32” Palomino. DoB: 16/05/97 Buzz is very much an integral part of our miniature stud. He is the sire of three of our retained mares and of our colt, Stow Jasper, retained for show/stud duties. Buzz’s show career includes Male Championships at Breed and RHAS shows as well as Overall Breed Championships at other prestigious shows.

He is also a proven breeder of top quality show progeny. His maternal line goes back to “Houlland”, Shetland Islands, mares very much admired by Sandy Gray. His sire’s dam line traces back through very successful “Annandale” mares to a “Netherley” line, “Black Diamond”. The very first mare “Eldorado of Annandale” was bought by Jim at a Breed Society sale. She was chosen solely through her looks. This “Black Diamond of Netherley” family means a lot to us and has left “Champions” at Standard and Mini levels. The same family, we believe, has left its mark on the “Firth Stud”.

Bright Chestnut, with blaze. DoB: 16/04/02  This beautiful, tiny, “Firth” bred mare was bought as a foal along with her mother Firth Jasmine at the Firth Stud dispersal sale. An inspection of the stock previous to the sale date left Jim in no doubt that Jasmine, in his opinion, was the best show quality mare on offer and her foal Jazz11 was the most promising foal. Enquiries enlightened us as to how successful Jasmine had been in the show ring, this continuing from an early age right through to adulthood.. The line breeding, Annandale lines back to Black Diamond of Netherley (976IS), of this combination reassured us that we desperately wanted to purchase if at all possible. We were extremely pleased when they were purchased and even more pleased now that the foal has developed into a quality mare and who has left us an absolutely outstanding son, Jasper.
