October 21, 2006 American Sport Pony Inspection at Devonwood Equestrian
Center
America Warmblood Registry American Sport Pony Division
North Forks Black Earl passed dressage performance test and completes
his
Performance Test Requirements
Judges Sonja Lowenfish and Nancy Maloney
He received his blue ribbon and now has to complete the remainder of the
requirements, which is the presentation of 10 First Premium registered
foals
by 2008
Is Duly registered with the number: USA008P060596
The Judge(s) can assess the stallion's attitude and temperament when
being
ridden on the flat and judge the level of the stallion's current
training
and performance.
The outline for Performance Testing is contained in the Breeding Stock
Inspection Guidelines for Stallions. A stallion older than five years
that
has applied for registration, completed and passed the total Inspection
and
Performance Test requirements is issued a three-year Temporary Breeding
License. During this 3-year period, the stallion must have sired and
registered 10 offspring scoring a 7 or more at an approved ASPR
Inspection
Site. Once this requirement has been completed, the stallion will
receive
his Permanent Breeding License
What is an American
Sportpony?
An American Sportpony is a pony in the general range of 13.2-14.2 h that
looks and moves like a small horse, capable of competing in the Olympic
disciplines of Jumping, Dressage, and Eventing, as well as in Driving.
It is
not your traditional Thellwell type of pony, but rather is much more
athletic and horse-like in appearance and ability.
The term "American Sportpony" is considered a type, not a particular
breed
of pony (with the exception of ponies of Draft blood being excluded) and
therefore we find sportponies made up of everything from Welsh to New
Forest to Thoroughbred bloodlines.
Movement is paramount to the quality American Sportpony, and that
movement should have great suspension, articulation, impulsion and
elasticity. Therefore, the "hunter type" of pony, especially one which
excels in jumping and has the conformation and "look" the type strives
for, can be considered an American Sportpony.
All ponies accepted into the Registry must undergo an inspection and be
DNA-typed. It is in this way that pedigrees can be documented from this
point forward, even with breeding stock that is currently of unknown
parentage. Stallions accepted into the Registry undergo additional
performance and progeny requirements
An easy keeper, good-natured ready and willing to go, courageous and
intelligent.
July 21, 2006 Note
from Sterling Grayburn, "Not sure if Wendy told you, but
Dante (CS Dante of Earl) is listed in the short list for the World
Singles
Championships in Pratoni del Vivaro, Rome. Not too bad for his first
season
in FEI competition!"

August 5, 2006 Eden
Farm Stallion Parade
Quite a few breeds represented at the parade but none were noticed or
photographed as much as Black Earl, ridden by Berniece and his half
brother CS Zamson, owned and ridden by our son Abram, 16 years old. They
were great ambassadors for the Welsh Cob and crossbred Cob. Zamson is
half-Pinto Arabian and half Welsh Cob gelding. Berniece rode Earl in
English dressage attire and Abram rode Zampson in buck-a-roo western
attire. We witnessed many new Welsh Cob lovers that day after they had
an opportunity to see and meet these two half brothers.
The general character of the Welsh Cob is the embodiment of strength,
hardiness and agility.
The Section D Welsh Cob is a good hunter and a most competent performer
in all competitive sports, in recent years they have had great success
in the
International driving world and the dressage world is taking notice.
Their
abilities in all spheres are now fully recognized throughout the world.
The Welsh Part-Bred
Although the animals entered in all four sections of the Stud Book vary
in
size and substance, all show evidence of their common ancestor, the
Welsh
Mountain Pony. The best inherit the strong constitution, good bone,
courage,
activity and equable temperament that has led to their worldwide renown.
It is therefore not surprising that they are in such demand for crossing
with other breeds, and there is a Welsh Part-Bred Register for horses,
cobs
and ponies whose breeding shows not less than 25% of Registered Welsh
blood. The large Welsh Part-bred has proved an enormous value in most
equine disciplines – show jumping, eventing, dressage and driving.
July 14-and 15, 2006
Emerald Empire Welsh Show We are pleased to say that North Forks Black
Earl and Berniece Pohlmann did a splendid job at the show this weekend
with a championship in English pleasure (a first and two seconds in
their classes) a third in ridden Cob with nine ponies showing. We are
pleased since Earl's breeding schedule has been hot and heavy at home
and believe you me he had his eyes on all the girls and knew exactly who
was in season and whom he just thought was cute! Smile...He behaved
himself like a gentleman although one could see he was keenly aware of
everything around him. We are proud of the fact that he did so well
under saddle since he is still green and learning.
Both judges picked Earl for first place in stallion halter!
On another note, Earl's trainer, Berniece, sees great potential in
him and we look forward to seeing them work more and more together. We
have had several horse people come up and tell us they have never seen
Earl so relaxed and happy away from his own farm and herd.

