Brambleridge Ponder the Truth. Halfbred Connemara gelding by *TBS Declan Pondi ex Brambleridge Truth or Dare.

'Patrick' sold quickly, within a few days of going on the market. He was purchased by 5* eventing professional, Madeline Blackman. Through a series of events Maddie ended up selling Patrick as a green broke 5 year old. A young man named James Power purchased him as his first horse. They had a tough start together, as you would expect with a green rider and a green, and very sensitive, young horse. Through persistence and trust, they have developed a formidable partnership, quickly moving up the levels in eventing. They are currently competing at the Preliminary/* level, with their sights set on a 2* run in the near future. Patrick was awarded the 2025 ACPS Halfbred Connemara of the Year as well as the 2025 USEF McKenna Trophy for the most points of any Connemara (PB, HB or CSH) competing at Modified and above.

One Friday evening in 2014, a friend of Megan's told her that Denny Emerson was auctioning off all of his prior stallions' frozen semen online. She spent several hours studying the stallions available, and ended up purchasing several doses of semen from Denny's long deceased, 4* horse, Epic Win. Tippy was bred in 2015, and Elle was born the following spring - the wonders of science! Elle was sold in-utero to an AA on the West Coast who had followed Denny and Epic during their career together, and who was excited about the idea of owning one of his offspring. She competed Elle through the Novice level of eventing, including at trip to AEC’s. Elle had a preference for the hunter/jumper ring and was sold in 2025.

Tabby has come back to our program via Catherine Mack. After selling her as a weanling, I lost her dam (& her full sibling in-utero) and I’ve been trying to get her back ever since. She was affectionately nicknamed Bebe ('Bad Baby') as a foal because she was such a pistol. She was up and galloping around the stall within moments of birth, and galloped her dam all over the paddock from day one. We carried her from the paddock to the barn those first few days, otherwise she would gallop off in the other direction! When my mother purchased her back as a more ‘mature’ six year old, she renamed her Tabby. She has proven to be a quiet and sensible pony. She had only trail ridden prior to coming back to us, but we have already introduced her to jumping & foxhunting. She gave us her first foal in 2024.

'Earl' was a custom foal we bred for a customer whose mare couldn't conceive. We were happy to make arrangements to provide them with a foal by Cian (his only foal). Fudge proved as good of a producer as we suspected she'd be, and we're looking forward to more foals out of her! Earl had his start in Phyllis Dawson’s program; he has since been sold to a couple of different junior riders that have evented him and done dressage. We have not heard much about him in the last several years.
