Stapleford Hackney pony team put to for 1st time

Putting to for the first time a Hackney Pony team today driven for 3 miles on busy roads to Stapleford Airfield where they were all born and bred . We believe these are the only team of working hackney ponies in the UK today , if you also have a working team of these ponies please let us know we would love to hear from you

Great to see you posting again - when's my next fix? lol I see you have Angela & Chris helping & loved the bit of Chris running - all good for his training!

@elite61

Thanks Pat ,we were very glad of Angela and Chris's help yesterday and yes that bit with Chris running like an athlete surprised me as that was all up hill!

Yeah!! Congratualations!

And there aren't many hackney's worldwide either, that use an airfield for training....:-)

@hackneysaregreat

Thanks Bart, I don't reckon there are many teams of these super ponies either but you have a cracking team near you over there in Holland, I believe they are American bred.

Wish I could go on a busy road, but I live in the USA :( My hackney came from amish country and drove everyday....Wish I could do that. My pony has master craft in his bloodlines and my mare has vindacatior anyone else have the same?
