Congratulations to everyone who competed with Welshies at this years Royal Queensland Show - it was great to catch up with so many of you and to see our Welshies strutting their stuff in the main ring.

With the end of the agricultural show season here in Queensland nearly upon us, be sure to support the last few agi shows that have Welsh classes in order to ensure that we keep those classes for next year! Canungra Show on Saturday 21st August 2010 has a fabulous Welsh classlist, and has the added bonus of a Welsh Society judge with Elizabeth D'hondt officiating. Gold Coast Show also has a great Welsh classlist on Sunday 29th August 2010, including a ridden Welsh and separate ridden Part Welsh Championships, and is supported by the Qld RPG with Special Rosettes.

Wondai (27-28 Aug), Beaudesert (4 Sep) & Noosa (10-11 Sep) shows also have Welsh classes. And don't forget the Qld RPG Youngstock Show on 30th October!

NEWS CALL FROM QLD MEMBERS FOR ACTION

2010-07-07T06:23:00.000+10:00

Hi everyone

It is again time to be thinking about what news you would like to share with other WPCS members, so I'd like to invite you all to submit news for possible publication in the September, Spring edition of Action.

Please submit all news to me by Saturday 17th July – news received after this date may not be included.

Please keep your news brief as we do have a limit on the amount of space available for RGP news. So what can be included? Been campaigning your ponies? Tell us about your successes in the competition arena - be that showing, pony club, Interschool, Dressage, Harness or any other equestrian competition. Are you a new member, or do you know a new member that you could pass this email onto? Then introduce yourself to others via the Qld RPG write up in Action – tell us a bit about yourself and your ponies. Basically anything that is news worthy and will be of general interest to other members in promoting the activities of Welsh ponies in Qld, is welcome. No references to stock being for sale are allowed, nor any advertising of stallions standing at stud - such items will be edited out of the text if submitted.

Feel free to submit a photo along with your news, however please note that these must include details of who is in the picture, along with the photographers name (and ensure permission has been sort if the photograph was taken by a professional). Photos should be of print quality at 300dpi - no need for resolution to be any greater than this please!

Please keep in mind that while I do submit your news and photos to the Action editor, inclusion is restricted by space so I cannot guarantee that everything submitted will actually make it to print. However, a more thorough news coverage will be posted on the Qld Welsh Enthusiasts Blog http://qldwelsh.blogspot.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you all soon.

STUD NEWS - MOONLIGHT PONY STUD

2010-06-20T11:41:00.001+10:00

Moonlight Oberon has been sold to Beth Eldred and she has gelded him and is preparing him for harness which I'm sure he will do very well at. We have purchased a beautiful colt from Anne Ryan at Meadowvale Stud, his name is Meadowvale Mister Riley and he is brown and full of chrome. He will be standing his first season this year at Moonlight Pony Stud. He is Section A and just a real loving boy. We only have 1 foal due this season by Valley View Sir Walter out of our B supreme Champion mare Milo Arwen. Of course we are hoping for a filly.

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST INVITED - YOUNGSTOCK SHOW

2010-06-13T10:21:00.002+10:00

Calling for Interest in a Youngstock show for Queensland.

Member Kim Quodling is trying to guage the level of support there is for a youngstock show to be held at the end of this year. Possible Dates 2nd or 4th weekend of November and on the North side of town with the idea of making it accessible for as many members as possible. It will be a one day show only. Please note, I am not personally on the North side of town so will need to travel to get there myself. The choice of location is meant to open it up to members who find getting to our All Welsh challenging.

Possibly a Mountain and Moorland show. This will depend on interest.

For the Qld Committee to support the show we would need commitments from people prepared to organize the show and host it. I am prepared to organize but will need some assistence. Without a certain level of commitment I will not proceed so only promise what you are prepared to deliver. Please email directly with ideas, commitments or support for the show. I would also like to hear form people keen to enter for the show. My direct email address is kim@stonyvaleponies.com.au

Please conatct Kim directly with your comments.

STUD NEWS - BARN HILL STUD

2010-04-24T11:45:00.001+10:00

What a great All Welsh Show. Congratulations to the Committee. We would like to congratulate all the successful owners of Barn Hill ponies who exhibited at the Queensland All Welsh. Of particular note is Susan Lyons with Barn Hill Party Girl who was awarded Best Youngstock Exhibit. Also to Cathy and Chelsea Pender who has a super time on Barn Hill Tamarillo in the ridden classes, and Kate Prince with her section A's.

