ESKVALLEY TRUE ROMANCE 65602
Welsh Mountain Pony

Merrick (named after one of the southern Scottish hills) as he is known at home, is a stunning Welsh Section A yearling colt. He was born at 9.20pm on the 16th March 2004, in the stable, in the middle of a terrible snow storm!

Nicknamed Meep Meep Merweeek! As he was motorbiking around in the snow as soon as his little hoofs hit the great outdoors at 12 hours old!

Merrick’s sire is the superb medal winning Larapinta Oystercatcher, who stands in Derbyshire and his dam is the cremello Rochedo The Chance (a grand daughter of Springbourne Boy Blue) who was sold to Denmark at the end of 2004

He is full of fun and loves a riot in the field with his best friend Fouroaks Calvin Klein, is an angel to handle, has been worked in hand, bitted and hopefully do some inhand shows in 2006 to educate him further (and maybe win a rosette or two!). He will be broken in once old enough and will be Erin’s L/R and F/R pony.

He is a super friendly, well behaved colt and has loved to have a kiss on the muzzle since he was a few days old.

Mauchline (named after the town, in memory of my dear Grandpa) as she is known at home, was born at 6am on the 23rd of March 2004. She was born a beautiful satin grey and was a very sweet, if not shy foal (that didn’t last long!). She has a real sense of humour and is a real people person, she would follow myself and my dad when we poo picked the paddocks, demanding attention and if not getting it she would try and climb in the wheelbarrow or knock it over!

Just like her dam she has a lovely laid back nature, she has amazing movement and the most unusual colours, her body is now going black/chocolate dun, her mane is black with flame highlights and her tail is black with silver ends!

A great, gentle filly, easy in and out the stable, to rug, catch, lead and load. She could turn her hoof to anything! And has a bright future ahead of her, be it with showing, eventing, jumping, dressage or being a good all rounder.

Having been impressed with Star, Carl and Michelle’s friend Angie has bought Mauchline and she moved to her new home in Balerno in July 2005. She has settled in well and taken everything in her stride, has now been renamed Tiamo. Thank you Angie for giving her such a kind and caring home!

Melody was born on the 30th of March 2004 at 3am, on an unusually mild day for that time of year! Completely jet black with the tiniest of white stars, she is a cracking filly, superb confirmation, with elevated paces and has such a lovely outlook on life.

She has all of her dams fantastic attributes and is a laid back character. Loves people and its almost impossible to get decent pictures of her as she is always wanting cuddles and kisses! She demands attention as soon as you get near her! Is easy to catch, good in and out the stable, leads well and goes in and out the trailer nicely.

Melody has a good amount of bone, she has a naturally good outline and length of rein. She will be destined for the show ring as she loves showing off her fantastic paces to all the other ponies and visitors to the stud. A definite one for the ridden classes at a later date and if she stays at the stud she will be broken in and will contest HOYS qualifiers etc
