SPRINGERS CRACKER JACK

Jack is leaving us to go to America.
His new home will be the Spur Run Farm Stud in Pennsylvania, USA.

To say Jack is going to be missed is an understatement.
Not only is he gorgeous to look at but he has the most wonderful temperament
he was my 'polly pocket pony'

Max will be going to Sam Roberts for his introduction into the ridden world
 

After being backed brilliantly by Sam. Max is back at home and will spend this year hacking and of course his stud duties. (We eagerly await his first foal on the 29th March.)  He is only 4 and needs time to mature and although already 13.1hh there is a lot of developing still to do.
