It was love at first sight—a magnificent-moving colt, powering effortlessly at his dam’s side, hocks springing strong and high, neck arching up and reaching out from his strong shoulders, front legs shooting out straight, and a huge shy eye noticing where I stood at all moments. This was my first introduction to Carol Holcombe’s colt out of her top mare, Hastening Mirage. The colt would be named North Forks Brenin Cardi—a future king indeed, decended from Welsh Royalty.

NORTH FORKS BRENIN CARDI is a unique and extremely talented sport stallion. From his first inspection as a 2-year old where he was lauded as a “Fabulous stallion” to his RPSI scores last year of 8s and 9s, he has proven that function follows form. Cardi is an exceptional representation of SPORTHORSE TYPE, CORRECT SUSPENDED MOVEMENT, KIND CHARACTER AND EXCEPTIONAL OFFSPRING.
Canterbrook Llwynog Du, sire of Cardi and herdsire of North Forks Farm, 'Nogs' is owned by Carol Holcombe. He passes on his wonderful pony type and is an athletic and correct stallion. "I chose him for his incomparable breeding, stemming predominately from Nebo Black Magic and Derwen Rosina's last. He has 6 crosses to Pentre Eiddwen Comet and his presence and fluid action are breath taking. He has consistantly passed his superb quality to his foals", says Carole Holcombe of North Fork Farms.
Hastening Mirage, kind, beautiful and huge-moving, after spending her life as a broodmare, trotted off with 1st place honors in a large class of Welsh cobs at age 20. She comes from a long line of excellent working Cobs and her personality is remarkable. She is also of Llanarth True Britain breeding and her beauty, movement, and large kind eye can be seen in her offspring. She has passed her very best to Cardi.
*Trevallion Royal Consort, owned and driven extensively, 'Con' is owned by Ranlan Stud breeder, Randy Bullard and has been a successful import from Wales both in the breeding shed and in harness. Bayford True Patriot, imported sire of many exceptional breeding and performance cobs and cob crosses and grandsire to Cardi. 'Riot' is owned, driven, fox hunted, and loved by Kate Shields of the Hastening Farm in Virginia.

"He's fancy! ...Think of your walk...it's an excellent walk... Boy, he is really something... He can compete with the best of them. ... You know, he's going to have an amazing passage and piaffe, he really is! He's really special... We should have a little Brentina baby. Wouldn't that be fun to experiment?"
