This marks the end of a great journey as we are forced to retire from Welsh pony production after 30 years. This is your last opportunity to acquire a homebred Helicon pony from the farm - all are reasonably priced. We regret that increasing health problems have prevented us from getting these fine youngsters out at the shows for your perusal. You can go by our record - each one offered is from a noted performance family. Please go to www.heliconsportponies.com - Check Our Record for a partial account of our hunter and sport pony wins. We are actively pursuing the acquisition of property for the Helicon Show Stables Annex in CO and then all our stock will be transferred to Molly in Colorado. This is your last chance to obtain a Helicon homebred from Illinois. It has been our great pleasure to supply the Welsh and performance world over several decades. 

George and Thalia

HELICON MAJESTY- Chestnut Sec. B colt. Very appealing - very correct! Has a tremendous outlook on life! Another striking one from Patchwork Dragon Charmer by GlanNant Epic. He has several excellent half siblings on the hunter circuit including Dragonheart who was 8th in the nation in Small Greens in 2008.
HELICON FINAL NOTICE - Pearl grey 3/4 Welsh filly. Refined and elegant - a lovely closing to a remarkable series of 10 offspring from Rolliingwoods Gin-N-Tonic, herself a hunter champion from Wellington to CO and many times WPCSA National Champion Half Welsh. Her #1 foal is multiple National Finals Champion, Helicon Take Notice from 1992.
HELICON HANDSOME- Large statuesque dark grey 3/4 Welsh - from his cheieled face to his level topline and great bone, this is one whopper of a foal! Indefinte potential to join his siblings with halter and performance championships - from Helicon All Smiles by GlanNant Epic
HELICON EPIC STYLE - Late 2007 grey 7/8 Welsh filly by Grand Champion Half Welsh, Helicon Epilogue, a full brother to the famous hunter pony H Take Notice.
Dam is the venerable producer, HelikonTiddlywinks, a granddaughter of Farnley Sparkler. "Annie" is one fancy little package who should make a splendid halter pony and driving pony or mount for a small child. She has numerous half siblings who are champions in the hunter ring.
HELICON ALL MY LOVIN - Chestnut roan late 2007 filly by Helicon Epilogue out of the excellent producer, Helicon All Smiles - both by GLANNANT EPIC! Since the Registry refuses to acknowlege Half Welsh to Half Welsh as registerable Half Welsh, she will not be able to be shown in the Welsh ring, but if you want athletic potential here it is! Love is her grandma's sweetheart!
