Dear Members

THE SOCIETY Annual General Meeting and

Conference Weekend will be held on the

weekend, June 23rd – 24th at the Best Western

Airport Motel, Attwood, ten minutes from Mel-

bourne Airport. An exciting part of the weekend

will be the launch of the Society history publi-

cation, ‘The First Forty Years’.

This will be the culmination of a great deal of

time and effort by Joan McKinlay, Jean Hill and

members who have assisted greatly with proof

reading and advice. The contributions by many

members of articles and photos to ensure a

record is kept of the Society from its beginnings

are very much appreciated. Reading the early

accounts makes one realise how hard the found-

ing members worked to build our Society, and

ensure accurate records have been kept of the

Welsh Breeds.

Details of the Weekend Program are in this issue

of Action. Please join us for a social weekend and

to be part of our continuing history.

Resumés for those members standing for the

Committee of Management are included in this

Action. Six COM members stood down, and

five of them have re-stood. Lana Crompton of

South Australia has not stood again. On behalf

of all members I sincerely thank Lana for her

very important contributions to the Society and

wish her all the best. I hope Lana will stand

again in the future. Louise Colthorpe from

Queensland nominated for COM,

so this meant there were six nom-

inations for six positions, so there

will be no ballot this year. Thank

you and congratulations to the six

members who have nominated.

The Young Ambassador inter-

views were held in April. The

new Young Ambassador for 2012

– 2013 will be announced at the

AGM. Thank you very much to

Michael Gates for his outstand-

ing contributions in the role dur-

ing his term, and welcome to the

new Young Ambassador. Each

YA brings different skills and

aims to the role and all members

benefit.

It has been sad to hear of a num-

ber of members or their family

members passing away recently.

On behalf of the Society, may I

pass on sincere condolences to all

who have suffered losses.

With weaning of foals a major

part of this time of year, please remember to send

in registration applications well before the cut

off date to assist the office and ensure paperwork

is received back in time for show entries etc.

I hope you will join us at the conference week-

end in June. Please send in registrations for the

weekend early to assist with catering and final-

ising of details. Remember there is a courtesy

bus from the Melbourne Airport which can be

organised with the conference centre.

Regards

Michele Baker

ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION REVIEW - The promotion

and advertising strategies for the Society were discussed at the Com-

mittee of Management Workshop. The Horse Scene magazine is no

longer published. Due to the large distribution coverage of Horse

Deals full page colour advertising will be in Horse Deals. The ads will

coincide with features such as Harness and Performance. The All

Welsh Supremes advert will continue in Horse Deals also. A strong

promotional strategy encourages increased interest and recognition of

the Welsh Breeds.

MEDAL SYSTEM - The Medal System was discussed in detail. At

previous Delegates’ Meetings, a tiered system of Medals has been re-

quested for consideration. Details of a two tier system of Medals will

be discussed at the Delegates’ Meeting in June at the Annual Confer-

ence.

ACTION RPG ROUND UP AND SHOW RESULTS – a survey was

sent to the RPGs requesting their comments on the space available for

RPG Round Up News, and the possible inclusion of show results. Ten

replies were received, with the majority choosing a reduction in space

for news, down to 600 words, and the inclusion of major event results

to third place. RPGs were informed of this in February. This Winter

issue includes some results, and from the Spring 2012 issue, RPG

Round Up will be reduced to 600 words.

APRIL 2012

SHOW REGULATIONS – Spurs - the Autumn issue of Action in-cluded a noticeboard item regarding the introduction of a ‘spurs ban’for all classes other than Dressage and Working Hunter as of 1st August2012.

THIS EDITION features Geldings and Part Welsh, and

what better showcase for the breed than these wonder-

ful ponies and cobs that are constantly out not just in

the show ring, but in all equine fields. It’s also a re-

minder of how important it is to register our geldings

and Part Welsh to recognise their talents and breeding;

recently I was contacted with details of a fabulous Part

Welsh pony (see pic), however he had not ever been registered. It’s nice

to know at least that he is recognised as having Welsh breeding in the

Camp drafting circles. Recently he placed third in his rider age group at

the Queensland state titles in Chinchilla.

After discussion and surveying our Regional Promotional Groups it has

been decided that from the Spring 2012 edition show results will be in-

cluded again in the Action as space permits, however the Regional Pro-

motional Group notes will be limited to 600 words, which is approximately

half a page. Action is a great communication tool for our society, we like

to keep everyone up to date with information and events, so remember to

keep the information coming in. Megan Howe

Coast Branch of the Australian Stock Horse Society. I became involved in Welsh ponies during my school years

in Victoria and developed a love for them that has stuck with me; I cannot imagine not being involved in this won-

derful versatile Breed of Pony

I worked for Lady Creswick at the Nattai Stud for a few years around 1988. I learnt a lot from that time and am

still learning more and more about the Welsh Breed..

I also went to Western Australia in late 1976 and worked with Welsh Ponies showing in the wonderful west I en-

joyed my time there - a great State that at one stage of my life I was going to move to. When I had finished with

the Welsh Ponies I went to St Leonards riding school and worked for the Pavlinovich Family at their riding school.

I have been a member of the Committee of Management for the Welsh Pony and Cob Society since 2008. During this time I have been involved

in the Young Judges competition and Junior Club and with the backing of the committee I have made this event very much sought after and have

had only one absent state representative over the last three years. The young judges are becoming quite knowledgeable about the Welsh Ponies and

the way the Society runs. I am always at the end of the phone if any young judge needs assistance. Organising the events at some of the All Welsh

Shows and the National Welsh Show having been my major role.

Avlon Ponies you will see at as many shows as I can get to; I do like to have them out and about at local country events. Supporting these events I

consider important. I also Judge as often as I can and have arranged information days throughout my area to encourage more people to understand

the Welsh Pony and Cob Society.

If you vote me back onto the Committee of Management of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society I will continue to try and involve people from isolated

places in our vast country more in the Society and events throughout NSW and Australia.

Nominee: Dr Louise Colthorpe Nominated by: Sue Groundwater

Closeburn, Queensland Seconded by: Wendy Trimble

I am seeking an opportunity to serve on the committee of management to contribute to the business activities of

the Society and to promote the Welsh breeds.

My involvement with the Welsh breeds began in the early 1980s when my family began breeding Welsh Mountain

Ponies under the ‘Eradan’ prefix in South Australia. After I shifted to Queensland in 1989 I was looking for a har-

ness pony for myself and bought the Section A gelding Cardross Empathy (aka ‘Oigle’), who the family had orig-

inally purchased as a colt, shipping him to Queensland. We competed for some years in harness, and I became

involved with the Caboolture Carriage Club, serving at various times as secretary and treasurer.

In 1997 I purchased my first Section C and became involved with the Queensland Welsh RPG through showing

her. After I inherited the family stud in 2002, shifting the ponies to Queensland, I began breeding section A, C and

Ds together with my husband on our property north of Brisbane.

In recent years I have become a more active member of the Qld RPG, currently serving as the treasurer of the group and contributing to the organ-

isation of the Youngstock Show. I recently completed the judges assessment process and I am now on the Society's judges panel.

In 2010 I had the opportunity to visit the UK, visiting studs and sales, and gained an insight into the activities of WP&CS. I work at the University

of Queensland as a lecturer in Physiology, teaching courses for Science, Vet Science, Medicine and the Allied Health Science students.

As a member of the COM I believe I can represent a broad spectrum of members from both the breeding and performance sectors and with insight

from a regional perspective.

Nominee: Megan Howe Nominated by: Diane Aumann

Londrigan, Victoria Seconded by: Helen Nicholls

Welsh Ponies & Cobs have been my life; I have been able to enjoy great times with our wonderful breed. My

family breeds all sections of the stud book and I know first-hand what all sections have to offer the world, from

dressage, eventing, pony club, showing, harness to trail riding and it’s great to be able to promote our wonderful

breed for all the family and put back into the Society by serving on the Committee of Management.

With a long involvement with our Regional Promotional Groups and various show and sub committees I under-

stand the support that the Committee of Management needs to provide to these groups and our individual members

across Australia. Keeping our membership informed, encouraging new and established members to join in the

activities of the Society and most importantly seeing our young members supported and maintained within the

Society are key roles of the Committee of Management. As editor of Action I know this is one of the tools for

providing information to all states and that our publications complement the work of seminars and information

days. I look forward to helping the future growth of our wonderful Society.

Nominee: John Riley Nominated by: Elizabeth Doyle

Pittsworth, Queensland Seconded by: Christine Gray

I seek your support for a further term on the COM. I believe that I have the experience in business management

to contribute to the continued success of the Society. I have served on the finance committee and for the last 10

years edited the Journal in which time advertising revenue has been built to the point where this publication,

which is widely admired here and overseas, is close to being self-funding.

As chairman of the Queensland RPG I am aware of the needs of the members and will endeavour to act in the

best interest of the membership at all times. I am committed to encouraging young people to enjoy the experience

of owning a Welsh pony or cob and participating in the activities of the Society. I have actively supported the in-

troduction of classes for Junior Club members at the QAWS and the launching of the Young Ambassadors award.

I have been a member of our Society since settling in Australia in 1992 and a life member of the WP&CS for 40

years.

Nominee: Denise Rule Nominated by: Gary Le Brocq

Cohuna, Victoria Seconded by: Jennifer Gardiner

Member of the Editing Committee since being elected to COM in 1996. Chairperson of Editing since 1998

during which time I have been involved in the production of ten Stud Books (presently working on Volume

18). Victorian Foal Futurity Organiser for the past 18 years.

Having enjoyed being part of your COM and a progressive Society, I once again seek your favourable consid-

eration. If elected, I will continue to work for the benefit of all Members, and their ponies, and continue

working towards Stud Books being produced on a regular basis.

Nominee: Wendy Trimble Nominated by: Robert Owen

Tooradin, Victoria Seconded by: Anthony Deane

I have been a committed, honest and open minded member of the Committee of Management of the Welsh Pony and

Cob Society since 1998. I currently hold the positions of Senior Vice Chairman, Promotions Officer, Promotional

Goods Coordinator and have also served on the Editing Committee for 11 years and Finance for the past year.

With the ever changing equine market trends, I feel we must maintain a high level of interest in the Welsh breeds and

aim to gain new members through various avenues of promotion such as pony dressage, working hunter and show

hunter classes. I am also very mindful of the importance of maintaining our breed standards of excellence within the

sections. Welsh Ponies and Cobs are such a truly versatile breed for both adults and children to enjoy. Therefore I

place a high importance on the encouragement of the involvement of our younger members as they are the future of

our society.

My aim is to ensure that our society continues to grow and progress in a professional manner as it has done and serves

its members efficiently and promptly for the benefit of all. My involvement and experience in a family business and

marketing is valuable in assisting with the continued sound administration of the Society.

Close involvement with a Regional Promotional Group has given me an understanding and an appreciation of their valuable work promoting the

Welsh Breed. I will always be available to listen with an open mind to members from all states about their issues and needs and convey their views

to the COM.

I will do my utmost to serve all members to the best of my ability and ensure that the decisions made by the committee of management are beneficial

to both the members and the future of our society.

