Ever wished you could see a picture of a pony long past that appears in your own ponies pedigree?
Here on The History of Royal Pony Farm we are going to introduce you to a few mares that show up in
many extended pedigrees long after they have left us for greener pastures.
The black pinto mare pictured at left is Jolly Ann #25219
(Jolly Buster Boy #20605 x Vastha Ann #18999).
Petting Jolly Ann on the tail is a young Brian Richardson.
The name of the mare behind Brian and Jolly Ann is
unknown as it was not written on the photograph.
Jolly Ann is also pictured below with Donna holding her
and Shirley aboard.
Jolly Ann appears in the pedigrees of many of todays best
known black and white pinto Foundation Classic
American Shetlands. She is the great granddam of
Lee-Land Chile #131996A on his dam's side. She is also
the great-great granddam of Red Rock Kid Lee #133393A.
Jolly Ann's bloodlines continue in the Royal Pony Farm/Lee-Land herd
through Lee-Land Lorelei #143838A, Lee-Land Long Stocking
#138193A, Royal Impressive Heather #142456A, Royal Sheer Bliss
#146238A, Dar-Lu's Chico #150007A, Royal Toots #141603A (and
probably many more) who can be seen on the Royal Pony Farm Mare
Page. Lee-Land Caper #146013A, one of Royal Pony Farm's herdsires
also descends from Jolly Ann.
Pictured below is Waterblossom #22123 (Silver Nevada #21770 x
Riverside's Queen #20432). The photo is not dated so the identity of the
foal at her side is not known.
Many descendants of Waterblossom can be found withThomas &
Jeanette Stephenson's "Linpacojo's" prefix, Frank & Linda Brown's "B &
T's" prefix and many others. There are currently no descendents of
Waterblossom in the Royal Pony Farm herd.

Waterblossom was among a number of ponies that were purchased by
Royal Pony Farm from H.J. Brooks and Son Pony Farm of Belmond,
Iowa. The Richardson Family and the Brooks Family were very close
and when Joe passed away the family gave the remaining Brooks
ponies to the Richardson's.
The early Brooks ponies did not carry a prefix or suffix so are difficult
to trace back to H.J. Brooks and Son Pony Farm using the American
Shetland Pony Club's online studbooks. Many ponies from the early
days of Royal Pony Farm that carry the Royal prefix were from H.J.
Brooks and Son breeding.

Two of the many Royal Roan's that had the barn name "Daisy". The black and
white photo is the original Daisy who Donna believes to be a descendant of
Jolly Malta. The bay roan at left is also from that line but Donna cannot
recall her registered name.
She may be Royal Duke's
Countess the dam of Royal
Gretta-Gee.
At Left: Royal Blue Belle #26195 (Portia Boy x Jolly Malta). Blue
Belle was a lovely blue roan daughter of Jolly Malta that was
shown and also went on to become a successful Royal broodmare.
There are still descendants of Royal Blue Belle in the Royal Pony
Farm herd including Royal Dad's Choice #147677A who resides
with Bob & Shirley in Texas.
