| This gray yearling is a half-Thoroughbred filly out of 13.1h Christian (full sister to USEF/AHSA National Champion "I Don't Know") by the well-established pony hunter sire, 14.0h Smallwood Paris (by J. Hunt out of the Farnley Lustre mare, Cymraeg Raindrop, full sister to the legendary Cymraeg Rainbeau). As "Kuni" matures, she is showing signs of being your classic Welsh-TB looker. She has a decidedly long neck , a big shoulder, deep heartgirth and a mile of leg. Kuni is easy to handle, accepting farrier work, baths, mane and bridlepath trimming and even being pastured by herself without fuss or muss. She used to look like a real YAK, but you can see how she is growing into herself now--so much so that she looks to be VERY competitive in the breeding division next year!
