Oneka's French Silk Foaled: 5/25/03 Color: Bay Reg: ASPC 151712A - Foundation Certified Sire: Royal Red Viking Dam: Bold Print's Dreamer Height: 45 inches
Silk is one of those mares that just gets better and better every day. We purchased her as a weanling from Oneka Ponies and loved her style and disposition then and we love them even more today.
Silk started her show career as a yearling. She was stunning even then but a bit too extreme in looks for the Classic show ring so we chose to show her Modern Pleasure. Silk earned many Top 5 and Top 10 National All Star rankings as a yearling.
We brought Silk back out into the show ring in the Classic Division at the National Shetland Congress in 2005 where she placed Top 10 in every class she was shown in after a year out of the ring.
Silk produced fillies sired by Unique in 2007 and 2008 and is exposed back to Unique for 2009.
Royal Delicate Design Foaled: 8/7/96 Color: Silver Bay Reg: ASPC 144280 - Foundation Certified Sire: Royal Red Viking Dam: Royal Blondie Le Height: 41 inches
Delicate is another dream come true. She is a maternal half sister to our Hall of Fame Halter gelding Royal Beau and a paternal half sister to our beloved Oneka's French Silk. Delicate is a fine example of Royal line breeding and her first foal with Willowlawn's Mr. Unique (HOF) in 2007 made his show ring winner circle debut in 2008. Her 2008 Unique colt we feel is even better.
Delicate is exposed back to Unique for 2009
Two of Delicate's foals have made there mark in the show ring on the West Coast - Royal Devine Design and Plattes Undeniably Royal.
Royal Acclamation Foaled: 6/1/98 Color: Silver Bay Reg: ASPC 146237A - Foundation Certified Sire: Royal Red Viking Dam: Royal Megan Height: 43 inches
I still wasn't over the shock of being able to purchase Delicate when Henry Siemers generously offered to allow Drizzles to join the Platte Ridge mare herd. She may be the best moving of our three Viking daughters and we look forward to many future foals from her and our stallions. She had a colt sired by Willowlawn's Mr. Unique (HOF) in 2008 and is open for 2009.
Royal Charisma Foaled: 5/15/88 Color: Chestnut Sabino Reg: ASPC 138610A - Foundation Eligible Sire: Royal Red Viking Dam: R & R's Honey Crescent Height: 42 inches
A big "Thank You" to Don & Julie Chegwidden of Cheg-Kim Ponies for allowing Charisma to move to Minnesota and join her sisters in the Platte Ridge mare herd! We love how the Viking daughters cross with Unique and look forward to seeing what he and Charisma can do. Charisma is broke to drive double but we plan to just let her be a pasture broodmare.
Charisma is exposed to Willowlawn's Mr. Unique (HOF) for 2009.
