NATIONAL CHAMPION
For a very long time, DreamTime Welsh has had a great appreciation for the Goldhills Welsh bloodlines. To say we were thrilled when Goldhills Brandysnap arrived at Daventry Farms in Darwell, Alberta is quite an understatement!
We watched with great enthusiasm as the two offspring of Goldhills Brandysnap arrived in the USA. The first arrival was a stunning chestnut filly, Goldhills Gingersnap. A year later, a stunning black colt – CD Snapdragon arrived. Both cobs are beautiful, with the bone, type and substance we love, and both multiple U.S. National Champions. The only problem we had was our Section D Cob Mare, Goldhills Toffee is a half-sister to Goldhills Brandysnap, so unable to breed to him.
Having a true love and appreciation for Goldhills Brandysnap and seeing the beautiful filly we had out of our Section A mare, Young's Arrest That Flirt ("Rose"), we decided to cross her with Brandysnap. The result ... a fantastic chestnut colt DT Mr. Snaps! "Flash", as he is called at home, is an outstanding mover, with a wonderful personality to match. Flash spent his summer attending the Welsh Shows, behaving like he was born to be in the show ring. Most classes Flash had to compete against the mature stallions, but he did a great job in the ring! With Flash's incredible movement, very quick learning, type and bone, we are very excited to watch this boy grow and learn!

On June 6, 2011 we were thrilled with the arrival of our new Section C Welsh Cob – a full brother to DT Mr. Snaps, Alberta Provincial and Canadian National Champion Welsh Cob halter pony! This flashy youngster is everything we had hoped for, once again with the cross of our Section A Welsh Mountain Pony mare “Young’s Arrest That Flirt” and the fantastic Welsh Section D Cob stallion "Goldhills Brandysnap". With a sire that has won the American Welsh Legion of Merit, three time American National Section D Champion in halter, and many wins in English and Western Pleasure, Carriage Driving, Ridden Cob, Trail and Hunter classes, as well as numerous Canadian titles to his credit, this colt definitely has a strong background of champions!
Jake is a lovely chestnut colt with a large star and 2 hind stockings, flaxen mane and tail. He is already showing the superb temperament and movement of both parents. We have great hopes for the future performance career of this young colt, and are very excited to watch him grow and mature. With so few Goldhills Brandysnap offspring, Jake is certainly one of a few very talented up and coming ponies!

2009 Flaxen Chesnut Sabino Section A Mountain Pony Filly
On March 15, 2009 DreamTime Welsh welcomed our first ever home-bred filly. This filly is everything we had hoped for! She is the spitting image of her dam – same colour and markings. In the movement department, Charm seems to have inherited the best from both parents! We hope to post new pictures and video of Charm in the days to come, so stay tuned! Charm will be retained and added to our show string for 2009. We look forward to seeing this little lady grow, and are very interested to see where her performance career might lead her in the future.
Congratulations to Silk Fox Farm in Florida on the purchase of Charm

2000 15.1 HH Chestnut Section D Welsh Cob Mare
Ruby is from the Menai/Llanarth/Okeden bloodlines. Ruby is a very gentle natured mare, and likes to please. She's quiet, kind, an easy ride, goes in a snaffle and is suitable for a junior or adult amateur rider. Due to a very rough start in life, Ruby had to be completely restarted under saddle after buying her but has proved to be a very fast learner and quickly gained her trust in the rider's hands and seat again. She is now in professional dressage training. She has been shown successfully in-hand and started her under saddle show career in July. Ruby has produced two beautifully tempered cob colts to date.

We are thrilled to hear from Gemara, who purchased our cob mare Ruby last summer. Gemara purchased Ruby without ever seeing her, and recently emailed us to say:
Tracey, my trainer, is very pleased with her...she was very skeptical of my purchasing Ruby before she came and now she just expounds on what a good horse I have, especially now that she has ridden her for a week. She has jumped her and feels there is no reason why we can't start some showing this season...
Ruby did WONDERFULLY today on our very first trail ride.
We are thrilled to hear that Ruby has found such a wonderful home, and that the partnership with Gemara is working out so well. We hope to hear more of their adventures this summer, and how they do on the show circuit!
2004 Bay Section D Welsh Cob Mare
Cusan is a beautiful bay filly that spent her yearling summer travelling and competing at several horse shows. She has been grand champion on the line. Cusan has gorgeous welsh movement, with a phenomenal, floaty trot. She has a very promising future in the performance world. Cusan was part of the Welsh Demonstration Team for the Welsh Breed at the 2005 Masters Tournament at Spruce Meadows. She handled all of the excitement and activity like she had done it many times before! Cusan should mature at 15 HH.
Sold to Julie in Alberta - we wish them much success with their breeding program.

