: Pemaneh Paddick. Photo: Michael<br />
