Sweet Pea

2011 bay ISR Sport Pony filly out of the Half-Welsh mare Poplar Meadows Shilo (Welsh-Kelly Acres Tinsel). Star and 3 white socks. Sweet Pea is a very sweet, curious, athletic little gal and has very nice movement with an extremely pretty head and face.  Sweet Pea’s dam is Poplar Meadows Shilo – a 13.2h half Welsh/Arabian pony registered with the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of America (originally from Canada) and approved by the ISR/Oldenburg sport pony registry. Sweet Pea's dam has a wonderful temperament for children, lovely gaits, and is very talented at both dressage and jumping. Sweet Pea's half-brother out of the same dam is a 3 year old premium ISR sport pony stallion prospect who was overall site champion (horses and ponies) of his ISR/Oldenburg inspection. We're guessing that Sweet Pea will likely mature between 13 and 14 hands.  Please see www.bridgercanyonstallionstation.com for additional photos and link to video. (Posted 8/14/12)