1/4
Cob and 3/4's Arabian/Pinto. His sire is CS Braveheart whom is 15/16th

utero by Sheila Boyster. She will love this guy even though he did not
turn out to be a black and white pinto filly she was hoping for!

Earl did a very good job at his first dressage schooling show of the

Comments we have gotten from people recently after seeing Berniece
Pohlmann and Earl perform at the past couple Welsh Shows with Berniece
who is 5'9" tall and Earl is 14.2....Berniece has always ridden huge
warm-blood horses before.
"Julie, he looks great - what a handsome stallion and I really enjoyed
seeing him at work. Julie, Earl has so much substance and presence, that
she
looks great on him." Hanna Kirk Sapphire Welsh Ponies and Cobs

"Land's End Adagio" by Carolina's Red Fox
"I think the width and depth of a horse has a lot to do with how they
look
relative to the size of the rider. If the horse is wide and deep, it
doesn’t'
seem to matter how tall they actually measure--they "read" BIG. My
husband
(cattleman) would say the terms were "capacity" and volume. Plus, an
animal
built that way tends to be able to move bigger because their base is
wider;
they can move more easily off of all four corners. (Ex-livestock judging
team people: can you tell I’ve listened to a couple of sets of reasons
now
and then???) Mary Banquo Welsh Cobs
"Oh Julie! Earl looks so very handsome! Congrats on your wins with him!
I
think he looks like he would make a lovely dressage cob! Horses are so
very
sensitive and intuitive... some can do with anyone but it is so right
when
the perfect combination of human and horse meet and show what they can
do...
shine! A better bling than any rhinestone. "
Dayna Turner
"Who is the dressage trainer working with your horses. Recently became
interested in Cobbs after watching a couple fancy movers at the Region 6
championships last weekend (and actually all year at shows) . Thank you
for
reply. Do you have anything around 4-5 years with great movement for
dressage?"
"Your stallion is gorgeous. I really admire your patience in the way you
are
developing your cobs. We are trying to do it similiarly. Rather than
just
selling babies, we are training the fillies--even tho they will be
broodmares--and competing with them in dressage as well as the breed
shows.
We just got our two-year old greenbroke. It would have been really hard
to
wait until she was five. "
"I really want something with the movement and presence
of North Forks Black Earl, man what a beautiful animal!!!! So I'm really
trying to do my homework right now. I most definitely keep in touch."
Lauri
"Julie- These ponies are lovely. It would be helpful if you could send
me a
list of ponies you have for sale. I would like to know age, sire, dam,
and
size. If you have something on the list that might be a fit, I'll
arrange a
visit. Thanks! Sally"
We have had several horse people who know and love Earl come up and tell
us they have never seen Earl so happy. These people are very perceptive
and I know this to be true! Not to undermine some very talented trainers
that Earl
has spent time with before. It has been hard for us to find the right
handler/trainer that had enough time for Earl. He is a very unique and
sensitive stallion whom needed somebody to give him top billing like the
one
of a kind creature he is. We do feel extremely blessed to have found
Berniece a very gifted and understanding trainer whom loves Earl. It is
also
very important for the owner and trainer to have mutual respect. It does
help that Berniece sees not only the athletic potential our stallion has
but
she also loves his disposition and mind. Anyway it is hard to put words
to
how important it is to find the right trainer!!??!! To promote a
stallion in
his very best light takes much time; years of energy, love, work,
planning
and effort is spent to make a stallion shine in his own natural self.
"I would love to see the Cobs you own. As I mentioned, I had an
opportunity
to see Earl at one of the Pony shows two years ago I think. He was still
green but a nicely put together Cob and well presented. He is also
producing nice foals.
My background is in Dressage, (from a more classical tradition) with a
nice
helping of Combined Training. A well educated equestrian I am.
I have been breeding for the last 4 years, and now I want to get back to
riding. I think I mentioned I have a 3 year old Iberian Warmblood who is
going to be too tall for me, I am sadly offering him for sale. In the
future, if the mare I find is a good moving Cob with a great
temperament, I
will consider breeding. I have had enough of the Cobs looking good and
moving so poorly. As the weather gets better, I will look for an
opportunity
to see your Cobs.
Thank you again,
Karen Scholler