WELSH PONY & COB SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA INC BUDGET 2012 - 2013

THE BUDGET presented by the COM for the 2012/2013 financial yearreflects the financial performance achieved by the National Office in

2011/2012 and best estimates of likely cost changes affecting the businessactivities of the Society in the year ahead. No significant increases in in-come are anticipated and the two major expenditures relate to the upgrad-ing of the Stud Book program and an increase in staff costs.

The Budget anticipates an operating loss of just under $10,000 howeverthis will be offset by a withdrawal from the Stud Book term deposit tomeet the cost of the upgrade to the On-line Stud Book Program. The fundsin the Stud Book term deposit was donated to the WP&CS in 2007 by the

NSW Eastern RPG Committee, led by Lori Howell to purchase the On-line Stud Book Program and any surplus money to be invested to coverfuture upgrades such as the one proposed.

The COM are very aware of the need to justify all expenditure and arecontinually looking at opportunities to save costs while maintaining thequality of services provided to the members.

In the year ahead, the COM will continue to encourage the RPGs andWorking Groups to improve the management of their financial affairs sothat the published end of year statements more accurately reflect theirachievements during the year.

16 Action Winter 2012

THE NSW ALL BREEDS Foal Show will be

held on 15th July at Hawkesbury Show-

ground catering for all breeds, with Society

Medals for Supreme Welsh In Hand Exhibit and

Supreme Part Welsh. This year we are trialling

a double chance show with two rings for each

breed, results from both rings will be accepted

by Sydney Royal. Entries are on the day and

programs will be available on the Society web-

site, Emmas Show Horses website and the NSW

Welsh website www.welshnsw.homestead.com.

This is a must on the social calendar.

The NSW All Welsh Show will again be held at

the Sydney International Equestrian Centre on

19th – 21st October 2011. Schedules are in this

issue of Action. Some wonderful donations have

already been received. As usual, Committee is

endeavoring to provide great prizes for all

Championship winners and prize money vouch-

ers for as many Supremes and Championships

as possible and any assistance from members or

friends is gratefully appreciated. Society Medals

will be awarded for Supreme Welsh In Hand,

Supreme Led Part Welsh, Supreme Ridden

Welsh and Supreme Ridden Part Welsh. Entries

close 3rd August but early entries would be ap-

preciated. Our overseas judges this year are

from the Netherlands, Henrie Leeuwenhaag and

Elbert Koelewijn.

Don't forget the NSW Foal Futurity. This is for

foals due to be born 1/8/2012 until 31/7/2013

and all entry fees pool together to form prize-

money. The foals are then judged in separate fu-

turity classes at the NSW All Welsh when they

are two years old. Pre-birth entry fee is only

$3.30, why not enter your pending foal. The

entry form is in this issue of Action.

Sydney Royal was held in April 2012 with the

lucky Gelding, Section C & D and Ridden ex-

hibits enjoying lovely weather and the Section

A, B and Part Welsh drowning in torrential rain.

Throughout the rain the judge, Darrell Owen,

continued to smile and I think everyone enjoyed

the efficient manner in which he judged his ex-

hibits in very adverse conditions. It was a won-

derful social few days and was lovely to catch

up with Marge Brown and Meg Foster watching

the classes from the new grandstand. We wish

Meg all the best with the operation on her ankle

and hope to see her showing again in the near fu-

ture.

Eastern NSW RPG lost another prominent

breeder in April with the passing of Margaret

Winchcombe at the age of 92. Margaret bred

Welsh Mountain Ponies under the prefix of

Pasadena for many years. The stud was estab-

lished using mainly Fairway mares and the New

Zealand stallion ‘Crick Coel’ and progeny pro-

duced went on to not only be very successfully

shown but to also provide the foundation for

many other studs.

Russell Nixon was another loss to the Welsh

Pony world, also passing away in April. Russell

was a previous Eastern NSW RPG Committee

member and was very active in the area before

moving ‘west’ a few years ago. Russell’s cobs

were bred under the Rockfire prefix. Our deep-

est sympathy goes to his wife Kay and son Gavin.

VALE: Werribell Peek A Boo aka ‘Toby’ beloved

companion of Tamara Bell for five short years.

Toby was an unexpected arrival after his yearling

parents Kylandee William and Cherrington Saf-fron spent a few hours turned out together. The

following year at the NSW All Welsh, and after

many comments regarding Saffron's ‘ample

girth’, Tamara organised a pregnancy test and

discovered she would soon have two ponies! A

slightly shaky start for Toby ensued, but he

pulled through splendidly. Upon weaning

Tamara made the difficult decision of selling his

Mum and concentrating all her efforts on him

Thus began his show career ... and what a career

it was! Wins at Sydney Royal, NSW All Welsh,

Arabian Nationals, East Coast just to name a

few. Recently broken in, Toby had just started

to accumulate well deserved wins under saddle.

Both he and Tamara were on top of the world.

Sometimes the gifts we are given are taken away

too soon.

Yarra Heights Stud is very excited to announce

that they have bought the lovely Welsh A colt

Richdale Nemo by Weston Park Sherlock and out

of the lovely Imperial Nikita and are looking for-

ward to showing him in the near future.

Stenbury Park exhibited four ponies in just four

classes at Sydney Royal for fantastic results.

Our resident Stallion Llangollen Top Notch was

awarded Champion WM Stallion or Colt for the

second year in a row. Nilton Rhiannon won a

very strong WM Filly 2yrs and under class. Our

B Gelding Stenbury Park Legacy was fifth in his

class and the little pink dynamite Moresby LodgeSir Winston owned by Victoria Waring and Dar-

ren Berle and prepared by us won his Senior A

Gelding class. Megan Wansbrough travelled up

from Hobart and spent the weekend with us and

her help was invaluable. We only hope that

Megan makes Sydney Royal an annual ‘Holiday’

as we have jointly purchased a new colt that will

join our team here in NSW. He will be named

Woranora Salsbri. This upstanding quality colt

is by Weston Park Tully (Exp NZ) and out of the

lovely Three-B Supergirl. It was good to see our

little man standing alongside ‘Susie’ when she

was sashed Reserve Champion WM Mare at the

show. It was also positive to hear many lovely

comments about him from those on the ringside

at the show. He will be campaigned here in

NSW before no doubt heading south to Tasma-

nia in years to come.

Woranora Stud reports that they are very pleased

with the first Australian born foals by their new

stallion Ysselvliedts Golden Boy (Imp NEd). All

are wonderful movers and those for sale have

found fabulous homes. A bay colt out of Wora-nora Nadia, a cremello filly out of WoranoraNerida and a palomino filly out of Imperial Ne-fertiti have been retained. Even more exciting

is that Golden Boy again was listed on the UK

Sires Rating list, with only one progeny repre-

senting him to gain the points.

Carlingford Park Stud, situated in the pictur-

who was also successful at Sydney Royal being

One of our early Southern NSW RPG Commit-

tee members, Russell Nixon of Rockfire Welsh

Cobs, sadly passed away on Good Friday in

April. He was a strong supporter and a previous

member of the early Eastern RPG. Russell was

a very well known show exhibitor in all the east-

ern states, with in hand , harness and saddle stal-

lions and mares. His wife Kaye and son Gavin

always travelled to shows with Russell. Our

very sincere sympathy to Kaye and Gavin.

STUD NEWS

HOLLYDALE STUD had a fantastic Sydney

Royal Show with Kenda Park Rising Star win-

ning the stallion/colt class and then being

awarded Best Section C. Just a few weeks ago

he was Champion C Colt at the Pony of the Year

Show, and is now having a well earned break

over Winter.

On a sadder note, I laid to rest the Section A stal-

lion Flowerdale Fox (Imperial Pablo x Imperial

Sassie) due to a sudden debilitating illness. He

was such a wonderful little pony and he is al-

ready greatly missed. I have his two year old

daughter and a special filly, born after his pass-

ing on a black Friday. She is out of RosehavenFairy (Weston Hoopla Imp UK x Imperial Joain)who has been a difficult breeder and this is her

only surviving foal thus far. I think this little

filly was 'meant to be' and will be named Holly-dale Fairy Floss. Hollydale Sampson, Section C

gelding, has been sold to Jerri Cody of Canberra

for her daughter. He has already been shown

under saddle for Champion Novice Pony and

teamed up with Jerri's daughter to win Champion

Junior Handler. Jo BaileyBELLINGARA STUD has lots of exciting news.

We've recently purchased the NSW All Welsh

Champion Colt, Creswell The Conqueror and

look forward to using him over our mares next

season.

It's been a truly outstanding show season for our

Welsh ponies. The super moving yearling filly

Bellingara Shiloh has had some big wins for the

Brown family, including Supreme Led Pony

Bungendore Show and Supreme Welsh A at

Goulburn Show.

Bellingara Shogun has been doing consistently

well, following up his NSW All Welsh Res

Champion with Reserve Champion Welsh

Mountain Pony Stallion / Colt at Sydney Royal

in a strong lineup. We feel the best is yet to

come for this promising two year old colt.

Bellingara Leilani (Trentlyn Benson x ChelseaPark Lily) has been the most outstanding mem-

ber of our show team, this season winning

Champion Welsh A at Albion Park, the APSB

Southern Highlands Show and Berry Show. To

cap it off we were thrilled when judge Darrell

Owen of Owendale Stud awarded her Supreme

Welsh Exhibit at Sydney Royal. Jane BramleyNISCINDA WELSH COBS. Still keeping on

with my Welsh Cobs, I have some really nice

mares that have been served by my golden buck-

skin Niscinda Amigo (Annan Welshman xAcheron Lilis Last). Poelm Bambi (BurrowaBannod x Andado Elle) returned here from West-

ern Australia and is definately in foal now, also

Niscinda Mystique (Annan Welshman x NiscindaDomanique) who was sold as a weanling has

come home. She is black, very very solid and

typey. Acheron My Lili (Llanina Merlin Imp UKx Acheron Christmas Lili) has also been served,

I know she can produce well. My other mare

Acheron Dawn (Redwood Derw Imp UK xAcheron Dant y Llew) has a very upstanding colt

this year, with terrific bone and his dad's (Ni-scinda Trustee) laid back temperament. Born

bay, this boy has darkened considerably, no

white so will be very balanced and easy to show.

The Welsh flag was held high at the recent Can-

berra Classic open dressage championships.

Rockfire U-Turn (Niscinda Mastercard X Impe-rial Magdelyn) (pictured below, photo by Steve

Brammall) was awarded the Elementary pony

championship with scores that put him second

and fifth compared to the big horses. ‘Wombat’a Section C gelding who is now nine years old,

continues to be a consistent competitor at this

level and he is embarking on Medium level next

competition.

At this same comp was a new Welsh Cob that

made an immediate impact! Niscinda WelshTorque (Annan Welshman X Acheron Lili’s Last)(pictured below, photo by Equiscape Photogra-

phy) is a lovely palomino Section D gelding,

who is being capably ridden and trained by

young rider Josie Laver. The Lavers have owned

Torque from a weanling and at only four years

old he placed first and third in the preliminary

and first and fourth in the novice classes at Can-

berra Classic to be runner up Preliminary Cham-

pion and Novice Champion on the Sunday. This

pony is one to keep an eye on!

