Fox Cry Nicodemus
Itish Tulip Show Double Supreme Champion

We decided while Nick was home we would sneek him off to a few Welsh shows. We took  him to the Irish Tulip show. I of course asked Hershel to show him for us and what a wonderful job he did.  Nick was supreme under  Kathi Lindholm and Tina Beamer. A huge Thank you to those Judges!  We think they did an awesome job.  To our friends Hershel and Karen thank you so much for all your help and to all those people who cheered him on. Nick will be going to the Maryland State Fair on the 29th of August and will be in the expert hands of Hershel.  Please come out and cheer them on! A great big hand for Rob and Thea of Irish Tulip for going above and beyond and putting on such a nice show.  Thanks for all the hard work you guys  do so everyone can gather points.  (Except me Thea who just went for fun!)  Fun we had!  There were so many nice ponies there. Hope to see everyone at the State Fair !  Keep in mind this boy covered 24 mares live cover and one the day before this show.  He has been a busy boy!!!!!!!

Maryland Pony Breeders 2008 Surpreme Champion

We have had a very exciting July.  Elly brought Nick home to cover his last 4 mares for 2008 and we decided to take him to Maryland Pony Breeders show.  It was a great show! Nick was Supreme Champion under Judge Connie Moore. Nick had a huge cheering section.  Thank you everyone who came out to see and cheer Nick on! The Grand Champion class was great Nick's filly Westwood You Wish owned by Dena Radosevic and Margaret Ragan won her class under both Judges and was Jr Champion filly under Judge Connie Moore  so in the Grand there stood Nick and you Wish.   We had so much fun!

Fox Cry Raindrops on Roses

June  2008 has been busy so far. Bel Air Welsh Classic was a great start.  Rose was named Champion and Reserve Champion Section B mare.
Penn-Mary Del Champion and Reserve Champion section B Mare . I schooled Rose for her Western classes  , (as you all know) NO ONE! rides my Western Pony (except me) . Joyce Heinz is the only other person I trust with my Western Mare I decided to have her show Rose.  They looked Amazing.  I am always riding and can never see how good she looks.  This pony is such a blast!  She loves to work. She gives her all. I just love this pony. Joyce had a blast! We can't thank her enough for the beautiful ride. (we know it is all the pony) but she did have to get the buttons right.  Thanks to the whole crew here at Westwood Welsh.  Now for the breed class photos.

Rose and Hershal

Westwood Welsh would like to thank everyone that made this show so successful. Hershal and Karen, they always do an awesome job with Rose.   Rose and Hershel click together so well, and when the Beautiful Farnley mare picked up the other Championship Karen stepped in and was quite the showman. The Amazing braiding of Suzie Weigand.  How she does it I will never know. She had a better idea of our classes then we did. We came in the next morning and like magic she was all braided and looking (yes amazing).  We must also thank Joyce Heinz for many years I have had Joyce braid, show in hand, this was the first time she ever sat on Rose.   And what do we get.........Champion!   Now for my girls that I just don't know what I would do without, Kayleigh Fretwell , Sammantha Tompkins,   Lindsay Smith,  Cheyanne Bigley. A huge congratulations to Emily Smith she took our Rose into the English Pleasure division placed 6th in working, stake It was Emily's first show ever!!!!!!!!!! Great Job by all !!! A huge thank you to all that came out to see our girl go! Thanks for cleaning all that silver too Bev~I am so sorry if I messed up the spelling on anyones name. A huge  thank you to Janice Thompson for most of the beautiful photos on our website.  Janice takes the most beautiful photos ever..........except the home page shot of Westwood Wish my very favorite photo done by Kathryn Southard.

Mia

May has been a great month for Westwood Welsh.  We took our beautiful Westwood Unforgetable (Mia) to the yearling filly class at Devon.   Mia made the top 10.  We were so proud of her.  Mia has always had her buddy Westwood You Wish to show with and this time she had to be a big girl.  She handled it like the show pony pro.  We all just love Mia she has the greatest disposition. We are very proud of her.  Here are some photos we would like to share.

November 2007
So much news to report.
The last two months were a blur, they went by so fast.
Nick and Elly started off in Raleigh NC with a bang.
Nick won his breeding class and all of his undersaddle classes.
Southern Hospitality Breed show in GA was next.
Nick scored a 77 in hand, won his undersaddle, and Materiale and the Championship.
Dressage at Devon was the last show of the season. Dressage at
Devon is about the last place you will see a 12.1 hand pony showing but if you were there what a wonderful thing it was to see.
Nick and Elly lit up the ring.
They placed top 10 in each class shown.  WOW!
We had the honor of
Bettina Drummond
and
Elly Schobel

in the
Get of sire

Breeders Group
We placed 9th in the Breeders group.
The girls were a real hit.