Sadly we had to put Imperial Play Up to rest over Christmas at this age of 20. A very sad day. Play Up was one of two founding mares of the Barn Hill Stud and so has had a profound effect on our progeny. She was by Weston Hoopla out of Imperial Playtime. All our ponies who's names start with 'P’ are sons, daughters or grand children of Play Up. Herself a successful show filly, her more successful progeny have been Pom Pom, Party Girl, Party Time and Ping Pong. Of course a lot of her progeny over the years have found new homes and I'm sure have provided happiness and/or success for the owners.

Belle Phlynn Park Welsh Pony Stud is nestled amongst the Glasshouse Mountains on the Sunshine Coast. The 2009 foaling season has been very successful, with the arrival of four fillies and two colts. Nilton Sky Cloud (Nattai Madog x Nilton Skye) having his first foal by Karanga Twilight (Nattai Prophet x Nattai Morning Mist) a filly who is superb with good temperament, bone and movement. Kerulen Opie (Llanfairbryn Cardno Coch x Hazelmere Olwen) has also given us some wonderful foals.

We are looking forward to bringing our youngstock out and about and starting their showing careers. The breeding season has been very busy also with looking forward to our next season of foals.

STUD NEWS - BORDERSHOW

2010-04-24T11:42:00.000+10:00

We have had a very successful foaling season with the arrival of the first crop of foals by the imported stallions Blanche Mystique (Welsh A) and Laithehill Mozart (Welsh B). We have two magnificent fillies by Mystique a bay and a grey with stunning heads and movement. Also a divine brown colt by Mozart. We are hoping to have them at some shows this year. We will have a lot more foals on the ground by these two boys at the end of this year. We also have some very promising Part Welsh foals by our Riding Pony stallions Bordershow The Tempter and Falconhurst Boy Blue

There are a number of recently sold Bordershow ponies being shown around QLD and it is great to see you all out at the shows and hear about your successes. Keep up the good work!

2010-04-24T11:41:00.000+10:00

We have once again been campaigning our ponies inhand, competing in a total of eight shows so far this year. Our team of four have had mixed results across the shows. However our section D filly Indi Party Girl has had great success consistently winning and taking out Best Welsh In Hand at Allora show.

With all of the rain over the New Year our paddocks are beautiful and green and our ponies don’t know what to do with all the grass. Our three section B foals are growing nicely and we look forward to getting them out and about next show season.

STUD NEWS - MEADOWVALE WELSH PONIES

2010-04-24T11:40:00.000+10:00

We are happy to announce that we have two delightful fillies by Roseraie Masquerade, our section A stallion, each stamped with his personality and gentle nature. A lovely bay filly called Meadowvale Poppy and the other is a stunning little buckskin who will be registered Part Welsh, out of our black buckskin Shetland. We are finding the Welsh A / Shetland cross is excellent for carriage driving and children’s first mounts. They are solid but stylish with wonderful gentle temperament. All our colts from last year have gone to new homes and we now eagerly await the possibility of another buckskin foal to match Meadowvale Chickpea, then we will be busy with a pair in harness! We have enjoyed nearly 44 inches of rain since Boxing Day, so we have lots of fat little ponies and Clydesdales.

2010-04-24T11:38:00.001+10:00

We are settling in to a new property in the Scenic Rim of South East Qld and would like to thank Steven and Kathy Pile from Dracmoore stud for their hospitality during the transition period. Our move in date was mid way through the first school term so their hospitality meant we had a much easier time in relocating schools for the children.

We are absolutely loving being here and even managed to present three ponies at our All Welsh this year and had the added enjoyment of watching Alison Sketcher compete with Stonyvale Casper (our first foal recorded for our stud).

With only two foals due this year and our section A stallion Nattai Commodore currently on lease to Nikki Evans of Nikki-Jay Stud we will be concentration on educating our youngsters and converting the property to our needs for the ponies. Previously cattle and cultivation, we are fast learning what is involved in baling hay whilst the sun shines!

