BRISTOL BRAVEHEART (Bud) AND BACK TO MY ROOTS


Forty years ago I began with Welsh Mountain Ponies (section A), and so time turns, and now I am right back where I started. "Bud" was raised by my long time, now retired veterinarian, Bud Smith. As his grand children grew and discovered other pastimes, Bud stood unused and untrained, a beautiful pony in need of a new home. I had always loved him, and in a fit of temporary pony insanity, brought him home.



 

BUD AT BRISTOL PONY FARM


Bud has confirmed my real love of Welsh Mountain Ponies and has been a delight in every way. He is always beautiful, never mussed, and never muddy, yes, he is Mr. Perfect! I wanted him mainly to be my PET, but to do a bit of something also. His first Welsh show début was a howling success, as under two noted judges he placed---double First in 3 and over A geldings, double Grand Champion A Gelding, one Supreme Champion Gelding (A, B, C, D). Bud received enough points from just one show to be WPCSA Reserve Champion Gelding South Central Region. Miss Heather Love, Eddy, Texas, exhibited him to these good wins. Great job Carol and crew.



 

BUD AND HEATHER AT THE SHOW


This spring Bud will continue his education and hopefully start a career in performance. Having been a breeder for forty years and a judge for over thirty years, I know his potential for big time showing, but do not care to go there. If "my little pony" can be a gentle, useful, and proper ambassador for the Welsh breed, that is enough for me. He will continue to show locally and to make children happy.
 


 

PEYDEN, TIFFANY, AND BUD


*NOTE - It is fitting that Bud is a grandson of our old stallion Lithgow Houdini, great grandson of one of our original stallions Hollyrun Sunray, and is DOUBLE *Hartmoor Rhymer, an original import to the Texas stud whose blood we used for years. All of these stallions can be viewed on this website.