GEMSFIELD STUD have had a very suc-

cessful Autumn in the Show ring, with the

Part Welsh mare Birdwood Bush Blossom (byBirdwood Bushranger) being sashed Australian

Champion Arabian Pony Mare at the recent Aus-

tralian Arabian Championships – a true ambas-

sador for the Welsh breed! The Stud is looking

forward to the upcoming Foal Shows, and is

watching the pregnant bellies of their small

broodmare band with anticipation of spring

bringing some lovely Part Welsh foals by Bam-borough Royal Request and BirdwoodBushranger.

EAST & MOLLOY FAMILY SHOW TEAM:-

have had a successful start to 2012. We com-

peted at Sydney Royal with four ponies, bringing

home wins or placings in almost every class.

Our own Part Welsh four year old mare BellridgeMadonna (Cherrington Mozart x LlanfairbrynSassy) competed at her first Royal Show as a

senior mare and showed her versatility, placing

Top 3 in all her breed classes. This included a

place in the very large Led Part Welsh Mare over

13hh class, and also a win in the Led Arabian

Derviative Mare 13-14hh class. We look for-

ward to her 2012 Newcomer season under sad-

dle. The two year old Welsh B filly CherringtonTop Class (Cherrington Mozart x Imperial Hy-Class) also exceeded our expectations, compet-

ing at her first ever Royal Show and taking

everything in her stride. She placed third in a

very strong Led Australian Saddle Pony Filly, ne

14.2hh class and fourth in her Welsh B class. We

were also pleased with Part Welsh WillowcrestToy Shop (Ascot Toy Soldier x SilkwoodPollyanna), whom we campaign for the Hoy

Family from Nyngan, placing in his Ridden ASP

class and working sweetly all show for his junior

rider. This came off the back of competing at the

ENSW Interschool Championships with his jun-

ior owner, placing second in the Interschool

Challenge (three-phase) and third Combined

Training, all from huge class entries!

We look forward to competing at the upcoming

Youngstock Shows with our Welsh and Part

Welsh team, including a couple of new additions.

Also a huge thank you to all who have helped us

out at the shows, and to the numerous owners

who have entrusted us to campaign their ponies.

Every second is a pleasure!

STEVENSON FAMILY SHOW STABLES.

The first few months of 2012 has started with

success for our show team. At Canberra Royal,

Bamborough Memorize and Bamborough Sep-tember Song placed in all their classes, with

Song winning Reserve Champ Part Welsh Mare

to the eventual Supreme winner. The National

Pony of the Year Show (held at SIEC) saw Songvictorious across all her breed sections, includ-

ing Supreme Ridden Australian Pony of the Year

(second year in a row), RU Supreme Ridden RP

Hunter, three Champ Riddens ne 12.2h (Part

Welsh/ASP/RP Hunter), Champ Led Australian

Pony Mare, Champ Led Part Welsh Mare, and

capping off the show with RU Most Successful

Exhibit. Memorize was Reserve Champ APSB

/ RP Gelding, whilst our five year old newcomer

Bamborough Golly Gosh enjoyed a successful

show after a small break from the show ring. He

was RU Partbred APSB or APSB/RP of the Year,

Champ Led APSB/RP Gelding, 1st/Reserve

Champ Led Part Welsh Gelding and Top 2 in his

Ridden Newcomer class. We are very excited

about Golly Gosh’s senior career in-hand and

particularly under saddle.

Sydney Royal saw Memorize winning 1st/Re-

serve Champ Led Partbred APSB Gelding and

1st/Reserve Champ Ridden Partbred APSB. In

horrendous weather conditions that would usu-

ally cancel a show, Song achieved a win in her

Led Australian Pony Mare and Ridden Aus-

tralian Pony class, a very fitting finish for her un-

believable career. Song will be retiring to stud

to have beautiful foals. Song is not just a pony

to us; during the past four years since Jill and

Rob asked us to show her for them, she has

touched our lives and become a huge part of our

family, we love her with all our hearts. A true

show pony with a huge personality, Song’s stellar

career includes; Supreme Part Welsh Exhibit at

NSW, QLD and VIC All Welsh, Champ Ridden

Part Welsh at NSW and VIC All Welsh, WP&CS

Achiever Award winner, Supreme Part Welsh/in-

augural Jill Grant Memorial Award at Canberra

Royal, Champ Small Hunter Pony at Canberra

Royal/SHC NSW HOTY/Macquarie Bank

(Twice)/AHHA Nationals, Top 10 Grand Na-

Pony at Canberra Royal, Supreme ASP Exhibit

at both Sydney and Canberra Royals, Supreme

Ridden Exhibit at APSB Nationals, and Supreme

Ridden Part Welsh OTY and twice Supreme Rid-

den Australian Pony OTY at NPOTY Show.

Wearing Jill’s pink flower, it has been a great ho-

nour to show, take care of and love Song. A mas-

sive thank you to everyone’s support over the

years, especially Rob. Song will be hugely

missed in our family, but we look forward to her

beautiful foals.

HERE WE ARE AGAIN - a quarter of the

year has passed already, just where does the

time fly to.

The show season has finished for this part of the

year; now that winter is fast approaching us once

again everyone will be getting ready for the long

break to wean their foals and I suppose catch up

after such a busy showing season so far.

I am amazed at the quality and standard of the

new foals that I have seen that are growing

stronger and bigger by the day. As new breeders

ourselves we are amazed at just how fast our lit-

tle colt has added bone, weight, height. He is

not much smaller than his mother presently

(Vanoca Park Ivory) and at just 20 weeks old on

the 19th April 2012 he is very solidly built.

We have been very lucky so far to be having

been blessed with a foal that is kind natured,

easy to work with and no aggressive tendencies,

though we have been informed by our experi-

enced breeder friends that he may very well

change later on. I’m pretty sure that his mum is

starting to get over him as he tries to push her

around at feed times, but for us the experience

is something very wonderful and a steep learning

curve and we feel very lucky that our first foal

was this good.

Our group has held their Annual Foal show, we

will have our Annual Meeting in July and then

the real action starts as we kick off the new sea-

son with our Working Hunter Clinic and our An-

nual Performance Show – check out the notice

board for further information. We would love to

see some new faces at our Annual Meeting or at

any of our events.

STUD NEWS

UHAVTA STUD: The show season has now fin-

ished and what a great year we had. We have just

returned from the Canberra Royal with our year-

ling colt Uhavta Kensington (White RoseMichelangelo / Kirreway Diamontina) who

stood Champion Part Welsh Stallion / Colt. We

were extremely pleased with our little man and

his behavior at the show.

Our stud had an extremely successful Show

bourne Royal Horse Show and Canberra Royals.

We won numerous Champions and Top Ten

awards with Uhavta Hocus Pocus (Panozzo

Now it is weaning time. We have just weaned

one thoroughbred foal and four ponies. We have

seven foals due, so it is always busy. Take care

over the winter months. Uhavta Stud.KARANGA STUD: We were very pleased with

our crop of foals by the beautiful CherringtonMozart and thank John While very much for al-

lowing us to use this special stallion.

Karanga Ladybird has a stunning grey filly that

is about to embark on a trip to New Zealand to

her new home with Dawn Elliott. We are retain-

ing a colt out of Karanga Baby Blue for the fu-

ture. Karanga Fantasy has a lovely brown filly

and Karanga Paris a very upstanding grey colt.

Nattai Nerod; Nattai Julia, a lovely daughter of

Nattai Jennifer and Vanoca Park Chardonnay by

Nattai Kingston. All these mares will foal to

Nattai Snowbound next season.

out of Nattai Dark Lady, Vanoca Park Lord ofthe Rings. Section A filly Karanga Scarlett has

gone to the Elargee Stud and Karanga Jasmine(Dalgangle Griffin x Karanga Charlotte) has

gone to Jason Pascoe and Laura Harrison.

RPG RoundupQueensland

SADLY two valued members have passed

away recently. Mr David Whye, Wyandra

Stud, lost a long battle with illness on 9th April,

and Mr Bill Johnston, Harcourt Stud, was tragi-

cally killed on 16 April. Our deepest sympathies

to David’s and Bill’s family and friends.

The last few months have proved to be a chal-

lenging time for many Queensland members

with several having been struck with health is-

sues causing havoc with preparations for the

events we held in March. Our hardworking sec-

retary Sue Groundwater’s knee surgery has taken

longer to heal than expected due to complica-

tions during the operation, our Publicity Officer

Tina Brewster suffered from a debilitating de-

generative neck condition that saw her in hospi-

tal for surgery while trying to process entries and

produce the catalogue for the Queensland All

Welsh Show, and member Rod Dunn suffered a

heart attack. Fortunately all are now recovering.

The committee wishes Debbie Emmerson a

quick recovery after breaking her leg in a riding

accident in April.

Congratulations to Susan Lyon’s Section A filly

Barn Hill Party Time; she was awarded Supreme

Welsh Exhibit at Canberra Royal in February.

Congratulations to Sarah Davis, our Queensland

representative at the National Junior Judging fi-

nals held at Tatura in March. Sarah did a fantas-

tic job being rewarded with the title of Runner

Up. Sarah again won the Junior Judging at the

2012 Queensland All Welsh Show, so will have

the opportunity to have another go at taking the

title at the 2013 National Show.

Our Queensland nominee for the 2012-2013

Young Ambassador Award, Catherine Wise, has

been putting in the miles before her interview in

April, presenting at our Walloon Fun Day and

also attending our Information Day in the Far

North. The Qld RPG has supported Catherine to

attend the interview with a financial contribution

towards her flight and accommodation costs.

The winners of the 2011 Welsh Pony Club Per-

formance Awards have been presented with their

rugs, kindly donated by Supreme Horseware,

and Runners Up with their saddlecloths. At the

2012 Qld All Welsh Show in March it was lovely

to see Runner Up in the Part Welsh Award, IndiBenjamin and Hannah Rayner competing which

allowed us to present her award at the show. Sis-

ters Jamie Hewitt-Toms, winner of the Welsh

award with her Section C Gypsy View Peter Pan,

and Olivia Hewitt-Toms, Runner Up in the Part

Welsh section with Lakevale Silver Leige, were

presented with their awards at the North Queens-

land Members Day the weekend following the

Qld All Welsh. Nominations for the 2012 High-

point Awards are open. It’s free entry and open

to anyone riding a registered Welsh or Part

Welsh pony or cob in any PCAQ or PCANT

event. The competition runs from the 1st Janu-

ary to the 31st December and all Pony Club

events both Official and Un-official count to-

wards points. For more information and to access

the nomination form please go to the Qld RPG

website www.wpcs.com.au/qld or phone Judy

Davis on 07 5439 0113.

The 2012 Queensland All Welsh Show was held

at Gatton Showgrounds and Indoor Arena from

16-18th March. Many thanks to Samantha

Dean, Jaclyn Clarke, Ros Heit, Hannah Barker,

Elizabeth Tonge and Kathleen Williams who

provided a series of Pony Dressage demonstra-

tions Friday evening. With entries up again on

last year it was another successful show. Full re-

sults can be found on the website.

