We had Bard for 25 of his 26  1/2 years. Bard was a unique stallion ...... very intelligent and extremely athletic.
When the girls were young they would play in his stream, along would come Bard and stand in the deepest part pawing and splashing until all were soaked. When he heard our truck coming down the road he would run to greet us. Bard was also very full of himself, at shows he trumpeted to anyone who passed his stall and would stand on his hind legs to improve his view of surrounding stalls, he was quite the show off. As quiet as he was at home, away he was high spirited and audacious, and always looking for fun. One time he got loose at a show which was fun at first, but when he realized that he didn't know where to go he ran to an empty stall, stuck his head inside and waited for someone to rescue him. Sara, eight at the time, was the closest ..... a man said to her "watch out little girl, wild stallion". She said "he's my wild stallion", walked up took the reins and led him back to his stall.
We can never express how grateful we are to Mollie Butler and GlanNant Farm for giving us the opportunity to spend 25 years with this outstanding 'character', we  will miss him always.

Our Bard daughters are being started under saddle, and will be bred to our newly acquired Section B stallion Clanfair Eclipse. Eclipse is a Champion in halter and has been started under saddle. He is linebred Criban Victor from some of the best halter and performance stock in the United States. Eclipse is true to the Welsh Breed Standard.
