Achnacarry & Craigiebrig Highland Pony Stud
Orangefield Stud
R R Macrae or Bert as we affectionally know him began with purchasing Glenearn Topmast as his foundation mare. Based on the cream of the old Glenearn and Dunira studs, which were largely representative of the ancient Atholl blood, the Orangefield ponies were established in November 1962 with the purchase of the mouse dun filly foal Glenearn Topmast. She was presented with her famous dam Bess 11th of Dunira, a mouse dun then 24 years old and looking a picture, at the dispersal of the Glenearn Stud which had brought many honours over the years to its founder James Drummond Hay of Glenearn. To conclude, the Orangefield ponies are all concentrated on the Atholl bloodlines and can also be traced back to Glenboltichan and Monarch lines.