Vicky Thompson did a great job of organising

sponsorship for the show. With so many spon-

sors to thank its not possible to mention them all

here but they are listed in full on our website,

and we thank you all very much! A particular

thank you must be extended to National Sponsor,

Supreme Horseware with their donation of rugs

for the four Section’s Supreme awards. The 2013

Queensland All Welsh Show will be held over

three full days, stay tuned for further details.

Following the Qld All Welsh Show, our first

Members Information Day was held in North

Queensland on Saturday 24th March 2012. Due

to concerns for the weather conditions, the com-

mittee and North Qld members Noeline Ikin,

Julieann McCool and Lyn McDonald set Plan B

into action, switching the venue to Tepon Eques-

trian Centre at Wondecla which provided an in-

door arena and more inland location. Qld RPG

Treasurer Louise Colthorpe and Vice Chairman

Geoff Trim opened the day, with Special Guest

Speakers Helen Williams and Peter Rutherford

from Seiont Stud, Wales following on from their

judging appointment at the Queensland All

Welsh Show, and Christine Doan, former

Olympic Dressage Rider.

Warwick Agricultural Show was held on 23-25

March, with Ruth Anderson from Bell’s Moun-

tain Stud, Northern NSW officiating. The Medal

for Supreme Welsh In-Hand was awarded to Rod

and Mary Dunn’s Section A stallion ShalidaPark Sebastian.Toowoomba Royal was held on 27-31 March,

with John While from Cherrington Stud, NSW

judging. Supreme Led Welsh was the Gatehouse

Family’s Section A filly Barn Hill Patsy. The

Pauline Owen Memorial Trophy for Supreme

Section B was fittingly awarded to Hanley Park

Stud’s Section B colt, Owendale Royal Twist.The Medal at Toowoomba Royal for Champion

Ridden Part Welsh was Terri Greve’s SalisburyToy Boy, however as this pony was awarded a

Medal at the Queensland All Welsh Show the

week prior, the Medal at Toowoomba will go to

the Reserve Champion, Carmel Perkins’ High-grove Mitsouko.

The Native Ridden Challenge was again domi-

nated by Welsh ponies of all sections, with the

Section Bs taking out the overall awards with

Emerson Ball’s Owendale Tangelo named Over-

all Champion and the Bartolo Family’s LangtreeSimon Says Reserve.

Our final Medal show for this season will be Ip-

swich Agricultural Show on 18 - 20 May.

This year the QLD RPG Committee approached

the Royal Queensland Show, requesting to have

the Best 2yr Old Exhibit in the Section As rein-

stated, to which the RNA agreed, however the

award will only continue if these classes are well

supported. The RNA have also been generous

with agreeing to add a Ridden Welsh Champi-

onship and splitting the Ridden Welsh Classes

into two height divisions.

STUD NEWS

MERLOD: Rod and Mary Dunn have sold the

palomino filly, Merlod Honey to Diane Londri-

gan. Diane says that she has been looking for 18

months for just the right filly. Also we have ex-

perienced some success in the show ring thanks

to Andrew Matheson and Matthew Turl. An-

drew showed Shalida Park Sebastian for us at

the Qld All Welsh at short notice for the Cham-

pion Welsh Mountain Pony Stallion, and at the

Warwick Show, he showed Sebastian for Cham-

pion Welsh Mountain Pony Stallion, Supreme

Led Welsh Exhibit, and Supreme Led Exhibit of

the Show. It is humbling when people come to

your assistance, especially when they do such an

excellent job and achieve success. I would also

like to say a public “thank you” to all those that

came to our aid after my recent heart attack. Your

assistance was unexpected, but most welcome.

The Qld RPG’s next meeting is planned to be

held at our usual meeting venue, Marburg Com-

Dear Action Editor,

My wife and I frequently sponsor classes at shows

in our home state of Western Australia. Recently

we sponsored the Welsh Leading Rein / First Rid-

den at the National Show and were delighted

when the exhibitor of the winning pony Cherring-

Dear Action Editor,

First let me say what a wonderful job you do of

producing our fine newsletter every quarter. We

always look forward to receiving our copy in the

mail. The many photos of lovely foals in the

Gallery of this latest edition made the reading

all the more delightful.

I would like to make one comment, and not in a

negative way but just to correct something that

may cause a misconception with some readers.

The “What’s the Rule?” box on page 3 has an

error – of the three multiple choice options for

question 3, none were correct.

Rule 51 states “Riders, drivers and handlers of

stallions and colts are to be 16 years and over on

the first day of the show.”

The listed “Answer” for question 3 excluded 16

year olds, who, by our rules, can handle stal-

lions.

Sorry to be picky. I’m a ringmaster and chief

horse steward at several shows so I keep abreast

of the rules of many equestrian organisations

and like to see them complied with.

Back to praise now. Great content and lovely

photos. We especially liked the “Best Welsh In

Hand Winners” on the inside back page.

We would love to see some overseas articles in

coming editions. Any chance of getting permis-

sion to reprint articles from UK and other Euro-

pean Welsh society magazines?

Many thanks for your work,

Chris Mathias Chivale Stud

Dear Action Editor,

BY THE TIME this report goes to print we

will have held our South Australian Welsh

and Riding Pony Foal Show on Sunday May 6th

2012. Our judges were Jane Gatehouse from

Barn Hill Stud in Queensland and Judy Ivory

from Merivale Stud in Victoria. Thanks to both

for making the trip to SA. While this is always

the smallest event on the SA Welsh showing cal-

endar it is still a very enjoyable one. We had

good entries with a couple of exhibitors even

coming across from Victoria. Many thanks to

our sponsors Wynara Stud, Dalbrae Stud, Max-

isoy Feed and Rags4Nags. Full results can be

found at www.wpcs.com.au/sa

With social media such an important way to

communicate, the SA RPG is moving with the

times and now have our own Facebook page.

Simply search for SA Welsh RPG and you can

request to become a member of the group. We

have found this to be another great way of shar-

ing information and helping other Welsh enthu-

siasts with any questions they may have.

Please put a note in your calendar for the SA

RPG's annual meeting. It will be held on Sunday

July 1st 2012 at the Burnside Community Hall.

As has been the tradition over the past couple of

years we hope to have a member of Committee

of Management come over as special guest to

talk about the Society and give us some tips on

preparing and showing Welsh ponies and cobs.

We will again be running our Performance Day

on Sunday 12th August at Talunga Park, Mt

Pleasant. Events will include Dressage, Working

Hunter and a Native Pony Competition. Keep

an eye on the Web site or Facebook page for

planning stages and this year’s event will be held

on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th November at

Talunga Park, Mt Pleasant. Again, more infor-

mation will be available closer to the event.

REMEMBER to check out the noticeboard

for details on our Annual Meeting and Foal

Futurity.

Megan Wansbrough reports - Having attended

the Welsh Nationals as a spectator for a number

of years, it was always an ambition to take a

pony to exhibit but after completing a busy show

season in Tasmania the thought of travelling

across the ‘ditch’ with a float full of ponies was

not as attractive as having a social weekend

away.

This year it actually happened. Imperial Nelly,Llangollen Cherish, Snowdon Vale Diva and

Snowdon Vale Shiraz boarded the Spirit of Tas-

mania and made the 12 hour voyage across Bass

Straight to Victoria. While the boat trip is rela-

tively short compared to the hours travelled by

many other exhibitors, it can be a rather anxious

time as once you leave your vehicle access below

deck is prohibited, the next time you see your

ponies is at 6.00am the next morning when dis-

embarking the boat.

Upon arrival at Port Melbourne ponies appeared

to have travelled well which was a huge relief as

over the years there have been many stories of

horses getting stressed and sick.

After a two hour drive we arrived at Tatura and

were very pleased to find the ground in excellent

condition after all the heavy rain and flooding the

previous week. The ponies bounced off the float

and proceeded to drag us around the ground; it

was quite obvious they had travelled far better

than we had!

Our stables were excellent, large and airy and

had a good view of the showground which came

in very handy on show day as we could watch

the classes while preparing the ponies.

Finally show day had arrived, the stables were a

hive of activity as truck and float loads of ponies

had been arriving since the early hours of the

morning. Our ponies were all quite relaxed; the

ridden ponies were worked lightly while the led

ponies enjoyed their breakfast.

As our classes drew near it was all hands on deck

ensuring ponies, handlers and riders were im-

maculately clean and ready to go. Kellie and

Julie Parish’s Imperial Nelly was first cab off the

rank with Leading Rein Pony, followed by Neil

Elkin and Snowdon Vale Shiraz in Led Part

Welsh Mare or Gelding while Michelle Shep-

hard’s Snowdon Vale Diva and Robert and

Megan Wansbrough’s Llangollen Cherish had a

reprieve until after the morning tea break.

Results included: Snowdon Vale Shiraz - Ring

One, third Gelding 4 years & over, over 12.2hh

and ne 13.2hh, third Ridden Part Welsh over

12.2hh and ne 13.2hh. Ring Two, fifth Ridden

Hunter over 12.2hh and ne 13.2hh. SnowdonVale Diva – Ring One, first Welsh Mountain

Filly Yearling. Llangollen Cherish - Ring One,

RPG RoundupTasmania

fifth Welsh Mountain Filly 2 years. ImperialNelly – Ring One, sixth Welsh Mountain Filly 3

years, second Ridden Mare/Filly of Section A

Breeding. Ring Two, fourth Welsh Leading

Rein, sixth Ridden Hunter Section A Breeding.

From a competitor’s point of view we thor-

oughly enjoyed ourselves, and would like to

thank the National Show Committee for running

such a well organised show and for making us

all feel so welcome. We have come home full of

enthusiasm and hope to be back next year. Last

but not least, a big thank you to our fellow Tas-

manians Suzanne Hede, Kim Hughes and Mel

Reid for all their help and support, we couldn’t

have done it without you!

Jennifer Perry reports - I have purchased two

Welsh A fillies from Suellen and Anthony

Deane; Llanfairbryn Snowcover and Llanfair-bryn Christina both by the lovely KingswoodSnowman. I would like to thank Suellen, An-

thony and Katie Turnbull for the opportunity to

purchase these lovely fillies. I still have my

beautiful Welsh B stallion Werona Hills in Re-membrance, (Oak Park Montezuma x KoonamaRejoice). On a sadder note I had to have my

lovely Section C mare Acheron Fflam put down.

I am looking forward to the arrival of my new

fillies and hopefully getting to show them in the

future.

Salron Park - We at Salron Park have had a great

2011-2012 show season! Our home bred filly,

Salron Park Miss Pink took out numerous

supremes, and our lovely yearling B filly,

Tooravale Madonna was Supreme Youngstock

at the All Welsh, and finished the season taking

out Grand Champion Exhibit at the APSB

Youngstock Show. What a thrill! We have only

had one filly foal born this season, a sooty black

buckskin out of our multi supreme mare Glen-view Ice Rose by Woranora Minstrel, we are

looking forward to weaning and bringing her out.

Ron is keeping busy handling the ponies. A filly,

Salron Park Rhiannon, who is always first at the

gate, is currently being mouthed and driven, and

our new addition has arrived, kindly thanks to

Tassie Horse Transport, the B filly, BramptonScarlet O'Hara, a dilute black yearling, to add to

the show team, and later to put to our future stud

sire Tooravale Armani.Tajara Park - Sarowan Park Spellbound (Sec B

colt) has been sold and will be replaced by the

Welsh Mountain colt Creswell Mardi Gras. A

huge thank you to Matthew Patterson and Peter

Scanlon of Brooklyn Lodge for entrusting me

with this beautiful colt. We have three dilute

foals due this season by Sarowan Park Spell-bound, out of Imperial Felicity (Sec B) and two

Part Welsh mares. Another new addition is Sh-elomith Little Ray of Sunshine (Sec A filly) who

just took my heart. Thank you Dean Quinlivan

for the opportunity to buy this little sweetheart.

Bayleaf – We have had another great time at the

Welsh Nationals with our three year old filly Im-perial Nelly once again being very successful,

placing highly in all her classes with lots of com-

petition -something we don’t get in Tassie! At

the Autumn Show on the second day it was a

great thrill that she was awarded Champion Rid-

den Welsh A under UK judge Lorraine Partridge

against a large number of very successful ponies.

While on our trip we had a lovely time visiting

three studs with beautiful ponies and properties

(Imperial, Indi & Flowerdale Studs) and ended

up with two new ponies - Imperial Nina a ma-

ternal sister to Nelly and Nevada, and also a

lovely little foal. We can’t wait for them to ar-

rive! It is just about weaning time here we look

forward to all the handling of the babies!

30 Action Winter 2012

EVERYONE has been busy weaning and

preparing foals for the foal shows in the last

couple of months. Our own foal show will have

been run and won by the time you read this.

Don’t forget to mark July 8th, 2012 in your cal-

endar for our Annual Meeting, which is being

held at The Royal Mail Hotel in Sebastapol.

Come along and support your group!

ALPHA STUD: I’ve sold some more geldings,

one as a saddle pony the other as a future harness

pony, I wish their new owners lots of enjoyment

and fun from their new purchases. Jill Hors-

burgh emailed me with news that she took AlphaRaven to her first show where she took out the

Champion Welsh A. Jill said she behaved beau-

tifully until someone started a chainsaw on the

side line and then she wouldn't stand up in the

lineup, poor girl.

ARIELEN STUD reports two new purchases to

boost their ageing band of broodmares. Dalgan-gle Fantasy and Dalgangle Fanfare are both by

Arielen Strauss and will be joined to DalgangleLimelight next season. We have five foals this

year – a Section C colt by Synod Aristocrat (ImpUK), a filly and colt by Dalgangle Griffin (Sec

A) and two Sec A fillies by Limelight. Our last

foal for the season is a delightful little filly that

didn’t arrive until March so unfortunately it will

be a while before she gets to see a show ring.

BALLYNAMONA: We have foals due this sea-

son by resident stallions Ballynamona Realityand Tooravale Cadenza. Two gorgeous ponies

have moved on to new homes and we wish their

happy owners every success with them. Bally-namona Jaslyn (Mithril Van Dieman x RichdaleJacobean) has gone to a Victorian family to be

started under saddle for a performance career.

Ballynamona Pepper (Ballynamona Reality xGlenire Pandora) is off to Queensland to com-

mence a saddle career. On the show front two

ponies continue to fly our Stud's flag with great

success. Ballynamona Jonquil (Tooravale Ca-denza x Richdale Jaobean) was awarded

Supreme Palomino Exhibit at the 2012 Dande-

nong Agricultural Show for the second consec-

utive year and what a lovely way to end her

outstanding in-hand career. Ballynamona Aalam(Tooravale Cadenza x Bamborough Andrea), ayoung newcomer saddle pony has thrilled his

owner by winning both Champion Ridden Buck-

skin and Reserve Champion Ridden Welsh at the

2012 Berwick Agricultural Show.

DYARAH: Charlotte has been having a good

start to the winter by competing on ElargeePreacherman placing third and fifth in their tests

at the Australian Pony Owners and Breeders

Dressage Day in April. Competing in the Games

interschool events and placing fifth overall in her

section, she had a fun day. We have a few more

interschools and fun days coming before she is

hoping to compete in her first ridden events. Our

foals are weaned and we are hoping to take them

out and about at some shows over the next few

months.

HARRIANA FOREST has been busy re-arrang-

ing ponies, I had two Welsh bred fillies this sea-

son. Alpha Promise has been leased to Penbayr

Stud as a broodmare and the weanling Part

Welsh filly Harriana Forest Wild Rose has been

sold to Dawn Stud in South Australia. I’d like

to wish ponies and new owners all the best. I

have three foals due this year, two Welsh and one

Part Welsh pinto.

SALIENT PARK: All of the foals have arrived

and most now are weaned. Burrowa LadylightExpress had a lovely upstanding bay Sect D colt,

Crosswynds Highlight gave us a black Sect D

colt who has been sold on for harness and Cross-wynds Eclipse a late bay Sect D colt all by Harri.Salient Park Dirty Harri has been sold to a won-

derful show/dressage home. He is a big part of

our family so we look forward to seeing this boy

out and about and we wish Tammy the best of

fun with him. We introduce Burrowa Betrys (by

Cwmkaren Bigley Express) to Salient Park, a big

two year old bay Cob filly and we thank Sue and

Ace for allowing this lovely Annan Glenysdaughter to come on lease for a few years. Also,

we have purchased the lovely Cob mare

Cwmkaren Springtime who is by HendrewenAba Express (Imp UK). We now have a lovely

band of Cob mares and thank the people who

have allowed us to aquire such great lines and

such lovely ponies. A well deserved rest for the

show ponies now and we look forward to next

show season.

SALIENT STUD: Babies have arrived safe and

sound and we are in the busy process of wean-

ing. Most of our babies this season were by

Sketty Park Chicago - five fillies (four Sect A

and one Sect B) and one colt. We also had a grey

colt Sect A by Weston Platinum and Salient BlueDanube produced an outstanding chestnut C colt

by Salient Park Dirty Harri. Salient FashionStatement (black Sect A weanling filly) has left

for her new home and we wish Maren and Troy

the best of luck with her and look forward to see-

ing her again at the foal show. We have also sold

Salient Superstar (weanling Sect A colt) as a fu-

ture lead rein pony. I’m sure they will have fun

with this forward pretty man.

WESTBURY STUD reports a bumper crop of

12 foals. The nine Section A foals are by the the

stallions Westbury Hercules, Westbury Bon-giorno and Dalgangle Motown. The stand out

colt is Mr Bedazzle and he has been purchased

by Janet Exell to replace Westbury The Wizardwho died in tragic circumstances 18 months ago.

Other foals of note are a black Sect C filly by

Synod Aristocrat (Imp UK) from Westbury Sybiland a black Sect D filly by stud stallion BurrowaChallenger from Pen-nant Welsh Holy.

The Damsma family in Gippsland have pur-

chased three more Sect C mares to compliment

Westbury Skeeta who they had bought three

years earlier. The ultimate plan is to compete

with a team of four in combined driving events.

Skeeta driven by Rhiannan Damsma won the

Novice Pony class at the Victorian CDE Cham-

pionship run at Easter this year. While Rhiannan

was winning this event with Skeeta, the Wiltshire

Family were at Stawell watching their nephew

Matthew Wiltshire win the Stawell Gift.

Stephen is now trying to get Matthew interested

in running out Cobs!

MITHRIL: The young Cob stallion WestburySpitfire, full brother to Westbury Skeeta men-

tioned above, competed at the APOB Dressage

Championships on Easter Saturday. Owned by

Paul and Raz and ridden by Kristy Sparkes,

‘Rex’ won both his Novice tests, to be Novice

Champion, a very pleasing result as he has only

recently begun competing at this level. Proving

that dressage is for all ages was the youngest

member of the Milvain Clan, three year old

Christopher, who thoroughly enjoyed his outing

in the ‘Preparatory - under 8, to be led’ test riding

Salient Chantilly, one of those wonderful Sec-

tion A mares who really looks after her tiny

jockey. Mithril Keepsake, recently returned to

work after weaning her first foal, also competed

on the day, with a pleasing score of 64.8 in Pre-

liminary. She has recently been sold to new

members Kelly and Cassie Wilsmere, to be

Cassie’s Pony Club mount.

NARCISSUS STUD: Our little four year old

Glenview Silver Farthing (pictured below) had a

great Royal gaining Reserve Champion Led Welsh

Gelding, helping his handler to Reserve Champion

Open Handler under 18 and in the Pony Club ring

he was Reserve Champion Led Pony Club Com-

bination and Champion Ridden Pony Club Mount

of Show. Rider is Maddeline Ayres.

34 Action Winter 2012

WE HAVE A VERY BUSY YEAR ahead,

and although we are a small group, every-

one is full of enthusiasm and keen to do what

they can to promote the Welsh breeds. Our Foal

Show was held on Sunday 29th April, 2012 at

Oakwood and we look forward to providing you

with some results next issue of Action.

We plan to run a ‘Video Night’ at Oakwood

Equestrian Centre on Saturday 25th August,

2012, starting at 7pm and finishing 10pm. The

address is corner of Thompson's Road and

Smith's Lane, Clyde North. Well known stud

breeder and personality, Darrell Owen will be

hosting the night, and will show us many pony

related treasures, which will include a video on

the great Coed Coch Sale. Tickets are $10 per

person, which includes a light supper, and for

catering purposes we would like people to pre-

book. Don’t miss this great night!

We are looking to run our Bi-Annual Open

Stud Weekend on 1st & 2nd December, 2012.

This is a great opportunity for studs to promote

and show off their progeny, and we hope many

studs will participate. More details will be pub-

lished next issue.

The 2013 Diary is currently underway, so if you

are interested in advertising in this diary contact

Angela Holland 0417 561 265.

It is our year to run the Welsh Feature Show,

but due to availability of the ground and not

wanting to clash with other shows, we have had

to push it out to the beginning of next year. We

proudly announce that this Welsh Feature Show

will be held on Sunday 13th January, 2013, at

Akoonah Park Showgrounds, Berwick. Plans

are underway and will be published in forthcom-

ing editions of Action.

Our meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of the

month at Costello’s in Pakenham. Dinner is at

7pm, meeting commences at 8pm. Everyone is

welcome, and it is a great way to catch up over

dinner before we commence our meeting.

HOLLYFORD PARK: We have four gorgeous

colts on the ground this season, three of which

are the last of our View Bank Boston progeny. We

had our first Part Welsh born by our young Welsh

B stallion Karanga Sea Eagle. This coming sea-

son we have several foals due by Karanga SeaEagle and we are hoping for the first crop of

foals by Woranora Phoenix. Several of our foals

have found new homes and are doing very well

for their new owners. Angela Holland.KEIRA PARK STUD: What an exciting, suc-

cessful and enjoyable stud / show season we

have had this year. In short Keira Park Cascadeour beautiful home produced Part Welsh, Riding

Pony, Arabian Riding Pony palomino stallion has

come home with seven Supreme Ridden Ex-

hibits, two Runner-up Supremes and five

Supreme Led Exhibits all from his breed classes

at shows which include SEAHAC, NPOTY

show in Sydney and National Welsh Show in

Tatura. All of these awards from just seven

shows... as anyone could understand we are more

than thrilled with our 'Snowy', and what's more

he is a producer of exceptional stock which in-

clude Thorwood Ice Maiden multi Supreme

champion at Barastoc and Reserve Champion

National yearling AR Pony, Rokewood BravadoMulti Supreme and Supreme overall at his first

season to see more of his beautiful stock. There

were four foals born this season to the stud,

Keira Park Midnight Angel had a Buckskin Colt

by Keira Park Cascade, congratulations to his

new owner Ally Chase and good luck with him

in the foals shows, commencing his halter train-

ing with Jayne Bellchambers in May. KeiraPark Amber Brown a filly by Royalwood Boy So-prano, congratulations to her new owner Joan

Bell from Belrose Park, she is also heading to

teed colour. After our successful POTYS we

have had many enquiries for 'Snow', so we keep

watching Sydney. A few more details need to be

finalised, so will keep you posted. I would like

to take this opportunity to thank the many people

who helped with the brilliant show season we

had, Melissa Taaffe, Harald Hartelt, Michael

Christie, Maia Murray, Cameron Wood, Cherie

Spinks and Chanelle Hunter. On another subject,

we would like to thank Mel Marin for leasing us

the beautiful Stanton Park Soda Pop, Buckskin,

Part Welsh and other registrations. Soda has

been there, done that, with two families, the last

being in Queensland, but after a two year hiatus,

is with us. My daughter Megan is eight years old

and not had a show pony before, she is having

heaps of fun with her having done two shows

and always coming home with sashes. She is not

riding her in shows yet but we plan on doing

some Junior Dressage riding with her and start-

ing the new show season with a bit more knowl-

edge of riding.

Have a great break everyone and looking for-

ward to seeing foals at foals shows. Liz CarlileElizabeth Batcheldor

YARRA VALLEY MEMBERS have been

busy planning our up and coming events;

including our Foal Show to be held Sunday May

6th at Glen Brae Equestrian Centre. We were

lucky enough to secure Society Patron, Joan

McKinlay and Young Ambassador, Michael

Gates as judges for this event.

Our Equine Trash & Treasure event hopes to be

a good, fun day. There are still stalls available.

Phone 0418 571 976 for bookings & details.

We hope to run our Winter Working Hunter

Clinic on September 23.

2011 WELSH FEATURE SHOW - November

2011. We had moved the venue back to the Lily-

dale and Yarra Glen Hunt Club grounds so we

could incorporate the Southern Pony Classic

with the Feature Show. The Southern Pony

Classic has been held at Wandin Park for a num-

ber of years, but we were obliged to move ven-

ues due to the extreme wet conditions in the area

over the previous few months. All setting up

was done on the Saturday night with helpers

working through the torrential rain in order to

get the job done. We all got saturated but had a

great time.

The weather turned out to be fine on the Sunday

morning and we were hoping for a warm, sunny

day. I knew it was going to be an eventful day

when suddenly hot air balloons appeared over

the hill beside the grounds, passing over the

pavilion, just clearing a couple of trees and mov-

ing over to the area where the ponies and floats

were situated, some of who had arrived early to

get their prime parking positions. There were

six balloons in total with gas roaring away. A

couple of ponies did break free from their floats

but we were able to contain them quickly and

safely. All the balloons landed in the paddock

adjacent to the Hunt Club. This all happened

prior to the show starting.

Unfortunately, the venue had been double

booked with the Pony Club on the same week-

end, but our show went ahead. Just a few chal-

lenges arose, but we were able to work together

and neither group lost in the end.

Thanks to all the judges and stewards who

worked tirelessly throughout the day. It was

great to see the rain staying away.

We must give a big thank you to Sandy Ander-

son of Thistledown Stud, UK. He was a real

gentleman to deal with and enjoyed judging at

our Yarra Valley Show. He did not even ask for

reimbursement for airfare or travel. For this we

are most appreciative.

The major Medal Winners were Glenview SilverFarthing (Section A) – Supreme Ridden Exhibit

owned by Donna Ayres and Tooravale Heiress(Section B) - Supreme Led Exhibit owned by

Wendy Trimble.

We had exhibitors from other RPG areas, which

was good to see. Numbers were down in the

open rings and even the Welsh classes were low,

which is disappointing. Please keep in mind that

a lot of effort goes into arranging these events

and support is needed to keep them running.

Overall we did really well.

The grounds are well suited to the show, but like

most show committees, we would love to have

a venue in our area set aside for all equestrian

pursuits. Only a few groups are blessed with

such venues. Our local shows are losing use of

sporting ovals for horse events; councils are giv-

ing priority to sporting clubs rather than agricul-

tural shows.

Our Annual Foal Show is well under way and

judges have been selected well in advance. This

will be held as usual, at Glenbrae Equestrian

Centre, May 6th 2012. Some other events the

group is organising include the Hunter Clinic,

for the third year running. This is an enjoyable

event to be involved in without the pressures of

a show or competition. We will also be running

a big fund raiser this year – the Yarra Valley RPG

Annual Equine Gear Sale. We are looking at

holding it in June 2012 and further information

will be available on the WPCS and other web

sites. Details on all functions can be obtained

by contacting any member of the Yarra Valley

RPG.

Darryl King ChairpersonRPG NEWS

Darryl King at Kingsmere has recently acquired

a Section D Mare, Manhattan Glen Diamantina,

kindly offered through the Howe Family of

Nawarrah Park Stud. She will be used for pleas-

ure riding. I have been keen to get back into rid-

ing after a number of years off. This will be

quite a change for me after showing Section As

and Bs, never having been involved with cobs at

all. Slowly but surely cobs grow on you. They

really are a ‘people pony’ loving attention and

involvement. I kept a couple of jumps from our

Hunter Clinic and have been jumping again,

only keeping to the lower heights, but thor-

oughly enjoying it.

Foal Show with her first homebred filly, Sedg-wick Park Cheerymoon, winning and going Re-

serve Champion Welsh Foal and she is looking

forward to next show season!

38 Action Winter 2012

RPG RoundupWestern Australia

THE WA RPG Committee has been particu-

larly busy this season organising an action-

packed calendar of events and activities for the

upcoming months. First on the list is the oppor-

tunity to secure extremely affordable advertising

for your stud, business or service in the much an-

ticipated 2013 Diary. The inaugural 2012 Diary

sold out within a week, and we have it on good

authority that they’re being put to excellent use

in our member’s bags, stables and offices.

Speaking of diaries, make sure you pull out

yours and mark up our upcoming event dates.

The Annual Meeting will be held on 15th July,

hopefully at Foxwood Equestrian Centre.

Then, on 12 August, the 2012 Welsh and Part

Welsh Newcomer Award will be hotly contested

at the Pinjarra Equestrian Association Grounds.

This event is a lovely way to start campaigning

your ridden ponies and cobs and winners are

generously rewarded with an embroidered rug,

sash and rosette. Entries close on 1st July so

don’t miss out on the chance to celebrate your

horse’s first year of competition.

This year’s Perth Royal Show will be held 29

September to 6 October and will see an increase

in the Part Welsh classes offered. While judges

are still to be announced, this is a Society Medal

Award Show for Welshies, so we expect it to be

a competitive and well represented competition.

It’s always a great lead-up outing to the WA All

Welsh, which will be running for the 30th con-

secutive year this November 10 and 11. This

special anniversary show will be an event to be

remembered and the committee are currently re-

formatting the program to best accommodate the

Part Welsh exhibits that also like to compete at

the concurrently run Arabian State show.

Looking back over the Autumn months, the

Welsh Youngstock and Foal Show held on 11th

March at Orange Grove Horse and Pony Club

was a scorching hot event – quite literally! Yet

despite the soaring temperatures, the early start

and refreshing cool breeze kept the day manage-

able, with some competitors making the most of

their outing with a trip to the beach or the river

for a cool off before heading home.

Visiting UK judge Helen Williams presided over

the Welsh and Part Welsh exhibits, with numbers

in the latter dwindling as the heat increased. De-

spite the smaller classes, Miss Williams com-

mented that the quality of all exhibits was very

high. She found her Supreme Champion Welsh

Foal in the five month old Kings Town Harrison(Harrowclough Talisman x Trapalanda DownsFrancesca), an eye-catching bay cob who will

be one to watch in the future. The Runner Up

Supreme Champion Welsh Foal went to the very

sweet Welsh Mountain Pony Glen Avon Pytha-garus (Glen Avon Pyeman x Dalgangle DaintyLady).The Supreme Champion Part Welsh Foal was

awarded to Caris and Brittany Reside’s adorable

chestnut colt Leeara Park Royal Mink (Royaland Regal of Sefton x Tanglewood Park Sere-nade in Gold) with the filly Brayside EnchantedVision (Fairlight Acres Riverdance x BevanleeVision) a worthy runner up.

Moving onto the ‘slightly older campaigners’ the

three year old filly Glen Avon Snowdream (GlenAvon Pyeman x Arielen Snowdrift) was sashed

Supreme Champion Welsh Mountain Pony for

owner Hazel Filear.

The superb chestnut roan Tooravale Charisma(Weston Manhattan x Weston Park Cassandra)continues to impress and was awarded Supreme

Champion Welsh Pony, later topping off another

successful outing with the title of Best Welsh

Youngstock In Hand and winning the WPCSA

Medal.

With his very first foals due this season the

young colt Mariana Lodge Aloysius (CataraquiHasufel x Acheron Alis) was judged Supreme

Champion Welsh Pony of Cob Type.

Jodie McKenzie’s lovely filly Rowen Madonna(Gwynfaes Madoc (Imp UK) x Pen-nant Rain-dancer) was named Supreme Champion WelshCob and will be retained as a showing and breed-ing prospect for Rowen Stud.

The Best Youngstock Welsh Gelding and RunnerUp Best Welsh Youngstock In Hand was Impe-rial Breakout (Imperial Lookout x Imperial Bo-Peep) a handsome pony of Section A breeding.

The morning’s competition concluded withSupreme Champion Part Welsh being awardedto the pretty filly Bellevale Designed By(Roseden Beyond Expectations x Pennyroyal ByDesign). Runner Up Supreme Champion PartWelsh was the brown gelding Jejucha Tribute(Woranora Trademark x Kinlieth Prima Donna).The WA committee would like to extend a sin-cere thank you to all our exhibitors, our generoussponsors and our willing volunteers, especiallyLauren McGregor who stewarded good na-turedly in the heat.

Exhibitors weren’t the only winners at theYoungstock and Foal Show. The event also sawthe draw for the amazing Xplorer Float whichhad been raffled off to 200 eager punters. Glis-tening in the sun and wrapped in a huge bow, thedeluxe two- horse straight load float was won bythe very lucky Larissa Curtis of Albany. Our ut-most appreciation goes to All West Trading, whohelped the committee secure the float at costprice as a fundraising exercise. We look forwardto channelling the money raised into our upcom-ing events and promotional opportunities.

40 Action Winter 2012

WHAT A BUSY START to 2012! I beganmy year by attending and presenting at

the Queensland Youth Fun Day, hosted by theQld RPG in February. The day was designedwith a focus of getting young members involvedand engaged in an environment away from theshow ring. Although initially I was quiteapprehensive about presenting to a large crowd,once I started the words seemed to flow. Mypresentations covered various subjects such asjunior handlers, leading rein/first ridden andshow presentation. The day attracted over 30new and existing members and was a great wayto meet more members in Qld. I thoroughlyenjoyed the day and feel these types of activitiesare extremely important for encouraging thefuture members of the Society.

March saw me compete with success at theWelsh National Show in Victoria. I would liketo congratulate all the competitors that wereinvolved in the Young Judges competition. It isgreat to see the future of judging in such goodhands. I also hosted a Film Night, with the aimof highlighting and promoting our wonderfulbreed, in a relaxed social setting. The night wasa success with many people attending andcommenting throughout the the weekend howenjoyable it was. The film night was also anopportunity to raise some funds for the YoungPeoples Group (YPG).

Next stop was the Qld All Welsh, where Iassisted with various activities at the showincluding judging. Having competed at theshow several years ago, it was nice to be backin Qld and see some of my points raised at thefun day in action by the junior handlers. Manythanks to the organisers who assisted with travelplans and making me feel very welcome.

It was a great privilege to be involved in therecent Young Ambassador interviews held inMelbourne in April. The quality of candidatesthat applied were of an extremely high calibreand I look forward to working with new YoungAmbassador to continue the initiatives putforward during my year, and also assist withtheir own.

I recently had a great weekend in Yarra Valleyjudging at the Yarra Valley RPG Foal Show withthe Society’s Patron Joan McKinlay. Havingtraveled with Joan to some of the All WelshShows at the end of 2011, it was a nice catch upand chat with her about the launch of the HistoryBook and listen to her thoughts about the futureof the Society.

The Sunday of the AGM weekend will be a greatopportunity for the young members of the Societyto get involved and participate in the open forumon the future of the Society and I encourage thosethinking of attending to come along.

SINCE BEING GIVEN the honour of becom-ing the fourth Patron of the Welsh Pony and

Cob Society of Australia, I have attended manyWelsh run shows Interstate and Victoria and willcontinue to be present at many more in the future.

My first trip was to the New South Wales AllWelsh Show held in October 2011. Organised byChairperson Helen Dohan and her capable com-mittee, this three day event with overseas judgesRosemary Philipson-Stow ‘Pendock Stud’, SandyAnderson ‘Bryndefaid Stud’ UK, and 12 localjudges from Queensland, Victoria and New SouthWales was an enjoyable event. It was also greatto see long time friends from our days on Com-mittee of Management, Jannys McDonald and hersister Mary Nadin, also friends Peter Taubman,Marge Brown, President Jan Buttfield from West-ern Australia and many members who I had nevermet before.

My next trip was to South Australia All Welsh inNovember 2011. My hosts were KathrynMitchell, husband John and son Sebastion. Whata wonderful time I had and I thank them most sin-cerely. It was the 30th Anniversary of the Showand the celebrations included a specially iced cakewhich I was asked to cut. I spoke to many Victo-rian members who came over to compete. OurAmbassador Michael Gates was very busy overthe week-end judging the junior judges and stew-arding for the two days for overseas judges SandyAnderson of Thistledown Stud and Gwyn andNicola Jones from Fronarth Stud UK. I helpedwith the Fancy Dress judging, as there were over20 excellent entries. Young Ambassador in 2010Aengus Wright also attended the show stewardingon both days.

The Victorian All Welsh ran over three days inearly December at Tatura. I have always enjoyedthis show which I have attended since its begin-ning in 1977. Chairperson Wesley Gardiner andhis committee make a tremendous effort to havethis show run so smoothly. Many members fromNew South Wales and South Australia make thelong trip to exhibit and Tasmanian members put

their trucks or floats with ponies aboard on theferry and cross the water to Melbourne, then driveto Tatura. What an exhausting trip. It is a very so-cial time with the caravan city established aroundthe arena.

An invitation from Yarra Valley Regional Promo-tion Group to their Christmas meeting and dinnerprovided an opportunity to catch up with thegroup: I also had a sleep-over with friend Maryde Crespigny after the meeting.

In March the Welsh National Show week-end washeld at Tatura. Overseas judges were LorrainePartridge ‘Rosedale Stud’ UK and Joanne Harper‘Ravara Stud’ Belfast Northern Ireland. It was en-couraging to see our Ambassadors involved again.On Friday evening Michael Gates held a filmnight at the grounds. Aengus Wright organsied adressage to music in the indoor arena on Sundayevening followed by dressage competition onMonday outdoors. Congratulations to you bothfor being such dedicated young people.

The following week-end I was invited to attendthe Queensland All Welsh Show at Gatton Show-grounds, held over three days with more than 100exhibitors competing. It was a great sight to seeso many ponies come forward under overseasjudges Helen Williams and Peter Rutherford‘Seiont Stud’ Wales and the huge entries in thechildrens events on Sunday was astounding.There were eight judges from Victoria, NewSouth Wales and Queensland assisting with thesuccess of this All Welsh Show. The hospitality Ireceived from President John Riley, Secretary SueGroundwater and their committee was much ap-preciated.

I attended the North East and Border RegionalPromotion Group Foal Show in May 2012, andlook forward to my trips to Western Australia andTasmania All Welsh Shows later in the year. Ihope to meet many more members involved in avoluntary capacity, working for the continued suc-cess of our wonderful Society.

THIS YEAR Dressage with the Stars held from 22nd to 25th March at

Werribee Park National Equestrian Centre hosted a CDI-Y World cup

Qualifier. The CDI-Y is a FEI Young Rider competition open to riders 16

to 21 years old. This was the first of three qualifying events to be held in

Australia this year. The winner will represent Australia at the Young Rider

World Cup in December. Nine combinations were entered but following

the Vet check and Trot up only five started, testament to the effort required

to even get to compete.

The competition has two phases. First there is a set test, and combinations

who attain a score of at least 58% get to compete in the second phase which

is a Freestyle (an individually designed test set to music)

Fern Wright and her Welsh Cob Kamber Pryderi were placed third in the

FEI Young Rider Individual Competition with a score of 62.017% and

fourth in the FEI Young Rider Freestyle with 60.583%, to be placed third

overall. Those Welsh members who stayed to watch the Freestyle compe-

tition at the WP&CS’s Dressage Competition on 11th March would have

seen a demonstration of this Freestyle.

There were a number of Welsh bred and registered ponies competing in

the Young Pony classes - Glenire D’Atagnan, Wyann Kit Kat and PenmainCounty Squire in the Four Year Old Material class, Part Welsh PenmainPosh in the Five Year Old and in the Six Year Old, Wendy Higgins Section

Australian Pony Owners & Breeders Open Pony Dressage Championships

RUN FOR THE TENTH successive year at

Werribee Park National Equestrian Centre,

this great competition is organised by a small

committee headed by Chris and Gary Hartigan.

It is open to all ponies, registered or not, and

caters for a wide range of levels and abilities,

from Pony Club 5A, rider under eight years to

be led, through to Advanced. Because the Preli-

inary competition is very well supported, there

are three divisions according to the age of the

rider. The Welsh Pony and Cob Society spon-

sors the very junior riders, who all receive a

‘show bag’. The ‘Rider Under 8’ tests are a de-

light to watch; there are some riders now com-

peting in Official competitions who had their

first dressage start in the Preparatory section of

this competition.

Welsh Ponies and Cobs are very well repre-

sented at the competition and won the majority

of the championships on offer. Champion Ad-

vanced / Medium went to Kerrie Bilson’s Part

Welsh Malibu Park Moondust, Elementary

Champion was Natasha French’s C gelding Scot-sonfold Rum Tyme, Champion Novice was won

by Paul and Raelene Milvain’s young Section D

stallion Westbury Spitfire ridden by Kristy

Sparkes, Champion Preliminary, Rider 12 years

& under went to Isabelle Luxmore’s A gelding

Rivington Sampson, Champion Senior Prelimi-

nary was Jan Langley’s Part Welsh / Riding Pony

Langtree Opium, ridden by Suanne Vale and the

Preparatory Champion was Abbey Mamers’ Sec-

tion A gelding Wyann Sonic.

THE INAUGURAL Far North Queensland

Members Day was a great success. It was

attended by over 65 people, with about 20 ponies

brought along, most who took part in both the

led and ridden events. There were some lovely

ponies present, with excellent examples from

sections A, B, C and Part Welsh. It was well sup-

ported by the very enthusiastic and appreciative

local members, but with plenty of other people

who were just interested in Welshies attending

too.

Our international Welsh judges, Helen Williams

and Peter Rutherford, were generous with their

time and expertise. They impressed the crowd

with their knowledge and willingness to give ad-

vice freely, and appeared to greatly enjoy their

stay in Cairns and the opportunity to meet the lo-

cals.

They explained the types and standards of excel-

lence of each Welsh breed, discussed preparation

for the show ring and ran demonstration classes

on showing in-hand and under saddle, with lead-

rein, first ridden and open classes all displayed.

During the day we were also visited by the

Olympian, Christine Doan, who spoke to many

of the attendees and highlighted the qualities of

the Welsh breeds as performance animals.

Another highlight was the presentation of the

Queensland Welsh Pony Club Awards, with Ku-

randa locals Jamie Hewitt-Toms (1st in the pure-

bred section) on her Section C pony Gypsy ViewPeter Pan and Olivia Hewitt-Toms (2nd in the

Part Welsh section) on her pony Lakevale SilverLodge.Due to the deluge in Cairns early in the week the

venue was changed to the Tepon Equestrian Cen-

tre, which turned out to be a great venue for the

event, just outside Herberton on the Atherton

Tablelands.

Those of us from ‘south’ who attended, Geoff

Trim, Catherine Wise and myself also had a great

weekend. It was a pleasure to meet the local

members. I would like to thank them all for their

generosity in organising and supporting the

event, particularly Noeline Ikin and Lyn McDon-

ald, who were instrumental to its success.

THE INAUGURAL Welsh Pony and Cob So-

ciety of Australia Inc Open Dressage Cham-

pionships held at Tatura Park on the 11th and 12th

March 2012 started promptly at 5pm on the Sun-

day evening with the Advanced Freestyle fol-

lowed by the Elementary and Novice freestyles.

The three competitions where judged by Ben

Terry and Shannon McKimmie. Over the

evening proceedings there were a considerable

variety of musical styles, certainly enough vari-

ety to entertain the considerable crowd.

Fern Wright on Welsh Section D Kamber Pry-deri won the Advanced, Melanie Clark on the

Part Welsh Riding Pony mare Willowcroft SongBird won the Elementary and Madeline Leeden

on the Part Welsh gelding Balena Roy won the

Novice. The spectators and competitors all

seemed to enjoy themselves and many com-

mented on it being a fantastic spectacle, even

those with no previous experience in Dressage.

On the Monday, events kicked off bright and

early at eight o’clock, with the Advanced 5A in-

doors, and Preliminary 1A and 1C outside on the

grass where the North East and Border’s Autumn

show had been held the day before.

The 1A test was the biggest of the day, with 32

starters. Kristion Leslie-Fellon and Section B

gelding Cherrington Strauss eventuälly won the

monster class, finishing with 77%, a percent

ahead of second placed Madeline Leeden with

Balena Roy. Kristion also won the rosettes for

highest placed Junior and Highest placed Welsh

for the section. Twenty-eight competitors started

in the 1C, where Dianne Proctor riding her Part

Welsh stallion Willowcroft First Glance won,

ahead of Leisha Salter and Section D DracmoorFirestorm. Madeline Leeden, with a third in this

competition to go with second in the 1A, was the

champion Preliminary, with Dianne Proctor fin-

ishing in Reserve.

Fern Wright with Kamber Pryderi was unfortu-

nately the only entrant in the Advanced level, but

performed well, and went home with the Cham-

pion rosette. It was a long weekend for the pair

who had done two freestyles the night before as

well as two full days of showing before that.

The Elementary 3A and 3C had three entries in

each. Marni Hicks with the Part Welsh gelding

Kirreway Xalted won the 3A competition, only

to trade with Andrea Taylor with Section C geld-

ing Nawarrah Park Pop Rock for the second

test. This meant that the championship had to

be done on a count-back to the highest percent-

age across the two tests, which Marni Hicks nar-

rowly won.

The Novice 2A and 2C were both won by

Allysse Smith on Maytime Riverdance, easily se-

curing champion. Madeline Leeden and BalenaRoy came close second in the 2A, almost five

percent ahead of third place, but didn’t take part

in the 2C, leaving Sarah Herring on Bronte ParkJasmine, who placed fourth and third in the re-

spective tests, to win the Reserve.

The Preparatory Tests, held after lunch, brought

a mixture of younger children and tentative

adults, the latter of which through Megan Howe

on Nawarrah Park Dollywood, and Liz Stocker

on Goldmine Silver Dynasty, won the Prepara-

tory 1 and 2 tests respectively, but the latter was

only on a count-back from Kristion Leslie-Fel-

lon on Cherrington Mikhardo who was tied on

70 percent. Kristion with a fifth in the Prep 1 as

well finished up Reserve Champion, while Amie

Hourigan on Boo T Licious, with her third in the

Prep 2 and second in the Prep 1 was the eventual

champion of the Preparatory section. We will

run preparatory tests again in 2013, these are a

nice easy starter for anyone new to dressage,

rider and / or horse; remember you can have

your test called for you too.

Thus the day wound to a close, and despite being

a good day, many of the people who had been

there for the full weekend were nonetheless

happy to be going home. It was good to see a

healthy field of Welsh and Part Welsh Ponies and

Cobs competing in amongst the open entries,

and doing well. As the event coordinator, it was

a fun competition to run despite some problems.

I would like to thank the Judges for the day,

Brian Schrapel, Sue Terry, Ben Terry and Shan-

non McKimmie and the pencillers, as well as the

riders and everyone else who helped out on the

day and before. Thanks too, to the generous

sponsors, including Karen Parrish who runs the

‘Premier Performance Ponies’ website, which

sponsored the Freestyle and to Linden Stud and

the NE & Border RPG..

With any luck we’ll see you all again next year.

THE 2012 NATIVE Pony Championships

were held again along side the Welsh Na-

tional Show. This year we kicked off with a last

chance qualifier early in the morning, which

worked well for those that had not had a chance

to previously qualify in their region, with first

and second placegetters being eligible to com-

pete at the semi finals in the afternoon. Some of

the strongest competition for the semi finals

came from the last chance qualifier, with the

winners from the morning featuring highly in the

afternoon. Our judges for these qualifiers were

Dawn Elliot from New Zealand and Carmen

Harrison.

The semi finals started in the afternoon, although

the best planned timetabling quickly came un-

done when the Welsh National Show ran behind.

Order was eventually restored when we worked

in with the other rings to ensure that all entries

were able to compete. Fortunately as the classes

are judged on a point system for both the ridden

and in hand phase, which allowed ponies that

were also entered for classes in other rings to

present to our judges Anthony and Suellen

Deane outside the original running order. It did

delay the presentation of each class until the end,

but I’m sure all exhibitors appreciated that it al-

lowed everyone to compete.

We had strong entries in some of the classes, it

was great to see the growth in the Welsh C and

D classes. Although we are still keen to see a lot

more of the native breeds taking part, the num-

bers in our New Forest and Australian Pony

classes were encouraging. All first places from

the semi finals were then eligible for the Cham-

pionship in the evening, when the stallions com-

pete separately from the mares and geldings.

With dimming daylight our judges Kathryn

Mitchell and Luke Dawes did an excellent job

getting the finals underway at the completion of

the major awards for the Welsh National Show.

The finals of the Native Pony Championships

started with the Stallion Classes with the overall

winner being Joanne Stubbs’s Penryn SilverSpruce (Imperial Spruce x Penryn Fickle Lass).This was followed by the Mares and Geldings

which was won by Alex Bethel’s CherringtonOctavia (Kirreway Play-Fair x Congarinni Ho-nysuckle). Excellent Prize money is offered for the winners

and major placings in both classes, then based

on points, a best of breed rug is presented, simi-

lar to the way the UK’s Mountain and Moorland

Championship at the Horse of the Year Show is

run.

Our overall Placing in the final for best of breeds

were – Alex Bethel’s Cherrington Octavia(Welsh B), Abbot Wright Family’s Kamber Pry-deri (Burrowa Sportsman’s Last x Imperial-Martha) (Welsh Cob), Donna Ayres’ GlenviewSilver Farthing (Arielen Kingfisher x GlenviewFlorin) (Welsh A), Howe Family’s GulwarraPark Jeronimo (Fenwick Make My Day xShanusti Kali Rose) (Shetland), Maureen Scott’s

Bookra Sovereign Edition (Wingana Welsh Flyerx Barnon Graceful Edition (Welsh C), P

Prosser’s Aylestone Park Apple Blossom (Apple-witch Pure Magic (UK) x Annecy Park Chatelle)(New Forest) and Bimbadeen Brigadier (Durdi-warrah Prince x Bimbadeen Suzanne (Aus-

tralian).

We would like to thank our sponsors & Sue Mc

Nutt who looks after the office on the Champi-

48 Action Winter 2012

THE 2012 QUEENSLAND All Welsh Show

was held at the Gatton Showgrounds Indoor

Arena, beginning on the evening of Friday 16th

March and concluding in the afternoon of Sun-

day 18th. Numbers of entries were up again this

year with 234 exhibits entered by 103 ex-

hibitors. A sunny Friday gave way to rain on

Saturday, but by Sunday it was fine again.

This year we had two UK judges attending, with

Helen Williams and Peter Rutherford from the

Seiont Stud, Wales, plus Melanie McGuire-

Muller from Ascot Stud, Victoria, and Christine

Gray from Elargee Stud, Victoria. Our special

guests included Society Patron Joan McKinlay,

Committee of Management Chairman Michele

Baker and Society President Jan Buttfield ac-

companied by partner Rob, President Elect John

While and Society Young Ambassador Michael

Gates, all of whom assisted the committee

throughout the show in various ways with judg-

ing, stewarding and presentation duties.

An impressive lineup of ponies was presented

for the judging of the prestigious title of Best

Welsh In Hand, with the recipient receiving the

Society Medal. The honour this year was

awarded to John and Carole Riley’s lovely bay

Cob mare, Cwmkaren Branwen. Contesting the

Best Welsh In Hand award were the Section

Supreme Champions: Welsh Mountain Pony

filly Barn Hill Touché, Welsh Pony mare Impe-rial Picture Perfect, The Blaidd Stud Perpetual

Troph, Karen Chipperfield Memorial Sash and

The Society’s Special Award recipient for

Supreme Welsh Pony of Cob Type mare FleurDe Lys Honey Jumble, Supreme Gelding Stony-vale Cadell and The Rosedale Stud Award win-

ner for Champion Section B Filly who went on

to take the title of Youngstock Supreme, Impe-rial Madamoiselle.The Supreme Champion Ridden Welsh Exhibit,

and the Society Medal was awarded to the chest-

nut Section A gelding, Harwood Hooley Dooley,owned by Debbie Emmerson and capably ridden

by daughter Jessica. The other qualifiers for the

Supreme Ridden Championship were Section B

Elvonara Park Kandyman, Section C LondonPark Warragul, and Section D Stonyvale Cadell.Society Medal for Best Part Welsh In Hand was

Karla McPherson’s mare Bordershow Chanel.Also contesting the award was Youngstock Part

Welsh Supreme Bell’s Mountain Miami. Society

Medal for Supreme Ridden Part Welsh was

Salisbury Toy Boy, which was a great achieve-

ment considering the pony had only recently

been leased by Terri Greve.

The Gatehouse Family’s Barn Hill Stud had a

great show with their team of wonderful Section

A’s, and were duly rewarded by being the recip-

ients of the Hanley Park Breeders Trophy, this

year awarded to the Welsh Mountain Pony Stud

gaining the highest number of points in the In-

Hand and Ridden Welsh and Part Welsh classes

on Saturday 17th March (excluding Fancy Dress

class).

Full results can be found on the QLD RPG’s

pages on the WP&CS website.

A huge thank you must be extended to all the

volunteers who helped bring the show together,

and to the many sponsors who generously pro-

vided prizes and prize money. We hope that

everyone enjoyed the show and we look forward

to seeing you all at the 2013 Queensland All

Welsh Show.

GUIDELINES TO JUDGES & EXHIBITORS

HARNESS CLASS INCIDENT GUIDELINES

Harness – gear, vehicle fitness

In line with the safety rules for riders, a driver who has fallen from a vehiclein a harness class is ineligible to continue in that class.

As a guideline, if there is no damage to the animal, vehicle or harness, theunit should be driven from the ring by an experienced person.

If there is a possibility that the animal is injured or the gear and/or vehiclehave been damaged, then, in the interests of safety, a judge may request thatthe horse/pony be unhitched from the vehicle and led from the arena.

RE: PLAITING Notice to Judges and Exhibitors.

There appears to be some confusion relating to the plaiting of Welsh exhibitsat shows. For clarification, the following regulations apply: At shows con-ducted by the WP&CS, all exhibits shown in led and ridden Welsh classesmust be shown unplaited. This does not include Part Welsh. At agriculturaland horse shows that state they are being judged under the WP&CS Showregulations, exhibits in led and ridden Welsh classes must be unplaited. Atall other shows where the WP&CS has no jurisdiction, this rule cannot beenforced. At these shows plaited exhibits should not be penalised.

NOTE: WP&CS Medals will only be allocated to shows which are judgedby a member of the WP&CS Judges’ Panel and are judged under the showregulations of the WP&CS.

CANCELLATION POLICY

In accordance with the WPCS of Aust. Inc ‘Extreme Weather & CancellationPolicy’ if cancellation is required due to existing or predicted severe and dan-gerous conditions such as Code Red Fire Warnings / Flood or travel warnings/ disease outbreaks, a recorded message will be available as printed on therelevant show program

REFUND POLICY

• If an event has commenced there will be no refunds.

• If an event is cancelled prior to commencement of the event – costs incurredby the show committee prior to the show will be paid and remaining fundswill be reimbursed to the member if the amount per exhibitor is $2 or more.

• If an event is postponed entry fees will not be refunded without a written re-quest from the exhibitor within 7 days of the notification of postponement.