STUD NEWS - TARAHUA PONY STUD

2010-04-24T11:25:00.005+10:00

I am relatively new to the WPCSA, having relocated here from NZ in late 2007. Carrying on a family stud, I have taken over the reins of "Tarahua Pony Stud" from my Grandmother, who started the Stud in New Zealand in 1982. Over the years we have had numerous Welsh ponies and I have a definite love of the breed. In our relocation to Australia in 2007, I brought with us a couple of ponies (can't leave home without them!) including our Stallion, Tarahua St Triston (pictured above), who is registered 25%Welsh and carries some very old English bloodlines including Wentworth, Coed Coch and Bwlch. He is a mix of English Riding Pony as well, being sired by Keston St Christoper (imp UK). At 22 years of age, he is still sound, fertile and an absolute gentleman as always. He has not been standing at public stud since arriving in Australia - at his age, while the flesh may be keen, his owner is a little more realistic!

This foaling season he sired a gorgeous colt out of Thorwood Tabby Cat, who has turned out a stunning rose grey. He has his sires disposition and will make a very classy children’s pony. Triston also became a grandfather again this season after his daughter Tarahua Sheer Elation (imp NZ)(pictured above) produced a stunning colt by Bevanlee After Dark. Tarahua Master Maxwell (pictured below)is a keeper for sure, a gorgeous bay with a gentle nature and flamboyant movement.

While not producing huge numbers and not currently the size of years in the past, Tarahua Pony Stud aims to produce beautiful ponies with natures to match. After all, without a beautiful nature, ponies cannot be fully enjoyed by children! For more information, please feel free to have a look at our website www.tarahuaponies.com

Having a young family myself, I have not yet ventured into the show ring in Australia, but am looking forward to getting back into it when time and family commitments permit.

MORE PHOTOS FROM THE INFORMATION DAY AT GYMPIE

2010-04-01T08:33:00.003+10:00

We have had such a positive response from members since our Information Days have been held. Here's a little more info and photos from the Gympie Day.

Harmony Hill Stud kindly provided the Welsh Mountain Pony used during the first part of the demonstration. She was prepared by Megan Fah. John James made particular comment on not over trimming the Native Pony for the showring, and advised on techniques for pulling and trimming the mane and tail so as to give as natural an outline as possible.

Ruth Porter brought along a section B and Part Welsh for the demonstration, and it was a team effort to get a Welsh Leading Rein Pony to the day, with
Stonyvale Casper being generously loaned for the day by Alison Sketcher who had family commitments and could not come herself (she would have loved the day and been very proud of the well behaved Casper). Getting Casper there from Caboulture meant that Paula Winkel picked him up and delivered him home. And Kim Quodling handled the gearing up and child rider on the day. Thanks ladies!

REPORT - MEMBERS INFORMATION DAY AT GYMPIE

2010-03-28T09:04:00.010+10:00

The Qld RPG was again pleased to present the second of our Members Information Days for this year, this time held north of Brisbane at the Gympie Showgrounds on Saturday 27th March 2010. Around 50 members and non-members attended the presentation of "Preparing to Win in the Ring" by our 2010 Qld All Welsh Show Judges, John and Ann James from the Sianwood Stud in West Wales, prior to their return to the UK. A beautiful sunny day meant the presentation could be held outdoors with the crowd seated under large shady trees. Gotta love Queensland!
Above: John James
John proved to be a real entertainer and used a candid approach to capture the audience. Covering a range of topics from conditioning and grooming at home, mane pulling, natural tails, showring presentation, handler attire, show ring etiquette and the workout for showing the In-Hand pony, attire and presentation of the Leading Rein pony and rider, and discussion on Welsh and Show Hunter type.

At the end of the day Pam O'Shea presented a pair of engraved coffee mugs to John and Ann as a momento of the day. Many thanks to Sue Groundwater, Ruth Porter and Kim Quodling for bringing demonstration ponies along, and to local area members Sue Groundwater, Pam O'Shea and Ruth Porter for organising the day.

The 2010 Qld All Welsh Show was held Friday 19th to Sunday 21st March at Gatton Indoor Arena. Thankfully the weather was fine depsite concerns of an impending cyclone off the North Qld Coast. Thank you to all competitors for your participation - we have received such a positive response from competitors on the organistion of this years show, which helps make all the hard work put into it by our many voltuneers worthwhile.

