December 2011 News
Posted by Jessica Herring on Wednesday, December 7, 2011
We are very fortunate to have all 3 of our 2011 foals on the ground.
As mentioned in October News, Ashadatan Park Chance foaled a very upstanding, showy colt by Wynara Talk of the Town on October 18th.
Our other two mares (who were both maidens) went overdue, Studbook TB 'Illustrious Grace' went overdue by 3.5wks, and was almost in foal for 1 year! Our other mare 'Wynara Lollypop' went 19 days overdue. We were very happy when these foals were finally born.
Illustrious Grace, 15.1hh foaled a gorgeous Bay/Brown Filly, who we named 'Wadelee London Town' (by 'Wynara Talk of the Town'). London is expected to mature 14hh-14.2hh and will be a future superstar Pony Dressage mount as she will stay under height. She will also do very well as a show galloway. And future broodmare she will foal exceptional Pony/TB foals with substance. She is for sale as well, visit our for sale page for details.
Wynara Lollypop, 12hh foaled a stunninng little Pinto Colt! He is exactly like his mother in colouring, yet carries so much of his father's characteristics. We named him 'Wadelee Paint The Town Red' or Red for short. Red will mature around 12hh. We have had lots of interest already for red which is pleasing, as I would love him to go to a competition home who will campaign him not only in dressage and showing, but also in Pinto classes.
All 3 mares with foals at foot have been re-joined to 'Wynara Talk of the Town', we are waiting on positive preg tests and will confirm who is due when, once the info comes to hand.
In other exciting breeding news, our first Warmblood 'Cloud Valley Damzel' has been PTIF to our resident pony stallion W. Talk of the Town, for a late August 2012 foal. This will be a very much sought after quality Pony Dressage pony, with the perfect blend of height and pedigree, a great mixture of Welsh B, Riding Pony, and Hanoverian Warmblood Bloodlines, as well as Arabian blood - to take it's new owners to the top in the Pony Dressage circles. Expressions of interest are invited on this foal, please get in touch. Payment plan also available.
Our remaining mare for the season 'Ironhorse Fontaine' (Grandsire: Olympic Ferro) is due to be served mid-December as we only purchased this new stud broodmare late in the breeding season, and due to show committments of our stallion right in the middle of it all, she missed her november heat cycle. This foal is going to be an absolute SUPERSTAR, carrying direct bloodlines to Olympic Ferro, who was number 1 in the world for Dressage when he was competing.
You can't get much better than that for a Pony Dressage broodmare! This resulting foal will also be offered for sale to serious PD Competition home, so please contact us if you would like to secure this foal.
Wynara Talk of the Town and Wadelee Cartier attended the 2011 SA All Welsh. W. Talk of the Town won his led and ridden PW Stallion class, sadly he was the only one in it this year. There are very few Part Welsh Stallions out and about competing, occasionaly there are some in led classes, but even more rare to see any Part Welsh Stallions competing under saddle. This is testament to W. Talk of the Town's temperament, to be able to be shown under saddle is a credit to him. He went into the Supreme Ridden workout and worked calmly and nicely, I was very proud of him and this was possibly his best workout in an open show ever, with horses cantering in front of and behind him and he did not put a hoof wrong as the class was judged on the circle. His instructor would have been very impressed! He has come home for a break and has quite a hectic Dressage Calendar 2012 so will rest until January when he will be bought back into work and it's full steam ahead with EA Dressage comps. We are training Elementary and will continue to do so, he has such a flair and with more time i'm sure he will be doing half pass and passage no worries.
At SAAW, Wadelee Cartier missed his led class which was very dissapointing, but he was very well behaved all weekend and i'm absolutely thrilled with him. He is booked in for pre-breaking in January, and will be broken to saddle mid 2012. What an exciting PD Youngster, i'm itching to get on!
Until next time... happy riding
