The Cat Creek Welsh Stud is a continuation of the Ar-Sh-We
(ARabian-SHetland-WElsh) Farm which started its Welsh pony raising in 1960. This
was the fulfillment of Grayce Hoffa's dream, to "have a pony".
This dream started with a desire to have a black Welsh pony mare. The search led to
Mr and Mrs V.C. Johnson's Lillegard, in Northville MI. The black filly was only
available if the dam was also purchased. So, to Kalamazoo, MI came the mare *Cefn
Mist and her black filly, Lillegard Crescent by*Revel Race.

While at the Lillegard, Grayce was so smitten by the filly *Blaenbwch Treasure that
another trip was made and both *Blaenbwch Treasure and her half brother, imported
in utero, Lillegard Sparkler came to join us.

Others followed: *Cilrhedyn Mair, *Blaenbwch Lillibet, *Kirby Cane Gladly, *Piethyll
Gay Socks, Farnley Garland and the stallion *Revel Race.

The percuit of raising Black color led to the lease of the many times champion stallion
Severn Black Diamond.
Hopes were high that *Cefn Mist would do her magic and again produce a black foal.
Grayce entered the hospital 2 weeks before Misty foaled a bay colt of the highest
quality. Grayce only seeing pictures of this colt Ar-Sh-We Cefn then passed on.

Harlan carried on the dream of raising black colored Welsh finding the greatest
success in the most unassuming little mare, *Cilrhedyn Mair.
This family's involvement in Welsh ponies is on its third phase located now in the
rolling hills of North West Missouri. And, wouldn't you know it, a decendent of
*Blaenbwch Treasure, Welshaven Dusky Daze, kicking it off.
Join me in this walk down Memory Lane and take a gander at what we have been up
to all these years.
Our site is in its infancy, so we extend a warm Welcome to visit again.
Thank you for stopping by........ Sally
