What a year 2017 has been we have enjoyed highs with both our business and Stud with a Royal Visit by HRH Princess Ann in July for our work with Riding For the Disabled, then later that month we were delighted to have 11 Newoak Ponies competing at The RIHS along side our Welsh Section B Cadlandvalley Mr Bojangles. 

Newoak saw 6 homebred ponies along with Bojangles qualifying for HOYS, first off we were delighted to be informed that we had won The Leading Breeder of the Year award for the 3rd time since its creation in 2012 just to be in the running is an achievement. 

Then the week just continued to get better with Newoak Designer Edition winning the M&M FR piloted by Amelia Lockhart this was the pairs first year off the rein, Amelia and Dez are coached at home by big sister Kirsty Lockhart who also rode for the Stud as a child, Newoak Furious was not to be outdone in the Open Small Breeds standing top of a strong line up Ridden and produced by Sam Roberts. A week of dreams coming true is all that can be said, now for a peaceful winter to get ready for next season.

Newoak Blizzard is proving what an amazing temperament Dartmoors have by taking everything in his stride at his first ever show where he stood 2nd in a strong Novice LR class at NPS area 10 kindly Ridden by Maisie Brailey and lead by Stud Groom Jamie Densham.

Newoak Designer Edition has easily made the transition into FR from LR with jockey Milly Lockhart, Milly who is no longer lead by big sister Kirsty is flying high after qualifying RIHS & HOYS both on their first attempt. Kirsty still continues to coach the pair and is never very far away to make sure Milly hasn't disappeared into a sweetie shop with Dezzy, the cheeky duo have a special bond and have been together for 5 years. 

Olympia saw a lovely end to last season we were very fortunate to have not one but two ponies qualify and compete in the final and even more so when Newoak Furious stood Best of Breed for the Dartmoor's under jockey Sam Roberts this being an even greater achievement as he was the only gelding alongside 4 stallions. Our Welsh Section B Cadlandvalley Mr Bojangles in his novice season performed beautifully under Tayla Lewis. 


2017 has started with a bang with many Newoak Ponies out competing after a good winters rest below are a selection of ponies who will hopefully have a successful and fun season

I thought i would share this lovely letter i received from the owner of Newoak Gold Rush Sara Cotton who's daughter Daisy obviously has a special bond with him
 
He is an absolute dream pony, such a sweet boy inside and out and we all love him. We call him "Alero" at home as it means Grace of the land and all good things to,He always gives Daisy 110% and has the biggest heart Everyone falls in love with him wherever we go, he's a real head turner (& he knows it ) 
 
He always finds himself competing up against the big horses but takes it in his strideusually leading them around warm up when they are being naughty!.They were one of the smallest and youngest combinations at Summerhouse this week but were placed 1st in every U25 section and secured 6th place in Elementary 59 and 3rd in the freestyle with some extremely tough competition
It has been a truly amazing journey over the past three years, going from Prelim to Medium, qualifying every year for the Areas, U25's and Regionals with ease. They have such a beautiful partnership which is constantly commented on by the judges . He is quite simply our "Chocolate Boy”
 
BD have confirmed they wish to offer Daisy Cotton and Newoak Gold Rush a wildcard for the Novice FSM NAF 5 Star Winter Dressage Championship at Hartpury!! Woohoo ... Couldn't be prouder of my Munchies ?
