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 Irish Connemara Pony 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.
