MARE SHARE AVAILABILITY
Our ponies are handled from birth with the goal of producing successful riding or driving ponies. We work on bringing out the best movement and temperament while instilling confidence, independent thought, and excellent trainability. Our training program for foals includes leading, grooming, tying, cross tying, loading in the trailer, washing, and clipping. Yearlings are hauled out to see the world. Two year olds are introduced to lunging, saddles, bridles, and harness. As long two year olds they are ground driven and introduced to a rider's weight. They also have more time in the trailer seeing shows and other farms. As 3 year olds they go to one of several of the great trainers we utilize to begin their driving or dressage training. You are welcome to inquire about any foals or young ponies we have listed here as available.
Mare Share is our way of sharing our outstanding and proven mares with you! Pick a mare and one of our stallions (or your own choice of outside stallions) and we do the rest to produce a special foal just for you! Check out more about the mares and the parents and siblings of these ponies on the mare and stallion pages.

YEARLINGS
Tegan Cielo Sonrie (Lascaux Ginkgo x HF Ciela). This yearling Welsh C x Andalusian gelding is the last offspring of this cross with his dam retiring at 20 years of age after an advanced driving career and eight foals. Cielo is a beautiful going grey pony that should mature at 14.1 like his siblings. Correct in movement and conformation, this pony can take you to the top in dressage or carriage driving. His many full and half siblings are proven in open competition. $9500
Tegan Cielo Sonrie is an easy going guy with loads of talent. Loads, stands, crossties, clips, and all other normal yearling milestones.
Cielo was born with a hyper-pigmentation in his left eye (a dark spot). He was seen by the renowned equine ophthalmologist Dr. Dennis Brooks DVM DAVCO as a foal and we revisited Dr. Brooks in July 2024. Cielo's eye had no changes and was declared a non-issue. We are happy to provide his latest vet records to any interested party.
Cielo's dam was driven at the advanced level of Combined Driving in a team. His sire is a multi-champion driving pony, sire of dressage, driving, and event ponies, and supreme champion in-hand at WPCSA shows. Cielo's full and half siblings have sold in the mid-fives as young going undersaddle dressage prospects. Cielo's pedigree has successful FEI dressage horses as well as National Champion Driving ponies.
Some of his full and half siblings are shown below.
These are two of Tegan Cielo Sonrie's full siblings. Tegan Aurelio (ridden here by Syke Newkirk and owned by Jamie Sawyer) is schooling Fourth Level. Tegan Ceri (driven and owned by Suzy Stafford) who was the 2023 USEF Reserve National Champion Prelim Single Pony. Ceri had her career cut short by a reaction to an antibiotic injection which resulted in muscle damage to her neck. Ceri is now a broodmare and has produced two premium GRP offspring.
These four, Willow, Owen, Poncio, and Pielo are all half siblings (same dam) as Tegan Cielo Sonrie. You can explore Lascaux Ginkgo's page for a look at his half siblings from his sire's side as there are too many to list here.
