In foal to : Marcosie The Fourth Dimension (Turberry Top Cat / Whiteleaze Sonata By Cusop Dimension)

2. Blakestones Chorus Girl (Cusop Jigsaw / Blakestones Cover Girl)

MARCOSIE SILENT ECHO
(Small Land Envoy / Stanley Grange Swansong)

This one really took a bit of getting going, mainly mum who was late with the foal and very late with the milk.

Massive thanks go to the STAR that is Cat Walker who helped us through the first 48 hours. Especially as I got 4 hours sleep between handing over to Cat and walking my daughter down the aisle.

Now I know some breeders can be a bit blind when it comes to assessing their own stock - HOWEVER - this is a very very very very pretty lad. Plus for us he is a great out-cross stallion in the making.

Well go on what do you think?

Some Breeding plans take longer to come to fruition!

My little Princess has found her Prince.

It was almost like winning HOYS ticket, and any images of me crying are totally photo shopped.🤫

WHITELEAZE DEBUTANTE
(Cusop Dimension / Wynnmere Milly Molly Mandy)

Well, here we go again. Another top-class future Show Broodmare added to the ranks.

We now have 6 Broodmares!

In my defence my strategy in business was always to be in a position to be able to fully react to every golden opportunity that presented itself. So, is breeding ponies any different?

Was I looking for more Cusop Dimension in my broodmare band, much as I love them, ABSOLUTELY NOT. Like everyone else I am searching for that magical out-cross.

So here’s the thing, Ruby is out of a Westacre Concerto mare. This is an outcross that I have been contemplating for years but just wanted to see at least some evidence that it may work – and here she is!

The only thing is now I need to find another out-cross for Ruby, and see if I can talk nicely to Mrs Mansfield about using Westacre Concerto on some of my other Cusop descended mares.

Tell me what you think, am I CERTIFIABLE?

MARCOSIE THE MAESTRO at CHESHIRE COUNTY
(Marcosie The Fourth Dimension / Marcosie Sweet Rose)

1st and Champion RP Youngstock, 1st and Reserve Champion Part Bred Welsh.

Time for a bit of a review.

Harold has now done 3 Shows in his life – Royal Bath & West, Derbyshire Festival and Cheshire County – and he has accumulated 2 Sectional Championships (PBA & BRP), 1 Youngstock Championship (BRP) and 3 Reserve Sectional Championships (PBW / PBA / BRP).

All as a 2-year-old gelding and all under different Judges.

It is why all our ponies are bred PBW / PBA / BRP, there versatility and all-round type shines through.

And on to the next show, having had a bit of a rest.

MARCOSIE THE MAESTRO at ROYAL BATH & WEST
(Marcosie The Fourth Dimension / Marcosie Sweet Rose)

First and Champion Riding Pony Breeding, massive thanks as always goes to Team Charlesworth. We do the breeding, you do the showing, and with US as a collective it all works.

Going back to my post of 20th October, I did however win the showing argument, and how this has paid off!

Harold is a 2 year old and this was his first show EVER! He is by our home bred Marcosie The Fourth Dimension out of our home bred Marcosie Sweet Rose who is out of our home bred Marcosie Tiger Lily.

To quote the other Greatest Showman (sorry Simon) – “THIS IS US!”

MARCOSIE TRIGGER POINT
(Smalland Tapdance / Marcosie Spirits Dre am)

The first foal of the year and it took me a month to take some photo's.

Tapdance is a stallion I have used before very successfully - Marcosie The Spirit of the Dance (2024 & 2025 Qualified in the HOYS Price Family In-Hand Final) - so I knew what I would get from him.

However it was Zena's first foal so you never really know how it is going to go. Well just like a "duck to water-ski'ing", and just like her mum (Crafton Blithe Spirit). Some mares are just born to be mums and Zena is one of those. A Champion in the Show Ring a Star in the Breeding Paddock.

Now I know everyone is proud of their foals, but this lad is SPECIAL!

HORSE & HOUND 30/04/2026

I have had so many messages and calls over the weekend about my contribution to the H & H feature on the change in Judging format of the HOYS In-Hand Supreme.

Well instead of bending my ear, I thought just open it up as another discussion post - so here it is.

If you haven't seen the feature, see below in full.

So come on don't be shy!

CRAFTON BLITHE SPIRIT
(11.05.2007 – 04.04.2026)

This is a post that I didn’t expect to make for years to come, but you never know what life is going to throw at you next, and I was not anticipating this.

In the early hours of Friday morning one of Spirits daughters gave birth to Spirits first Grand Child and life looked fantastic.

On Saturday morning the most severe colic I have ever experienced struck Sprit like an absolute truck. Vet called, all the usual jabs and examinations and one of those looks from the Vet that says you and her are out of time and you need to do the right thing. The pain killers that where due to “buy” us a couple of hours “wait and see” time lasted 30 minutes and that was it.

A short slow walk to the Paddock and it was over.

Those more philosophical people than me argue that horses do not have an expectation of the future, so their moment just ends, believe me I had an expectation of lots of future to come for her.