We had a record of 234 exhibits entered, and 112 exhibitors with many new WPCS members attending their first Qld All Welsh Show - their enthusiasm and excitment for the breed has certainly renewed and strengthened the RPG's commitment to continually improve and promote Welsh Ponies of all sections in this state.

Offcial results from the show will be posted as soon as available, along with images. Our official photographer, Alyson McGovern, will post proofs on her website www.alysonmcgovern.com.au soon. Publicity images are also available from Tina Brewster.

A very special thank you to RPG Secretary, Sue Groundwater, who put many hours of work in prior to the show and spent the entire show in the office ensuring everyone was happy! Also a very sincere thank you (I think on behalf of all competitors) to Peter and Bronwyn McAdam for keeping the show flowing as our chief collecting ring stewards, Lorelle Laffey who had the task of stable opener along with many other tasks, Elizabth Doyle as results recorder in the office, and to all judges, stewards, anouncers and other volunteers who all pulled together and without whom a show of this size could not happen.

REPORT - WALLOON MEMBERS INFO DAY

2010-02-28T10:15:00.006+10:00

The Qld RPG was very pleased with the attendance at the Members Information Day held at Palmerston Equestrian Centre, Walloon on Saturday 20th February, 2010. Seventy-nine members and non-members attended the presentation of "Preparing to Win in the Ring" presented by Helen Slee and Christine Gray, from Victoria.

Covering a range of topics from feeding and conditioning, trimming, presentation, attire, show ring etiquette and the workout for showing the In-Hand pony, to choosing the right class for your pony be it Welsh or Open Leading Rein, and discussion on Welsh and Show Hunter type. Attendees particiated by asking plenty of questions as a number of ponies were brought forward to demonstrate the topics under discussion.

The Qld RPG committee would like to thank, Cathy Pender and Debbie Emmerson for providing ponies for the demonstrations. We hope that everyone enjoyed the day and learnt a few tips.

Above: The crew presented for the Judges Assessment - (L-R)Geoff Trim, Christine Gray, Helen Slee, Louise Colthorpe, Lorrelle Laffey and Ashley Porter

The following day four members underwent the Judges Assessment process, under the watchful gaze of Christine Gray and Helen Slee. We thank all members who brought their ponies in on this day, including a last minute scramble to supply four Section B ponies after the pre-arranged ponies were unable to come. A very big thank you to Mandy Temple, Toni Saunders, Elizabeth Doyle, Geoff Trim, Kathy Pile and Kim Quodling for you efforts in getting ponies in the ring. We couldn't have done it without you!

Our next Members Information Day will be held at Gympie Showgrounds the weekend following the Qld All Welsh Show. See below post for details.

Arawel Lodge has relocated to the lovely township of Tinana, on the outskirts of Maryborough. It was a huge move with all ponies in toe... The green pastures of this beautiful 40 acre property is just a pleasure to wake up to each morning.
The ponies didn't know what to do, just hung around up the top until they realised that there were no fences for quite a while, just a running creek as the boundary.
Elargee Penzance is looking after them all keeping them together though.

We have a new partbred gelding to campaign this year "Valley View Falcon Crest" that we have purchased for Brienna to do Equine Studies on for the next few years.
Hope to see everyone at the Qld All Welsh.

Bryntawel has had a great year for beautiful foals! We have a liver chestnut Section C colt by Gweunydd Sionyn(imp) from our lovely Seawynd Gay Girl, a black Welsh B filly by Rahane Sebastian from Bryntawel Thumbelina and a gorgeous bay part welsh filly from Bryntawel Kisses also by Rahane Sebastian. These youngsters will be out and about at some point during the show season as I can’t wait to show them off.

The 2009 breeding season has been particularly busy as we are using Weston Park Vesper (Section A), Rahane Sebastian (B) and Radnor Sir Gilbert (B) and quite a few well-bred mares visiting. We are all looking forward to seeing their foals later in the year.

Tanlee Stud had a fantastic 2009 breeding season, with resident stallion Bangor Michaelangelo producing all fillies with heaps of chrome, his first foal crop.

