Due to personal time constraints Thomas had a very slow introduction to the show ring. In season 2006/2007 he was only shown in limited outings and often without the preparation he should have had, but stud commitments were unrelenting and demanding especially with the addition of the worst drought in recorded history.Then of course in season 2007/2008 Equine Influenza has meant that Thomas has had an extended holiday and is only catching a few shows at the tail end of the season..

Nevertheless, when shown, Thomas has more than held his own against fierce competition in the show hunter ring. he is a magnificent example
In December 04 (as a 4yo) he became Champion Led Galloway and Champion Led RP Show Hunter at Kilmore Ag Show. In his next outing, the Victorian RP Classic (February 05), he was the Runner-Up Led Riding Pony Show Hunter of the Year.

At the Riding Pony Pageant in November 2005. Under highly respected judge Mr Tony Oliver-Watkins he was sashed first as best Led Riding Pony Show Hunter from a class of 14. He then went Champion Led Show Hunter and finally stood as Supreme Led Riding Pony Show Hunter. Mr Tony Oliver-Watkins said Thomas would do as well in England against the British bred Show Hunters.

This was repeated when under English judges at the 2007 Vic. All Welsh in January 2007, he was Champion Led Show Hunter. Mr. John James, the judge, said like he looked like a wonderful horse to ride. Then at the Welsh National Show in March 2007, he was sashed as National Champion Ridden Show Hunter under an English judge with Reserve Champion going to Belaradah Stud's current EFA National Show Hunter POTY. The judge Rob Jones commented that both his champions would stand up to any of the best English Show Hunters. He also said both were true show hunters.

Thomas was also very successful in that season in being shown as a show hunter at the agricultural shows.

This is the 4th foal from Beauparc Poetry. Her full sisters, B. Parisienne and B.Panache are already royal winners and Sami will prove herself in the same genre. An incredibly brilliant moving, elegant galloway, she has as her grandsires both Rotherwood Acrobat and Rotherwood Windswept.

Sami was broken in as a 2 and a half year old then turned out. She returned to work in late 2005 and started her show career, immediately picking up a good number of champions both led and ridden in limited outings. Beauparc was immensely excited with Sami, she had tremendous scope and promised to be one of the best show galloways of the year showing incredible potential in the short time she had. But was then unfortunately loaned to a Queensland home early in 2006.

She returned to Beauparc in August 2006, and will now be retained by Beauparc as a brood mare who will pass on her brilliant qualities to her foals and is to be covered in Spring of 2008.

Sold to a very excited new owner at Wyngara Stud in Gippsland, Victoria. Beauparc hopes that Anna goes on to win up big for her new family in the very near future.

black/brown filly, foaled 2005, 13.3.3/4hh, will mature big galloway.

This is Beauparc Poetry's 6th foal and the first time she went to an outside stallion. And the merit of the dam is reflected in Anna who is by the Welsh B stallion Fairlight Acres Exquisite.

We were delighted to see she would mature galloway but in measuring her at the start of March 2007 and seeing she is already knocking on the door of going galloway, it can fairly safely be predicted that Anna will mature to big galloway.

She is a delightful yearling filly showing a lot of promise that should see her match her sisters, B. Parisienne and B.Panache having already already proven themselves with royal wins and Anna has the potential to follow them with her rich black/brown colour and sweet nature. She's expected to make another brilliant moving, elegant galloway carrying the Beauparc name.

Jazz has gone to a very happy new owner in Bega NSW. Look out for jazz as she starts her show career.

bay filly, foaled 2005, Reg: RPSBS (Eligible part welsh, ASPA & ARP)

This is Beauparc Finesse's first foal and Cherrington Damasus' second. A very pretty foal, she matured into a lovely yearling and is now is most impressive as a two year old.

She is showing a lot of quality that will make her an ideal show pony, and she should mature to 13.2 hands. Truly representative of both her riding pony and welsh backgrounds. She will do well in the Riding Pony ring, as a part welsh and she is eligible to be registered ASPA and ARP.

These latest photos were taken in November 2007.

She has a lovely conformation with extravagant movement as well as a sweet nature and is a very easy pony to handle. We are looking forward to seeing her making her mark on the show scene.

If you like Jazz, well look out for her full sister Rose Gold. She is the most stunning chestnut, with flaxen mane and tail as well as 3 white socks and a gorgeous blaze. At the yearling stage, Rosie is as impressive as her sister. Her foal photos do not really do her justice and she can be seen in the foal section. Look out for her yearling photos shortly.

Sophie is the 5th foal from our Royal winning mare Beauparc Poetry. She is a full sister to Beauparc Parisienne and Beauparc Panche who are already royal winners and she is another in what is a most successful crossing. She has both Rotherwood Windswept and Rotherwood Acrobat as her Grandsires.

