STUD NEWS - BARN HILL STUD

What a great All Welsh Show. Congratulations to the Committee. We would like to congratulate all the successful owners of Barn Hill ponies who exhibited at the Queensland All Welsh. Of particular note is Susan Lyons with Barn Hill Party Girl who was awarded Best Youngstock Exhibit. Also to Cathy and Chelsea Pender who has a super time on Barn Hill Tamarillo in the ridden classes, and Kate Prince with her section A's.

Sadly we had to put Imperial Play Up to rest over Christmas at this age of 20. A very sad day. Play Up was one of two founding mares of the Barn Hill Stud and so has had a profound effect on our progeny. She was by Weston Hoopla out of Imperial Playtime. All our ponies who's names start with 'P’ are sons, daughters or grand children of Play Up. Herself a successful show filly, her more successful progeny have been Pom Pom, Party Girl, Party Time and Ping Pong. Of course a lot of her progeny over the years have found new homes and I'm sure have provided happiness and/or success for the owners.
