"A horse and rider are
inseparable. A horse would continue to be a horse if it had no rider,
but without a horse a rider is nothing."

ChampionRosedale Royal Flare (Varndell Right Royal x Downland
Flair by Downland Chevalier)
1980 Reg. Section B stallion. Palomino w/star, strip, snip & 4 stockings, 13.1+hh. Imported as a two year old by Pat Clay from the Rosedale Stud in Wales, *Rosedale Royal Flare has left his mark in the Section B scene in North America. Flare has been many times Supreme Champion, (winning his last two Supremes in 1999 at age nineteen), and has also been the sire of many Champion offspring. Not only are Flare's stock known for their correct conformation and Section B type; they also excel in many equine events including offspring on the A show circuit. Flare as well has been shown for many years in performance, including competing for two years with a junior rider at the world renowned Spruce Meadows Battle of the Breeds. Not only has Flare been a serious competitor in under saddle and over fences, he has been ridden on 5 day trail rides, worked cattle and ridden in the mountains for years. It is with a deep sense of loss that Pat and I and all Flare's fans had to say goodbye to him in the winter of 2004 due to an injury. The world of Welsh did lose a fine and noble creature in Flare, but his heart and spirit will live on in his progeny. And I give thanks to Pat Clay for sharing Flare with me and my ponies. -- Pajon Ponies |
