I too show my stock mainly from the field, there are so few shows here that
it would be more than unkind to keep the ponies in constantly. My D stallion
has been Supreme twice from the field, not even a bath just the minimal trim
up. I was once asked what I used to make his coat so shiney, I said grass,
and thats the truth. They live out all year round and are fat and happy
always. Of course when you are doing performance thats a whole different
matter.

I seem to remember that PacTel had a line problem over the weekend that caused
a lot of mail servers to hiccup.  This may have something to do with it.  I

Hmmm...  I'm not getting any duplicates (or triplicates either).  I think
there was some kind of trouble with the list server a while ago, but haven't
heard of any new troubles until these messages.  I'll look around, but this
does seem really strange.  Especially if Amy is getting all of her messages
duplicated.  Anybody else have any ideas?

We have a Welsh Mountain Section A stallion who last year was running with
his mares on our hills 48 hours before our WA All Welsh Show.  He was
Champion Stallion with very little more than a quick trim, well since our

Maybe if the registry turned to the real color genetics experts (UC at
Davis, D Philip Sponenberg, Bonnie C. Beaver, etc.) for color definitions,
backed up by scientific/genetic fact, then they might find labeling color a
little more consistent and reliable.  No one would be caught off guard with
a "wrong colored" foal from any breedings and everyone would know exactly
what everyone else means when a color is mentioned.  I think this would be
the wisest and simplest thing to do.

Hey, Marsha...I didn't make the color-name rules for the WPCSA!!! Part of
the problem is that some color names mean different things to different
people and even sometimes they mean one thing for a while and then another.
The WPCSA seems to have tried to keep it simple, which is no bad thing.  For
instance, to some people "cream" means any yellow non-dun (or buckskin)
animal that isn't dark enough to be a palomino.  To others it is the color
that the palomino association thinks is palomino and to these same people
palomino is the lighter colored yellow with light m & t color.  I put a
question about this to the open forum at the AGM to see if we could sort of
standardize what we mean and everyone there had a different idea....and
these were the enthusiasts that bothered to come to an AGM to discuss
issues!  I agree you can't be grey without a grey parent (I think everyone
does) and can't imagine which registrar thought grulla was grey.  Personally
I have never seen a true Welsh that color.  I have had one or two that
SEEMED that color at birth but eventually turned black and in one case black
and then grey (real grey).  I would love seeing pictures of an ADULT Welsh
with that color.  Another problem we have is that people think the "foaling
color" means whatever they thought it was the day the foal was born.  Now
most people recognize that foals have "baby fuzz" that can be very
mis-leading.  I believe the "foaling color" is the real color that the pony
is before it greys (or else it is the color the pony will always be, if it
doesn't grey)....but I see people registering things "bay (foaled chestnut)"
which I don't believe is anything more than the baby fuzz on the legs
mis-leading them...often the black points are hard to see on a new-born.
Anyway, although I am interested in color genetics I am not an expert and
like simple rules and names.  I also have never seen but one silver dapple
in Welshdom, but I have seen lots that people wanted to call silver dapple.
So whatta we gonna' do?  Gail

Many of the welsh ponies in the world get shown right out of the field.    A
little facial hair trimed and you are set.   We love them in the many
disaplins.   However,  we get lazy,  don't show in performance,   and just
show breed some times.   Our ponies live out all year round.   They are what
they are.   Just adjust the feed or calories accordingly.   Isn't that part
of loving ponies.   They are much easier than horses and most times you can
grab them out of the field for an afternoon show, that morning.   And    WE
Compete against the BEST.    We hold our own.   I appreciate everyone's
ponies.   Then I make my own decision.   It might well be some one else's
pony.   Often it is.   The welsh group is a blast to show with.  We route for
everyone involved.    JOHN

I'm having the same kind of problem with PtHA.  They don't recognise silver
dapple as an individual color... you have to registere the horse/pony as
either grey or chestnut.  They won't  however, let you register it as black,
which it more closely genetically resembles, which I find really
disconcerting.  Here's where a breeder could get into a bit of trouble if
the registry wanted to get technical all of a sudden.  My stallion is a true
chestnut pinto, and when bred to other chestnuts should give chestnuts...
right?  Well, my silver dapple pinto mare is regestered as "chestnut".  Of
course, their first foal turned out Bay pinto, which would be impossible if
the mare were actually chestnut.  If the PtHA registrars were sticklers for
color genetics rules, I would have had a real hassle come registration time.
I even called and asked about reclassifying my mare as black, which at least
would have been genetically closer, but they wouldn't let me.