PROVINCIAL CHAMPION
After many months of searching, DreamTime Welsh finally found exactly what we were looking for in a new show pony. Casper is a wonderful pony for the DreamTime kids to learn to jump and compete in the hunter classes. This pony gives the word 'personality' a whole new definition!
It was interesting that after almost a full year of searching for a pony we should find ourselves with yet another Welsh pony. Our search criteria included a correct, good moving pony, suitable for a beginner child, with a solid background in jumping. Breed was not a consideration in this search.
Currently registered as a Half Welsh, Casper is in fact a purebred Section B Welsh pony, standing around 13.2 H. We are very eager to see him in the show ring for 2010 with the very quickly approaching show season!

PROVINCIAL CHAMPION
This gorgeous, flashy pony arrived in Canada from the U.S.A. in early May 2006. We are excited to have found a pony related to Joy, our first Section A Mountain Pony. Rose is Joy’s aunt, and comes from the same old Welsh bloodlines, that include Bengad and Liseter.
We would also like to thank Tracy Dopko of Daventry Farms for helping us in our purchase of Rose. This special pony was partnered with Megan this year at the Welsh shows in Alberta and walked away with many ribbons and Championships. We are excited to have such a wonderful addition to our Welsh family, and look forward to many great things from Rose in the next few years.

May 14, 1999 – March 16th, 2006
It is with a very sad heart that we announce the sudden, tragic passing of our beloved pony, Joy. On March 16, 2006 while returning home from vacation, we were pulling our horse trailer with our 2 young cobs and Joy. A car crashed into us on the highway, causing significant damage to our 1-ton pick-up, and demolished our horse trailer. While the cobs survived the crash with minor stiffness, Joy suffered a fractured spine and ultimately had to be euthanized at the scene.
Joy will forever be remembered by all of our family and friends, but mostly by her real owner and rider, Megan. The love and bond Joy and Megan shared was witnessed by all at the accident scene when Megan said good-bye to her dearest friend. Joy responded to Megan in a way that left no doubt that Joy absolutely loved Megan.
We were further devastated at the loss of the foal Joy was carrying, that was due in just 3 months time. We take some peace in Megan's belief that Joy is somewhere in pony heaven, running free and looking after all the foals up there without moms. Joy was a very special friend to many children. Her kind and gentle manner will be missed.
We love you Joy, and hope you are enjoying the blissful, lush green pastures with no chance of injury and illness. We wish you and your foal well, and know you are in good company in that peaceful place.
Joy is out of the famous Bengad and Liseter bloodlines. She is a beautiful grey mare, and a wonderful children's mount. Joy was shown throughout the summer, and helped her young riders win many ribbons in everything from halter to english flat classes to hunter pony. Joy has been ridden by many children in summer camps, and is a favourite pony for many.

April 24, 2005 – May 5, 2006
Following the recent highway accident that resulted in the death of our Section A pony, Foothills Pride and Joy and her unborn foal, we have had to also euthanize our yearling Section D cob gelding, DT Fascination Spring Surprise. Immediately following the accident ‘Spring’ showed stiffness and soreness as expected. He seemed to be recovering very well.
For the first several weeks following this accident, Spring was able to move well with no noticeably signs of injury. After 6 weeks time, Spring began exhibiting very minor neurological problems, such as an inability to stand square on his front feet, and general frustration and dislike of being haltered. This progressed to increasing stumbling, and a toeing out of his right front leg. Within a few days of the increasing problems, Spring was assessed by two veterinarians, who agreed that the neck fracture had damaged his spinal cord, and there was nothing that could be done to heal Spring. By this point, Spring was unable to balance, and was unsafe to walk near, as he was losing his balance frequently. Spring was barely able to get to his feet when lying down, and could not walk a straight line. Spring was not able to trot without tripping, and falling had become a very real hazard for him.
We cannot describe the sadness we have felt at this new loss. Spring was truly the nicest tempered horse I have seen. He was easy to train, friendly, brave and possessed all the best qualities that the Welsh are known for. Spring was young, but very careful around our young kids, and truly loved the attention he received from all members of our family.
We are comforted by the knowledge that he joins his ‘adopted mom’, Foothills Pride and Joy, and the two will enjoy their lazy days above in peace and good health.
Spring is a gorgeous, strapping young bay gelding with a wonderful personality. He leads, ties, walks, trots and backs in halter for children. Spring spent his first summer with a camp program, where he was handled daily by children. Spring has the bone, type and substance the welsh cobs are known for. He was a Grand Champion colt this summer on the line, and has been trailered, stalled and competed successfully. Spring is expected to finish over 15 HH, as both dam and sire are 15.2 HH.