Our old stallion Kingwood Dwn, who has now been sold on, also produced all fillies finally giving us stunning palomino and cremello colours. All mares and foals are happy and healthy.

STUD NEWS - TALSARN PONY STUD

2010-01-24T09:56:00.001+10:00

2009 foaling for Talsarn pony stud has gone well, with three WMP foals by young sire Talsarn Thomas. Two very nice colts arrived out of Talsarn Blueberry and Lenson Park Desere which should make extremely good future geldings - although the temptation is there to leave at least one of them entire! After very bad luck the last couple of years in the filly department, the old mare Loch Sloy Divinity produced a little lady, which will be retained.

Old "Divvy" had a difficult year in 2009 - diagnosed with Cushings syndrome when her last foal was 4 months old she had quite a battle at times, including an operation, and many times did I wonder if it was worth it. But through it all she remained infoal, and a good filly foal is our reward - so she is now retired and well and living a happy life raising her baby. Also her son Talsarn Blueprint has been tried over a couple of mares this season so there may be grandchildren in Spring!

STUD NEWS - SHEFFIELD LODGE

2010-01-23T15:30:00.001+10:00

Sarah and Bernadette Leviston from Sheffield Lodge are proud to announce their very first foal. Sheffield Lodge Ray Of Sunshine was born 4th December. Dam: Rayglyn Park Rhapsody (Hazlemere Inca x Nattai Daffodil) Sire: Crestwood Limited Edition (Mirinda Spycatcher x Tooravale Paige). Sunshine is the most dear little palomino filly, four white socks and perfect blaze. She was named after dear friend Raymond Grott. She is a half sister to the multi supreme buckskin gelding Rayglyn Park Perriwinkle (Owendale Pageboy) and is sure to follow in his footsteps. They have recently purchased the Antrim Choirboy (Antrim Limerick x Oaklands Park Minuette) from Antrim Stud, a stunning smutty palomino gelding who is going to be their next led and performance prospect.

Sarah leaves for the Navy soon, she has had a wonderful childhood showing and riding and is now grown up and ready to see the world, so Bernadette will be solo now with just one or two ponies at the shows. All who know Sarah will miss her smiling face, but she has a wonderful future ahead of her and she did remind me she cannot fit a pony in a submarine, so they have to stay home!

STUD NEWS - TANLEE STUD

2009-11-15T10:09:00.000+10:00

We have had six stunning foals this season, still waiting for another three babies. Two beautiful fillys from Bangor Michaelangelo, his first two foals.

STUD NEWS - KINGSWOOD STUD

2009-11-15T10:06:00.001+10:00

Some people may be aware but most people not aware that Kingswood Stud moved from Yamanto to Glamorgan Vale some twelve months ago. It was a major job relocating horses and the rest of the menagerie. Horses have settled in well, but the move meant no stables (hence the sale of the lovely Buckskin stallion "Prinley Park Stormboy"), no yards, no small paddocks, no foaling paddocks etc. Yes foaling time has come around before any major fencing could be done, but yeah we survive and roll with the flow. "Moondyne Raindancer" produced a chestnut colt to "Simeon Sovereign", "Owendale Honeysuckle" produced a chestnut colt to "Prinley Park Stormboy", "Kingswood Miss Muff" produced a very leggy chestnut filly to "Prinley Park Stormboy", "Kingswood Lady Yasmin" has also produced another black filly full sister to "Kingswood Anastasia and "Kingswood Elegance", and last but my no means least "Glengwin High Society" has produced an equistite little buckskin colt to "Simeon Sovereign", obviously premature but full of life. Still have another "B" mare to foal and 2 "As' plus visiting "B" mare to foal. "Kingswood Anastasia", now owned by Judith Blacket has been doing well in the dressage area, ridden so competently by Leisel Dingley. Recently heading off to a dressage day competing in three events and winning all three events, and only last week brought home a State Dressage title for her new owner and rider.

STUD NEWS - MERLOD

2009-11-15T10:01:00.002+10:00

Rod and Mary Dunn have sold the Welsh B colt Merlod Jonty to Kim and Jo Stewart-Gray of Hirstglen. Jonty was the foal of the show earlier this year at the All Breeds Youngstock Show and was successful at Gatton Show. We hope to see more of Jonty in the show ring in the future.

