| Some of the Stud's broodmares are Forest bred and
spent their early life running on the New
Forest, proving themselves to be both
tough and hardy. Others have had careers under saddle or in the show ring. Most are graded with the New Forest Pony Breed Society. |

The Stud has three New Forest stallions
and a band of about eight brood mares
plus young stock. Both the broodmares
and the stallions have been carefully
selected according to strict criteria with particular emphasis on temperament. The stallions cover both our own and visiting mares and AI using fresh semen is also available. The stallions all run with mares but the majority of visiting mares are covered in hand.

The Hollybrooke
Stud is situated on the borders of the
New Forest and breeds top quality show and performance New Forest ponies. It boasts excellent facilities
including large indoor stables, well managed
grassland, post and railed paddocks and a 25m by 60m menage. The ponies share the farm with a herd
of
pedigree Charolais cattle. |

The stallions are all championship winners. They are regularly
ridden and expected to compete and
perform in a variety of disciplines
to a high standard. The senior stud stallion Burley Branston is one of the breed's most versatile and successful performance ponies and Hollybrooke Rambler one of the most prolific winning ridden and in hand New Forest show ponies.

Many of our home bred ponies have had enviable show ring successes. We aim to produce
ponies that combine correct conformation and movement with a kind, calm and willing temperament.
Both the foals and the young ponies live as part of a herd where they are allowed |
| to grow and develop naturally. They learn their social skills and have others of their own age to play with, which is an important part of their over all development. The foals are taught to lead, tie up and have their feet trimmed when they are weaned. They spend their first winter stabled and after that they live in the fields in mixed groups of fillies and geldings. They are loaded in both a trailer and a lorry when moving from one grazing field to another and soon become confident travelers. |
