Pedigree???
My friend has gotten a training horse in that is a full TB that is Buckskin. She is probably one of the most correct TB mares I have seen in a long long time. I think you need her Bill. She is a line horse for sure. I would snatch her up in a NY minute for my breeding program but I am horse poor at the moment and don’t need an additional mare.
I am ridiculously proud of my Buckskin Connemara pony. The hunter trainers seem to love her, so I hope to possibly find a pony jockey for her next year. She is by the previously mentioned MGRM Brigadoon, who has sired a number of Buckskin offspring that are nice hunter type ponies (although most end up with people eventing them). He comes from the Custusha’s Castle Rock line, who was a champion in the hunters and jumpers himself.
Sadly I just learned this past weekend that Birgadoon is now infertile 
Anyway, I’ll take opportunity to post a picture of my pony 
I was never a big fan of buckskin’s or Connemaras, but now I am.
I have a beautiful 3 YO “dun” by *Gunsmoke out of Blackpoints Lotty Go Bragh. She should be for sale but she reminds me so much of an old mare I lost I haven’t advertised her. I don’t know if she’ll stay pony though.
Don’t blame the Irish for misnaming the color. They called it Sean Bui until the Britts made them stop using Gaelic.
Sara McCormick in Aiken, Orchard Hill Farm breeds quite a lot of them, she has a pally welsh/tb as well as a welsh stallion, ( amongst some other really nice more regular coloured stallions) and also loves the buckskins etc.
www.orchardhillfarm.com is it, I believe
OMG, cutest ponies ever! Makes me almost wish I had a kid…
We have at least one buckskin, palomino or smoky black each year…but it’s not on purpose Two of our pony hunter broodmares are palomino, so it’s inevitable that we will end up with a dilute at some point. Our one broodmare has thrown the cream gene every year. She’s also a sabino, so we’ve had some lovely marked foals. Here’s our latest colt that has been left intact. He’s won successfully at the Welsh shows and Sport Pony shows…but will be a few years yet before he steps into the hunter ring. He was born a buckskin sabino but is turning grey.
In my opinion, you don’t see as many dilutes winning in the hunter ring because there just aren’t that many out there. (especially in the Welsh breed, I think a lot of the dilutes also end up with the grey gene)
My daughter’s pony is a gorgeous Palomino Welsh “Marzipan”, by one of Glenhaven’s stallions. She is in training for the hunter ring. Not there yet though. Just love her, she is gorgeous.
My new baby is by Mardi Gras, out of a very nice appendix mare. Buckskin, no white on his legs (my special request) and a star.

I sorta have “palominos”. They are very flaxen and give the impression of palomino but aren’t. I tend to like them better because the color contrast is greater.
I currently have the below Welsh mare (jumping) in foal to the stallion shown.
The next photo is a six year old large pony sired by the same stallion.
I have had a dun (buckskin) Connemara stallion standing for a number of years now. Although most of the mares he’s been bred to have been TBs or warmbloods with an emphasis on eventing, he has produced a couple of nice hunter type foals out of smaller mares. He’s on my website, the only Connemara stallion I now have.
I also purchased a 2 year old Section B Welsh stallion this year that will be standing next year, so recently I do not even have photos yet. Palomino, 4 white stockings, blaze, sired by Benlea Rambler out of Benlea Firefly.

I’m hoping we will get photos by the end of the month. My ‘video pasture’ is also the ‘foaling pasture’ so is currently unavailable for photography.
I purchased him to cross to my bigger warmblood and warmblood cross mares for my sportpony breeding program but am told, with his breeding he should be capable of producing hunter prospects. That is not my area of expertise at all, so will be interested in any feedback I get from the hunter pony people.
Haflingers
Haflingers are actually not true palominos but are “light chestnuts”; however, for all intensive purposes, our girl and her son look Palomino to me. Pazia is a 13.2 hand Haflinger who jumped up to 3’9" with our working students. She jumped a coffin her first time ever on a X-C course, and she is a lovely mover.
She never evented because we bought her as an 8 year old, fat and unbroken, out of a field for a lesson program we later blitzed, and I am 5’9. Sold all the ponies except her. She was pretty blase about the whole riding thing until she saw her first jump, and it was love at first site…:lol: We had students ride her in a novice level clinic with Kim Severson and a training level clinic with Jim Wofford who both loved her. She was the only horse in Jim’s clinic who got every exercise right the first time while making horse striding. She is point and shoot. She has a yearling colt (soon to be gelding) by the super German pony stallion Voyager who sadly (as far as I can determine) is no longer being imported, and she is due next year to Ridely which we are very excited about. Can you tell we are in love with her???
She is the only pony we breed.
I took this video with my phone last night of my palomino Welsh (Section B) filly. She’s 5 weeks old. And will NEVER be for sale! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWnnBEZ2LaQ

Fix him a nice dinner and a big glass of wine! LOL ;)[/QUOTE]
LOL! If your husband is like mine, he now says “I think you promised that on the LAST horse, and the one before that.”
Scott Stewart has imported several over the last few years. One in particular, Losander’s Camelot has done extremely well, placing high at Devon, Pony Finals and Indoors. He has at least two more, Mustang Sally and another who’s name escapes me right now. I believe the three I mention are GRP.
When my mom started to get into welsh ponies back in the early 90s, you maybe saw one palomino welsh and never any buckskins. As a little girl, I ALWAYS wanted a buckskin because they were my favourite colour. I ended up with many grey A’s and B’s and finally now that I’m too “old” for ponies (in the sense that there aren’t many opportunities for small adults to ride ponies other than in a handful of shows), I have a section B Buckskin Farnley mare. She is very stunning and she will never leave this farm haha.