May 19, 2006 Got a
note from Florida friends about Earls first two colts,
Duke and Dante whom are out of Pinto Arabian mares we have bred. They
aredoing spectacularly in Combined driving events and we are so proud of
Earl for producing such fine athletes!
"hi julie,
sorry ive been out of touch for a while . sterling and i were thinking
of
moving and have since decided to stay where we are. we have also been
competing in the selection trials for the USEF singles team to go to the
world championships and your baby dante has been kickin' ass !!!! We won
live oak intermediate div in march, then placed 5th at our first
advanced,
then 3rd at our next advanced and winning the marathon over sterling,
Fred
Miriam and Scott Monroe !!! At the national championships, Dante was 6th
out of 23. this was the mandatory selection trial so it was all the
advanced
single drivers in the USA. We won 2 of the 8 hazards and had a great
cones
round. I was standing in the line up looking down the line and realizing
the
only horse who hadn't been on a USEF team was Sterling and Quincey and
they were all seasoned campaigners...at least 3 yrs in advanced and here
is
little 6 yr old dante !!! I would say, one of my proudest moments as a
horse
owner ! We are competing at Bromont in CAN next week and have a good
shot at the alternate spot on the team. I never thought we could go this
far but he is a really trooper and totally honest.
I don't know what your plans are for earl in the future but if you want
to
send him at the end of your breeding season, we will have room for him.
I am
out of breeding altogether and am putting together a 4 in hand with Duke
and
Dante and some of my other horses. lets talk about you breeding another
pair
of duke and dantes. Everyone loves them here on the east coast because
of
their cuteness, size and athletic ability.
I am traveling now so don't have my computer with pics from the horse
show
but if you go to
www.picsofyou.com and look up Allentown or garden state CDE and
click on ying you will see pictures of dante. i have the disk at home
and will send you a copy next month.
We really love the boys...thanks for breeding such wonderful horses. "

named, "Pleasantstone Beracah", Beracah mans blessing in the Hebrew
language so her name fits her perfectly. She is so sweet and gentle from
the time she is foaled…we are so happy and amazed!
The names and their meanings of the five fillies presented to
Pleasantstone
by North Forks Black Earl and out of Mynydd Hir Boneddiges are listed
here:
1)Pleasantstone Halal ( praise God) 2002
2)Pleasantstone Blythe (blessed) 2003
3)Pleasantstone Mirth (Happy filled with joy) 2004
4)Pleasantstone Bronte ( the voice caused by lightning) 2005
and now little 5) Pleasantstone Beracah... 2006
"Hi Julie, She is lovely, she seems to ooze personality! I love the

