Ballytruckle Welsh Cobs

Today we have fabulous dressage rider Bella Small schooling Ballytruckle Kaleidoscope on our sand pit. Welsh cobs decorate the paddocks behind and a winter rainbow illuminates the scene.

Well I finally got out riding a horse. Here is me Carolynn West, hubby Steve West and son Conor Lee West all riding Ballytruckle Welsh cob partbreds. It was a childrens hunt and we followed around having a special day whilst Conor Lee West was visiting on his birthday week.

Im riding Ballytruckle Rolls 9yo who is 75% Welsh cob and 25% tb by Cwmkaren Beaufort Express (imp) out of Ballytruckle Rosheen (SOD Mill Creek Valiant). Rollie Pollie is a funny guy, cheeky, but safe as a house, hes a really cool mix of tb and Welsh cob and can move off when you want.

Steve West was riding Ballytruckle Riley 19 yo 50% welsh cob 50% tb. Riley is by Mill Creek Valiant X Rookley Rose (SOD Valuta) so tons of black type in her pedigree, a very fine b***d mare. He has a stone bruise which explains the boots on back feet.

Conor was riding his old nemesis, Ballytruckle Sally Gap, shes an 18yo 50% Welsh cob 50% Tb being by Mill Creek Valiant and out of Star (SOD Indian Ore), Conor Lee West loved every minute and we enjoyed having wonderful family time on horseback.

13th June 2021 Niamh rode Ballytruckle Rolls, 3/4 Welsh cob 1/4tb, by Cwmkaren Beaufort Express (imp) out of Ballytruckle Rosheen, in his only class- the 90cm at Papatoetoe PC SJ Winter series.

He has had several months off since the end of SJ season in March when HOY was cancelled. He has spent recent nights midweek under lights, helping Tegan Macnab canter after a knee injury, as well as getting me back riding.

Well Niamh rode him in the 90cm and was giggling and laughing in the warmup cos hes just such a delight to ride, a real jolly character, so she said to me ""Mum Im going to give it a go and win this one."" Guess what...she did!! by 0.6 seconds

Heres a link to the video of Rolls' 90cm round. https://photos.app.goo.gl/1jYfTKcTxPzZtGX48

Ballytruckle Dana who is a 50% Welsh cob and 50% Thoroughbred mare, by Cwmkaren Beaufort Express (imp) and out of Diamond 2001, who has Zerpour and Shirley Heights as sire and dam sire. - was also ridden at same show after several months resting in paddock. Niamh schooled her around an 80cm class to come 8th place, surprisingly, as Niamh took wide schooling turns.

Ballytruckle Kaleidoscope purebred Welsh cob mare, who Niamh has been hunting this season, did 2 pony SJ classes unjudged. She is by Cwmkaren Beaufort Express (imp) and out of Ballytruckle Alexandra Rose.
