This year started, like all the previous years, with our annual trip to The Netherlands, to see the big stallion show in Mariënheem in January.

We were supposed to go with our sweedish friends, but they got snowed in, and couldn’t make it, so for the first time, it was just me and Papaya going.

On thursday we visited our good friend Reinanda at Stal Groenkamp, before going to the hotel.

At the hotel we met up with lots of shetland pony friends, and we had such a lovely weekend with good food, many gorgeous ponies and lots of ponytalk!

On sunday, before going back home, we visited Danielle at Stal Nuwelant and saw all her beautiful minis.

As always, we had a great trip, with lots of inspiration.

In February we got the lovely news, that Shady Acres Archer, who was sold to Schalenburg Stud in Germany as a foal, passed the inspection, and is now a liscensed stallion.
Archer is a son of my beloved Amy, who I lost 2 years ago, so this is very happy news to me.

In february, we also got the diplomas for our 3 new Sweedish Show Champions.
In 2023 both Diamora, Esprit and Cupcake, recieved the last points needed for their SUCH titles.