The Arawel Lodge team has had a very successful year of showing 2009. A.L. Shakira, winning Champion Mare at the Qld All Welsh, going on to win Supreme Welsh Exhibit at the Fraser Coast Welsh Feature and then to the RNA with her huge belly going on again to win Supreme Welsh Mountain Pony at Brisbane Royal.

Nilton Minuette is proving to be my next show exhibit, winning Dry mare at Qld All Welsh, 1st Mare Fraser Coast and 1st Mare at Brisbane Royal. Just cant seem to beat Shakira. Might leave Shakira at home for a while...

Arawel Lodge Bay Baron also doing very well winning gelding classes, including Supreme Gelding at Fraser Coast. Now getting ready to break in.

I would like to thank Lorelle Laffey, and David Whye for all their help with showing and preparing my ponies.

We have had two foals so far, a filly out of Nilton Minuette and of course no. 7 colt from Shakira. Awaiting a couple more later in the season, last crop of foals from Bambury Baron.

I would also like to thank Michelle Shephard of Snowdon Vale Stud for the fantasic opportunity of having the exceptional stallion "ELARGEE PENZANCE" (Brecn Bach Poppy Soldier imp NZ x Elargee Primrose) on lease for my stud.

All the Mum’s are working hard at Barn Hill with their new foals. And there’s even a bit of colour this year with two coloured colts by Mariana Lodge Versace (by Coed Coch Gwyndaf), which is a nice change from all the grey! Our other foals this year are by our own Barn Hill Fletcher.

Away from the stud, we are happy to report some performance success stories in Qld EFA Dressage. Our part welsh gelding, Barn Hill Rebel Yell, ridden by Sam, continues to do well in pony dressage and just recently competed in his first official Medium test. Sam was very proud to be Novice Champion at the Brenda Whitman Classic (Regional Championships), and then 4th and 5th in the Elementary at the State Championships.

The Section C mare Glynyarra Park Rose Red, continued her winning streak for 2009 at Brisbane Royal, taking Best Welsh C/D Exhibit. Many thanks to Stephen Pile who ran her so beautifully. Rosie finished her year with Champion C/D Exhibit at the Noosa Show in September and is now enjoying some well deserved paddock time.

Trapalanda Downs Jaxon Sec C gelding, arrived from Burrowa Stud, Victoria in early October. He was at the breaker within 36 hrs of arriving in Qld and has impressed with his amazing movement and intelligence. He will have a good stint of mustering after breaking in, then will hit the arena to commence channelling that movement into the classical principles of dressage over the next few years. He is giving every indication of being a wonderful saddle horse. Hopefully he won`t look back on his 4 yrs of running with mares as a stallion too fondly!

Wattles Halifax, a Sec B gelding is in serious training and work for his Interschool debut with his new 11 yo rider in 2010. He just loves Amanda and looks forward to her visits to ride him as she always has a treat hidden somewhere. Amanda will ride for her Wheatlands Primary School.

Burrowa Dancing Sec C filly has arrived after making her showing debut at the NSW All Welsh. Dancing is by Trapalanda Downs Jaxon and will be shown in 2010.

Roseneath Fable Sec B by Wattles Legend, has gone to Sydney Hewison from Kingaroy for a harness career. He is a showy, great moving pony who is sure to excel in Syd`s capable hands.

REPORT FROM GUNALDA MEETING - 23rd Aug 2009

2009-09-27T10:20:00.002+10:00

BELOW IS THE REPORT SUBMITTED BY RUTH PORTER AFTER THE WORKING GROUP MEETING HELD LAST MONTH

A wave of interest in Welsh Pony classes at Agricultural Shows was generated in the SE Qld area from posts placed on the All Welsh forum under SE Qld Shows. The discussion site had well over 4000 hits. Many of the bloggers shared information about Welsh programmes at Ag Shows in their local areas and it became evident that due to the activity and support from members and the RPG that several areas had clusters of Welsh programmes available to them. It was evident that the northern end of SE Qld which included the geographical areas of Wide Bay and Fraser Coast and the inland region of the Burnett, plus the northern Sunshine Coast did not have the same Ag Show classes. Classes usually consisted all Sections together as Stallion/colt, Mare/filly, some with gelding classes and several that did not allow the gelding to compete for Champ if he did have a class. These classes were frequently attended by part welsh ponies also.

