Blaenllain Doodleba (Bart)
Blaenllain Doodleba (Bart) is approximately 14.3hh Bay
Stallion born 06 April 2002. Bart is registered Welsh Part Bred WPBA
7224 & Part Bred Arab 0352/2003. His Dam is Blaenllain Doodleberry
(WPBR 15975) Dam Sire: Old Lucky (TB) Sire: Ali Nebal. See Barts Competition Record.
Bart was the first foal out of our much loved mare
Doodle. The aim was to breed a versatile horse that would be able to do
a variety of disciplines. We also felt that you can invest a lot of
time and money in competing so we wanted to have the option of doing a
variety of classes at County and National Shows.
After looking at many stallions throughout Wales we
decided to put Doodle to the Pure Bred Arab Stallion 'Ali Nebal' . The
following April produced a bay colt 'Doodleba'.
 Mother
and son went on to do better than we ever imagined. The high point
being when Bart was crowned Junior Male Champion at the 'Welsh Pony
& Cob Society Centenary Show', which was a big achievement for a
foal.
Bart has since gone on to win at County and National
Level Shows as a Part Bred Arab, Part Bred Welsh, Show Hunter Pony,
Hack and Riding Horse Youngstock & Stallion Classes. On his first
outing as a ridden horse he was champion ridden Welsh Part Bred and was
awarded the WP&CS performance medal.
 Bart
has an amazing temperament and is so easy to handle you wouldn't know
he is a stallion. He had been bought up as a gelding and lives and
travels between mares with whom he has full nose and head contact. He
is also turned out daily in a field next to geldings and can often see
mares across the paddock. He did have a Section A as a field companion
but we were getting concerned that the Section A kept on beating Bart
up, (not good for his image). Bart was broken in during spring 2006,
and as expected he was exceptionally easy and very laid back to do. He
has been used as the sensible escort to ride out with just backed
youngsters (mares & geldings).
On his first outing as a ridden horse he was champion
ridden Welsh Part Bred and was awarded the WP&CS performance medal.
He was also placed in major shows in both Ridden and In-Hand Classes
during 2006 season.