To Leslie Spears: If you ever have another grulla,
please have it registered as a black dun, not grey.
You cannot have a grey pony without at least one grey
parent. There seem to be a lot of colors the WPCSA
don't think exist. Sorry Gail, but since we are so
interested in color and have to list color at foaling,
the least we could do is put the correct adult color
down on the papers. Which has always been my reason
for trying to get Talybont Shawn and his son, S. Storm
Signal registered as buckskins instead of duns. Dun
and buckskin are genetically different; dun has a line
back marking plus zebra stripes on the legs and may
also have other "primitive" markings. Also, to call a
buckskin "dun" can be misleading as there are several
diffent colors of dun, ie. red dun, black dun, etc. I
also object to calling palomino "cream". JMNSHO.

Thomas,   I am afraid you have seen the most of Notorious thus far.   He is
at
http://www.rosmel.com
Lovely ponies and great family of people too.   I loved a great deal of these
ponies.   They trend twards the hunter market.   I bought 5.   I stand up
tall for the pure Mountain Sec A. and love the Hunter world part too.    This
is also a part  of the other A's and Sec B's.   I have used many different
Sec A Stallions over the years and studied their pedigree.  I have retained
fillies by some of the stallions to breed back.  Now,   I wonder what should
I breed this typey little mare for.    Some one to buy the welsh foal or for
me to keep the foal or for some one to purchase and really show off a pony
out of this mare.   The hunter world calls the price.   The welsh  world
call's the personal satisfaction and pride and the type of pony every body
else wants is a roll of the dice.   Just like the legnth of mane and the gift
of feathers on the ankles.
They are all a gift from above.   I unfortunately love every one of them.
That is why we  have a heard of over 50.       Love to all JOHN

Hey, Marsha...I didn't make the color-name rules for the WPCSA!!! Part of
the problem is that some color names mean different things to different
people and even sometimes they mean one thing for a while and then another.
The WPCSA seems to have tried to keep it simple, which is no bad thing.  For
instance, to some people "cream" means any yellow non-dun (or buckskin)
animal that isn't dark enough to be a palomino.  To others it is the color
that the palomino association thinks is palomino and to these same people
palomino is the lighter colored yellow with light m & t color.  I put a
question about this to the open forum at the AGM to see if we could sort of
standardize what we mean and everyone there had a different idea....and
these were the enthusiasts that bothered to come to an AGM to discuss
issues!  I agree you can't be grey without a grey parent (I think everyone
does) and can't imagine which registrar thought grulla was grey.  Personally
I have never seen a true Welsh that color.  I have had one or two that
SEEMED that color at birth but eventually turned black and in one case black
and then grey (real grey).  I would love seeing pictures of an ADULT Welsh
with that color.  Another problem we have is that people think the "foaling
color" means whatever they thought it was the day the foal was born.  Now
most people recognize that foals have "baby fuzz" that can be very
mis-leading.  I believe the "foaling color" is the real color that the pony
is before it greys (or else it is the color the pony will always be, if it
doesn't grey)....but I see people registering things "bay (foaled chestnut)"
which I don't believe is anything more than the baby fuzz on the legs
mis-leading them...often the black points are hard to see on a new-born.
Anyway, although I am interested in color genetics I am not an expert and
like simple rules and names.  I also have never seen but one silver dapple
in Welshdom, but I have seen lots that people wanted to call silver dapple.
So whatta we gonna' do?  Gail

I  would maybe recommend to you the "kit Show Grooming The Look of a Winner
by Charlene Strickland. the ISBN# is0914327377.  I'm the manager of a book
store and Welsh ponies or books are my side lines can't have too much of
either one!
   This kit is great to put up in the barn it has 12 full color instruction
cards on trimming, braiding, what to pack for the show etc. esp nice if you
have a stable and board or children or just new to it all.
   You should be able to order it by the ISBN # if not e- mail me and I'll get
you one.
   A little pricey as it was $29.95 a few years ago.

Hey Marsha, I couldn't agree MORE on this subject of calling colors. I have
a BUCKSKIN yearling. Not a dun(as he is registered)! Had a filly here that
was classed liver cream(lovely dark chocolate palomino). Society apparantly
says palomino is the color of a newly minted penny. Anyone ever had that
color? The official palomino description is that of a newly minted gold
coin.

We all seem to have forgotten the Vault feature of egroups, so I just
uploaded
the pedigree file to see what it would do, and it works just fine.  You can
see
it by going to "http://www.egroups.com/files/ponies/" and scrolling down to
find the entry BREEZE.XLS.  Click on it to open it if you have a spreadsheet
program that will recognize the ".XLS" format.

The vault feature is easy to use and is much faster than downloading a big
photo file.  Look into it!