She is a delightful filly, very pretty and correct in her confirmation and has extravagant straight movement.

She has just recently been sold and is starting her show career with her new owners.

Chelsea has gone to a very happy and welcoming home in NSW

Chelsea was shown led and under saddle in season 2006/2007 in limited outings. She is an absolutely beautiful pony and is a stand out with her stunning colour. A very pretty, big moving pony, she has it all including a sweet nature.

Some of her wins include 1sts and Reserve Champions at Bendigo; Champion Ridden Pony at Tullarmarine; 1st and Reserve Champ Newcomer at Shepparton Ag Show; 1st & Res Champ Riding Pony Newcomer at Benalla Ag Show; won all her classes at Kyabram Ag Show; Res RP newcomer at Euroa Ag Show; 1st Ridden Newcomer Pony Heathcote Ag Show; Champ Ridden Open Pony Newcomer, Champ Ridden RP Newcomer & Res Champ Ridden Pony at Kilmore Ag Show and came 4th in her Ridden RP Newcomer Class at the Melbourne Summer Royal

Chelsea is a full sister to 3 other Newcomer POTY winners, and she will make her mark as well. She has barely hit her stride yet, and will carry all before her in times to come.

Sebastian is a most attractive pony that has all the attributes to make a top show proposition. An attractive and rare dapple brown, he is beautifully marked with two white hind socks and a beautiful blaze.

He has a beautiful turn of front, great movement and will absolutely make a top small open pony. Also with the potential to become a leading rein and first pony prospect. His nature is exceptional. And now broken in and ready to be shown under saddle, the problem is to find a rider so he can strut his stuff.

He was supposed to start his show career in 2007, but with EI causing the cancellation of most shows in 2007, he will probably be held over to season 2008/2009 so he start as a genuine newcomer.

He is a delightful pony and had been going beautifully with a child rider and presents himself with a wonderful style that would suggest look out for me when I start my show career.

Dale is by our Welsh B Stallion out of Ebony. He surprised us as we thought that with a dad who was 12.2 we would be getting a small edition but the leggy colt we recieved was delightful. Measuring over 14 hand already he will easily mature to big galloway, maybe more.

Dale suffered a reversal of fortune when at 6 weeks we lost his dam to a twisted gut and he ended up on the bucket, but as can be seen he isn't and never got a 'poddy belly" as Lib was very dilligent and got up at all hours through the night to see her babies never went hungry and they were not without a feed until about six months when they were getting too fat and had to be dropped back.

We have to say all that all the reputation the welsh have for having a beautiful temperament runs true in Dale. Right from birth he was delighful and even after losing his mum he was the ultimate sweetie, and he never was or is a handful. We can't wait to see what a saddle propect he will make.

And it will yake an incredible offer to make Beauparc part with him, after all he is unique, as without Ebony he cannot be replaced although our Mia is trying. In fact all the Danny foals can't be faulted for temperament. And we would have loved to leave him an entire but he would have been only riding pony approved and thereby limited for stud work.

Dale will be broken in over the winter of 2008.

James was the most exquisite foal, and there was no hesitation to give his father's name with the Beauparc brand.

Though he did have to do it tough when he was delivered unexpectedly. And while we don't know what happened exactly, except there must have been an electric fence involved. The trauma of that, and with his mother being a maiden mare, she didn't bond with him and wouldn't accept him when we tried to bridge the gap. In fact he was called James, because like 007, he survived an amount of deadly encounters without getting a scratch.

So began Beauparc's first experience of having to bottle(bucket) feed a baby. Who was the more traumatised, him or Lib, who found herself on 3 hourly feeds and all while keeping up full time work as well. (She works from 3pm to 12pm. So ringing hubby or family to ensure they were doing their bit then taking over as soon as she was home. (Yes, she was a walking zombie for many weeks. And had her hands full serving mares as well as everything else.)

But the stunning foal that developed was worth all the trouble. The darling Nattai Ariel came on board and played foster Mum and taught him how to be a pony (though he did spend an awful amount of time on her back pretending he was a colt.) It wasn't till Dale lost his Mum that he got alternative company, and there was a determination he wouldn't be spoiled by the hand feeding and all his admirers wanting to play with him. Neither did Lib let him develop a 'poddy' belly but kept up with lots of feeds and when he started on hard food there was never an empty feed bin till the babies started getting too fat.

Probably our most expensive foal, (it's better not to think how much he cost to get to this point) but isn't he worth it. He is expected to make an up to height pony or even galloway as he measured 13.1 on the 18th of March 2007. And he has the best movement of allthe foals (and they can all move), but he is so light over the ground and has elevation to spare. (so look out showies in season 2008 - 2009)

This boy is really special, otherwise how can he have such an eventful life without ever taking a backward step. And as he grows up he is showing that he truly deserves his name. James will be broken in during Winter 2008.
