Winner of 32 Championships in 2003!!! Photos Fall 2003 at 2 years old
Mardi is a truly breathtaking pony and we are so thrilled to own him. He is maturing so well, and is every bit as spectacular as we had hoped for. He has a lovely, balanced body with a short back, great shoulder, and a terrific hip. His gorgeous, well shaped neck goes on forever, and he has an absolutely exquisite head with tiny ears and width between his large eyes. He exudes presence and Welsh type. His movement is very free and from the shoulder, with little knee action and he uses his powerful hindquarters to their best advantage. He floats out there when he moves -- just a joy to behold. His wonderful disposition is very important to us, as we value that very highly in our breeding stock. And his beautiful golden color is just icing on an already spectacular cake!!!Photo at 2 years

Some notes.....
*Wedderlie Mardi Gras is shown "all natural". What does that mean?
- The "National Championships" that *Wedderlie Mardi Gras have won are cumulative awards, based on the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of America points system, for points accrued during a given show year. The National Championship is also known as a High Score Award, and is not just based on one show.
- Mardi Gras was also National Champion in 2003, as a Junior, with National High Score placings on the years in between, with limited showing.
- No neck sweating -- ever.
- No shoes to change his movement -- ever.
- No "creative trimming" or leaving his toes long to enhance his movement -- ever.
- Nothing to "enhance his performance" -- ever. In fact, he was randomly drug tested at three different shows in 2007. :-)
- What you see with Mardi is exactly what he is. If you like what you see, you can be assured that that is precisely what he is, looks like, and how he moves. We try and provide photos from every angle possible so that you may be assured of exactly what he is..... QUALITY.... from every angle.....
- Quality is passed on genetically, gimmicks are not!
Mardi is available at stud to a limited number of mares (all breeds) in 2008.
Limited bookings available.
See Stallion page for more information.
