Sales December 2007   We often have youngstock for sale and occasionally have ponies already with training. We do encourage sales of youngsters at affordable prices which allows their new owner to begin training. Our young ponies do undergo much training even before they begin under saddle. As weanlings, they learn to stand for the vet and farrier and even begin to learn about being loosely tied for grooming. As yearlings, they go to the trainer's barn to learn what it is like to be around the hustle and bustle of a show barn. They begin working in a round pen and even start wearing a bit at this time. As two year olds, they are introduced to the saddle and learn about lining. Our youngstock is not broken under saddle until the winter of their third year, when they are coming four year olds. This gives them plenty of time to grow and learn all the ground manners needed to be a child's pony. All of our ponies are up to date on vaccines (EWT, West Nile, Potomac and Rabies), farrier work and deworming. All of the ponies have been microchipped to be able to maintain a positive ID on each individual.   Sommertime Zoot Suit Riot Zoot is a registered half-Welsh gelding by Gayfields Silver Sprocket and out of Zangible, a registered Arabian. He is eligible for registration as a Half-Arabian and Welera. Foaled in 2003, Zoot inherited his dam's laid back demeaner and his sire's beauty. He was lightly shown in 2004, but was left off the show string in 2006 to make way for another young pony to be shown. Zoot returned to the show ring in 2007, bringing home second and third place ribbons for in-hand classes. He has a lovely, floating trot that would turn heads in the dressage ring. Zoot will be heading to the trainer's barn January 1st to be finished under saddle. If you are interested in Zoot, please contact me right away because his price will increase significantly once he heads back to the trainer. Zoot will be pulled off the sales list on January 1st, but will return to the sales list once he is finished under saddle.       Sommertime Olympic Spirit Ollie is from our first foal crop in 2002 and we couldn't be happier with him. He is exactly what I was hoping to get from this breeding, except that he is a boy (now a gelding). His dam is the above mare, Brookside Merit, who is a full sister to Brookside Pink Magnolia and Brookside Mariposa. These two sisters have been breeding stunning hunter foals in Virginia and been successfully shown. This colt's sire is Cloe Olympian who has numerous foal that can be seen in the Small/Medium Pony hunter ring, several of which consistently qualify for the Pony Finals each year. I feel this pony is destine for a successful career in the hunter ring. He should finish as a small (12.1-12.2) and is gray. Ollie has been shown a few times on the line, and done very well. At the Heartland Welsh show in 2004, he was Reserve Grand section B gelding and bettered himself in 2005 by finishing Reserve Supreme Gelding at Heartland. Ollie has had three months of professional training where he has been saddled, bridled and had a ride on his back. He is ready to be finished and shown under saddle. If you would like some more pictures of him or a DVD, feel free to contact me.   SOLD Good luck to Nancy Brown of Wyoming, OH on her purchase of Ollie who is going forward to his career as a carriage driving pony!     Sommertime Marimba Marimba is another filly by Gayfields Silver Sprocket. She has the quiet, sensible demeaner Sprocket has put on all of his foals. Although she appears bay in her picture, she will turn gray. He mother is the lovely Brookside Merit who is owned by John Almond of Monkton, MD. Marimba will be heading to the trainer's barn this fall for her kindergarten lessons. If you would like some more pictures of her or a DVD, feel free to contact me.   SOLD Congratulations to Susan Kubak on her purchase of Marimba who will be the Grandchildren's pony.             Sommertime Zamboni Zam is a quiet gelding and full brother to Zoot. Even though he is Zoot's little brother, he string tests to finish around 14.0hh. Bory a bay roan, Zam will turn grey. Zam has visited the trainer for 30 days as a yearling and passed Kindergarten with flying colors. He will be heading back to the trainer's barn as a two-year-old to prepare for in-hand showing in 2007.   SOLD We wish all the luck in the world to Susan Kubak and Zam. This sweet fellow is slated to be Susan's personal riding pony. I hope you have many years of good times with Zamboni.           Sommertime Rain Rain began her show career at the ripe old age of four month, where she did quite well finishing the day as Reserve champion junior filly under both judges. In 2006, Rain returned to the show ring finishing in the ribbons each time with a second and forth at Heartland and a pair of thirds at Ohio in a tough fillies class of seven.   SOLD Congratulations to Medea Reitvelt of Ontario, Canada on her purchase of Rain. The updates on her keep coming that she is continueing to improve in the show ring in 2006. Good luck on continued success!             Dandelion Deelie is our "bonus baby" of 2005. She came to our farm in utero when we acquired our rescue mare. From a small, neglected mare we were thrilled to receive this giant filly. She is a stunning buckskin with four anklets and a star. She has always been kind and curious since the day she was born. I truely believe she knows she was born in a safe place and has been grateful for the good food and gentle hands. Deelie is reasonably priced because she is not eligable for registration with the WPCSA. If you would like some more pictures of her or a DVD, feel free to contact me. A kind home is a MUST for this special filly.   SOLD Congratulations to Amy Basset of Muncie, IN on her purchase of Zoey.
