Northern Chianti

1998 - my first ride on 5 year old Chianti, I'd just been loping in an arena, Graham had gone off to video Muffin having a bath! Then Cornbread (Frank) showed us how quiet and gentle she was. This was the second time as I missed videoing the first time!

Then video below, a bit short, the battery ran out. This is a great mare.

Chianti a few months after we saw her in USA. Took her out for our first ride out on Kenfig beach.

After a year or so of research we went out to USA in 1998 to buy a stallion and a mare to add to our programme. We saw this lovely, 15.1hh bay mare, who'd had a fair amount of riding, had played polo and been used to shoot coyotes off of.

I rode her and Graham rode her - she was perfect! Well mannered, nicely bred, very gentle and smooth to ride.

Add her to our shipping list then!

She has had 5 foals with Muffin to date, a palomino filly, a bay colt, a buckskin filly, a bay colt last year and a buckskin filly this year. All have been superb, gentle, athletic and easy going. Her second foal, bay colt, now a 5 year old stallion with Debbie Roberts, has had a reputation in the village. People whispering "he's too quiet"!! Deb takes him out on the beach and he is the perfect gentleman riding out in mixed company and people having a peep to confirm that he's a stallion. "Yep....fuzzy plums"

Deb has a yearling and two year old fillies him out of a lovely mare we imported for her 3 years ago. Email her on debbiehorse@aol.com if you are interested.

She has consistently produced top quality foals year after year.

This year's filly will be out on the show circuit next season along with Deb and Clare's other 2 champion horses, Bailey and Buffy, from Evans Quarter Horses of course!

Chianti has been bred to Muffin for 2009.
