*    6th of October 2008.

We had to make an hard decision, our beautifull and already 26 year old mare Shamrock Sun-Flower "v.Keur ELITE", went so Ill that we had to make the hard decision to let her put down.

Shamrock Sun Flower
Shamrock Sun Flower "v.Keur ELITE"
1982 - 2008

Since my dad saw Sun Flower as a foal, next to her very admirered dam Bolster Sorb-Apple, he tried to purchase her from her breeder, Henry Leeuwenhaag. Then as a 5-year old Henry Leeuwenhaag gives us the change to purchase her, to become the wife of our Royal Welsh winning Stallion Shamrock Mr Oliver. This resulted in her first foal, the colt  Wildzang's Sandor.

Sun-Flower has given us:

*    6th of September 2008, Int. Show in Almkerk.

We had a brilliant day at the International Welsh Pony Show in Almkerk, under Judge Gillian Sells of the well known Priestwood Stud in the UK.

We took the mare Wildzang's Rosita with her filly foal Wildzang's Golden Dream, by our very succesfull Stallion Wildzang's Socrates. And the 3-year old colt Wildzang's Royal Prins.


                                            Wildzang's Golden Dream                                                                   Wildzang's Golden Dream

  1. Wildzang's Royal Prins, started the day and became 1st in his class of 3-year old section B ponies.
  2. Wildzang’s Golden Dream, went 1st in the filly foal class, and became Foal Champion section B.
  3. Wildzang’s Roswita, became first in her class.

            The Champion ships started. Prins went on to become Reserve Youngstock Champion section B.
            Roswita went in a close race, Reserve Adult Champion.

            Golden Dream went for the Highlight, she became Overall Supreme Foal Champion. Gillian Sells told us, that if it had been possible according to the rules, she was defiantly a big competitor in the Championship section                 B!!. This like her half sister, Stougjeshoeve's Dream of Glory, (both by Wildzang's Socrates) last year at the same show under Merion Davies of the Heniarth Stud.

            Golden Dream had an super show season. 4 times shown, 4 times 1st, 3 times Foal Champion and 2 time Overall Supreme Foal Champion. So she did really what we hoped when giving her this name !!