Thanks for the info.  We sure like the disposition of ponies descended from
the Bowdell Buccaneer line.  Just a coincidence we named our first foal by
4-R Corsair  Windridge Cherry Blossom,  but her dam was LLoydor Cherry Red.
So we have had several with "Cherry  names over the years.

Hi Eve,
 
I travel all other the country to show and haul in a 4 horse stcok trailer and use hay BAGS, not nets.  Yes, a pony can get a foot up in a bag, but I also put those safety release  snaps(the kind on cross ties) on my bags, so a quick pull and the bags comes down.  Done it like this for years, and works well for me.
 
Good luck,

As haynets are still sold in almost every tack store or catalogue that I do business with and assuming that I'm not the last horse lover to find out about the dangers of haynets then perhaps you would like to go further and reccommend the safest method of feeding hay in a trailering situation. Is there a problem with the bags or is there another method out there that is even safer and can still be used effectively in a stock trailer?
 
Thanks,

Thank you for explaining why hay nets are no longer used by most horse lovers.  As a tack dealer I won't even sell them to people.   Way too dangerous an item!!!
Nora Lukas




 have a stock trailer with a divider gate in the middle. I always use the forward compartment when I am trailering a single pony. When I took my yearling to Spring Fling, I heavily bedded with shavings and the colt rode loose. When I take my grade gelding or my little cob they are both tied but they are still free to move around and choose what position they want to assume to maintain balance.

I learned a very valuable lesson at Spring Fling. As we were leaving the show grounds, the trailer started to rock and jump horribly. I went back to see what the problem was and found that the colt had gotten one foreleg caught in the hay net. I always tie those things as high as I can but Jasper is so small that he has to rear to see out and I'm assuming that is how he got it in there. Anyhow just as I got the ramp down he freed himself and no damage done but that is the last time I use one of those things. For the ride home I emptied the hay onto the shavings and that is what I will do for Jasper from now on. I guess I'll do haybags for the bigger ponies unless someone else has a better suggestion.

Hello,

I am looking for some advice on trailering as we are new at it... I'm wondering whether it's best to tie your ponies or leave them untied while transporting?

Also, is it all right to place a stallion next to a mare in a trailer, or does that pose potential problems?

Any advice would be gratefully received!

Thanks so much,

Debbie,
     Is Lane's Cherry Blossom by Bowdell Buccaneer ?  I just wondered , I
don't have a set of stud books to look it up in.  My senior herd stallion is
double bred  Bowdell Buccaner and has a similar look to your guy.

OK....the whole story.  The New York State Horse
Breeders show decided to add a pair class at the last
minute.  I believe it was 1983.  Claudia rode her pony
Bristol Salome with my sister Catherine on GlanNant
Serenade.  My friend Liz Merman rode Riarm Cricket
with me on Aquila Sacharine.  "Sugar"  as Claudia
called her was barely broken to saddle and was mainly
used as a driving pony.  She did carry young Gretchen
Novak around in the leadline.
My mother and I were just discussing last night, that
it was probably not the wisest thing she ever let me
do, but nonetheless I was fearless.
"Sugar" was ok in the warm up ring, but we soon
discovered that driving and leadline ponies do not
readily pick up the canter!
In to the big scary coliseum we went.  Once in the
ring, "Sugar"  got so nervous that I lost all control.
  She frantically chased her stable mate "Sally" around
the ring.  When "Sally"  walked, "Sugar walked....when
"Sally" trotted "Sugar" trotted, and yes when "Sally
cantered, "Sugar" did something resembling a canter
but it really felt more like a fast frantic hop.  I
had no control whatsoever!  Liz who was riding my
pair, just had to keep up.  I had no hope of trying to
stay with her.
I'm sure we were quite the sight.  Two little ten year
olds in pigtails frantically zooming around the ring
weaving in and out of all the sadllebreds!
Well the judge either took pity on us or thought we
were too cute to resist....we won.
So proud were we...we walked up to get our blue
ribbons and our HUGE silver trophies!  Well Sugar
handled the cantering...but there was no way she was
going near that big shiny thing.  I reached out to get
the trophy just as the coliseum lights hit the
surface.  "Sugar" bolted.  And yes I am proud to say
as ever good horseman should I dropped that pony, and
hung on to my precious silver platter!
Well what followed was the longest few minutes of my
life.  Sitting there on the arena floor, clinging to
my trophy.  All those snazzy saddle bred people
staring down at me, the pesky little kid that had just
beaten them after cutting them off everytime around
the ring.
My sister finally climbed off of "Serenade" and came
over to see if I was OK.  I have a feeling I said yes
I was fine and so was my trophy!

Somewher I have a abeautiful picture of us doing our
victory lap.  I'll enclose it soon.  Please note that
I am a little dirty and am no longer carrying that
trophy.

ps...Thanks Claudia for the memories!
