I had shown in hand from a small child but was sent to Gordon Jones (Stud Groom Gredington Stud)  to be taught the tricks of the trade. My debut with a home bred filly was in 1973 at Northleach. The filly was Reddicap Veronica (daughter of BellaDonna) who won a large class on her first outing. Pictured below.

Foundation mare

The B line was founded when a good friend Di Scattergood was giving up breeding and offered to give me a young mare called WARRENHILL PEEP who was line bred to Coed Coch Madog sadly we lost her after only three years but not before she had left  Tame Valley Peter and Tame Valley Belladonna.  Peter was shown in hand as a yearling culminating in a third at the Royal Welsh and was then sold to go under saddle which he has successfully done.  Belladonna a very successful show mare has produced a list of good foals : Tame Valley Blackjack, HOYS qualifier four years in succession. Tame Valley Bamboo, Tame Valley Bo-peep and not least Tame Valley Barbarella who remains in the stud.

Now with my husband we aim to breed ponies that will go on to lead useful lives in any field.
