Winnies Express is a 14.1hh liver chestnut mare by El Crysto out of Ashwod Juella (Blue Sun).

A true riding horse, he won many major shows under saddle; his crowning glory being ridden champion at the Horse Of The Year Show. As with many of today's successful sports ponies, Winnie's pedigree is littered with famous names such as Oran, Ludo, Blue Domino and Count Dorsaz, to name but a few.  

Winnie is a very good looking, correct mare with loose expressive paces. She qualified for the Cherif Championship first time out. She has been placed in affiliated dressage and ridden sports pony classes.

Gilly's Surprise

Gilly's Suprise (1990) New Forest Pony Mare

Fully Registered with the NFPB&CS 

Wellhouse Shepherd's Boy x Millersford Polly

Pedigree

Gilly Suprise is a 135cm registered New Forest Pony mare. Her grandsire is the famous Peveril Peterborough, renowned for his jumping ability and as the sire of many top ponies. Gilly’s dam, Millersford Polly, lived on the forest all her life; Gilly, therefore, is forest bred. Her sensible temperament, surefootedness and ability to thrive ‘on thin air’ are doubtless a reflection of this. 

Gilly came to us in later life and we feel she never really fulfilled her potential undersaddle. However, after only a couple of BHS TREC competitions Gilly and Dani found themselves ranked 21st on the BHS TREC Newcomers Winter League 2005-2006 (which placed them in the top 10% in the UK).

Gilly's Suprise has now retired to stud.

War God x Piran Amerella (Piran Little John)

Pedigree

In memory of Mandalin War Bonnet ('Sybil')

Without Mandalin War Bonnet there would be no Arcenciel Stud. Sybil was our first encounter with a British Riding Pony and she captivated us from the outset. Sybil was exquisite, spirited and beautifully bred. She was supposed to be our first broodmare, however fate had different ideas and sadly Sybil was put to sleep before we could fulfil that dream.

Arthur / Piran Little John / Cusop Connoisseur

Pedigree

In memory of Rochand Quest II ('Isadora')

Rochand Quest II was a chestnut mare by an Anglo Arab (Ellation x Western Night) out of the British Riding Pony mare 'Piran Amerella'. She was therefore half sister to Mandalin War Bonnet.

Sadly, Rochand Quest II had a nasty field accident as a two year old which left one of her hind legs badly scared. Consequently, she never had an in-hand or ridden career. However, when the opportunity arose to buy the 4 year old Isadora from her breeder we jumped at the chance. Isadora's beautiful bloodlines, conformation and presence made her an exciting broodmare prospect and we were thrilled to have her in our herd. We had planned to put her in foal to Rochand Bright Spark in 2009 for a 2010 foal. However, in Spring 2009 poor Isadora had yet another freak accident in the field, this time fatal.
