The last year has certainly not been a particularly easy one
for us here at Kerbeck. In March 2007 Henderson suffered a stroke
which has sadly left him blind and nowhere near as mobile as he
formally was. This combined with the weather and FMD meant that
our show season was naturally rather restricted.

Sean on Mystery and Amy on Serenade
Despite the various set backs however, we managed to do reasonably
well at a variety of shows and events. We were all very proud
when Sarah, Sean and Amy were all placed in the Fell Pony Junior
points schemes, they all worked very hard throughout the year
to produce the ponies for numerous different activities. Sarah
managed to get both Solo and Cracker into the placings!

Thor at his first WHP competion
Thor continued to do well and at the very end of the season won
his last two riding classes which he well deserved. He also competed
at the FPS Linnels ODE and his first ever WHP competition.
We were very pleased with Raven as he managed a second in a good
foal class at the FPS Breed show, and was second at Ennerdale,
our local show. He managed a first at Loweswater, whilst big brother
Druid was reserve Champion there. Poor Blossom isn’t sure
she is cut out for showing though!

Prince and Thor have made their film debut on National Geographic
channel – a programme called “Planet Mechanics”
autograph signing when you visit…
We had a couple of new arrivals, Stennerskeugh Donna, who is
currently awaiting her first foal by Huey, she is a very nice
grey mare. We also bought Linnel Doublet, now three, he promises
to be a very nice ride/drive pony for the future.
Currently it is April, although you couldn’t tell by the
temperatures, but we are looking forward to a good summer.
