R - line  

Vervale Rara, a delightfully balmy chestnut sabino mare was my second foundation Section A mare. Originally here on lease, I was thrilled when I was able to persuade Barry Shepherd that Rara wanted to stay permanently! Rara is an unbelievable mover, with heaps of character and attitude, something all her foals have inherited so far. Rara may not be the easiest mare to handle - but she is a massive mover, epitomises the welsh mountain pony spirit and has a heart of gold. This line is represented at the stud by Rara and her daughters Taraco Razzmatazz who is a massive moving prizewinning grey filly and Taraco Rosetta a stunning chestnut sabino filly by Lapstone Paragon. I cannot thank Barry Shepherd enough for letting me buy such a beautiful mare who is founding such a lovely dynasty of section A ponies for me.  Please click on the photos to see more information, pedigree and pictures of the ponies.

Vervale Rara

This is a beautiful chestnut sabino mare by Supreme Champion Vervale Gangster and out of Supreme Champion Neuaddparc Welsh Lady (by Penboeth Raffles). Rara has founded the R-line at Taraco and she has had two stunning foals for me including 2005 RASE winner Taraco Renegade. 

Taraco Razzmatazz (2005 Section A filly)

An exquisite grey filly by the Supreme Champion Vervale Grenade and out of Vervale Rara (by Vervale Gangster). Razzle is full sister to the 2005 RASE winner Taraco Renegade. She is a massive moving filly with an exquisite head and a real 'look-at-me' attitude who was a prizewinner when shown as a yearling.

Taraco Rosetta (2008 Section A filly)

A beautiful chestnut filly by the lovely Springbourne Boy Blue son, Lapstone Paragon and out of Vervale Rara (by Vervale Gangster). This is a stunning filly combining the best of her mum and dad in one spectacular package - she positively floats when she moves, has bone and feather to die for, a beautiful head and the typical welsh character that Rara stamps on all her stock.

Taraco Renegade (2004 Section A colt)

Stunning grey section A colt by Supreme Champion Vervale Grenade and out of Vervale Ra-ra (by S Ch. Vervale Gangster). Renegade was successfully shown in 2005 (including winning  Royal of England).
