The year end points are in, and we are happy to announce that both Lidgett Meredith(Max) and Madoc Artistry Rose (Arti) have won their Individual Legion of Merit Awards from the Welsh Pony and Cob Society of America Inc. These awards are based on lifetime points in halter and performance classes in recognized shows. Max also finished 2006 as the WPCSA National Champion Cob Hunter and with National Reserve Championships in Ridden Cob and Western Pleasure. He also was the USEF’s Horse of the Year National Champion in Welsh Pleasure C/D. Arti finished her last few halter points for her LOM at a single show in 2006. She is currently in foal to Max for 2007, but will be returning to the show ring this fall.

On February 16, we welcomed our first foal of the season, a lovely palomino filly by Max out of Madoc Gwyneth. Although in foal, Gwyneth had a successful, albeit short 2006 show season, finishing the year as the WPCSA’s National Reserve Champion Cob Hunter. In addition to foals out of Gwyneth and Arti, we are expecting a third D from Lady Jonquil.

Madoc Savannah Rose joined our herd in September.She is a 2006 full sister to Madoc Artistry Rose and the first filly born to the great performance producers *Kentchurch Chime LOM LOM and Princess Rosina LOM since Arti. She is a big handsome bay with lovely floating movement and is destined for a performance career like her brothers and sisters, all carrying the name of a rose, who have excelled in dressage, combined training, and combined driving. Other additions to our herd are Section A fillies, Heavenly Hope from Above and Cliffside Madeline
