Supreme Champion *Bengad Lynden (Bengad Cockscombe X Bengad Lacecap) This handsome bay stallion was purchased from the Bengad Stud in the UK. We chose Lynden for his exceptional bloodlines, as he is a grandson of Coed Coch Saled and Bengad Nepeta. The Bengad ponies are famous for their excellent Mountain Pony type and wonderful dispositions. Lynden possesses these qualities, as well as the presence and charisma that will simply take your breath away. Lynden's foals have been outstanding movers, with lovely necks, and wonderful dispositions. Stud Service Available AI or Live Cover Private Treaty

Reference Sire *Springbourne Boy Blue (Breachwood Marwyn x Barton Bluebell) *Springbourne Boy Blue has now returned to Northwind Farm in Toronto, Canada. Left is *Springbourne Boy Blue at age 24 (photo credit: P. Cochran). *Springbourne Boy Blue has sired many champion hunter ponies, including winners at Devon and the 2007 USEF Green Hunter Pony Champion, What-A-Bean. "We fell in love with *Springbourne Boy Blue's outstanding progeny through the many Section A winners we have seen at the Royal Welsh Show over the years. Many times we had marked our catalogue with our favorite Mountain Pony winners and saw that they were sired by Springbourne Caraway and out of daughters of *Springbourne Boy Blue. (Springbourne Elly, Mynyddtarren Habanera, Vervale Gabbana, to just name a few). Wishing to cross those same bloodlines, in 2003 we imported the lovely *Springbourne Crista, a Caraway daughter. Leasing Boy Blue for the past two years as completed our goal of duplicating that "golden cross". Crista and Blue have given us a lovely filly, Caris Crystal Blue (aka "Salsa") and a stunning colt, Caris Celtic Blue. We also are pleased beyond words with our 2008 filly by Blue, Caris Shades of Blue (aka "Taco"). A liver chestnut, Taco is the image of her maternal grand dam, the late Supreme Champion *Verdrefawr Caris. Thank you to Prue Richardson, Northwind Farm, Toronto, Canada, for entrusting us with Blue's care for the past two years. His legacy will live on through our Caris ponies for many years to come."
