The Aim of the
Stud
Hester Knight,
who for many years served on the British Connemara Pony
Society Council and was President of the Society when she
died, had a wonderful eye for a pony. Her daughters, Henrietta
and Celia, grew up riding Connemara ponies and in particular
had a special gelding called Irish
Mist by Carna Bobby out of Patricia II. His granddam
was Windy – a very famous mare in the Connemara Pony
Breeders Society (CPBS) Stud Book. In the 1980’s Grayswood
Starlight and Grayswood Village
Peregrine, both by Atlantic Swirl - were purchased
and they had countless successes under saddle – the
latter was Champion Ridden Mountain and Moorland pony at
Olympia in 1982. Hester always stressed the importance of
nice heads, correct conformation, free movement and good
bone. Today, the same principles are being applied at West
Lockinge Farm and foals are being bred from select mares
who have good temperaments and top pedigrees. Plenty of
time is taken in choosing the right stallions for the mares
kept on the stud but there is currently no resident stallion
at the farm.
