Morton's Harkin

Morton's Harkin

2008 12.1 Section B Welsh Pony Stallion
Registered with The Welsh Pony & Cob Society of Canada and The North American Sportpony Registry

Harkin is a lovely 2008 colt. He is an eye catching pony that gets compliments and turns heads everywhere he goes. Harkin has the greatest colouring and markings you could ever want. With his dark liver chestnut coat, 4 high white socks, star and belly spot, this guy is unforgettable. He exudes the "look at me" attitude that you want in a show pony. Harkin also has the most wonderful hunter movement I have seen in a small pony in a long time. His knees do not bend! His movement is powerful while still being "huntery." Apart from his flashy looks and outstanding hunter movement, he also has top imported bloodlines.

Harkin comes from a pedigree of modern day champions in the UK, Australia and Europe. Harkin's imported sire, Stockham Commander M has proven himself countless times as both a sire and performance pony for his owners Mortons Show Stables. He has many winning stock on the line and undersaddle. Harkin's imported dam, Moelgarnedd Hamdden, is a Multiple Supreme Champion in the UK and Canada. Her full brother was M&M champion at HOYS in 2009. Her grandsire is the famous Paddock White Lightning. Harkin's pedigree includes Rotherwood Secret Agent, Carwed Charmer, Keston Royal Occasion and the list goes on and on. This handsome pony will mature a top of the line small. Harkin is the perfect height to breed to horse mares to produce top of the line larges, or breed to your pony mare to improve her movement, type, temperament and pedigree. His sire topped the USEF sire ratings in 2004 and we expect this colt to follow in his sire's successful stud career.
