(Cefnfedw Golden Glory x Friars Sally)

11.3hh. Welsh Mountain Pony Stallion. Bay with Black points Imported from Wales in 1991 as a foal, William has, in a very short period of time, shown how important it is to have a stallion with presence. William is an extremely kind and gentle stallion, who runs out with his mares or covers in hand.  He is renowned in reproducing his wonderful refined length of rein, gorgeous Welshy head and eye, and fabulous movement. You can, in fact, spot a William foal a mile away! Although not heavily shown in hand himself, he has nevertheless made his mark, winning many championships and awards around Ontario and has subsequently developed a well deserved reputation in producing winning youngstock at major shows internationally. For the last three years William has been high point breeding stallion in Ontario.  His foals for the past five years have virtually swept the breeding classes at the Royal Winter Fair.  Some of his sons and daughters are:
  • Brookside Starry Knight - unbeaten while at Brookside. Now standing at Mary Alice Willams' Madoc Stud, Texas, USA.
  • Brookside Megastar - 1998 Canadian National Exhibition and Royal Winter Fair Grand Champion Stallion as a yearling and winner of the same championship as a two-year-old in 1999. Now standing at Richard and Wendy Staub's farm in Ohio.
