Nordjysk Young Stock Show
We only supported the local young stock show with one
entry as the other youngsters were off to their Summer grazing areas. It
was a very well supported show judged by Mr Robert Jones of the
Pontsteffan Stud. Sarkens Waleria was behaving nicely, got a good score
and a 1st premium for quality.
Success for Clausholm Performance Ponies
Katrine and Marie riding Clausholm Jutlandia (Mollegaards
Don Pedro x Greycot Josie) and Stengaardens Dena (Clausholm Dutch Design x
Frisias Nathalie), respectively, are winning 1st and 2nd prizes every
weekend in show jumping and dressage. Very well done!
Stallions at Stud 2010
Due to more room in the calendar Pendock Mantovani,
Telynau Souza and Rhydspence Squire will be available to visiting mares in
2010. Please contact us for further information.
Last Foal Arrived
In the beginning of April Clausholm Duchess foaled a
lovely bay/grey filly. A bit weird to have finished the foaling season at
this time of the year! Photos will arrived asap.

Graded |
In the Autumn we leased Clausholm Viking to Norway. To
be able to use him for breeding purposes he need approval in Norway,
which mean being shown and hopefully graded in Norway. So during the
Winter he has been trained for this grading weekend in the middle of
March. This time in Norway usually means either sunshine or snow, and I
did see both as Saturday was very nice with sunshine and positive
degrees and Sunday was initiated with a minor snow storm!! The team of
judges were Kari Anne Indrebo, Stein Langørgen and as advisor Mrs Gill
Wright for judging the larger ponies - anything except shetlands.
Saturday was a busy day as all the ponies was shown on hard ground,
judged for conformation, loose jumped, vet checked, loose jumped and
performance tested, and you had absolutely no idea of the result in the
late afternoon. Sunday was initiated with another inspection for
confirmation with all the judges invited and finally in the afternoon
the results were known. Viking was graded with very good marks, and he
will now be available for Norwegian mares at the Northwind Stud.
Congratulations to the Northwind Stud and we look forward seeing the
foals next year.

New Arrival...
First sec.A foal arrived in the middle of March - a super
bay/grey filly foal by Pendock Mantovani out of Reekse Hoek Desi.
First 3. Generation Clausholm Foal
Slightly earlier than expected the first foal arrived. As
Clausholm Silica was in Wales last year to be successfully shown by the
Zonneweide Stud she was covered by the Royal Welsh Champion
Paddock
Sahara. The result was visible this week as a super filly foal was born.
Unfortunately, we still have plenty of snow and especially ice so it is a
bit dangerous to take them further than the stable floor. We hope it will
disappear as soon as possible so we can do a few photos of her.
News from Viking and

Clausholm Jutlandia |
We just received greetings from Clausholm Viking (Rhydspence
Squire x Kenwoods Virginia) and Clausholm Jutlandia (Mollegaard Don Pedro
x Greycott Josie), who are out on lease. Clausholm Viking just is in
Norway with the Northwind Stud and is produced for the grading show, which
he has to pass to be able to produce stock in Norway. Passing a grading
for a 4-year-old colt includes a ridden/driven display to certain
versatility of the ponies for breeding. Viking is backed, and is a very
easy ride - like sitting in a sofa - and loves being used is the message!
We are looking forward seeing him at the grading in March. Jutlandia is on
lease to be ridden by Marie, who is quite keen on show jumping and luckily
Jutlandia loves it as well. Marie and Jutlandia will attend their first
competitions in show jumping this Spring, and the we will keep an open eye
for the results.

As always, I would say after more than 10 visits, the
Winter break was held at the Dutch Stallion Show. As usual there is a
large amount of entries and definitely the largest stallion grading show
for welsh ponies in Europe. There must have been around 140 ponies to be
inspected for grading and approximately 60 to obtain a premium. The
ponies are judged with catalogues and by three Dutch judges. First day
all entries for the grading show will be inspected and selected before
being seen at hard ground and a veterinary inspection. The number of
ponies to continue are drastically reduced, e.g. for the mountain ponies
there are 35 entries, 17 passes first inspection and 5 are graded on day
two.
The 3-year-old sec.A Roetsenests Santa Fee (Springbourne
Glide x Nebus Serena) was not only graded but also champion sec.A and
overall supreme champion of the show. Reserve champion sec.A was Shore
Brooks Hot Gossip (Shore Brooks How Ever x Shore Brooks Heaven) who was
among the older ponies to get a premium. The best young sec.B was Lucifer
(Breeton Dai x Cottrell Lucinda) whereas the champions for sec.B was found
among the older Bs. Champion was Wildzangs Golden Mark (Linde Hoeves
Elegant x Wildzangs Roswita) with Bekvelds Dave (Breeton Dai x Woldbergs
Song) was reserve champion sec.B. Among the Cs were no new additions so
the older Belgian owned and bred stallion Dynod Young Dragon (Gwenllan
Guti Goch x Dynod Model) with the Dutch bred Cobmels Synodo Haf (Fronarth
Lucky Strike x Washingpool Hafwen) as reserve. There were only one cob
present, which was not graded so no champions in this section. Several
Dutch riding ponies with approx. 50% welsh blood attended the show and 5
of them qualified for the performance test, which has to be passed before
grading. So no champion was selected, but the pony with the best trot was
Brouwershaven Diamond Hit (Wengelos Ricardo x Felicity). For the "real"
WPBRs the champion was Cindys Chevy TG (Coelenhages Promise x Cindy) with
Good Looking (FS Golden Highlight x Dornröschen) as reserve champion.
As usual there is loads of ponies to look at or judge, and
there is also a chance of disagreement with the judges, but luckily there
is room for the opinion of many, and we will possibly return next year.
Also Snowy Greetings from
Clausholm Viking in Norway
In the beginning of January we got New Years Greetings
from the Northwind Stud, which has leased the colt Clausholm Viking for
2010. He seem to enjoy the cold and snowy Winter in Norway with the WPBR
friend.
Shortly, after this greeting Viking was shown at the New
Year Show. He got a 3rd prize and was awarded a gold medal for quality in
the class for older stallions of all pony breeds. The winner of the class,
the riding pony Magic Dancer H, was also awarded the title Best in Show to
the Northwind stud's Crescendo - congratulations Bitte & Stine.
