We have high hopes for this young guy. His sire is a producer of many Hunter Champions. His dam is our fancy Sec. B mare. He is very athletic and a joy to watch in [...]

Hoosier Daddy (Daddy-o)

Unknown x Sunflower || Foaled 4/26/2007
Daddy-o has been a great joy to have in our training barn. At two years old he sticks at 14.2 hands. Daddy-O is on his way to being a real eye-catching small Junior Hunter Prospect. He is a bright chestnut with three [...]

Picturesque Wise Man (Spiderman)

“Spiderman is an adorable 12h 1/2″ grey gelding.  He is a bright, alert, “best-friend” sort of pony.  Spiderman is now in regular work [...]

Commence the Magic “Manny”  received Reserve Champion for the 2009 Welsh Pony and Cob Society of America High Score Award, North Central Region, Half-Welsh Colts and Fillies!  Congratulations, Manny!

Spiderman is really ready to go now.  He is child-safe, has local show experience, is packing kids around small courses.  Carol tells me he never even looks at the jumps anymore.  This little guy needs a home with a child to love, preferably someone who will continue his hunter training.  He could/should be a serious [...]

With her winter coat, Tupelo is an adorable yellow fluff ball.  She remains healthy and perky.  At 5 months old she now ties, leads, stands for grooming and farrier, and has had a few round pen sessions.

Daddy-O  remains in light work just to keep him developing mentally and physically.  He hacks in the indoor and the open fields (weather permitting).  Just started cantering under saddle.  He’s got three excellent gaits and a great brain!  I adore this little guy.

Manny’s training is proceeding so well. He now lunges in a surcingle — never an objection on his part. What a pleasure he is, and so handsome. Check out his photos from the Heartland Welsh Show.

Manny was shown at the Heartland Welsh Double Gold show in August.  This was his first trip ever away from home.   Showing in the Half-Welsh Colts and Geldings 2 and Under, he brought home a first place under one judge, and a third under the other judge.  He was pinned Reserve Champion by the same [...]

Daddy-O has now been to two shows.  We took him to both of the Lucky Farm Beginner Shows in July and August.  (What a beautiful facility!).  Showed indoors in Beginner Hunter Walk-Trot, and Beginner Hunter Walk-Trot Poles.  He championed both times!  I think I will give him the rest of the year off — he’s [...]
