Lowhouses Dales Pony Stud R&F Longstaff

Raygill Gemma was show in hand and under saddle, her biggest success was winning the overall championship at the breed summer show in 1997. Her first foal was Lowhouses Anna, now 23 years old and hopefully carrying her 19th foal. Anna's first 12 foals were by Lummas Prince, therefore keeping the Lummas bloodline, her later foals being by Slateyford Diamond as have all the Lowhouses foals the last five years.

Gemma's last foal, Lowhouses Rebecca, won the best brood mare and reserve championship at the summer breed show in 2008.

Lowhouses Anna and her progeny have done well in the showring. Anna's first success was winning the overall foal cup at the breed summer show in 1986 follwed by the yearling filly cup the following year. In 1990 she won the brood mare with foal class at the summer breed show beating her mother Raygill Gemma, who was second, and was often shown in the young handlers class by Caroline Eccles. Anna has prgeny all over the country and also in Germany nad the U.S.A. Her son, Lowhouses Rambo, went to Germany as a driving stallion, and before he went he sired Lowhouses Black Magic, the very successful winning stallion owned by Mrs. Julie Pennell. Another son, Lowhouses Jason qualified for Olympia four years ago and did a very good show.
