Star is our second Welsh and was purchased for his darling little ears and
precocious personality. I gave him to my Mom, Kay, as a Christmas
present in 1997. What else do you buy for someone who has everything?

Believe it of not, Star is a half brother to our
Flying Colors Rainbow
Trail
! Like Cain and Abel, they hate each other, which provides us with
endless entertainment...squealing, stomping and lots of ugly faces!

Star has excellent Welsh type and movement. He is awesome over fences
too, though we don't currently have any riders to jump him.

Star lives his life on his own terms, but allows us to use him as the Ponies Galore! "Ambassador of Goodwill," often
representing the Welsh pony at the Minnesota Horse Expo and the Minnesota State Fair. He has allowed thousands
of people to pet him. He loves every minute of the adoration, though he REFUSES show it!

Star was back in the show ring in 2003. He and Ms. Maura Daugherty proved to be a perfect match. They were a
competitive pair and
earned many ribbons.

Aside from his show ring duties, Star's other jobs include giving the small visitors to Ponies Galore! pony rides,
doing lessons and keeping the young ponies in line. His main job is as companion to our stallion,
Phantom Bronze
Knight
.

Star will remain at Ponies Galore! till the end of his days. We simply can't part with him...and we're not sure anyone
else could put up with him! Star will be used in the JDEC lesson program as his time permits (in other words, IF
Knight allows it!).

Eddy, as his name implies, was the first pony born at Ponies Galore! I arrived
at the barn just in time for him to be born in my lap. He is exactly what he
was bred to be...an outstanding Hunter-type pony.

Eddy moves from the shoulder with lots of "push" from behind, with the
ultimate hunter gaits. He has a lovely bascule to his jump, not to mention a
tight front end. His conformation is excellent, with ample bone and depth of
body, great topline, elegant neck, and expressive face. While he photographs
quite well, he must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

Eddy's temperament is simply exceptional. This 900 pound puppy-dog still
thinks he's a 90 pound foal and LOVES to "cuddle." He is easy to manage in
all circumstances, though he tends to demonstrate his youthful exuberance in
the show ring.

Eddy's first public appearance was at the 2000 Minnesota Horse Expo as a yearling. He dutifully stood at his stall
guard for three days demonstrating his wonderful disposition and teaching all the visitors what a "Welara" pony is.
He behaved very well the whole weekend. I was very proud of him and took him again in 2001 and 2003. Pictures
of "Expo Eddy" can be seen in his photo album.

Eddy returned to the show ring in 2003 after taking 2002 off to breed his first mares and begin his under saddle
training. Eddy had an extremely successful show season, resulting in several more championships and year end
awards. Eddy's complete show record can be viewed on his show record page.

Eddy's under saddle training has progressed very well. He is totally balanced, supple and willing to work. Eddy will
make his performance debut in the show ring in 2006. Watch for Eddy in Hunters, English and Western Pleasure!
Eddy's first foals arrived  in 2003. I couldn't be more pleased with them.
Galore's Wicked Trickster, out of the
Section B mare
Ironhorse Jump For Joy, arrived on May 31, 2003, in Massachusetts. Galore's Sweet SeaCret
arrived on June 25, 2003, to my Reserve Grand Champion Half Welsh mare Lady June. I was there when Secret
arrived, just as I was for Eddy. She is her daddy's girl in every way and is, in my opinion, one of the best foal I've
bred to date. Secret has been retained for the broodmare band. Eddy was bred to Section B mare
Young's Kwik N
Easy
right before he was gelded. On May 8, 2006, Galore's Easy Lover arrived. Lovey is every bit as wonderful as
Secret and seal brown to boot! Pictures of these beautiful babies can be seen in Eddy's album. Eddy has given his
foals his height, substance, extreme movement and stunning good looks.

Eddy was gelded in August of 2005 to become my personal mount and show pony. I look forward to riding a more
"focused" Eddy for many years to come.

Boo Boo is a very smart, sweet, and sensible guy. Just great pony! Boo
Boo has gained many fans at Ponies Galore! because of his quiet
demeanor and huge heart. He arrived at Ponies Galore! as a 10 year old,
having had some rough riding somewhere in his past. He is a bit nervous
with new riders, particularly adults, but once he accepts you as "his," he
will gladly do whatever is asked of him, for as long as you ask.
Boo Boo has been extensively trail ridden, so not much bothers him
outside the ring. He is a great asset as a "buddy" for the young ponies
learning the ropes of trail riding.

Boo Boo has completed two successful seasons on the Welsh circuit
where he competed in Showmanship, Halter, Trail, Ridden Cob, English
and Western Pleasure. He is also a huge part of the JDEC lesson program.
