Sire: Thistledown Arctic Lore (Thistledown Arctic Sun x Thistledown Gala Queen by Mynach Buccaneer)
Dam: Alvesta Fairy Lustre (CadlanValley Pirate x Alvesta Mystique by GlanNant Adonis)
Proud to retain for the next generation of our breeding program! We've dearly hoped for a Lore x Fairy Lustre (15 yrs old) replacement daughter, as this has been such a lovely cross (Owain, Oberon, Oneida), and we just love the look of this filly, plus she's got about the sweetest temperament one could ask for.
We've now retained three Fairy Lustre daughters, including Silver Lustre & Caelia. What a mare she's been.

Dam: Alvesta Gwyneth (Nerwyn Gwyn x Alvesta Lil Gumdrop)
Just love our first Sunwillow Alfonso foal—a special boy full of presence, movement, and the sweetest demeanour! He's found a wonderful home in Kentucky with Brandye Smith at Visionary Welsh Ponies.
