We are delirious with joy and deeply grateful.
 
 
 
 
Our KINGTON BLUE BELL II played tricks but then made us extremely happy by giving us our first foal sired by my
 
 
most beloved BIRLING GREY MIRAGE that is born here with us on the 23th of August 2012!
 
 
A filly foal with a huge white star on her head and a beautiful light bay body with an already very strong tail!
 
 
 
 
Little Miss Marple is a whirlwind girl- runs faster than her mother and always follows her adored father
 
 
BIRLING GREY MIRAGE - when she was born she measured only 37 cm - but what a power is this little treasure!
 
 
 
 
On the day after she was born the German TV station visited our stud- so she already became a shooting star on day 1.
 
 
For all that Blue Bell offers her a lot of milk - she already started to steal Dodson food out of the bucket of her mother
 
 
only some days after birth! Such a little cheeky monkey!
 
 
 
 
Miss Marple will grow up in the herd of her daddy BIRLING GREY MIRAGE.
 
 
Ofcourse this adorable little girl by my so beloved BIRLING GREY MIRAGE is absolutely unsaleable.
 
     
 
Miss Marple owns a dream-like pedigree with this mix of the purest old KINGTON bloodlines - in the mating with
 
 
BIRLING GREY MIRAGE this strong old healthy bloodlines are kept pure.
 
     
     
 
Her dam KINGTON BLUE BELL casts a spell on every Birling insider- she comes with the most beautiful pedigree one
 
 
could wish for.
 
 
The mother's side of her sire KINGTON PINOCCIO and his unforgotten dam KINGTON CROCUS - one of the most
 
 
beautiful white mares I have ever seen - leads back through to ASHORNE VELVET.
 
 
 
 
ASHORNE VELVET is not only the sire of the fantastic KINGTON CROCUS- he is as well sire of the legendary
 
 
KINGTON PARSLEY- dam of our TOP STALLION BIRLING GREY MIRAGE!
 
 
ASHORNE VELVET comes from the famous ASHORNE stud, founded in the early 1920s by Mrs. Kathleen Grasby.
 
 
 
 
This stud was well-known for their extremely coveted show ponies of the Royal Ballet Company.
 
 
Even the Beatles ordered 2 Ashorne ponies for a Christmas show at Hammersmith Odeon.
 
 
 
 
On top of that- the dam of our KINGTON BLUE BELL - KINGTON POPPY - goes back through her sire
 
 
CASANOVA OF LONGACRE out of PENELOPE OF LONGACRE to the important CHATSWORTH BABY DOLL!
 
 
 
 
CHATSWORTH BABY DOLL is the dam of the legendary TINY OF LONGACRE, Lionel Hamilton Renwick
 
 
paid a little fortune to the what was then Longacre stud (today known as Longmeadow stud) to get this
 
 
little black 28" mare, that has produced countless adorable Birling ponies like BIRLING BEES KNEES and
 
 
BIRLING MIRANDA, who were vital to the success of the British Shetland Breeding.
 
 
On her mother's side KINGTON POPPY leads again back through her dam KINGTON HONEYSUCKLE to the
 
 
outstanding mare KINGTON CROCUS!
 
     
 
Easy to understand what kind of value Miss Marple means to us only by her pedigree.
 
     
     
 
Her pedigree is crowned by an emotionally high value by being daughter of our wonderful BIRLING GREY MIRAGE.
 
 
 
 
BIRLING GREY MIRAGE is the last stallion alive with whom SIR LIONEL HAMILTON RENWICK bred himself.
 
 
I know to appreciate this great honour day by day, to have this precious diamond here with me.
 
 
 
 
BIRLING GREY MIRAGE is sired by the Top gene donor HIPPOMINIMUS PETER PAN out of KINGTON PARSLEY.
 
 
The dam of HIPPOMINIMUS PETER PAN - the famous RUSKIN WENDY, leads back to the founder of the
 
 
english Shetlandpony breeding - JACK 16 - by the important stallions FLORISTAN, CHERUBINO and
 
 
the marvellous stallion FAIRY LIGHT, born in 1925, who pointed the way.
 
     
 
BIRLING GREY MIRAGE goes on his mother's side with the awesome KINGTON PARSLEY and her dam
 
 
BONITA OF HOOLS - back to the MARSHWOOD line. By her sire PACKAGE OF MARSHWOOD
 
 
she carries with the most famous Marshwood top stallion SUPREMACY OF MARSHWOOD (grandsire of the
 
 
unforgetable RUBICON and great grand sire of the legendary FAIRY BACCHUS) and the most important
 
 
Marshwood mare BARONESS OF MARSHWOOD doubtless the cream of the crop of the old english blood lines
 
 
what you can only wish for.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We are over the moon.
 
 
And in fact! When Miss Marple was born - it was the time of the "Blue moon", the second full moon in a month,
 
 
what only happens few and far between.
 
 
 
 
My deepest thanks goes out to Grey Mirage.
