...I've
never had a baby like her before. She is into everything and demands
constant attention. She is best friends with the farm goat. If
I'm in the barn cleaning stalls, she has to be involved. She is
very smart and cute and knows it...I think her mother is ready
to find some good daycare. Everybody loves Murphy to pieces, which,
according to her, is exactly how it should be. Piper (April 05)

Yes, we are the proud
owners of Beacon's Kaleigh, a sweet
pony that we bought this past spring for my daughter. Kaleigh
is a true delight and I'm finding I'm falling in love with her
more and more each day. Kelly, my daughter who is 9, absolutely
loves Kaleigh. These days they spend a lot of time together under
the persimmon tree just hanging out together while Kelly knocks
down persimmons for Kaleigh. What a pair! Kelly is not showing
Kaleigh yet but probably will in about a year or so. I'm not pushing.
Thank you so much for contacting us. This is such a wonderful
breed. A breed that I'm definitely sticking with! Cindy (Oct 09)

Teasel 15.0h gray, USEA
ID: 112038 (born 5/18/97)
Bred by Elizabeth Hardison (VA), out of Wildflower's Toshi
Owned by _______, Baton Rouge, LA
Teasel's sire
and dam have both been inspected and approved by the American
Connemara Pony Society.
Riley Raubacher
from Delaware, who has been a working student with Danny Warrington
since June, found herself without a mount for the Seneca Valley
event, and mom Becky said, “Oh, take Teasel [ Kent’s Teasel] and kick back and relax. Teasel
will love going cross country (training) and you know how easy
she is. Have some fun.” At that time, Teasel hadn't been
worked for three weeks so everyone chipped in with trot work during
the weeks leading up to the event. Becky even drove the hour and
twenty minutes each way to North East, Maryland to help trot Teasel.
Conditioning was consistent, just different riders, which was
fine with Teasel.
Off Riley and Teasel went. Dressage was, ah, well, not something
they had worked on so Riley was satisfied with the results. Danny
took Riley to school for stadium, every jump was eaten up like
candy. Riley hadn't jumped Teasel more than a few times in the
past year and rarely more than 2' 6". In she goes to training
level stadium, they pulled their first rail, then Teasel stepped
up and flew high over everything. Cross country was the big delight.
We were able to stand in the observation tower and see almost
everything. The ride looked like so much fun. There was a slight
pause at the water, it did not count as a refusal, and Teasel
climbed over the roll top and down the drop and immediately back
in rythmn through the water and jump out. The ride continued up
banks, down banks, always Riley and Teasel looking for the next
fence.
When they finished Riley had a huge grin on her face. “Did
you see that? Did you see that? A fat snaffle, loopy reins and
double clear. That was so much fun.”

- Eventing at Training Level with Junior Rider, Valerie Tkacs
4th place at Oxbow

Becky Raubacher’s
Kent’sTeasel left St. Timothy's
School in Baltimore and is currently leased by Valerie Tkacs and
training with Danny Warrington. Teasel won her Beginner Novice division at St. Augustine early this spring, placed second in Novice
at the Fair Hill Starter Trials,
and placed sixth
in Training Level at Waredaca
on June 3. Becky says they are very proud of Teasel and Valerie,
as Valerie has only started eventing and Teasel takes very good
care of her, even schooling over a Prelim bank without batting
an eye!
News from Region III:
At the May Shawan Downs (MD) jumper show, Kent's
Teasel won reserve
champion, ridden by Kelly
Young from the Bahamas, a junior at the St. Timothy's School in
Stevenson, MD. Kelly rode Teasel in the 2'3"- 2'6" division.
