Supreme Champion & Reserve Supreme
at the SWA Gold Show, Oct 2007
Gainesville, GA
 
 

We are very pleased, and honored, to report that our young stallion Solstice Blaque Knight was WPCSA National Reserve Champion Cob 2008 (C/D Stallion) as well as double-Grand Champion and double-Supreme Champion in full classes at the recent Pony Palooza in Gainesville, FL

At his two gold shows, one in '06 and one in '07 he has been Supreme Champion twice and Reserve Supreme once in very good company.  Since last June when he won three Supremes in one weekend, under three different judges, he has gone on to acquire four more Supreme Championships.

Blaque Knight also recently won several year-end awards from the Southern Welsh Association for these events:

  • Champion English Pleasure Adult

  • Champion Western Pleasure Adult

  • Champion In-Hand C/D (fourth year for this one)

  • Versatility Award

  • The "You Never Outgrow a Welsh" for Hi-Point adult exhibitor

Needless to say, (but going to say it anyway), we feel so very honored and privileged to be his breeder, his owners, his trainer and exhibitors of this truly wonderful-in-every-way, Welsh Cob stallion. ... and SO proud to say,

BORN IN THE USA!

June 9th, 2007 - at the Connemara Open & Welsh Show

Knighty, now a five-year-old, competed in seven classes to place first in all seven.  He was Supreme in-hand, won two HUGE all-breed Trail classes, and placed first in Western and English pleasure (only one of each was offered) to become Welsh High-Point.

On June 10th at the All Welsh show, he was double Supreme (under two judges) in-hand, English Pleasure Champion and First again in trail. But the fun part was that he made an unexpected debut in the Hunter Division ridden by Dustin Durham, to perform wonderfully his very first time on any jump course anywhere. Much to the entertainment and delight of the spectators, there was lots of whooping and hollering and laughter. Dustin, his rider, said while tacking up and climbing aboard the big black dude, and I quote "WOW, it's like sitting on a couch!"

The 2 photos above were late summer 2004 between
our hurricanes, as a two year old
He now measures over 15 hands
 



 


Here he is, as a yearling (Oct 2003)
 


foaled: Friday, Feb 8, 2002

(we'll be keeping him around!)
 




(Pear trees DO taste good!)


 

Here he is, at 3yrs old, entertaining himself
after breakfast on a beautiful and sunny morning.
After eating he had that certain look in his eye,
and a certain rowdiness about him.
So I went to get the camera and he obliged me
by performing all of his usual antics.
Who says that equines don't use tools!
