Vale Owendale Bart (1979-2007)

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Owendale Bart on September 15th, 2007. Bart was on lease to us from Osory stud for the last three years. During this time we grew quite attached to him and will miss him greatly. His death was sudden and unexpected, as he had been in excellent health and condition.

Owendale Bart was a legendary stallion, sired by Coed Coch Norman (imp) who was a Royal Welsh Show Champion, and out of the mare Valley Lake Breeze (imp) who was a Royal Welsh Show Supreme Champion herself. Bart won multiple Champion and Supreme Champion awards throughout the Eastern States of Australia.

Not only was Bart an outstanding show winner himself, but also a sire of champions. Some notable examples are Osory Destiny (Champion Welsh Mountain Stallion/Colt Sydney Royal 1999 and Supreme Champion Welsh Mountain Pony 2000 NSW All Welsh), Barn Hill Fletcher (Champion Welsh Mountain Pony Stallion Brisbane Royal 2007, Champion Sec A stallion Qld All Welsh 2006, WP&CS Sire-Rating Winner Qld 2007) and Madison Park Knock Out (Multi winner at Royal and All Welsh shows in NSW and Vic).

Bart's legacy is carried on through his grandsons, Angel Park Merlin and Osory Tallyho who are destined to be the sires of the future with outstanding show performances, achieving the highest accolades at the prestigious Sydney Royal and NSW All Welsh Shows.

Goodbye Bart, old man. Rest in peace.
