Dinty & Tony started the stud in the late 60’s near Heathfield, E Sussex with the mares, “Kelpie of Skye” & “Duncrievie”, dam of the stallion, “Seamus Mor of New Calgary”.

Two stallions joined us from the New Calgary Stud, “Rhum Bloodstone”and his son, “Trodival of New Calgary”. In 1972 we moved to our present farm where the herd of chocolate ponies rapidly expanded and the Brownbread prefix appeared in all the major shows.

The stallion, “Claymore Tommy” joined the stud bringing outcross blood with the popular chocolate colour and flaxen mane & tail. The stud is also well known for producing partbreds of quality & substance that can be seen participating in all disciplines.

The hardiness, great weight-carrying ability and versatility make the Highland a popular family pony and many are also trained to harness.
