History

In 1974 we (Danda and Jim) moved to Strines Farm where we initially bred and showed mainly purebred Arabs.  In 1982 we aquired the outstanding bay broodmare, Greddington Natalia, who we purchased from Lord Kenyon.  This was the start of a dynasty of very special riding ponies and part-bred Arabs.

Natalia's offspring are now internationally renowned - her sons, daughters and grandchildren.

We have a very select band of beautiful 14.2H riding pony mares who are all descendants of Natalia.  We have also expanded our breeding to include a few quality cob and dales mares

Most of our offspring are sold as foals although the occasional foal is kept.

Strinesdale Mastermind was one of the foals we kept.  He is now listed as one of the top 10 pony stallions in the UK with numerous wins and winning offspring to his credit.
