On May 24, Mary was covered by Sumrin Topelius for a 2023 foal. She was scanned in foal on June 14, so we have good hopes for a 2023 foal.

Born May 24, 2013 On May 24, 2013, Sumrin Tatum O'Neill gave birth to a filly. We named her Sumrin Saint Mary, as her mother spent a lot of time in 2012 at Rhesfair stud in the town Saint Mary Church in Wales. Her sire is the stallion Rhesfair Joe Chwedl, who has won championships in Wales and was 5th at the Royal Welsh show 2011 in a very strong three year old colt class. Joe is by champion stallion Dukeshill Magnum out of twice national champion Caerheulog Lady Jane. Sumrin Saint Mary was first shown at the local show of Lierop fokpaardendag as a filly foal. She won her class and was declared filly foal champion of the show. As a two-year old, she was entered at the spring show of the WPCV in Houten. Under Mr. Gwyndaf Edwards of Fronbach stud. Saint Mary won her class and ended up reserve youngstock champion of the day. Saint Mary gave us a beautiful filly foal by Sumrin Tysilio, Sumrin Satu on April 28, 2017 Saint Mary gave us another beautiful filly foal by Horselands Cracker, Sumrin Star of Hope on May 10, 2019  Saint Mary gave us a third filly, again by Horselands Cracker, Sumrin Shine A Light on April 25, 2022. Saint Mary is due to foal  by Sumrin Topelius around April 24, 2023

On April 25, 2022 just after midnight, Sumrin Saint Mary gave birth to a grey filly foal by Horselands Cracker.

She is a full sister to Sumrin Star of Hope and therefore the second filly to combine Sumrin Taru and Waardhoeve's Tirion.

Shine a Light is truly a midnight special, so her name comes from that chorus of the CCR song. That and of course a tribute to her grandmother Sumrin Twilight

Shine unfortunetely passed away early on November 3.

On May 10, 2019, Sumrin Saint Mary gave birth to a chestnut filly foal by Horselands Cracker.

She is unique, as she combines our two lead mares from the 1990's. Both grand dams were born in 2009 and are great grand daughters of our foundation mare Dyrin Tina. Star of Hope is the first pony to carry 4 lines of Dyrin Tina. Surprisingly enough, the filly seems to stay chestnut. 

Her name is a name I have wanted to give for some time already. When Dyrin Seren Wen foaled 4 weeks too early in 1983, she had a beautiful chestnut filly, which I planned to register as Sumrin Star of Hope. Unfortunately, she never made it and died after 10 days. 

The name comes from a mare named Grove Star of Hope, born in 1911. At age 21, she gave birth to a filly named Winestead Larina, who had a tremendous influence on the breed through her offspring Revel Light, Revel Springlight, Revel Lady, Revel Rosette, Revel Mysteria, Wentworth Silver Cream, Winestead Teresa and Caradog O'r Dwn.

On June 24, 2020, the anniversary of the death of her grandmother Sumrin Twilight, Sumrin Star of Hope suffered a massive injury on her near hind leg. Her tendon was torn and we feared she had to be put down. With the very professional care of Paardenkliniek Venlo, she did recover well and we shiwed her once. Due to her injury, she isn't 100% square, so she is staying as a brood mare.

Sumrin Star of Hope has been covered by Airborne Montgomery, for a foal due early June, 2023.

Sumrin Tulip Festival
Born: 19 May 2000, Deceased: 22 September 2022
Breeder/Owner: J. van Gestel

Sumrin Tulip Festival is one of the best mares we have bred. As a three year old, she won her class at a regional show. As a four year old, she has already proven to be able to throw a quality foal. Tulip's biggest assets are a very classical type with very strong movements. At the 2009 National show, Sumrin Tulip Festival was 2nd in a large class of 25 mares, only to be beaten by Vrilkhoven's Leslie (out of Sumrin Toendra). Tulip Festival has given the following foals at Sumrin:

2004: Sumrin Toscane by Mulligens Domeniek
2008: Sumrin Troye by Gulden Hoefs Vivaldi
2009: Sumrin Tatum O'Neill by Kai Midas

Tulip was used for driving in harness by the van Gerwen family in Wenum-Wiesel (my sister Luce and her late husband Perry). They have decided not to breed from her anymore.

After the unexpected passing of Perry, we decided that Tulip should come back to Sumrin to join Sumrin Saint Mary. She is now enjoying her golden years in Limburg.

On September 22, 2022, out of the blue, she fell ill and it was clear that she was in so much agony that she had to be put to sleep.

Her granddaughter Sumrin Saint Mary as well as her greatgranddaughters Sumrin Star of Hope and Sumrin Shine a Light are still with us.