What is The Ridden
Cob Class?
Because I do not have cobs, I never really paid much attention to this
intricacies of this class other than enjoying the power of the cobs. Now
that there is a pony version of the class, I just want to know what make
this class different than other classes (like EP) other than the fact
that
the animals gallop. I am guessing that there should be more action or
ability or something from the animal, but I do not know. If there is
something special about Ridden Pony, I do not want to turn it into an
English-Pleasure-Plus-A-Gallop class.
So if anyone out there can tell me what makes the Ridden Pony class
unique,different from the English Pleasure classes, I would love to
know???
Basically the Ridden classes, Pony or cob four years and over, are
formatted
as closely to the UK classes as possible. Ponies are required to walk,
trot,
canter and gallop as a class and called in to the judge’s first
preference.
Then they perform an individual show that will show their pony to the
best
ability. This should include a walk, trot, canter on both reins (ideally
on
a figure of eight at trot, a figure eight at canter showing a simple
change,
plus a short gallop halt and rein back. Then the ponies are stripped in
the
ring stood up and run out in hand, re saddled and remounted. Should the
judge then wish to change the order they will ask the class to go back
on
the rail and call them in order of preference. if there is a tie then
the
riding score takes precedence over conformation.
A double bridle is correct for this class and the ponies should go in a
different frame to English pleasure, on the bit with the head at the
vertical and in a more animated fashion, including the walk folks !!!
One more difference is that gaits are requested by the judge via the
ring
steward not the announcer. Also the gaits should follow walk, trot, and
canter rather than walk canter trot.

April 29th and 30th
2006 WELSH SPRING SHOW It was a lovely show...many many thanks to Gary,
Gretchen Akien and family for all the hard work to put this on for us.
It was really good to see the rare and very lovely Highland ponies that
we got to see in the flesh. I was impressed as I am with the nice Fell
and Conamara that were there. I hope that more people bring out
these ponies for the Mountain and Moorland classes they really deserve
some well-deserved recognition. I have never seen a Highlander and
gauged from these ponies this weekend I would like to be seeing more!
I was thrilled that Earl was Supreme Champion but even more delighted
when
judge Haynes gave him a first place in the ridden Cob class which was a
class they have in Wales. He then went on the receive the reserve
Championship in ridden Championship. Shaws High Voltage, (section B)
owned
by Deena Stockdale who showed a new and lovely section B colt was
Champion... we were thrilled since Voltage is out of our beloved section
A
mare, Pruitts Blue Jewell. Jewell and Earl have a pair of section Cs we
own
whom are for sale to a show home...and they can they move...they are
destined to be show Champions as well! My son Wheat (13 yr. old) has
been
riding the three-year-old with a halter and they both follow you around
like
pet puppies...what wonderful dispositions they have. Please spread the
word
about this lovely pair of section Cs
Our North Forks Black Earl also won " BEST in Show" to our great
excitement....although I though this was only in the dog world...I soon
found out that in Wales this is a very popular class...the good judge
India
Haynes gave us a mini clinic after the class to tell us more about how
they
show the Cobs in Europe...so very kind of her to take the extra time to
enlighten us.
We had a great show and I am so thrilled with Earl’s new trainer...
Berniece
Pohlman from Jacksonville Oregon...we have been searching for somebody
like her for years. She is absolutely a treasure, Earl has never been
happier and he is coming along beautifully in her care. We look forward
to meeting more Welsh people this summer and seeing old friends as
well...and I guarantee you won't forget Earls name when you see him as
he continues to muscle up and use himself in the ring! ..smile... this
is so exciting.. Please Forgive my bragging ...

March 2006 BREEDING
SCHEDULE
This is certainly going to be a busy breeding season for Earl. We will
be
breeding several beautiful mares of different distinct breeds this year
so
we will have a very exciting springtime 2007! The mares we are expecting
to
breed are all very lovely and different types including a Morgan,
several
Thoroughbreds, Bashkir Curly, Oldenburger, Hungarian Warmblood,
Trakehner, Quarter pony, Quarter/Arabian cross, Welsh Arabian cross and
a black Mustang from Nevada! It will be interesting to see what the
Welsh Cob, Earl, can do for them??Even though all the mares in the past
have been very good quality all of Earls foals have been an improvement
on the mare, adding substance beauty and athletic ability the oldest
being 8 years old and competing in Combined driving and cleaning up the
ribbons and trophies.
"How tall is he? What is his temperament like? We get many nice letters
and
emails inquiring about Earl now that the Welsh Cob is proving himself to
be
such a valuable cross and improvement in so many areas to so many
different breeds. We are pleased and this is so rewarding for our
efforts to promote a Welsh Cob stallion. We believe in the breed and
know we are helping to produce a sound, athletic equine with a golden
temperament. Let us share a couple of the emails we have received
recently.
" As I said in my first email I am looking at breeding her in two years
time.
So I am gathering as much information about different stallions out
there
that I think would cross well with my mare. I think foremost what I will
be
looking for will be temperament. Of course the stallion should be as
close
to perfection as possible in the conformation and movement area as well!
Anyway, I will eagerly await to see your website when it is up and
running
as your stallion certainly is stunning!"
"Thanks for your response. I fell in love!
Can you provide more information about Black Earl? How old is he? How
tall is he and what do you think he weighs or what size blanket does he wear
(trying to gage his size)? How many foals does he have on the ground?
What
sorts of mares does he cross best with? What would you say are the
characteristic and traits that he passes to his offspring? What is his
stud
fee? Do you transport semen? Can you explain to me if he is approved
(don't
know if Welsh has approvals?), and if so, what did that process entail?
What
are the registration possibilities for his offspring?
I am not too terribly close to you - I am in West Linn, OR. I believe
you
are near Grants Pass, if I have my geography correct? Well, I guess we
are
located closer than someone inquiring from the mid-west or east coast!
Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you and about Black Earl!"

