Black Birch Sunshine
Quarter Pony Mare - 13.1 Hands

Sunshine is one of those ponies that everyone comments on when
they see her.  Her beautiful gold color is just icing on the cake -
her personality is what wins them over!  Sunshine has a beautiful
2007 filly sired by  Doncardeb Mr. Pete, a gray Section A Welsh
stallion, pictured on our young stock page.

"Ashley"
Foaled 4/27/07
Sired by Doncardeb Mr. Pete (aka Major) - Section A Welsh
Out of Black Birch Sunshine

We knew Sunshine and Major would make a wonderful cross and we were not
disappointed!  Ashley inherited the best from both parents, including their
colors!  She received the cream gene from Sunshine and the gray gene from
Major making her a palomino going gray.  Watch for updated pictures of
Ashley as she matures and changes color!
Gateway Ranch's Spring Daze
Section "A" Welsh Pony Mare  No:  A48518
Foaled:  3-24-2006
Sire   MT Ridge King        Dam  Cat Creek Daze Spring

Spring is chestnut, going grey (heterozygous) with 4 white
stockings with an elaborate facial marking! She has an exotic
Arabian style dished profile with a small muzzle and big kind
eyes. She has had a late start in life, so is just now beginning
her ground work and is coming along nicely. Spring is very
inquisitive and shows a lot of interest in people but is a little
shy.
