A 2004 Sect. B Welsh pony stallion and show prospect, this dark grey, who was born chestnut, stands a full 13.2hands at five years of age, has four white feet and a white face.  Full of substance with a lovely head, large pop eye, tiny ears, exquisite top line, deep hip and level croup, Louie has the conformation suitable for any discipline.  His movement is free from the shoulder with enough action to be correct Welsh movement, yet flat kneed enough to win the hacks.  Louie is started under saddle with a naturally low head carraige.  His knees snap over fences and his lead changes in the field are natural.  He is both kind and quiet.  He learns fast and is eager to please. With personality and movement to die for Louie is a favorite in the barn.  He is so quiet most folks don't realize he's a stallion.   

Louie is offered to a show or breeding home only.  We'd love to see him remain a stallion because his blood lines are so hard to find these days.  He is a classically bred pony of the National Champion Bristol line which Cherry Wilson worked so hard to perfect.  This pony is the epitome of the Bristol line with the Dragonwyck prefix.  Louie is double Bristol bred, both dam and sire are Bristol prefixed ponies and he is full of hard to find old champion bloodlines up close in his pedigree. Linebred Criban Victor the many time Royal Welsh Champion, and also Cusop Sheriff a marvelous performance stallion who is the sire of both Lithgow Wishnik and GlanNant Tango LOM found twice each in Louie's pedigree.  Coed Coch Ballog, Bristol Sun God and Lithgow Gay Grenadier are just a few more Champions and producers of Champions found in his lineage. Based on pedigree alone, Louie is a wonderful performance show prospect and herd sire for both the open hunter and sport pony worlds as well as the Welsh show world.  We have very high hopes for Louie. 

Louie began his stallion career and has produced two exceptional fillies which we are retaining at this time, but would consider placing in show homes.  Louie is reluctantly offered for sale to a show or breeding home only.  Louie stands tied, is great for the vet and farrier, lunges well, rides well at the walk and trot, he's easy to hand breed, he clips and loves his baths.  We are standing Louie at stud until he is sold.  We are asking a very reasonable $15,000, but are willing to negotiate to an active show home and will consider a lease for stud.

Lithgow Wishnik, pictured above, is very influential in Louie's pedigree.

Above is a picture of Hot Wheels spring 2009.

HotWheels is a 2006 Sect. B chestnut gelding with minimal roaning.  He has a narrow blaze, 2 front socks and 2 rear stockings with a blonde mane and tail.  Hot Wheels is a true pocket pony, which means he wants to be in your pocket so to speak.  He is the first to greet you when you go in the field...comes running up to see you and see what you are gonna want to do today hoping it might include him.  He is unbelievably correct...perfect in every way.  Never before have I had such a nice pony to work with.  HotWheels is reluctantly offered for sale.  He is so fancy in looks, color and movement it would be a waste for him not to be on the circuit winning for some lucky family.  HotWheels at 3 years old is 12.3+ hands and will likely wind up 13.0hh.  I've started him with the little kids riding him lead line and he loves them being on him.  HotWheels clips, loads, lunges and is great for the farrier and vet.  If you are looking for your next big show prospect at a reasonable price, give HotWheels some thought.  We can hardly wait to see his name in the record books!!! We are asking $3,500 now, but price will increase with training and more showing.  Well, his price is going up...he is ponying wonderfully off another pony while carrying a rider and I have started getting on him.  This pony is an absolute DREAM!  I would feel comfortable putting anybody on him...right now...he is that quiet.  Nothing phases him!  He will eventually make a wonderful first pony that will take your child to the pony finals...he IS that good!  Now asking $4,000 as of Aug. 2009. 

Congratulations to Gigi and Julie Ristaino of Boerne Texas on the purchase of this fine pony.  May Gigi have many years of fun and success with Hot Wheels.

The picture above, taken from the RosMel Pony Farm website, are of RosMel's Scarlet Emperor, HotWheels' sire.  HotWheels takes after his daddy...too bad I can't run fast enough to really show off his movement.

 The above picture has the wrong date...picture was actually taken May 12, 2009...camera batteries went dead and I forgot to change the date...silly me.

Arnie is a 2002 grey gelding standing a large 13hh with four whites and a lovely white face with a large pop eye.  A very typey Welsh, Arnie won Reserve Year End Champion honors as a yearling with minimal showing with the New England Welsh Pony Association.  Arnie is currently working as a lesson and camp pony and works well for the younger students learning to walk and trot yet gives the more advanced students a challenge.  He loves to jump and has a lovely bascule with his knees up by his chin.  We are using Arnie for beginner lessons currently and he's a gem.  When I put someone more advanced on him he is bold over fences and is very responsive. Arnie has been to numerous local shows over the past two years while up in Illinois and was always in the ribbons. He is still eligible green. Recently in 2009 we have been using him to help break the other ponies...by ponying them off of him...he is a doll, neck reins and remains quiet while on duty!  What an awesome pony. A lovely hunter, open jumper, pony club or eventing prospect, we are currently asking $5,500 for this wonderful guy. He is quite the character, loves to drink soda and eat peppermints!  With a bit of a tune up he can easily qualify for the pony finals.  Arnie is easy to jump and finds his own "spots."  A steal at this price really.  SOLD to Bev Behrends in Blanco Texas.  May you and your grandkids have a blast with this very talented pony!

The rider above is 5'4"...so you can see Arnie is large enough for the bigger riders yet small enough to not intimidate the littles.  A great pony to have in your barn for lessons or on the farm leases.

Arnie's sire, Rollingwood's Pick My Way who is pictured below, is an exceptional mover with tons of bone and passed it on to our Arnie.  I just love Pick and just about cried the day I found out he was gelded...Loafer's Lodge retains many of his daughters and now Pick is living large as a pony hunter.  Personally I think Arnie is just about the spitting image of Pick who is pictured below...photos from Loafer's Lodge.  many of Pick's get are winning on the line and in the hunter ring on the east coast.  Arnie is from Pick's first crop.
