Foundation Mare

Riding Pony Broodmare

Ashlands Sugar Baby

Sire: Keston Brown Sugar / Dam: Ailsa Craig

 

'Sugar' was purchased as a 2 year old in 1983, chosen for her wonderful bloodlines (tracing back to Pretty Polly) and for her outstanding quality and breathtaking movement. Sugar was a prolific winner in-hand during the 1980’s and qualified for the Supreme in-hand Championship at the HOYS in 1989.

Our pony stallion Pendley Rum Punch was specifically purchased with Sugar in mind. Sadly Sugar died of cancer after only producing two foals by Rum Punch, these were:
