DreamTime Welsh is very excited to announce the newest member of the equine family has arrived! Our Section C colt out of Young’s Arrest That Flirt and Goldhills Brandysnap arrived at 11:53 pm on March 31, 2010. This lovely chesnut fellow is already racing around the paddock, keeping mom very busy in her attempts to keep up with him. We will post pictures and video as soon as the ‘Little Man’ has time to fluff up, so keep watching!

DreamTime Welsh is officially on foal watch! We are hoping to see the newest member of DreamTime Welsh any day now! We will keep you posted on the impending arrival – complete with photos as soon as possible!

We have decided to place our yearling filly ‘DT A Golden Charm’ on our sales list. This has been a hard decision, as we really love having Charm here. Her movement, markings and colour are going to truly allow her to stand out in the show ring! We have new photos of her on the Sales List page, and will have video coming shortly. Charm is an amazing little Section A filly. We will keep her in our show string until sold, so price may increase with training. If you are interested in Charm, have a look at her information, and contact us for further information!

It’s almost time ...... if calculations are correct, somewhere during the last week of March, our Rose and Goldhills Brandysnap foal should make its appearance!! We are so excited for this cross, and our first Section C pony! We know for sure that we will be having a chesnut foal, as both parents are chesnut. The biggest questions will be if baby will inherit the fabulous white markings of her mother (along with the gorgeous platinum white mane and tail!), and which parent the new pony will move like. Both parents are stunning in the movement department, and if big sister Charm is any indication on what Rose produces, this is going to be a fabulous foal! Stay tuned for updates .... and photos of the new arrival!

DreamTime Welsh would like to thank the Alberta Welsh Pony and Cob Society of Alberta for the wonderful trophy and certificate Megan received for the Alberta Welsh Junior Sportsmanship Award for the 2009 show season. This is the second time Megan has won this award, and it was a true surprise to us that she was presented with this award. Thank you to Sheila McLelland for the beautiful trophy she donated for this Junior Award!

We would also like to thank the the Alberta Welsh Pony and Cob Society of Alberta for the certificate and rosette presented to Megan for Rose – she was Reserve Grand Champion Section A Mare for the 2009 show season! What a way to finish off a nice halter career with DreamTime Welsh!

A final thank you goes to the Welsh Pony and Cob Society of Canada for the certificate presented to Sean for his participation in the Leadline classes. This was a huge unexpected surprise for Sean, and he was most proud of his fancy new certificate!

The middle of February brings the realization that Charm is almost a year old now! Officially registered, Charm’s full name is DT A Golden Charm. Unfortunately, due to a delay in registering Charm, her show points were not counted. This was greatly disappointing as Charm held 4th place in the Section A Weanling division nationally and provincially! We were very happy with Charm’s performance at the shows in 2009 in halter classes. Her strength definitely was in the Sport Pony Halter – where Charm placed above very nice 2-year-old ponies! The comments and feedback from fellow breeders, competitors and judges were absolutely fantastic. This little girl has a huge future in front of her!

We are considering selling Charm this year, so if you are interested, make sure you drop us a line and let us know. This fantastic moving filly should be going to a show home where she will shine for her new family!

Rose
After having a fantastic show season in July 2009, Rose finished the season with the Alberta Welsh Pony and Cob Society Reserve Grand Champion Mare! This was a nice and unexpected surprise for us!

We had decided early in 2009 that we would retire Rose from our show string following the 2009 show season. Rose is due to foal the second homebred DT foal this April – we are so thrilled that we will have one of only 3 Goldhills Brandysnap foals!! We will have the only Goldhill Brandysnap offspring in Canada, and the only Section C produced to date. If this foal is anything like either parent, it is sure to be a total stunner!

Toffee
The 2009 show season was a really good one for Toffee. Although she completed the year in 4th place Section D Mare in halter, Toffee seems to have finally stopped growing at just under 15 HH. This slow down in growth has finally started to allow Toffee to fill out, and really grow into her height. Toffee’s super sweet, willing-to-please attitude is a wonderful attribute. Her great personality has truly made Toffee a family favourite here at DreamTime! We look forward to bringing Toffee out for the 2010 show season!

We are thrilled to hear that Foothills Ruby, a former sales pony from DreamTime Welsh (now residing in Illinois) is headed for her first rated dressage show in August. We wish Ruby and owner Gem the best of luck in the show!

July 2009
This weekend was the first of the three Welsh Pony and Cob shows in Alberta. What a great time we had! We were stabled with our friends at Daventry Farms, and had a few new faces to meet and spend time with. We were very pleased with our show results this time out. This year the show went with a 3-day format instead of the traditional 2-day format. With a lack of folks to help out with a broodmare and foal, I had to fall back on my daughter Megan. What an incredible job she did! With her showing our section A pony Rose, we had a first ever Reserve Grand Champion! Charm (our young filly) impressed us with her ability to adapt and show her stuff in the ring. Along with many wonderful compliments from several long-time Welsh breeders, Charm won a fourth and fifth place standing in the Sport Pony Foal and Yearling Class. We were completely shocked at this win, with 9 entries in total, and 8/9 being nice looking yearlings ... way to go Charm! This weekend was definitely a great one for our friends at Daventry Farms as well – with the help of two incredible young riders – Darcie Gwynne and Dalyce Gagnon, and Tracy Dopko as well – many, many wins were received in halter and performance classes. We were very pleased to see Goldhills Brandysnap earn a Reserve Supreme Championship this show – way to go guys! Our pony Rose was not competed under saddle this show, as she is just not quite ready for that with Charm still at her side. Daventry Farms kindly allowed DreamTime Welsh to 'borrow' their Welsh pony "Offside" for Sean's leadline class. What a great match that was! Click HERE for video of this very sweet ride. A huge thank you to Megan, Sean, Daventry Farms, Darcie and Dalyce for all of your help during the weekend. Your sportsmanship, kindness and excellent manners really made the weekend a fun one!

DreamTime Welsh is thrilled to announce that our pony ‘Young’s Arrest That Flirt’ (otherwise known as Rose) is confirmed in foal to Goldhills Brandysnap!! The foal will be a purebred Welsh Section C pony – we know it will be a chestnut, just not sure if we will get the white stockings and flaxen mane and tail. This foal is due in April 2010, so make sure to check back for pictures. If the current foals from both dam and sire are any indication, this will be one amazing foal!

June 2009
After relocating to the Sherwood Park area several months ago, DreamTime Welsh has started to finally reap some of the benefits of this move. We were able to travel a short distance to attend a really nice horse show minutes from home. Megan borrowed “Offside”, a Daventry Farms pony to ride a few English classes at the show. What a great match they made! There were several junior riders at this show, which certainly gave Megan some great competition in the show ring. It was easy to see Megan’s new trainer is certainly helping her to improve her riding! Click here for clips of Offside and Megan.

June 2009
After much work, and a very long time, DreamTime Welsh finally brought our ponies home! It has been great to look out the windows and see our ponies munching in their pastures behind the house. With only a few weeks until the first Welsh Pony Show, there is going to be much to do! Our filly has proven to be a fantastic mover – better than we dared hope for. We are very excited to get her out to the shows and show off her wonderful movement!

This month Tammy flew out to Lexington, Virginia with friend Tracy Dopko of Daventry Farms while Tracy judged the USEF Bonnie Blue National Horse Show. This was the first time the show has included the Welsh ponies and cobs, and what a great event it was! This Virginia Horse Centre calls 600 acres home, and is quite an impressive facility. It was very different to view a horse show through the role of the equine judge – who knew how long their days are! The added bonus was meeting and watching some of the well-known Welsh Breeders from the Eastern USA – including the very energetic Dr. Ruth Wilburn and Sally Ross Davis of Rollingwoods Farm and Paul and Cheryl Mayes of Mayes Show Ponies. What great competitors and breeders they all are! Thanks to Tracy at Daventry Farms for the opportunity to spend a weekend at such a fun event!
