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

Miss Marple will grow up in the herd of her daddy BIRLING GREY MIRAGE.

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

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.
