PAST BROOD MARES
Crimchard Tabitha. My very first Dartmoor, pictured above, by Crimchard Bright Spark x Senruf Trillion, came to Dunmere as a 2yo in 1975, from Mrs O'Brien of the famous Annwood Shetland pony stud. She stayed at Dunmere until being put down here in 2005. Never a regular breeder, she had 5 foals, but was the most fabulous ridden pony and such a gentle "lady".
Progeny:
Dunmere Scholar, bay gelding, born in 1986, was my best driving pony ever, though excitable at events! He never left me, and was put down at the age of 26, after a summer in retirement (which he didn't really enjoy).
Dunmere Rosamunda, a bay filly, born 1987.
Dunmere Fragrant Cloud, bay mare, born 1995, a Star show Champion, broken and sold in 2001.
Dunmere Rambler, bay gelding, born 1996, broken to drive but never settled, so went to family as a ridden pony in 2002.
Dunmere Danse Du Feu, bay gelding, born 1991. A multi Champion in hand and ridden, he was sold as a 5yo to a family where he stayed until being put down in his 20's. He took Lauren from L/R through F/R, Open and, when she outgrew him, they did WHP.
All of Tabitha's progeny were by Senruf Graduate.
