Foaling season is over and breeding season is in full swing. Phantom Bronze Knight has been bred to Section A
mare Madoc Pippi Longstocking and Section B mare Mar-Jon Schilling. Galore's Splash of Flash has been bred
to APHA mares "Sadie" and "Cheyenne" and Section B mare Young's Kwik N Easy.
May 18, 2008
Galore's Splash of Flash is a Grandpa! I just received news that Splash's Section B son Goin' the Distance had his
first foal born on May 16. The Mulligan Mile (aka Logan) is out of the Welara mare Toni Mulligan.

THE BABIES ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Galore's Fifth Avenue foaled a big grey Section B colt at 4:45 AM on April 29. Proud sire is Phantom Bronze
Knight. Galore's Talladega Knight "aka Tally" is absolutely everything a Section B Welsh pony should be so I am
very pleased. He looks to mature between 12.2 hands and is already quite the ladies man!
Destiny's Paint mare, Domino's Deluxe, foaled a black Half Welsh filly about 5:00 AM on May 8. Proud sire is
Galore's Splash of Flash. Des didn't get her spots, but Galore's Diamond Deluxe aka "Zoe" is simply gorgeous
and has Hunter pony written all over her...if she stays pony height. She's HUGE!
Young's Kwik N Easy foaled a to-die-for black Section B filly at 7:00 AM on May 14. Splash is two for two on
black fillies this year! Galore's Easy on the Eyes "aka Kiki" is definitely a keeper as Jenny has been so stingy her
fillies. Kiki should mature to 12.2 hands.
Galore's Splash of Flash was voted 'the third sexiest stallion' at the 2008 Minnesota Horse Expo by Dressage
trainer/rider Mindy Price. Who were first and second? Mindy's Friesian stallion Zorro and her Gypsy Vanner
Groovy. We're very happy with third in that company! Check out Zorro and Groovy by clicking here.
Stunning good looks aside, Splash was once again a hit with the crowds at Expo and made me at VERY proud
mom. Splash was broke to ride in 2002. I did the first two rides myself and neither of us enjoyed it much. The next
three were done by a talented junior rider, who shortly thereafter decided to quit riding. Fast forward to the week
before the 2008 Horse Expo when Destiny decided she wanted to RIDE Splash for his stallion demos. He hadn't
really been ridden in almost 6 years, but what the heck....on did I mention he hasn't been off the farm since 2003?
Destiny and I got down to the fairgrounds at 6:00 AM on opening day. We took Splash down to the judging arena to
see if Destiny's 'plan' was going to work. Lo and behold, Splash trotted around like an old lesson pony AND
cantered for the VERY FIRST TIME under saddle.
This very green pony rose to the occasion for all three of his stallion demos and both breed demos in the coliseum.
He was so well-behaved that no one believed he's so green, let alone that he's a stallion. The best part of it all was
that I think he loved it...showing off, the adoration, his new job...
Pictures of Splash at Horse Expo can be found in his photo album.
Due to work schedules and other issues, our 2008 Welsh show schedule has been adjusted:
July 18 & 19 - Heart of Minnesota Back to Back Silver I, Sauk Centre, Minnesota
July 19 & 20 - Heart of Minnesota Back to Back Silver II, Sauk Centre, Minnesota
Our 2008 show string is finally set in stone:
Galore's Splash of Flash, 11 year old Section A stallion - Halter and English Pleasure
Galore's Easy on the Eyes, 2008 Section B filly - Halter
Galore's Fifth Avenue, 4 year old Section B mare - Halter
Galore's Talledega Knight, 2008 Section B colt - Halter
FARM NEWS: Since Des and Jake closed on the farm on November 21, and we moved in the next day, in a
snowstorm, our immediate fencing needs were temporary at best. The frost is almost totally out of the ground now
and we can FINALLY get things set up the way we really want!
The former owner was into monster trucks and had 'course' set up behind the shop. We were going to flatten it back
out and make it usable. Well, it turns out it is usable, with a few safety modifications, as the ultimate trail horse
training course! Splash loves it, as it takes him back to his Hill pony roots. Boo Boo and Bugsy have mastered it
already. Eddy is convinced it's too much work, or that I'm trying to kill him...
We have plans to do an open house at some point this summer. Stay tuned for details. Don't forget to visit the