A group of members with the common interest of addressing this situation decided to hold a meeting at Gunalda Hall which was a good mid point for the region, to see whether there was enough interest from across this large region, to engage Ag Shows to the introduction or expansion of their Welsh programmes.

I will backtrack briefly to 12 mths prior when a meeting was held in Kilkivan to look at whether a Feature Show could be organized in 2009 in the region. For those of us who were there we know what a terrific Feature Show was pulled together by member Pracilla Pearson of Ludlow Park Welsh Ponies, who had an advantage by being a senior member of the Fraser Coast Show Society, but that advantage at an executive level in no way diminished the enormous amount of planning and work that went in to the realization of classes on the ground at the Fraser Coast Show, with Frances Best from Victoria judging. In short, the members in the region had a good role model to follow in what can be achieved. I must also mention that Wondai Show in the South Burnett had a Welsh Feature eg expanded classes across all sections in 2008 due to the generous sponsorship of Mark and Lauren Blamires, local Welsh Pony owners, and Mark`s family business.

So returning to the Gunalda meeting held on 23rd August 2009. About 20 members attended the meeting chaired by John Riley with Sue Groundwater and Kathy Pile from the Qld RPG Comittee also in attendance. John gave the meeting a comprehensive overveiw of a Working Group and those present voted to form a Working Group with Terms of Reference agreed upon. John advised the group that Qld had 3 Medal Shows and that a 4th may like to be planned for this region.

The general consensus of the meeting was that:

1. The Working Group would target 6-10 Ag Shows across the region in question, to provide an expanded Welsh programme at their shows in 2010. The RPG would provide assistance to this endeavour. A Hi-Point system across these shows with annual awards was considered an excellent idea to encourage members support of the shows.

2. An education day covering preparation, showing and ring craft for Welsh Ponies be held before the 2010 show season, perhaps to be discussed at the AGM as to how that could be organized. Gunalda Showgrounds as a central point could be considered as a venue. It has lots of shade and being just off the Bruce Highway is accessible.

3. Depending on the interest shown and the momentum that may be created by members, a Native Pony Show may be held in 2010 or 2011.

There was good representation of members from across the region and these got together in clusters to meet each other and exchange contact details so a co-ordinated approach to selected shows in their particular area could be made.

Sue Groundwater has distributed the email addresses and other contact details of people at the meeting who agreed to be contacted.

Anyone not able to be at the meeting is encouraged to contact Sue or myself to stay in touch with what is happening with the Working Group or to get involved with others in their local areas to approach the Show Societies.

Finally, a big thank you to the Qld RPG for it`s support for these initiatives and for it`s guidance in helping create the Working Group. As we all know John, Sue and Kathy all attend every RPG meeting, John the COM meetings in Victoria, and here they were attending another meeting in their busy schedules all in the name of supporting members and their ponies.

Ruth Porter.

WORKING GROUP CONTACTS: Sue Groundwater harmonyhillponies@hotmail.com or Ruth Porter ruth56@bigpond.com

APPENDUM
I am adding this as inspiration to the Working Group. Noosa Show expanded it`s Welsh programme after members approached the Chief Ring Steward, who was most approachable. The call for funds went out as Noosa needed to cover the costs of this. Funds, above the requirements, were dedicated within 24hrs and Dracmoore Welsh Ponies stepped in with prizes for the Champions of each section. Christine told me personally that she was astounded and delighted by the interest in, generosity of and politness and co-operation displayed by all the Wesh members she dealt with. She is more than happy to consider the expanded programme in 2010 and tentatively offered the stand alone Western Pleasure arena for a full Welsh programme. On the day of the show we all walked into the arena and followed the line of the fence around to our area for judging, nose to tail, creating enough interest from our numbers to get the show announcer thoroughly involved in attracting attention to the Welsh ponies and the classes.

WORKING GROUP APPOINTED

2009-09-04T06:46:00.000+10:00

As a result of the increase in membership of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society in the Burnett, Fraser Coast and Sunshine Coast areas the Queensland RPG have appointed a working group to explore opportunities for promoting the Welsh breeds in the area. The group's terms of reference are to encourage agricultural show Society's to include classes for the Welsh breeds in their schedules, introduce an annual points competition for in-hand and ridden ponies and cobs at the cooperating shows and arrange a education and activity day for members in the area.

