Edenbridge and Oxted Show at Lingfield

Mary exhibited her work at this show in August. The show was blessed with fine weather but due to the current restrictions there was no livestock. Perhaps as a result the "Hereford and Charolais Cross in Hartfield" proved popular. A number of vistors had been on Intelligent Horsemanship courses at Hartsop Farm and recognised Antics, one couple had even been at the Antics Charity Ball in Stratford upon Avon and seen the canvas auctioned!

Special Commission

The above work was a special commision to depict ten Haflinger ponies that helped to form many of the breed lines currently in the UK. This work can be seen at the Haflinger bred show which unfortunately, due to the exceptionally wet weather, will not be at Malvern this year but has been relocated to Warwickshire College at Moreton Morrell on the 15th July 2007.

Print Auctioned at Charity Ball

A canvas print of Antics cantering was auctioned at the Annual Ball held by the Antics Charity on 30th June 2007 in  Stratford-upon-Avon.

Antics Charity - supporting children affected by cancer

‘Antics’ is a Witney based charity associated with Intelligent Horsemanship which started in August 2003 and became registered in February 2004 (Charity Number: 1102359). The charity has the specific aim to raise money for children, aged 18 years and under, affected by cancer. This can be a child who is in active treatment for cancer; or who has a sibling or parent in active treatment for cancer; or who has suffered bereavement of a parent or sibling through cancer.

With the money raised through the charity funds are provided locally and nationally by way of grant aid or through the purchase of goods or for social needs such as a relief break for the child.

The charity raises money for children affected by cancer through the skewbald stallion named ‘Antics’. One source of income for the charity is the stud fees generated by Antics in addition to other fund raising events throughout the year.
