Carlingford Park Sweet Surrender

RPSB, ARP – 12.3hh, black mare, 2015

‘Sia’ was aptly name as a foal due to her reluctance to show her face as a foal. The only filly produced by my beloved pony CP Sweet Embrace (Sienna) before her tragic paddock accident Sia was always destined to remain here with us.

An extremely refined elegant pony she was lightly shown in-hand as a youngster with success including a number of Supreme Champion Riding Pony accolades and a win as a 3 year old at Sydney Royal. Broken in at 4 she was only shown for a season winning Her EA Newcomer class at HOTY, many agricultural show championships in the Large Pony Hack and Riding Pony ridden classes and a third in her Novice Pony Class at Sydney Royal before being scratched from her open.

A quiet easy pony to ride she was quite the stress head on the ground. Being a petite small pony type in a 12.3hh body it was decided to retire her rather than persevere against the up to height large ponies. She has since spent her time in the paddock relaxing with her grandmother ‘Songbird’ until we source the right small stallion to compliment her as a broodmare.