The first meeting of the working group held at Gunalda addressed by John Riley Chairman of the Queensland RPG and Committee of Management member was attended by twenty enthusiastic members. The working group will be chaired by RPG member Sue Groundwater, Harmony Hill Stud with clerical support from Ruth Porter of Roseneath Pony Stud.

BRYNTAWEL
Julia Hardie from Bryntawel Sporting Horses had great success at Kalbar Show with the pretty little Welsh A, Woranora Priscilla, winning Supreme Welsh exhibit. She was also Champion Welsh A at the recent Laidley Show. Section C mare, Seawynd Gay Girl, strutted her stuff at Boonah Show to win Champion C & D. Her foal by Gweunydd Sionyn is eagerly awaited in October. Riverlea Henna won Supreme Welsh exhibit at Ipswich Show earlier in May, so we have had a great show season so far. We have been busily preparing the show team for Brisbane Royal, as we have six ponies nominated for the Welsh classes.

MOONLIGHT PONY STUD
Janette Cairns & Bob Vines are expecting four foals this year: two partbreds, one Welsh B and one Welsh A. They have been campaigning Valley View Sir Walter around the traps this year and have been successful with Champions by the handful in both Welsh and Arabian Pony classes. He will be out in harness next year in a jogger and the year after will graduate to a Viceroy.

ROSENEATH WELSH PONIES

Ruth Porter of Roseneath Welsh Ponies has recently purchased the Section C weanling filly, Burrowa Dancing (pictured above), from Sue and Ace Coughlan`s stud Burrowa. Burrowa Dancing is out of Bannods Gem and by Trapalanda Downs Jaxon. Dancing will be shown at the NSW All Welsh in October before arriving in Qld.

The Section C mare Glynyarra Park Rose Red, has been sashed Champion Cob mare at Fraser Coast and Toogoolawah Shows and was Supreme Cob at Fraser Coast. She is an absolute delight to have in the stable and to show.

The Section B Glenian Park Contessa was Champion Welsh mare/filly at Fraser Coast and has Reserve Champ sashes from her buckskin classes at Fraser Coast and Gympie, along with Champion Arabian Derivative at Gympie. Tess is out for the winter much to her horror as she is such a princess, and will come back in for Noosa Show in September.

The Section C Penyghent Royal Albert is doing what he loves best, at the moment restoring a young girl`s confidence after a couple of frights on bigger horses. He looks after his child riders far better than he ever looks after me!

Section B geldings, Wattles Halifax (pictured above) and Wattles Bavaria, both by Owendale Coconut, are in work preparing for pony dressage comps in the spring and summer. Both are working towards their Elementary debuts. Both so trainable and lovely boys.

The lovely Part Welsh gelding, Euston Raffles, is on lease to Sarah Isaac, and has been doing some good winning at Pony Club dressage. His full brother Euston Royal Ascot (pictured above) was 3rd and 5th in huge classes in open company at a recent dressage competition in Toowoomba. Ascot is on loan to Karen Dennien from Gobongo Charolais Stud at Jackson.

TALSARN WELSH MOUNTAIN PONIES
Greg Dallaway moved his small stud from Victoria to Fernvale in South-East Queensland almost three years ago, bringing with him a small group of mares and a colt. A story on the origins of the stud was published in our 1996 Journal, with some follow-up notes by the Journal editor (on connections with the Criban Stud) in 2003.

Since arrival there has been fairly mixed luck - in the first season only 3 mares were to foal - and then EI arrived! One mare slipped a filly at the height of her infection, and another suddenly developed severe pneumonia ; she very luckily recovered, and went on to foal safely a rich bay colt by Victorian sire Glynyarra Kristian, who has some well-known progeny in Qld. Kristian was used a couple of times as a Twyford/Revel outcross on the predominantly Bowdler and Criban line mares.

The second season brought several colts and only one filly which was unfortunately lost at birth. So several extra boys - very engaging and fun little characters! - are temporarily swelling the ranks here. Hopes are held for at least a couple of fillies to arrive next Spring by young sire Talsarn Thomas, of old Criban and Revel lines.
