  | White Lightening Breeder: Unknown Pedigree: Welsh Section B Cross Height: 13hh Age: 16 Bio: Robin was originally a dressage pony until we arrived in his life! With Roscoe injured, and the pony I had competed Prince Philip Cup areas on unable to travel to zones we had to act quick! Robin came from Preston, we turned up with all our games equipment and began setting it up in their arena. The yard had never seen games before so we had quite an audience!! Robin never looked twice at the equipment, so that was that, he was bought and had 2 months to transform from highly schooled dressage pony to high speed zone finals games pony- which he did! He just never quite understood bending, as he tried to do graceful flying changes between poles followed by 10m circle around the top pole! I learnt to vault on Robin! Currently: Last heard he was owned by a member of Furness Pony Club |
 | Crake Pusi Breeder: Unknown Pedigree: Welsh Section A Height: 11.2hh Age: 27 Bio: My second (naughty) pony! We had Pixie on loan. She gave me my first venture into the show ring, at the local show, where she refused flatly to leave the line up to come and do our show. I can remember being very excited as due to there being only 4 in the class she still qualified for the BSPS Summer Championships (had we been members!). She then followed that performance up by eating the potatoes in the potato race!!! Currently: Unknown |
 | Popcorn Breeder: Unknown Pedigree: Registered Standard Shetland Height: 40 Inches (10hh) Age: Unknown Bio: My first (naughty) pony! Always played the leading role at both mine and my brothers birthday parties until we (and all our friends) out grew her. Currently: Unknown |
