In 2002 Michael’s oldest daugther Patricia got her first pony from her father after riding at the local riding school for 3 years. The pony was Felix, a big welsh cob pony. When the daugther lost interest in him, he had to find a new home away from the riding school, so Michael took him home as a lawn mower on his own farm. But the pony didn’t fit inside the house with the humans so Michael had to get him some fourlegged company.

3 years later something had gone terribly wrong and the place was now a ponyfarm housing 22 horses and ponies. When the last of the children moved out a few years later, the big horses were sold and Michael invested in some quality blood ponies. Now he was ready to go all in on pony breeding.
