Brahan Sport Horses

I was born in Cambridge and spent the first nearly 6 year of my life in Leamington. The first pony we had was a lovely grey Welsh Mountain pony lent to us by friends of our family, Jack and Velma Watson. She was called Shamrock and as well as Shamrock, my elder sister and I regularly rode my father’s TB polo ponies. Just before my 6th birthday our family moved to Tahuna where my father had bought a hill country sheep and cattle farm. My sister and I had a glorious time riding over the farm helping our father do stock work. In those days some of the paddocks were a 100 acres or more.

Approximately 20 yrs ago I was lucky enough to buy a block of land half way between Hamilton and Raglan, which was when I started breeding horses and ponies. Over a period of time I have refined what I was breeding. My aim was and continues to be to breed good all round sensible horses and ponies that can compete successfully across all disciplines. I also want to breed quality coloured horses and ponies. I currently have two stallions, Brahan George of the Jungle and Tallentire Ozzie. Their progeny are now demonstrating significant performance ability, confirming the direction of my breeding programme.