Grants Pass Oregon Equine Fair
" Those are great pictures. Brittany is quite the young rider. I
can't imagine a stallion galloping around an arena with that drape on
him
after only a month of training. You have a wonderful trainer there, and,
of
course, a super stallion. Congrats."
When Berniece first started Earl she put her 12-year-old daughter,
Brittany,a gifted rider, up
on Earl so that he could learn and move more freely without the added
weight
of an adult.
Berniece gave them lessons together...it did wonders for Earl to have
the
young lady giving him loads of affection along with her Mother the
trainer.
At the Grants Pass Equine Horse Fair they did a dressage
demonstration. With Berniece instructing Brittany on Earl with the crowd
watching and asking questions.
This was a month after Earl was with them and before Berniece started
riding
Earl.We had lots of fun and Earl got mucho admiration for his great
disposition.
When Brittany and Earl thundered around the arena the crowd went wild!
March 17-19 2006
NorthWest Horse Expo The purpose of "Stallion Review" is to showcase
stallions of all breeds of equine to both prospective breeders and
equine enthusiasts wishing to learn about each breed. These fine
representatives will be stalled in a designated "Stallion Review" area.
"Review of Stallions" will allow the spectators to see the stallions out
of
their stalls and hear a short 2-3 minute description of the breed and
stallion. Participation in this area will serve as an educational
opportunity to promote your chosen breed to the public.
Earl is in the Stallion Review with Berniece giving her daughter,
Brittany
Pohlmann, (age 12) dressage instruction lessons andthen stripped of tack
to
run free in front of enthusiastic huge crowd to cheer them on. The
gentle
Earl came willingly back to his young trainer after a short time of
showing
off his shiny black muscles at play. Oh how the people loved to see Earl
carrying around young Miss Pohlmann with such grace and kindness to his
young charge and then show off his strength and exuberance in free play!
What a great temperament and attitude Earl has for such a strong
stallion.
What great promotion for the Welsh Cob breed in general.
Feb. 2006 Earl’s first two colts get raves from many great pony breeders
and
many kind folks send us pictures and reports of CS Duke and Dante of
Earl,
owned by Sterling Grayburn and Wendy Ying of Kingsforth stables. Here
are a couple of the nice comments we got.
"There was some stiff completion in the horse and pony pairs."
"Very handsome boys, btw...but then you knew I think their Daddy just
drips
sex appeal...LOL. This was a cool and breezy weekend, so my hat is off
to
anyone who was driving animals at this show. The fact that they were
there
at all is a testament to the temperament and training. "

He really is spectacular! I found a site
by a photographer who had a few shots of him that were just beautiful!
" I am well aware of Earl--he is one gorgeous guy--I have read about him
on
the lists & often admired his photos.... he reminds me a lot of my
mare--Canterbrook Duchess who does have similar blood as she is a full
sister to Earls sire--Canterbrook Llwynog Du. I have enclosed a few
photos
of her so you can see the similarity. Good luck & thanks for the
note--lovely chatting to you."
