Greenholme Viv
Greenholme Viv was foaled in Cumbria at Greenholme Fell Pony Stud on 13 July 2003. I saw her in February 2004 and wanted to buy her but it didn't work out. In Fall 2006 I was given another opportunity to buy her and this time it worked.
Viv arrived in the USA, 13 February 2007. Photo at left is at her arrival. Picture on right was taken in August 2009.
Viv is definately one of my favorite gray foals or mares I've seen while visiting studs and shows in England. She is sired by Severnvale Grey Bobby, an accomplished competitor in hand, driven and under saddle. Viv has no training at this time but is gentle to handle. My cousin and her daughter have sat on her back, bareback, and Viv minded not. At last measurement, she was just shy of 13 hands.
At the 2009 Brookside Mountain and Moorland Show (in California) Viv took 3rd out of 15 in the over 4 class.
She is currently at Moonlit Fell Pony Farm for a 2013 foal lease. She has been covered by Copperbeech Casper but is confirmed not in foal for 2012.
Foals Viv has produced for Braeberry Farm.
