We sometimes have older ponies for sale and enquiries are always welcome.

Our next 2 foals arrived within hours of each other. On 3rd of May, after 5 days of wax and none stop watching, Plumtree Dakota gave birth to a stonking c**t we have named Plumtree Denver! It was bank holiday weekend and we had just finished having a family dinner at Plumtree and checked the field camera for the 1,000th time that day in time to see Dakota down and pushing! We ran straight out to the field and got there just as this beautiful boy was born at 6.40pm. Well marked with a lovely head, we are over the moon with him. Not wanting to be left out, that morning Plumtree Jazzabell had waxed up too, but she decided to wait until we were in the barn checking on Dakota & Denver one last time before bed, when she got down and started to push. At 11.25pm she had a stunning buckskin dun and white c**t. This little guy has bags of charisma, is very evenly marked and has the prettiest little head, the photo really doesn’t do it justice! We have named him Plumtree Jagger (inspired by Mick Jagger)

Both boys are by Plumtree Jax. Photos taken on 17th of May.

We hope everyone had a fab bank holiday weekend! We moved some of our girls onto their summer grazing in preparation for the heatwave as it has a lot of day time shade. The girls in the video are aged from yearling to 25 years old!

Speaking of Plumtree Hendrix, we brought him home at the weekend ready to go out with his girls. I had the camera ready and here he is fresh off the box still in his winter scruffs! Video in comments.

It’s taking a little longer for me to get round to posts this year due to a baby of the 2 legged variety so apologies for that.

Introducing Plumtree Valentine who arrived on 28th of April. We are extemily pleased with this little filly! She was born at 2.20am & her birth was absoluely textbook. Her dam showed very little signs she was in active labour before laying down and starting to push! By the time we made it into the barn she was born. The whole thing took less than 5 minutes! By our young stallion Plumtree Hendrix and out of one of my favorite mares Dilston Vienna! She is very straight and has a stunningly beautiful head as well as good bone. Because she is by Hendrix she could roan, although as Vienna is so protective of her newborns, despite the fact this filly is trying her hardest to come for a fuss, I haven't been able to get close enough for long enough to check her roots for signs of roan. As her dam is now in her late teens she is to be retained. The video at the end was taken at just 9 hours old!

Not the best start to our 2026 foaling season with poor Autumn loosing her foal in March and developing hyperlipemia, visit from our vets and round the clock nursing thankfully she has recovered well.

20th April saw an early appearance of Plumtree Dash. Born at 10pm I'm thinking I could be in bed by 12. But typical c**t sucking the top of the mares bag, luckily Donna is such a good mare to deal with just stood no headcollar on while I milked her to feed her foal. It was a very long, cold night in the barn.
My brilliant vet Damian arrived just after lunch the next day to tube the foal and he did the squeeze too, within an hour the foal was latched on! 18 very long hours later I could breath.
Igg test the next day read 400 as expected it was low, so my other fab vet Libby assisted by the lovely Ellie gave the plasma transfusion at home. I'm very happy to say Dash Hasn’t looked back since.

Dam: Plumtree Primadonna
Sire: Plumtree Jax

Having a little bit of fun with Plumtree Excalibur after his photo shoot this afternoon. This beautiful boy will be leaving us for his fabulous new home tomorrow.

Half of our foals have now left for their wonderful new homes! It’s always sad to see them go but we are know they will be loved. First Plumtree Sika, followed by Plumtree Leofsige, then Plumtree Beatrice and finally Plumtree Henna!

Another of our 2025 foals we never got around to posting is this beautiful little palomino & white filly, Plumtree Mui Mui! Arriving at the very reasonable hour of 10.05pm on 17th of June, she was the last of our foals to be born this season. She is a little sweetheart, her personality very much reminds me of her Mum Maribelle. While the rest of our foals have been weaned and have started to leave for their new homes, Mui Mui isn't quite old enough so is still on her Mum for now. Photos taken last week.

One of our foals we never got around to introducing! Plumtree Hunter, this gorgeous little buckskin c**t was born 22nd of May... I haven't got many photos of him because he's just so friendly, a proper people pony! From just a day old he has come running as soon as he spotted you in the field! Photos at 3 weeks old and 4 months old.

I still haven't got around to taking photos of our latest 2 arrivals, so in the mean time here's some up to date photos of our older 3 fillies... Plumtree Little Sika, Beatrice and Dora, all by Plumtree Jax, taken last week.
